vance their interests and consequently the interests of the Territory.
 It with this thought in mind and a mandate from the residents of Alaska, that Delegate Dimond introduced in Congress bill aimed to bring about development along the lines that the Legislators are seeking That is the to permit the Ter rtory to bond itself up two million and thus re- ceive from the Federal government sum up to 45 per cent of the amount to aid in carrying forward development program.
 resolution aimed to support the Dimond bill was introduced in the Territorial Senate earlier in the present session but it into difficulties pri- marily due to the point that some of the Senators for Now a memorial has been brought out in the House with like purpose but it goes further and sug- gests that 30 per cent of the money raised be used for airfields 40 per cent for roads, highways and trails and 30 per cent for public institutions such Ias hospitals and the like.
 As reflected in the scores of requests for road and airfeld development school buildings and hospitals presented in the Legislature it is evident as pointed out before what the voters of Alaska desire and what they want their representatives in the Legislature and
 their Delegate in Congress to try and get for them.
 Delegate Dimond is needing the mandate of the people Whether the members of the Legislature are going to heed voice of the voters who elected them remains to be seen Legislators have been known to forget the folks at home when they get down into the halls of the Legislature However, it is belief that the present Legislature is not absent minded.

Depreciation Allow ances
 That Are Taken Into
 Annual Statement

The amount to be recovered by depreciation is the cost of the prop Ierty, if acquired by purchase after February 28, 1913. If acquired by purchase prior to that date, the ba- sis is the cost of the property, less depreciation sustained prior to March 1, 1913, or the value on March l, 1913, whichever is greater.
 The proper allowance for depre- ciation is that amount which should be set aside for the taxable year in accordance with reason ably consistent plan not neces- sarily uniform rate), whereby the aggregate amount so set aside, plus the salvage value, will at the end of the useful life of the property equal the cost or other basis of the property.
 The depreciation rate of build ing is not based upon the number of years it will stand before being condemned and razed, but on the number of years it will remain in- habitable or serviceable for the pur- pose for which constructed.
 If the taxpayer builds a new building, the period over which de- preciation may be claimed begins at the time the building is complet-

Too Much Relief
Cincinnati Enquirer)

Amos G. Warner, at time professor Of eco- monies and social service at Leland Stanford, wrote in his monumental American Charities There tendency to claim public relief as right and for the ndolent and incapable to throw themselves upon it."
 This was written in 1908 We had not then the experience of the years of the depression Those years were marked by unemployment on scale never before experienced unemployment universal that it amounted to national disaster No flood no con- flagration, no drought calamity, which we had suffered in all our history, tenth as terrible as this blight of unemployment. Against 1t the wage earner was helpless The of the nation required to extend relief to keep our people fed clothed and housed until the dark shadow of depres- lifted from America and the sun of prosperity broke through the clouds.
 The sun shines again, but the question of relief is still vital As Professor Warner says, there are many now who demand it right. In New York people on relief have struck for larger dole They feel they have an inherent right to be supported at public expense and they have the strange delusion that they the recipients of the national bounty shall decide how much is to be given them. This was the spirit of the mob in Athens when it taxed the city to exhaustion for it's benefit
 Of course America will that no one starves, but it will also see that when there is work to do the man who will not work shall be cut off from relief. is out of the question that the necessity for such gigantic giving of aims prevailed in the depres- sion years shall continue We have begun to create a class of dependents. That inevitable. It IS an unfortunate consequence of handed charity But these dependents must not be permitted to so increase as to be a weight about our necks.

THEY HAVE WHAT IT TAKES

No finer example of cool courage to carry forward in the face of grim disaster can be found than in the City of Douglas following the fire of Tuesday morning With homes, business property, their life savings in some instances, gone the people of the neighboring city of Douglas are not abashed. With determination and set purpose the firesricken resi- dents going about the business of rehabiitatng their town; to again build bustling little city on the shores of Castineau Channel Persons of lesser courage shorter vision might have deserted the ruins to cast their lot elsewhere But the people of Douglas not of that caliber They have as the adage goes, what it takes
 The words of William o. Johnson Commander of the American Legion, expressed the situation apy
 We found that the Douglasites were pretty well able to take of themselves he said in comment ing the Legion's part in helping out the emer- gency.
 That is the kind of spirit which will see Douglas rise anew from the ashes of Tuesday, It is the sort of courage which rallies instantly to their aid the full forces of their neghbors friends and the whole of Alaska
 It is calm demonstration of pluck the kind that pushes the Territorial Legislature into extraordinary action appropriate $5OO0 help the stricken city almost before the embers cold; that sends Dele gate Dmond post haste to the PWA with request for $25OOO help carry on that leads to the Legislature setting aside $4ooo0 for Douglas school building
 The fact is that Mayor Goetz Guy Smith, Fred Gallwas, George Fleek L. w. Kilburn Joe Reid and the rest of those residents of Douglas do not know the word defeat They have that undeniabe courage which surmounts obstacles matter how dsas- trouS those obstacles may appear at the moment.
 Alaska built courage and hardship; she will go forward to greater things because her people are equipped with an ample supply of intestinal for titude; the kind if you please, that the citizens of Douglas are demonstrating quietly but handsomely, right now in their hour of travail

