MINING INDUSTRY

This graph is a statistical record of the mineral production between 1917 and 1887: expenditures by the Territory to stimulate the industry; taxes; and the relation of these taxes to the gross value of produc- ton
 Production:
 Total production for the 20-year period was about $4300Oo,000 An nual values ranged from the peak in the wartime year of 1917, 1000, : coo, down to a low of slightly more than $10,000,000 in 1933 While there were a few upturns in the curve, the general trend from 1920 to 1888 was gradually downward.
 Expenditures:
 Territorial expenditures to aid the mining industry, while continuous since 1917, have not been uniform from year to year. The most notice able variations occurred in funds for roads, sled roads and trails This item which is the largest in the field had totaled to the end of 1886, S1,333,230.
 Expenditures of the School of Mines of the University Of Alaska, since it's inception, aggregate $67l,- 900, and is the second largest. Avia- tion fields, since 1925, have been built and maintained at a cost ot almost S2o0.000 The operation of the

FRENCH CALLED 10 NEW ACTON
 BY LAM0UREUx
Radical Socialist Maps Out His Program 10 Be Fol-
 lowed by Nation

PARIS, Dec 27.-Radical Socialist Deputy Lamoureux called upon France today to develop her colonial empire that she might increase the ! economic and military strength of the nation LamoureuX is the former Minister of Commerce. He pointed out in a tt a te m e n surveying ! Frances situation today. that French 1 alliances with Poland, the Soviet Union, Runania and Yugoslavia were the cause of much concern.
 The former minister explained that the people feared continuance of the alliances might lead to Frances becoming involved in future central and eastern European con- flicts. As a way out LamoureuX de- cleared that France should regain full freedom of action and then re- strict her activities to developing the colonial empire He stressed that the colonies would enable France to in- crease her army by about one half million men.
 Lamoureux said he believes that Frances imports of colonial products could be increased by between five and six million francs. Returning to international affairs Lamoureux de- clared that above all France should endeavor to maintain the closest possible relations with England. He stated that attempts at rapproach- ment between France and Germany and France and Italy should be con- tinued.

Department of Mines cost $l36,000
 From 1926 to 1883 financial aid to prospectors was undertaken, rep resenting an expenditure of some S55, 900. The total cost of all the several activities was $2396,O00
 Taxes:
 the mining industry show consider able variation from year to year Its curve is fairly parallel to the production curve and to it's own per centage curve.
 The general downward trend be- tween 1917 and 1892 was only inter rupted in 1920 and 1923 Beginning with 1933 there has been a steady upward trend in the amount of taxes paid by the industry which parallels that of production. Figures for 1887 show higher returns in taxes, be- cause of mounting productions and 1 increased taxation rate. The total of all taxes paid by the i industry to the Territorial treasury during the period 1917-1936 inclu- sive was $1 ,927 ,359, which equals 40 percent of the gross production value.
 Result of new tax evidenced:
 In 1887 the Legislature amended the mining tax schedules by impos- tng 3 percent levy on certain min erals (with a $1o,000 exenlption) in- cluding geld and platinum. This new rate applied on the production fol the last six months of 1887.
 Its effect on the ratio of revenue to production is markedly reflected 3Il the graph. The taxes shown for 1887 cover the 1887 production. The total fell just short of $500000, col lected to August, with some delin- quencies outstanding; it represents 180 percent of the years gross pro- duction.
 This also raised the average for the entire period depicted by the graph to Al percent.
