ABOUT TIME PUBLIC TOOK A HAND

According to authentic information from Juneau, school warrants to the amount of $53 99930 have been held up by the refusal of the Treasurer under sanction of the Governor to countersign the warrants
 Of these warrants two, aggregating $581586, have been turned down by the local bank because of the absence of the signature of the Treasurer having been issued by the Auditor under what he claims powers given un- der the act creating his office.
 Available figures show that at the time of issuance of these warrants there balance in the Treasury of S16 369 which is $4O0 O0 less than that shown on November 30 1880 This loss is largely due increased expenditures plus decreases in miscellaneous tax receipts and 20 per cent decrease in fish pack taxes
 When informed of the state of the Treasury and ap preciating it's financial condton the have sent their three months in advance of the time when they usually pay. Under this plan the Alaska Packers Association paid S8OOO0 and several small canners have paid amounts which will bring the total to approximately $10O000 This aid will permit the Territory to meet ob gatons which otherwise could not have been met with the S162,736.2 balance.
 Thus Alaska has been placed in position similar to that of Chicago whose school warrants issued but for which there money Alaska differing in that 1t has the money but for yet not explained the Treasurer and the Governor refuse to allow them to be paid.
 Under such condition but resort open to those who are entitled to this money-borrow funds the strength of the possible receipt of their due await the pleasure of these officials.
 Possibly the Treasurer and Governor can offer some satisfactory to this condition If so 1t should be forthcoming. The matter passes beyond mere differ ence of opinion between the Auditor and his federaly controlled board and becomes that of the people,
 It is to be hoped that it will not be necessary as hint ed, for someone to start legal proceedings against the Treasurer to bring the entire matter out in the open

HOSTILE PUBLIC GROWING MORE

DRY LAW, SAYS RUM REPORT

Canada and much Of this is shipped
here indirectly from email islands
off the northern coast and in the
West Indies, the commission said.
The recent Canadian export ban
on liquor to this country has not
reduced smuggling. the report in
dicated. Smuggling was said to be
increasing.
The commission reported less
diversion Of industrial alcohol than
formerly due to batter methods Of
control and development of law and
improved methods Of Illicit distilling.
Much as the situation has i'm
proved, the commission said it was
still far from satisfactory.
Under prohibition, the commits
sion discovered, there has developed
an immense lucrative industry to
supply retail bootleggers through
illicit distilling operations. Wit
nesses told of large distilling plants
managed and financed by big bust
ness methods.
Employees are given counsel in
case Of arrest, their families are
cared for, their fines paid, and they
are re-employed upon release.
Immense profits are being derived
from illicit beer, which was found
to be in many places the mainstay
of racketeering gangs and corrupt
political organizations.
The commissions investigators
said brewing of beer is increasing
rapidly due to the demand in the
larger cities.
Home production of liquor was
said to have declined recently be-
cause Of the lowered prices of the
bootleg product.
