MINING THE REAL ALASKA
 INDUSTRY.

Mining is the one Alaska industry that is the home industry. In appearing before the House Ways and Means Committe yesterday, J. A. Helen thai. representing the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company well said: We have only one real honest- to-Cod Alaska industry and it is mining. In prov ing his case he cited the Alaska Juneau's own case For more than 20 years, capital stock investment of s15,oooooo it paid not one penny of interest During that period it foated securities fer additional funds and obtained other capital from it's stockholders without security aggregating more than $3OOO0O0 Only in the past two years has it begun to make an operating profit.
 Although it will be years before it be said to actually be operating profitaby, it is and has been paying so-caled net mining income taxes, which is, of course, misnomer. True these taxes are not large in themselves but MT. Hellenthal aptly pointed out its indirect contribution to the upkeep of the Territory is just vital to the Territory and far larger, than it's direct taxes. It is expending locally some $2000000 each year This money goes into wages to local residents who are taxpayers to the Territory and municipality; it goes into purchases of supplies from local merchants; it is paid out in transportation which helps to insure steamship facilities to the Territory in fact every dollar of it goes into the underwriting of Territorial prosperity.
 This part that the company is playing and has played for years was emphasized by MT Faulkner at the Chamber of Commerce Thursday Even when it's operations were conducted at deficit it was reaching out in search of other properties, pro- viding free assay service and engineering examna- tions of prospects to prospectors Today it is launching a development program, which MT Faulkner told the Chamber of Commerce, if sue cessful. in it's fruition will make Juneau the great est mining camp in the world. That claim may seem extravagant but in light of the companys past great record for achievement it is not really SO And it's realization may indeed, not be as far distant as it's magnitude might indicate
 There is other industry in the Territory that cite case to compare with mining and the Alaska Juneau. We know of which has or could, put than Sl800000O in it's operations without returning penny in interest and dividend on the investment. And which continued that policy period of almost one-quarter o a century Now that it has promise of paying a small return to it's stockholders, nothing tha

 Collection of Fee
 Operated something in the fash ion of a gasoline tax, the fee would be collected from the processer of farm commodity, who in turn would pass it onto the producer.
 When in the opinion of the beard the surplus had been remov- ed, and the commodity had risen from a world to a domestic price basis, the fee would be suspended. What the farmer lost as a result of the fee would be expected to be more than regained when, relieved of the weight of accumulated stocks, domestic markets advanced.

A Heavy Burden.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)

Cincinnati Enquirer0
 Few heads of Governments in the world have responsibilities their shoulders great as the burden the American President. In monarchical states the formal duties of the office pass to Sovereign without effective power, leaving only the work of government to a Premier In many republics as France and Germany, the President occupies a ti- tutlar role, and takes of ceremonial duties away from the actual head of the Government.
 In America all falls to the President. And under Presidential system, distinct from the Cabinet system there is evadng of responsibility when legislative support fails. The Premier of Britain Germany France, when his Parliament turns against him, resigns to some other leader. In Washington the President must carry in any circumstance.
 President Hoover has this dual burden, and in addition has encountered in his two years of office series of extraordinary difficulties Nationwide economic depression followed shortly after his in auguration Foreign affairs became grave prob lem after that, with revolution in many foreign states. Confused party lines have tended to with hold from MT Hoover the cooperation that Execu- tves normally expect
 This complex of obstacles has created a cond- ton almost unparalleled in recent history. Even the tragic responsibilities of the War President were mitigated somewhat by the fact of a united Nation and by the delegation to the President of auto cratic powers to enforce his decisions Such unani nous support today is lacking
 L President Hoover has encountered much criti- cism, both from his opponents and his own parti- sans But on one score rather bewildered Nation has remained unanimous-that the President is sin cerely and earnestly trying to pursue sound and wholesome course despite host of obstacles.
