EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES WILL
 PROMOTE PROSPERITY ALASKA

Future prosperity of Alaska is be- ing promoted by the growing un- derstanding of true conditions in the Territory. according to Foster L. Nc Govern. Manager of the Alaska De partment of the Seattle Chamber Cf Commerce. Residents of the United States are learning the truth abou. Alaska as d result of educational ac- tiyities by a variety of agencies.
 aThe future of the Territory is dependent upon a proper under standing of the true nature of the country by the people of the United States McGoveru declared in re- cent interview. Because of the inn mense size of Alaska both settlers and capital from the outside are needed to properly develop the Ter ritory.
 A bright future is now being built. Information concerning Alas ka is spreading in the States The scenic beauties of the territory, and it's opportunities are being publ cized Tourist agencies, steamship companies, and national magazines are spending larger sums and deyot- ing more space each year to attract travellers 70 Alaska Many of these travellers will return to settle Tie Federal Goyrument is assisting ia building permanent colonies in the Territory which in time will make Alaska largely self-supporting from an agricultural viewpoint
 "Other agencies too are telling the real story of Alaska in a manner that is certain to interest more out siders in Alaska "MeGoyern "ontiu- ued. aThe American Can Company in cooperation with the Canned Sai- mon Industry is showing a motion picture of the Territory in schools and to other groups throughout the United States. A large part of this picture is devoted to shots of the un- equalled scenery of Alaska, and it's fertile valleys. Illustrating the agri- cultural opportunities. The educa- tional advertising and publicity ac- tiyities of the Canned Salmon In- dustry in the States also is adding to the public enlightenment con corning the Territory.
 "The facts concerning the nature of the Territory. it's tremendous eX- panse. and great variety of climate and resources. are being brought to the attention of people outside. The time is fast approaching when the mental picture aroused in the mind of the average U. s. citizen by ttEe word Alaska will not be one Df snow sleds and dog teams only, but will also include the vast resources of the Territory. Her great fisheries. the source of the larger part of the worlds supply of Canned Salmon as well as other food fish, her valuable timber lands. and her rich and his toric mining resource will be more widely appreciated. With the true understanding, not only of the value of the country's northern outpost, but of it's real attractions as a place to live and seek broader opportunity, more people will come to the Terri tory. New industries will be devel- oped. New outlets for the labor of the residents of Alaska will be found and thriving, permanent communi- ties develop"

GROSS MINING TAX
{ lAlaska Daily Press

lAlaska Daily Press
 Yesterday in the House of Rep resentatfyes was held public hear ing on a bill brought in for the pur- pose of levying a gross tax on gold mines.
 To the people of all Alaska this is the most far reaching piece of legis- lation that has ever been proposed in this Territory, and if it is enact ed it will, in our opinion, do more 10 retard the development of the coun- try than any other one thing.
 The sponsors of this legislation argue that since more money is need ed to run the Territory, there must be higher taxes; that since fisheries are already taxed about to the limit the mines must bear the increased burden. Let Us analyze this.
 Why is so much more money re- quired? Why not use a little dis creation and first make an attempt al reduction of unneccessarv and useless expenditures We are told that the Board of Education propos- ed a program which would cut more than $100.900 from amounts recon mended by the budget committee for schools alone; and this could be done without working any hardship on anyone We are convinced. Would it not be well to first carry out that boards proposals and then go to all the other boards, bureaus and spend- ing agencies and demand that they accommodate their requirements to the revenues? If this were done we believe that little more revenue would be required than was avail able during the last biennium. If slightly more revenue should he needed, after we come down to earth, then an increase might le- ultimately be made in taxes. This should be done, however. only if ab- solutely necessary.
 If a slight increase appears ne cessary. we concede that the fisher ies, in all fairness. probably should bear no part of it.
 But if there must ba increased mining taxes, they should be levied on the net profits and not on the gross. The arguments made in the public hearing yesterday were sui ficient to prove this 10 the satisfac- ton of any thinking and fair mind- ed person.
 A tax on gross production at time when mining development is just beginning is preposterous. What the Territory needs is new capital for mining. It needs to attract men like Mr. Trites, who spent in this community last year about $75.OO0 on the Kensington mine which he hopes to develop into another Alaska Juneau with capital investment of S3,OOO,000 and employment for 1000 men with a payroll upwards of S150,000 monthly.
 The Territory needs properties opened up like the rst-Chichagof Company, which struggled on for 20 years with a capital of a million dollars invested, and although in- curing a debt of $40O,0O0 finally came into a production which has now placed it in third place as al tax payer among the Territory'sI mines The testimony yesterday showed that this company had paidI out $1,0O0,0O0 in wages before itI began to balance it's accounts and get out of the red
 The Territory needs properties like the Chichagof Company which.
