CORRECT INFORMATION
(Stroller's Weeklv)

totrOllor WoekIy)
 Tourists are now coming into Alas ka at the rate of more than one thou sand each week, and as each one of them is good for one thousand ques- tions each day, it does not require much of mathematician to determine that considerable information is being spilled in the Territory these days. In- cidentall,y it behooves Alaskans to give reliable information to the stran- ger within our gates for he is bound to go home and repeat what he hears not once but several hundred times. That is why every Alaskan should be self-constituted and reliable bureau of information. While it is true that the average tourist prefers to see po- lar bears, Eskimos and reindeer, Alas kans should make it a point to i'm press them with the real attractions of the country.

OIL BIOLOGISTS
 GOING COLD BAY
AT iNiSkIN OIL DISTRICT FOR PAST TWO MONTHS; NOW AT
 CHICkALOON DISTRICT

Geologists H. s. Forgeron and Chas. l.. Lake, representing the Superior Oil Company in survey at Iniskin Bay, returned to Anchorage a few days ago from the lower Cook Inlet region, ac- cording to arrivals in Seward last evening. The geologists, in company with Jack McCord, Ben Poindexter and Henry McKinnon, we'll known packer and guide, left Anchorage yes terday for the Chickaloon district, where oil seepages, which have been described by The Gateway several times during the past three years, will be investigated.
 It is stated upon the party's return from the Chickaloon field, the geolo- gists will come to Seward, departing for Cold Bay on the next sailing of the steamer Starr. It is believed the men will remain in Kanatak for a number of weeks, after which they will proceed to Yakataga beach where oil drilling is now under way.
 With respect to the Iniskin oil field area the geologists were silent as to their opinion of the region, but as MT. McCord related to The Gateway last month indications point to the fact that they look with favor upon the general structure and form atiou Of the district.

PEDDLERS AND TOWN BUILDING
Anchorage Times)

The next time a peddler calls at your home and tries to sell you some thing tell him-or her-that you are a little short of money and will pay next month; or tell him you are out of work and would like to arrange a credit for couple of months, or tell him about the old sourdough next door who needs financial assistance to take him to the states for special treat ment, and ask him to contribute little to the fund being raised; or try to get a donation for the agricultural fair, the church organ fund, the pub- lie library of the children's play ground. Do any of these things and you will find that the peddler is not much of help to you or the commu- nity upon which you depend for your income.
 The merchants who are established in town, who pay their proportion of taxes, give employment to labor and contribute regularly in cash and effort, to the many things necessary to the well-being of all the patronage you have to give whenever they are able to supply your needs. And it does not often happen that you cannot find at hoe the things peddlers endeavor to sell you.
 The man who earns his money in a community and who does not do his buying there, is not much of a help to himself or to his town. If all were like him there would be no mer- chants and without merchants there would be small need for towns and smaller need for the services of the many men and women who depend upon them for employment It would be like stopping the wheels inside your watch and expecting the hands to continue keeping time.
 Most of those who buy from ped dlers do not realize the injury they do their towns. They do not think of the risk they run in buying in that manner. It does not occur to them, until it is too late, that there is no chance for recovery if the goods are not as represented, no chance for ex. change if a mistake has been made in sizes. The peddler has all the best of it, the buyer takes all the risks, and the hometown merchant is the goat in any case, for it is he who builds the towns and keeps them going with the aid of those who recognize the impor. tance and justice of spending their money where it will do them the most

 RIVER PROSPECTING
Cuts Thru Field
Engineer Looks Upon Region With Much Favor; Will Be Great As
 set to Seward Business

B. Abagasa, a prOspector at Nuka Bay, has just completed building boat with which he purposes to go up the Nuka river shortly, to spend the remainder of the season prospecting. The river extends back quite ways, for about 20 miles it is stated, and has never been thoroughly investigated from a mining standpoint. As it cuts through the present known field 1t ap- pears as though the river prospecting might prove to be fruitful in results. On account of it's accessibility, the re zion traversed by the stream makes it fine opportunity for the average prospector with a small grubstake to prospect the region. Taken as whole the entire Nuka Bay district has not been prospected, it is reported, with the exception of what little prospect work and investigation has been car ried along near the shores of the bay. Men now in the district are firm in their belief that the big pay will be found back in the hills.
 As Anton Anderson, engineer with the Alaska Road Commission, who re- turned to Seward last week from the district, where he supervised the be- ginning of the new mile road now un- der construction, stated to The Gate way, "the entire region is poor mans district in this respect, that on account of the transportation facili- ties and nearness to Seward, the cost of prospecting and operation is great ly under that found in other camps in the Territory" MT. Anderson aside from his road engineering ability, is a geologist of no mean standing, hav- ing followed that profession for many years in other parts of the world, pre- vious to coming to Alaska, looks upon the Nuka Bay district with much favor and is confident of it's future.

