NOT so FAST!

In recent editorial entitled,
"Sitka is the Proper Place" the Ju-
neau Empire makes a decision for
the retention of the Pioneers
Home at its present site in Sitka
and the count of nine is passed
over the heads of the other towns
contending for the location of the
new home.
The Empire argues that since
the inmates of the home are perfect
ly satisfied with their lot, why
change? 1t may be a fact that the
pioneers have expressed themselves
as being satisfied in the old bar
racks at Sitka, in a petition cir
culated by the superintendent OF
the home. Still, we all know that
almost anyone will sign a petition
especially if solicited by one in au-
thority over him. But to say that
such signatures should carry any
considerable weight with build
ing commission is rather far-fetch-
ed.
No doubt Sitka has a beautiful
scenic setting but there are other
towns in Alaska with many adyan-
tages of far greater value to the
pioneer than scenery.
Juneau very generously reasons
that since Sitka has had the Pho
neers' Home for nineteen years, it
has a sort of vested interest in that
institution. Right you are, Juneau,
but that argument was not very
popular with you when you wrested
the capital from Sitka, which for
more than a quarter of century
had been the capital of the terri
tory. But scenery and vested inter

was removed from Sitka and taken

believe should have been done, but
that body vested complete power

Invitations have been sent out by
the commission to each town coun-
ell and chamber of commerce to
state what it's community had to
offer should it desire the institu-

no handicaps have been mentioned,
so that confidence is felt by the
several communities that the deci-

TAXPAYERS, CLUBS

The aversion of the average citi-
zen to paying taxes is not some
thing new in the experience of our
country. 1t is said that in the old
records at the court house in West
moreland county, Virginia, there is
notation beginning, Now, it
appeareth that George Washington
liketh not to pay his taxes George
undoubtedly thought that his taxes
were too high because no one was
ever heard to murmur because
taxes were too low, and if the
Father of This Country on occasion
fused about taxes, it is not sur
prising that his children through
the following years, also liketh
not to pay their taxes.
1t would be most unnatural, per
haps, if one liked to pay taxes but
they are a necessary experience ii
people are to live together in COM
munity groups. If it were not for
taxes, Wrangell would still be a
struggling little town on the beach
with here and there short strip
of sidewalk built at personal ex'
pense by the more enterprising
citizens. Lanterns would still be
carried at night, as they were i'll
Wrangell until a lighting system
was established in the town and
the streets lighted for the public
welfare at public expense, from a
fund created by system of taxa
ton.
No matter how unpopular taxes
may be they cannot be escaped al
together. A citizen pays indirectly
if not otherwise. Happy are the in
direct payers, for it is the direct
payments which constitute cause
for the greatest mental anguish.
A movement started some time
ago to meet the tax payment prob
lem, is gathering momentum in va
rious parts of the country. Many
plans have been advanced but the
one favored as the most practical
is modelled after the Christmas
el9he christmas savings clubs out
grew the experimental stage years
ago and the plan has reached huge
proportions in every section of the
t1sXr Tor ioo w
all the year, depositing a certain
sum in the bank each week Two
weeks before Christmas the accum-
ulated sum is available to pay for
Christmas presents. Without such
systematic saving the majority of
people find it difficult to meet the
demands of the season.
Taxpayers clubs on the same
principle are advocated. The av-
erage taxpayer finds it quite q
strain to dig up the money for
taxes in one, or even two, pay
ments. But if the amount were di-
vided into fifty parts each payment
would be small enough to be met
without difficulty.
1t is suggested that the banks
should promote such a plan, encour-
ging property owners to start saw
ing a definite weekly sum in a tax
payers club so that when taxes
become due, the funds for payment
would be in the special savings
club and Immediately available.

In the Channel Series last night both the boys and girls teams of the J. H. s. decisively whipped two game and fighting squads at Douglas. Douglas girls, having captured the championship of the Channel Series consecutively for the past five years, bowed to their ancient foes for the first time in six years, losing by a 520 score; the boys lost l5-23.
 By winning last night, making three victories in a row, the Hill- boppers sextette captured the championship of the Channel ser ies in an unimpressive manner. They held the Islander maids to a lone tally on a charity toss un- til the game was well into the sec- ond half, running their score up to 20.
 In the final stanza Elsie Lun- dell tallied two field goals for the Islanders, bringing the score to 20-5, at the close of the game.

 The first half of the boys game was a hot affair with the Grim son Bears leading the Islanders 7-2 at the quarter. In the next frame it looked like the Island CTS were going to make it mighty interesting for their opponents as Fox dropped in two long, pretty shots to bring the score at the half to 10-8 in favor of Juneau However, in the third period, the Crimson Bears strength showed itself, with Hagland, Henning and Behrends doing handy work shoot ing. The score at the three-quar- ter post stood Juneau p, Douglas 10.
 The last stanza was the same with Juneau scoring 10 points to Douglas 5, making the final score 32-15. Many violations were call ed, although the game was not rough.
