 The law requires that property shall be assessed according to it's full valuation. There are cases ol ierord which pay on FORTY PER GENT OF VALUATION.

A LIFTED EDITORIAL WITH OUR COMPLIMENTS TO INTANGIBLE AND PETERSBURG

For the last two or three years there has been a small epidemic O. bend issues by Alaskan towns Gen. era ly these bond issues have been for the purpose of erecting new and improved school buildings, than which there is no more worthy pur- pose for bond issue and, of course, issuing bonds is the accepted meth cd of raising funds for national, state, county and municipal pur- poses. Because this is the accept ed methods, few citizens stop to figure what this methtod costs them
 One of the latest municipalities to vote bond issue is Seward. That

prosperous With their prosperity would come more employment, big ger payrolls, improved conditions generally. Editor rote: The same argument is put forth by the sein- ers)
 Opponents of reduced stumpage charges to all loggers may claim that logs are available to the mills in Alaska at lower costs than on Pu- get Sound and elsewhere. This will Oe conceded, but there are so many other disadvantages in Alaska oper-
 ations that the loggers and the mill: need a greater differential if the in dustry is to prosper. Commercial bodies of Southeast ern Alaska, the towns officials, ev erybOdy should agitate for lowe
 stumpage rates in the Tongass Ma
 tiOnal Forest.

FVERYBODIES BUSINESS IS NO.
 BODIES BUSINESS

At is quite noticeable in Alaska towns that the boosters for the bis bond issues for schools and other purposes are in the main not prop erty holders or permanent settlers. They are more interested in their jobs and that interest fades away when they are divorced from the pay roll They return to the land from whence they came unwOrried and indifferent as to how bond is- sues they boosted for, will be met. It has been pointed out in several in- stances that these bond boosters are not even interested in owning an ordinary shack but live in houses upon which others pay taxes.
 The next class which is interested in bond issues in Alaska-from the dinkv bond issue to the largest-are the banks. Just a little figuring OF what any municipality pays on it's bond issue and it is very evident that interest is more in interest. ,
 In particular, Petersburg has a heavy load to carry with it's bond is- sue of $120,O0O. It is meeting it's first payment of principal-$5,0 ,0OO and has paid out more than that amount in interest alone.

LESE MAJESTY,
LESE MAJ JESI4, trom Ketchikan Sunday Chronicle LET'S CUT PRICE OF STUMPAGE
-------.-..s-Asa.4-A -S

In the Tongass National Forest surrounding Ketchikan stumpage charges from one to two dollars Der thousand for logs. These logs are landed at the sawmills at costs approximating $10. per thousand.
 Thus it appears that the stumpa&se charges amount to as much as 20 per cent of their gross incomes.
 There are reports that the for ee ny bureau, in order to induce capital te come to Alaska to build raper mills, is to contract with thc companies to the effect that their |stumpage may not be more than fifty cents per thousand, or less.
 In this the forestry bureau is cor rect. They should offer all these in ducements to the paper manufact urers. but at the same time they should lend encouragement t0 the present loggers and lumber in fustry They likewise should give all loggers this low stunEpage rate Argument will be put forth that the paper manufacturers will be re- quired to log off everything in their areas while the smaller logging out fits of today are given the choice of the best stands of timber This ar gument does not hol6. All men, all corporations, all industry should be treated on an equality basis.-(Ed. Note:-(Har! HarI Hee! Heen
 It will be maintained by some that the forestry bureau even at it's present stumpage rates is not able to pay it's own, expenses. This may all be true, but likewise is it a fact that the navy, the biological survey, tine coast and geodetic survey, the lighthouse service, and other de- partments- are not self-supporting They never were intended to be. They were intended as service arms of our government, maintained al the general expense of the tax pay CTS, and so they should be.
 The logging and lumber industry of Alaska is always hard put It is "a struggle to compete with tl:9 mills of the states, and if the stump age rates should be cut it would mean that some of the loggers and mills which are now having difficult ties in making ends meet would be

town will borrow on it's bonds the sum of $5O,OOO to erect a new, and undoubtedly needed, school build Ing. That the citizens voted almost unanimously in favor of bonding the town shows that they are alive to the needs of the rising generation; that the best is none too good foI them. This is as it should be.
 Seward will have this fall a fine schcolbuilding ready, paid for with $5O,OOO of borrowed money, but what will Seward have to pay for it's $5O,000 school building by the time it has repaid the loan?
 Assuming the bonds will bear in ; terest at per cent and are to be retired in 90 years-one-third every ten years, the people of Seward will have paid during the first ten years the principal sum $16,666.66 ana interest at $3.OOO per year for ten years, or $3O,OOO, total of $46,- 66G 66, or $4,666.66 per year.
 During the second ten-year perio l the principal payment will be the same, but the interest will be re- dured to $20,O00., on total for the sec. nd ten-year period of $36, ,666.6 66 or $3,666.66 per year.
 During the third ten-year peri iod the principal account remains the same, SIG, 6,66666 and the inter 1 est is still further reduced to $20, 900. for the ten-year period, making the total payment for the period $26,66666, or $2,666.66 per year for the third ten-year period. f Thus when it is fully paid for, Seward will have a $5O,0O0 school building for which it has paid $120, 900, and the building will be 30 years old.
 Had Seward, ten years ago, sens ing the growth of population and the necessity for improved school quarters, put into a sinking fund the $4,666.66 per year it will be re quired to set aside for the purpos- during the next ten years, it could today have built a $50,000 school building, paid cashfor it, if the sink ing fund had been put out at inter est. and had some money left to re tuln to the city treasury.
 Anchorage wants to borrow $75 900 for a similar purpose. At tho same rate of interest and the same retirement periods, Anchorage will have paid at the end of 30 years fo, her $75,OOO school house, $165, 900
 If Alaskan communities have faith in their permanency and growth, they must realize that i'm proved educational facilities will be rcquired eventually, and the time to prepare for them is NOW. Fore sight means economy Hindsight is Fairbanks Miner.
