CITIZEN SCORES DIRTY
WORK IN LEGISLATURE

Attiea, Nov. TO- 1925.
Editor Star Herald: =;
have been wondering why tne I'm I'm
tors of papers published IN tne LII
counties of this state do not VloieuIy
attack and expose the schemes Oh lne
politicians of some Of the bottom coun-
ties of this state. l lived several years
i'm one of these counties CMisslsslppl
and know something Of the condIIl4{E5 ~
of the matter. -. a,.a
Mis- ssippi county has bullt more
than q hundred miles Of hard rOaus'
nj n cost of S22O00.00 per mile. IhaI
is the price paid the contractors. Anu
Tho oong 'iawvers." commissioners
"et al. got theirs They sold bolus -
raise this money. amounting to some
where near two and a half mlliloh
dollars. Other of the bottom couillles
have Feen as wildly eXtrayagant as
this. Crittenden, Poinsett and others'
The result is that property is so heaV-
ily faxed i'm these counties thal lne
owners face ruin and have ralseu d
howl
So lhe politicians and schemers nave
promised them to turn fancy trick VI
the legislature and relieve them oi
their awful burden, "or part OF IT,
Their scheme is to pass a law uhder
which the state viii take over all pun
lie Improvement Indebtedness in tue
state and collect the money from all
the people of the state to pay these
debts.
Some of the preliminary work was
done i'm the last legislature and at the
next session of that body great effort
will be made to enact this law. They
aim to include all public Improvement
districts,
These bottom counties have been just
as wildly extravagant in the matter
of drainage. In Mississippi county
over 10000 acres Of land was sold Tor
drainage tax alone in one year, ana
no bidder would pay the tax for II.
SO 1t was bought by the drainage
board. This tax alone was $3.50 per
acre.
l heard Senator Alexander, from
that county, promise the voters that II
he was elected he would pass this law
and relieve them Of nine-tenths OF
their taxes. | have talked with a
number of men in this county and
they seem to not have heard of this
scheme, and appear to be not the least
interested. But if this law is enact
ed they will awake to find their tax
increased at least five times what it
now is 1t seems to me that the press
of the hill counties should inform the
people and expose this scheme, and
the voters in these counties should
elect only the most trustworthy men to
represent them, men openly pledged to
do all in their power TO defeat this
scheme.
There will doubtless be great temp
tations which they will have to meet.

Jack M'Cord Emphasizes
 Help Ceodetic Survey

Before leaving on the Admiral Wat son for Anchorage last night, Jack McCord again emphasized the impor- tance of the Geologic Survey to all Alaskans, stating that many strikes had been made by following the ad- vice of this prominent department, Since the death of Alfred Brooks, MT. Capps has been at the head of the de- partment, and he also is greatly inter ested in Alaskan mineralogy.
 Mir. McCord declared that the mem bers of the Geologic Survey had vol untarily cut the appropriations of the department from s15O,000 ito s75,O0O during the war, but this sum now was not enough to allow the usual com plement of men in the field He ask ed that the Seward chamber of com merce cooperate with all chambers in the Territory in securing the full appropriation for the department as it's members were prohibited from ask ing or lobbying for an increase.

 the Nuka Bay Run

1t is reported that Captain Charles Emswiler of this city has chartered the gas boat Mary Ellen and barge, from Capt. Jack Riley, of Valdez, and will place the vessel on the Seward Nuka Bay run this season. The Mary Ellen was built by Capt.

She will carry con- siderable tonnage and a number of passengers.
 The large barge will give Nuka Bay a good freight and passenger service, and an effort will, be made by the res idents to have a mail route establish ed.

WILL START CONSTRUCTION

A Gateway representative was in formed by MT. Frank Reid, while in Anchorage this week, that his com pany would start on it's power project in the near future despite the refusal of the voters to grant them a char ter. The proposition embraces the expending of nearly s200,000 for dam
 generators and power lines, and will give the railroad belt cheap power and light. Generators turning but 600 revolutions per minute will be used, and it is estimated that 25,O00 horse power will be developed. Seward will benefit from this project, accord ing to MT. Reid, as several contracts for poles will be let in this vicinity.

1T is not due to any inherent short

AS long as n child is able to go