 Adverse planetary influences to- day interfere with benefic aspects and for that reason many uncer- tainties may be recognized under this planetary government.
 Through the day there is likely to be apprehension and feeling that impending changes are back of even the most fortunate events
 While business affairs should prosper and residents of the Unit ed States should benefit greatly there may be much apprehension regarding world affairs and the general trend of human activities
 It is well to push all constructive enterprises with supreme energy, for amazing events soon to come will loom large in history
 Builders, engineers, civic plan ners and state leaders should press work on all public projects with the greatest possible speed. Nation u attention is to be diverted later to international needs.
 Late Spring weather is prognos- ticated and New England may ex- perience severe and protracted cold. New York City is to suffer from urgent need among the poor.
 Extremes in riches and poverty will present serious problems among the American people where unrest and discontent will carry serious portent.
 This is a favorable date for hos pitalities and seems to foreshadow memorable entertainments of a semi-public or official character which will be of potential value to those interested
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of fair prosperity, but for many confusion may affect business or professional plans. Much work and varied in tereSts are indicated.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be strongly individual and many should be exceedingly tal- ented Subjects of this sign usually have great initiative and with ex- traordinary energy they accomplish much.

ed and capable of being used. Build ings under construction are not subject to depreciation allow ance.
 If it is clearly shown that, be- cause of economic or other condi- tions, property must be abandoned at a date prior to the end of it's normal useful life, so that deprec- iation deductions alone are insuf- ficient to return the cost or other basis. a reasonable deduction for obsolescence may be allowed in ad- dition to depreciation. No deduc- ton for obsolescence is permitted because, in the opinion of the tax payer, the property may become obsolete at some future date.

 President Wilson appealed per- sonally to a joint session of Con- gress and asked permission to arm American merchantmen: to es- tablish armed neutrality and for a full and immediate assurance that he may exercise such authority as he deems necessary in handling the lGerman-American situation. i G.

because low priced labor permitted it to be sold under the cost of pro- duction in Alaska.
 Prefacing his historical remarks with the statement that frequently he had been referred to by his friends as a student of Alaskan history, MT Shiels said he would try to somewhat vindicate these statements by a few historical ref erences.
 Historical References
 The first civil government in Alaska was established in 1868 with Mayor, Chief of Police, Fire Chief and common council at Sitka. How ever as the Territory was then still under military rule, it did not last long.
 w. H. Seward, secretary of State when Alaska was purchased later visited the Territory, and according to MT. Shiels his promises for help in development, his enthusiasm was great, and so profuse that the speaker believed many other sub sequent statesmen who have said flattering things about the Terri tory must have read and re-hearsed his remarks.
 Would Take away Support
 Others were not so enthusiastic, among them Henry w. Elliot who consistently fought the govern ment's fisheries policies in refer ence particularly to the Pribilof seals. In addition Elliot both ver- bally and in print advocated giving up all support of Alaska, saying it had no mining or business poSsi- bilities, and was only good for sportsmen and scientists.
 Among the several humorous his- torical incidents MT. Shiels referred to was bill that passed the House il. Washington, D. O., to make AL aska a county of the Territory of Washington. It failed in the Senate however.
 MT. Shiels' remarks were accorded warm applause and numerous mem bers expressed the wish, after the meeting that time had permitted them to hear more of the many in- cidents through which Alaska has struggled to it's present position, and with which the speaker seemed so familiar fss 's

pastes of various brands which were in turn re-shipped to the United States and sold at high pric- es. MT. Shiels told his audience that from 65 percent to 90 percent of these pastes were pink salmon, fla vored and put out in small expen- sive packages as luxury spreads, permissible under the food laws of Great Britain.
 Fish Like Salmon
 California sardines are put up in cans with a picture of a fish looking like salmon on them. the speaker said, and in foreign markets or markets where few people can read English, these pass for salmon. Also in the very cheap markets the cans are opened and the sardines sold for so much apiece. These various activities have severely injured the pink salmon market, however, MT. Shiels said that this year s500000 in national advertising will be spent by the canners and that it is hoped to gain new markets for pink sal- mon, and again bring the demand and price for them back where they belong.
 Support of the memorial intro duced in the Territorial Legislature advocating increased duties on sal- mon and other fish would greatly help, MT. Shiels said, as in foreign countries packs were put up cheaper because of prevailing low wages
 As an example, the speaker said that now 60 percent of the salt herr ing used in the United States is imported from Russia and Norway,
