NO CAUSE FOR ALARM.

While the commerce of Alaska with the States in 1927 was disappointing in that it showed q shrinkage in the commodities produced In the Territory and shipped to the States, the report of the years business issued recently by Col lector of Customs J. c. Mcbride was not entirely lacking in bright spots The decline in mineral production. which was small, 1t apparent was due to unfavorabe conditions rather than to slackenng in the actual mining opera tions Unusually dry weather during the sum mer months curtailed to large degree opera tions in most of the placer mining districts and the loss in gold output was accounted for by that circumstance In the copper mining industry lower prices, together with slightly lower grade of ore mined likewise resulted in a decrease. All indications point to more general demand for copper this year and consequently i'm proved price. And during the past year steady progress was made in development programs in the Fairbanks district where large-scae gold dredging operations will be launched this year There was increase in the tourist trade which was the largest in volume in the Territory s history. This is growing to be sizeable in dustry, one that properly directed and handled will inevitably take it's place as one of Alaska s major of wealth.
 The tremendous shrinkage in the salmon pack in 1927 was the real factor in the great loss experienced in commerce. It of those "off years' which have occurred in the past and, despite the conservation and protection campaigns administered in behalf of the salmon, very probably will be experienced in the future Even the scientists puzzled to account for the phenomenally short and late of fish which almost the entire Pacific Coast. And where the experts cannot arrive at cause, it is folly for the laymen to attempt it. The loss in quantity of pack partly compensated by the price advances which likely, also, to continue through the coming Business, local and otherwise, suffered from the shortened fishing and packing seasons, which demonstrates how closely is our general prosperity connected with and dependent upon the fisheries industry. This should suggest to all of us the necessity for imposing as few artificial handicaps is possible the industry from which such great preponderanee of Ter ritorial taxes derived and out of which so many Alaskans their livelihood. This att- tude wont please of the corporation bait ers' but it would be almost impossible to do that anyway.
 All in all the year had it's compensations. That the Territory is not in bad way, econ omically or industrally, is clearly evidenced by the showing of balance of trade in it's favor which amounted to $21,473,960. That is not large amount in these days of billion dollar business but it's proportion to the value of incoming commerce is than merely respectable, it is almost twothirds of that value.

TAXING NORTHWESTERN INDUSTRY.

At recent meeting of the Ketchikan Re publican Club at which accounts said there were but flew persons present, platform was adopted containing among other things the following de- elaration.
 We believe that the enormous tim
 Der resources of the Territory should be
 developed. and for the benefit of the Ter
 ritory, and we therefore urge that Con
 gress and our Legislature make ample
 provision for protecting the people and
 small operators in obtaining a fair and
 square deal in the allotment of areas
 and the accessibility of outlets, both
 roads and navigation. We further urge
 that such companies persons as are
 granted concessions or leases of our tim
 Der should be held to strict account
 in the employment of cheap labor and the purchase of materials and supplies
 outside the Territory. We further be-
 leve that all leases or concessions
 should be subject to taxation by the
 Territory.

 This is queer political philosophy. Were it more than that. Alaskans could afford to smile at the antics of those who advance it. But it is more than queer. It is dangerous to the material prosperity of Alaska. Unless it's proponents squelehed at the pos unless Alaskans prove by their actions that it does not represent the public's feeling toward capital it is calculated to drive away that capital which is now turning it's attention hitherward
