apply to the mining industry the method of col lection has used successfully in the fisheries The bill, being revamped in the Judiciary Con- mittee, would give the Territory the power to fore close mining properties of tax dodgers.
 None of these three measures will do anything to raise or lower the present tax. The three percent provision is here to stay for two more years at any rate
 Neither does any of the three measures propose to return the Territory to net tax basis many mining operators have requested The gross gold tax is to be given further trial.
 Of course bills can still be introduced under sus- pension of the rules But no gold tax bill will enter the arena by this route Not third of the members either house let alone the twothirds required for suspension of the rules would vote to raise the bars for bill proposing do anything at all to the present gold tax law.
 So what promised at the beginning of the session to be the legislative task of the session has been accomplished by leaving well enough alone Legislators are satisfied the outcome So the people of the Territory,

WHAT ABOUT THE GOLD TAX?

The 14th Territorial Legislature is going to leave the gold tax alone.
 With the last day for introduction of bills having passed only three touching mineral taxa tion before the Legislature, in the House and two in the Senate.
 None of the three proposes to do much to the pres ent statute Senate bill by Senator Henry Roden would raise the exemption from S10000 to S25000 A House bill by Representatives Leo Rogge and Chester Spencer would raise the exemption to S20000. Both of these measures afe intended to relieve the small operator from the burden of taxation which has very great in many instances.
 The effect of these biHs of which is almost certain to pass will be to encourage prospecting and to give the little miner the incentive to go out after gold which he is afraid would not pay out under the present regulations. Thus, such measure should increase the from the gold tax The operator who runs into good thing is not going to stop pro- ducing gold when he reaches the $25,000 mark The operator whose prospect fails to live up to expectations should not be made to pay the tax.
 The third measure pending in the Legislature is 8 Senate bill by Senator Joe Holman which would put some teeth in the gross gold tax law by providing penalties for non-payment. The proposes to

Speed the Alaskan Mineral Survey!

Seattle Post-Intelligencer)
 In the years since 1880 some seven hundred seventy-six million dollars in mineral wealth has been taken out of Alaska
 This is more than one hundred times what the United States paid for the entire Territory.
 In 1888 alone the output of minerals valued at twenty-seven million dollars.
 the vast possibilities of future production are yet unrealized because large portion of the Ter ritory is not mapped.
 The United States geological survey is proceeding patiently with it's investigations with the pitifully small sum of $60,000 year.
 Numerous chambers of commerce in Alaska and the Seattle Chamber of Commerce contend that this is altogether inadequate
 We agree with them, heartily
 Alaska mining has had it's gold era and it's copper era.
 The latest development is the production of plati- and a group of associated metals.
 But there are reasons for believing that Alaskas unprospected and unmapped regions may contain minerals of even greater moment.
 In recent book Mineral Resources and Inter- national Strife published by Princeton University, the known mineral of various countries are rated upon the basis of developments in 1929 and the latest available figures
 The United States still holds its leadership but by far less convincing margin than formerly. In 1929 our mineral resources nearly five times large as Germany's. In 1886 we had little more than three times much Germany France in the intervening years actually dropped behind Germany in mineral wealth and Great Britains advantage Germany had been reduced sharply Of the other powers Japan and Soviet Russia had both forged ahead
 Mineral resources among the most important in determining the military strength and safety Of nations But safety does not rest upon quanttatve figures alone. Despite the vast present resources of the United States this country still lacks certain mn erals essential in peacetme industry doubly important in the event of
 While there is any chance of discovering such metals in the vast uncharted of Interior Alaska search should be prosecuted vigorously with much more than pifflng $60,0O0 yearly
 Both from the standpcints of industrial develop ment and of national safety Congress should provide additional funds for geological survey work.

THE PLANE REWARD

With posting of a $1 900 reward, search for the missing Marine Airways plane enters new phase
 As much as can be done by organized searching parties on land and water has been done From here on interest in the search would be to lag unless some new element entered the situation. That new element is the reward being raised by voluntary con- trbution under sponsorship of the Juneau Chamber of Commerce and the Juneau City Council.
 Principle of the rewards posting is this. Almost everyone has personal opinion hunch as to what happened to the plane The long chance of cashing in on very handsome reward will send hundreds Of individual searchers back into the trees of Glass Pen insua, Point Arden and Douglas Island, and along the many miles of beach where wreckage might appear if the plane landed in the water.
 Punches have located many long missing planes in the past Some odtimer knowing the country, is more than likely to walk right to the point of the landing and place his hand on the Marine Airways plane.
 But gasoline food shoe leather and considerable effort must be spent in any search The chance to collect S1 900 will be incentive to many men to bear these expenses There is no doubt but that the reward will spur the search
 For the sakes of the families of the six missing it is hoped that the plane will be found For in Lon Copes position tomorrow, it is hoped that the reward will be raised promptly It puts heart in a man to know that the public cares.
 Certainly the public care and will contribute generously toward the reward

RELATES FACTS
ABOUT FLORIDA

Mrs. Jean Machette Of Miami,
who left for Kansas over a year
ago after her husbands health
had been benefited at Hot Springs,
writes as follows to Rev. A. L.
Maureau, ST.:
We are having very hot wea-
Their here; it has been way over
the hundred mark all week, and
no way to cool off, although the
nights are a little cooler. The
trouble with Kansas is that you
freeze all winter, and the terrible
heat all summer there does not
seem to be any medium. 1t sure
has taught me to appreciate Flor
ida climate. ! believe I have
talked Florida so much to the
people here that they feel that
Florida must be the ideal place
in which to live.
The town of Hutchinson where
we are now, is a nice place; ra-
Their small but well kept up, and
the people are all very friendly.
as most of these mid-western
people are. They naturally think
there is no place like California,
and that Florida is still owned by
the Indians. It is really surpris-
ing how little any of them know
about Florida. and so / have a
grand time telling them all about
the wonders of Florida and what
they are missing not going there
instead of California.
In answering, the priest will
say: -All is quite true, but see
Key West, and you'n say more.

TT is increasingly difficult each
season to achieve originality in
bathing suit ensembles. AS swim
suits approach the vanishing point.
the designers find themselves re-
stricted In the material available. 1t
is not enough that the bathing suits
be fashionable and chic. They must
above al be so designed as to assure
the greatest possible freedom of mo-
ton for the arms and legs, and stay
put despite the most violent exer-
else.
The bathing beauty contests this
season promise to he riots of color.
The designers on both sides Of the
Atlantic are using arresting color
schemes In the futuristic spirit. The
same general effect will be carried
out In beach capes.
A striking novelty Of the season
Is the waterproof swim suit. It is
made of material which win shed
water and appear fresh and un-
opoiled on emerging from the surf.
