TOLBERT SCOTT
PROP OSES TAX
ON Mine CLAIMS
Represe n ia tive Believes
Elimination of Assessment
Would Promote Industry

A small tax on mining claims in
stead Of the 500 a year assessment
work is proposal the residents of
the Second Division favor and one
which Representative Tolbert Scott
Of Nome expects to introduce before
the Legislature.
Mr.. Scott, a widely known mining
man in the Second, says that the
concensus of prospectors and min
ing men in his Division is that too
often the assessment work doesn't
mean anything The claim holder
merely does some sort of work on
his property in order to retain his
rights. Too often, he said it is work
which would be useless toward ac-
tually developing his property. Thus,
many of the miners feel they would
rather pay a small tax of perhaps
500 year or Whereabouts to keep
their claims than to do assessment
work.
He believes, also, that it would
| eSAiO W SdltoC tilOoC VIII IlOlQ ldl Sc
numbers of claims to do some ac-
tual development work or relinquisll
their rights.
The Representative would turn
the proceeds of such tax into the
Territorial road fund, the money
to go toward building roads in iso-
lated areas and thus facilitate min
ing operations. The cry, Mr.. Scott
pointed out is for roads to carry on
development, and he believes his
plan would tend in that direction.
1t was a good season in the Second
Division, the Representative report
ed. All operations had good returns
and considerable new development
work was done. Several new dredges
and draglines went into the district
and operations are expected to be
increased appreciably another sea-
son. Particular activity was noted in
the Kougarok country, north of
Nome, and much is expected of that
district during the coming summer,
he reports.
Mr.. Scott, who is serving his third
term in the Territorial House of
Representatives, was accompanied to
Juneau for the session by his daugh-
ter, Miss Margaret Scott.

JOB SECURITY
PLANS URGE OF
SECY.0F
Appeals toBuild Safeguards
Against Any Further
Depression

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-"Fur-
ther and substantial gains" in the
economic welfare of the nation were
experienced in 1886, and lit seems as
if we can look forward with conf
dence" to continued progress ir
1887" Secretary Perkins said in a
formal statement.
If the great depression through
which we have passed had been q
scourge of typhus or some other
plague, We would be thinking now
about the means to make another
such scourge impossible.
so we should be exploring ano
planning in the public interest with
the end in view of forging III adj
vance every possible device of pre-
paredness and prevention against
any possible recurrence of wide
spread economic disaster and the
unemployment and suffering which
come in its wake. This, I recon-
mend, is what we as a people must
do consciously through cooperation
this year.
There should also be cooperation
during 1887 between workers and
employers in terms of honorable and
competent bargaining between the
groups of equal influence and re-
sponsibility.
There can be cooperation between
employers and workers and there
is a great desire for such coopera-
ton by both sides. But real and
effective cooperation requires terms
tof equal bargaining power which
results from organization and rec
ignition of equality between the two
parties.
| I'VE need assurance of protection
Of workers against the major haz-
ards of modern industry lack of
earning power due to accidents, due
to unemployment, and due to old age
and untimely death. These are
partially provided for in the present
Social Security Act
There ought to be a permanent
activity in the United States for the
rehabilitation of the victims of the
depression and of old-age poverty
Let us not call it relief any more
let's call it rehabilitation and re-
construction. If we had had a great
war or great earthquake, we should
cease to think in terms of relief and
begin to thing in terms of rehabili-
tation and reconstruction of the
Victims of these disasters"