that where the tax rate is high the
percentage of delinquency is also
high. Where the total tax rate is
around 80 or 40 mills the percentage
of delinquency is low, but where it
mounts to over 100 mills, from 20 to
40 per cent of the taxes go delinquent.
The average tax rate in Stevens coun-
ty is 1894 and the delinquency SO per
cent These figures correspond close
ly with those for the neighboring
counties of Big Stone, Swift and
Pope.
Taxes are getting continually high

increased amounts spent upon schools,
roads, paved streets, sewers, curbs

TO PROTECT THE CHILDREN.

Among the important measures to
come before the state legislatures
this winter will be the ratification of
the child labor amendment to the Fed
eral Constitution. The amendment is
intended to make it possible for con-
gress to enact legislation that will
keep children out of factories and
other employment that prevents
their attending school and that
stunts their growth.
The amendment itself does none
of these things. 1t is simply what is
called an enabling act. 1t authorizes
congress to take whatever action that
body shall deem necessary to protect
children from exploitation.
Many states already have legisla-
ton to this end But some of the
states, notably the Southern cotton
manufacturing states, have refused
to enact such legislation. This makes
unfair competition on the part of
these states with states where child
labor is prohibited. So it is necessary
to have national legislation to put all
states on an equal basis.
Congress repeatedly has tried to
enact legislation to protect children.
But the supreme court has decided
the Constitution did not grant the
necessary authority. The pending
amendment is intended to cure this
defect and enable congress to act eff
fectively. Its ratification by the
states will make possible effective ac-
ton against those who would make
their profits out of working little
children in observation-disclosures City

Where the High Taxes
Come from and
Where They Go
The Morris Tribune.

Ray P. Chase has written for the
Taxpayers Association pamphlet on
1.-THE Path of Your Tax Dollar" which
presents in understandable form the
problem of high taxes for the benefit
of those who really have a desire to
study this problem instead of just
railing at it.
Auditor Chase INDUCES in only so
much of comment and argument as to
make his statistics understandable.
He offers only obvious deductions, all
the more valuable because they can
be so easily read out Of his figures.
Mr.. Chase contends that taxes are
not too high for the man who can
pay them, and that such men are
not asking so much for lessened tax
burden as for a greater return for
the money which they pay. But
taxes are too high for the man who
cannot pay, and interesting figures
on the percentage Of delinquency show

as against 14,422 in 1928.
That 70 per cent of the juniors
completed their work in 1924 as
against 70 per cent in both 1928
and 1922, II per cent in 1921, and
IS per cent in 1920.
That organized clubs of juniors
numbered 1,94I as contrasted
with l,846 in 1928, 1859 in 1922,
and 1,487 in 1921.
Junior club work has grown stead
lily from it's beginning and is now a
permanent feature Of the educational
movement in Minneapolis" says the
state leader. 'The support by public
organizations for the general work
and by business men for special in
centives has been better than in
previous years. Of the total number
enrolled in 1924, 44.3 per cent were
boys and 55.7 per cent girls. That so
many boys, many of whom are over
Is years of age, are taking up club
work is something to give encourage
ment."

large part of the tax money is col
lected for the use of the local units,
like the counties, cities, villages, town
ships and school districts, (which
taxes are entirely under local control)
Mr.. Chase discusses the third largest
item of public expense which he finds
to be interest on public Indebtedness.
The net public Indebtedness of the
country is $2S3.77 per person, an in
crease of $50 per cent in ten years.
The federal government greatly in
creased its indebtedness on account of
the war, but states, counties, cities,
towns and school districts have also
increased theirs. The state of Min
nesota has outstanding bonds of $45,-
10000, the varioIs counties owe
$95, sol, 771.05, the cities and villages
owe S119,9O4,11s.72, the townships
owe S., 725, 092.S7, and the school dis
tricts $48,938, 708.70, grand total in
the state Of S315,851 ,664.86, which
draws interest at the rate of four per
cent to eight per cent and may be
safely put at an average of five per
cent.
This means that more than $15,000,-
900 must be collected from the tax
payers of the state each year to pay
interest.
The total public indebtedness of
Stevens county is $1,173,551.52, dis
tributed as follows:
