The gun is capable of bombarding the coast of England with ease. It was the plan of the Germans, if they obtained control of Calais and other channel ports to turn their long range guns on England during the war. Should France ever come to grips with Great Britain the discovery would be made that the is land empires "splendid isolation"- a factor that has contributed to it's de- fense and it's greatness for centuries, notwithstanding the invaders on more than one occasion ran the blockade-is something of myth, for France not only possesses rifles that could shell the coast but has the largest airfleet in existence.

School Debate Last Night
 Draws Out Large Crowd

Those persons interested in the school and fortunate enough to be
 present at the school last evening,
 were delightfully."- entertained and
 agreeably surprised at the orchestra
 recital and debate given by the stu
 dent body.
 The debate was especially fine, and
 parents who were present had every reason to be proud of their children's
 capabilities, and the principal and fac
 ulty deserve the sincere thanks for the tremendous advancements that have been made lately in the Seward
 school.
 There was nothing mechanical in the manner of delivery. Each member of of both teams had reliable data and demonstrated his or her ability to in telligently discuss their subject. A
 person could not help but realize that this is one of the greatest of advantag- es to city of community; we all
 realize that many of our later day de- cisions are really formed during our school days, and the proper steering of the mind to logic in reasoning will have great effect on the future wei fare of the entire country.
 The personality of the Principal and Teachers, and the esprit de corps of the student body was plainly felt, and this is the first essential to a suc- cessful school, community or business, and every good American and citizen should make it their duty to take a greater interest in our schools, to at- tend school affairs, occasionally visit the school and show by their presence an interest in teachers and pupils and inculcate in their minds a real desire for supremacy through knowing their town is behind them and interested in their success.
 The subject of the debate Adjust ed Compensation" was not an easy one but it was admirably advanced by the Affirmative and Negative sides, and as was stated by one of the judges, each felt like giving the decision to both teams, but as a decision had to be rendered, the judges voted two for the affirmative and one for the mega tive. The judgment was apparently a popular one, because those present, following a suggestion by Professor Goodsky, that at the Oxford debates, the audience voted, although the judg- es decision stood, a poll of those pres ent showed twenty-one for the affirm ative and eight negative votes. The judges of the debate were Miss Moss ford, Mr. C. R Morford, and MT Chas. Hinde.
 We must not fail to compliment the orchestra. We wager no other school in the territory can equal them, and their popularity was demonstrated by the hand they received.

 How the accident came about is a mystery, but it is supposed that he slipped from the top of the car and, as the snow is very deep and piled high along the tracks, the unfortunate man had no show to jump nor to save himself from going under the train.

TAXING THE FUR FARMER
lNaldeZ AIinerl

Under new regulations just issued by the Forest Service the rental of the islands in Prince William Sound and we presume, in other localities, re- vision of the annual rental fee has been made by which the rental is bas- ed upon the acreage of the island and the availability of the acreage for fox raising purposes. Thus a base rate of 15 cents per acre is fixed as the an nual rental fee. From this base rate is deducted the acreage not suitable for fox raising Thus an island, ac- cording to an illustration given by the service, that has 66 2-5 per cent of it's acreage suitable for fox raising car ries an annual rent of ten cents per acre.
 Who determines the availability of the ground for fox raising purposes? ? An expert in raising foxes? No! The investigation and classification is done by a man presumed to be expert in cruising timber, and whose knowledge of fox farming may be and probably is nil. As a result of the new regula tiosn and classification, the rental of some of the islands has been raised from $25 to S250. This is something of a raise when it is considered that some of the islands, in fact a majority of them, have been in operation but short time and have not yet reached the maximum of production.
 Let us take as an example of the injustice of the new ruling fox farm CT who has been engaged in the bus mess for about three years. This year his production was 19 skins for which he will receive probably $500. Of this sum the Forest Service takes S250 for rent of the island, the terri tory takes a license fee of S10 and 75 cents for each skin of S14.25, a total of S27425, leaving a balance of S1,- 635.75 for his labor, fox feed, ship ping charges and commission. Deduct ing the three latter charges how much will he have left for labor? A little less than nothing.
 Fur farming is an industry that should receive every encouragement both from the territory and from the
Seward daily gateway., 1924-03-15

l Federal Government. Every fox raised lis an addition to the wealth of the
 territory, and until the industry is firm | ly established upon a profitable basis the taxes should be as small as pos sible.
 Another feature of the system, H. illustrative of the evils of bureaucratic government in Alaska is the fact that not all fox islands in Alaska pay this or any other rental. The islands men toned are in the national forest, and the rentals are not imposed by the federal government upon all of the is lands of Alaska used for fox farming but is imposed only upon those is lands under the jurisdiction of the Forest Service. Islands outside of the jurisdiction of the bureau are not required to pay any rental.
 The federal tax on a merchantile business in Alaska is $1O on a busi- ness of $4,000, or under ,and $250 pays the tax on a business of S50,00O. Prob ably the fox farmer whose business or sales amount to the sum of $50,000 a year would not object to paying a rent of $250, but it looks like an attempt to strangle a promising industry to place such rental upon a production of less than S2,000.
 It would appear that rental based upon the production of each island rather than upon it's acreage, would be fair, and would undoubtedly produce, if that is what is sought, revenue at least equal to that which will ac- crue under the present system, and would have the advantage of placing the burden upon those best able to bear it.
