 After the rout begin, the Chinese ceased fighting and scattered to the rear, spreading out in all direc- tions. The Japanese planes, which had been occupied with Mas first line of defense near Sanchienfang, flew on to Tsitsihar, where they were reported to have dropped five bombs.
 The planes scattered leaflets over Tsitsihar, announcing they were capturing the city but assuring the residents there would be no harm to persons or property If the Jap anese troops were not molested.

THROUGH EDUCATION.

The "Clipsheet" of the Methodist Board Of Temperance, Prohibition and Public Morals is now devoting more space to a fight against alcoholic
 liquor and less to it's old crusade for the Eighteenth Amendment and it's enforcement That is recogni- tion of the manner the lines of battle over the liquor question will probably assume when obnox- ious, un-American and unenforceable Federal Pro- hbition shall be removed from the Constitution and statutes.
 The people ought not to lose sight of the fact at any time that there is no conflict between anti Prohibition and temperance. In fact, the cause of real temperance would be advanced by the repeal of the Prohibition amendment and the Volstead law It would permit a campaign in the interest of temperance in the of alcohol without load ing it with the un-Amercan proposition of regulating personal conduct by force and the awessness sur rounding the attempted enforcement of Prohibition It would result in appeals directly to individuals through education and persuasion.

 Schools in Far North

School conditions generally are good on Seward Peninsula, the AL aska Railroad district and Cordova and the Copptr River & North western Railroad area, declared w K. Keller, Commissioner of Educa- tlon, who returned here on the Ad- miral Evans after an inspec- tion trip of about 10 weeks.
 There has been a slight increase in enrolment generally and the institutions visited were in very good shape, MT. Keller said. He visited IS schools and conferred with teachers or members of the school board from two others.
 Two For First Time
 For two of the schools visited Hiana and Haycock, both on Sew ard Peninsula-it was their first official inspection by anyone from she Department of Education. It was also the first time in seven years that Commissioner of Edu- citation had visited Kotebue. Other Seward Peninsula schools inspec- ted were: Nome, Teller, Deering, Candle and Golovin.
 The increase of enrolment in schools in this district has been es- pecially marked, indicating a heal thy condition in the communities represented, MT. Keller said.
 From Nome, the Commissioner flew to Fairbanks, visiting schools there and in that district, then proceeding to other points on the Alaska Railroad between there and Seward Afterward, he inspected schools at Cordova, Mile Seven, Chitina and Mccarthy.
 Mining On Uptake
 The gold mining industry in all of the sections of the Territory visited is thriving, more properties being operated and a greater num- Der of men prospecting, MT. Keller said. The production of Seward Peninsula mines for the current season was about $1OOO0O larger than in 1880. This increase was due almost entirely to the activities of the small, independent operator.
 More people than usual are win tering in the district, according to

TERRITORIAL REVENUE.

The surest and best remedy for depleted tres ries is decreased expenditures It would be W ,r Alaskans their Legislature and other offic begin making notes methods of eiminati expenditures for things that they can do without. However the following suggestion from the Sc I'd Gateway is worthy of consideration:
 According to reports from Juneau, at the rate drafts are being made upon the Treas ury in the regular order of business the three hundred odd thousand dollars now held will be exhausted before the next ses- sion of the Legislature.
 The outlook is for a mad scramble to se- cure additional revenues for the next bi- ennium, which will naturally embrace the question of increased taxation.
 Among the resources mooted is a sales tax which is right now expressing the attention of the nation, and which has it's proponents and opponents, each with mass of sound argument.
 In the case of Alaska, it has been the custom to select the most shining light for the tax target which is urban business and big industries. No one seems ever to have considered a more equitable distribution of the burden and it's possible effect upon in creased revenues. There are thousands of men morally obligated to contribute who never pay one cent, yet who receive every benefit derived from public expenditure and every protection accorded by organized gov- ernment.
 If this new field could be surveyed and each person called upon to contribute just share it is safe to predict that there would be no need for increase in rates.
 Every year thousands of men come into the Territory, enjoy its revenue and depart without even paying poll tax. Again there are an equal number who, located outside the towns, and having assessable property coming well within the scope of fair taxa tion who do not contribute. If these sources could be reached, the burden would be softened for business and nobody would be hurt.
 In the meantime. what would be wrong about creating conscience fund" whereby every man who appreciated his obligation to government would, if overlooked by the tax gatherer, appraise his property and voluntarily contribute his mite to the Treas ury?

The Tariff and the Budget.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)

The tariff is considered usually in relation to its effect on foreign trade, and while the ruinous effect of prohbitive tariff on our foreign mar kets is the main argument against such absurdly high duties, there is a direct relation of tariff rates to Federal income which is worth atten- tion than it has had
 Before the war, about A per cent. of Federal receipts were from customs revenue and since the war duties on imports have accounted for only Is per cent. of total receipts, in 193l only 12.5 per cent. The decline of customs revenue as source of Federal funds is due in part to the vast growth of Federal costs, made up through income taxation, and in part to increase of duties This latter is worth Investigating in detail The average rate of duty collected on imports in 1929 and early in 1930 was approximately 40 per cent. Under the Hawley- -Smoot tariff the age duty has been over 50 per cent. Instead of producing larger revenue this prohbitive rate keeps out foreign goods, and lowers the revenue derived from customs This is made apparent in the ratio of dutiabe imports to all imports, which has de- creased abruptly with the high rates of the Hawey Shoot Act.
 | We are obliged to conclude that the unpra- cedened high rates of present tariff are harm- full in two distinct ways. First, they make diffi- cult for foreign nations to pay their debts to us and thus reduce export trade Second, they lower customs revenues and make higher taxa tion through other necessary, in order to balance the budget Our tariff folly in 1880 is directly responsible for part of the new burden of taxes to be heaped on shoulders in 1882.
