MILLION IN TAXES 1895

WASHINGTON, D. c, Sept. ID
The federal government collected
$959,911 from Alaska in the 1899
fiscal year the internal revenue de-
partment has revealed.
This was about $4,000 more than

Individual incomes were the source
of the largest tax which was $780,
587, a decrease of one per cent un-
der a year ago.
Other collections were from cor
poration incomes, $187,526; an in
crease of 22.2 per cent; miscellan-
eous sources, $144,317, a decrease OF
1.3 per cent; and payroll taxes
$247481, an increase of Z per cent
Alaska's collection amounted to
.O2 per cent of the nations internal

Guns Can Be safe-Why Not Keep Them That Way?

you can control the direction of the
muzzle even if you stumble. Keep
a firm grip on the small of the
stock-you wouldn't merely balance
a stick of dynamite on your Shout
der.
5. Always be sure of your target.
If you can't be sure, don't shoot.
6. Never point a gun at anything
you do not want to shoot. Keep the
muzzle of the gun pointing away
from any part of your own body and
from any other person, especially
when loading, unloading, taking off
the safety or working the action.
7. Never leave your gun unattend-
ed for a moment, unless you un-
load it first.
8. Never climb a tree or a fence
with loaded gun. Put your gun
through or over the fence, then pick
it up from the other side.
9. Never shoot at flat, hard sur
face or the surface of the water
Richochets travel in unforeseen
direction.
10. Gunpowder and alcohol mix
into a deadly potion. If men have
to have liquor while in the hunting
field, keep them away from the
guns. Injured feelings are easier tC
repair than injured bodies.
The Wrangell sentinel., 1939-09-22

Charles Benjamin, who has been
a licensing officer at Wrangell, ever
since the Territory made provision
for hunting licenses, believes that
the danger of firearms, carelessly
handled should be brought to the
attention of the public each season.
Mr.. Benjamin is an expert marks
man. He knows that guns can be
safe and asks why not keep them
that way From the American Rifle
mems Magazine he has clipped a
list of rules which if followed would
practically eliminate firearms acct
dents with their loss of life and
crippling injuries.
The rules list follows:
1. Treat every gun with the re-
spect due a loaded gun. This is the
cardinal rule of gun safety.
2. Carry only empty guns, taken
down or with the action open, into
your automobile, camp, home and
boat. Do not load your gun until you
are actually in the field and hunt
ing-unIoad it the moment you
leave.
8. Always be sure that the barrel
and action are clear of distractions.
In heavy brush or snow open the
action and glance through the bar
rel occasionally.
4. Always carry your gun so that

PLAY FIELDS A VITAL NEED OF CHILDREN

essary to give the menfolk an &C
casional pep talk, so it Is said, but
the important thing is that the hall.
a credit to any organization, was
built.
The same could be done for the
children. If Native mothers would
decide they were going to have a
playfield with a covered playshed
for their children, close to their
homes, they would find abundant
cooperation at once from white
mothers. Then with all the mothers
of the neighborhood joining togeth-
er in a demand for a safe place for
their children to play out of doors
but protected from the rain, the men
would soon find way to get it
done If the will to do is present, the
way will quickly open up.
It is simply a matter first of the
mothers joining together in a de-
mand for a playfield and then en-
listing the aid of the men. Most of
the men would naturally be in sym
pathy with such a project, but from
the dawn of history men have rec
ognized that whether they are sym
pathetic or not, if women really
want a thing done they will fuss
about it increasingly until they get
it; so wise men give in without much
complaining when they see women
are really in earnest; and especially
where the welfare of children are
involved.
We hope to see a playfield built
first on Front street, and after that
at least in two or three other parts
of town. The school playfield is CEN
trail and is an important community
asset, but in addition children need
supplementary play lots nearer their
homes.

The Wrangell sentinel., 1939-09-22

Every town needs playfields for
its children; not one central place
alone, but several smaller fields
where children may play without
leaving their immediate neighbor-
hood.
There are more children in a
small area living near the Wyatt
Cramer store on lower Front street
than in any other part Of Wrangell.
Front street is narrow at that point
with a sharp turn into Case street,
another narrow street. Dodging in
and out of traffic in that part of
town, children are running day-long
danger of death and injury.
They seem to enjoy a special flock
of guardian angels else some of the
children long before now would have
met death under the wheels of a
car or been manned for life. This
special guardianship cannot be ex-
peeted to continue indefinitely Some
day a child is bound to be struck
down unless conditions are changed
for them.
Back from the street in that vi
cinity a playground should be built
for the children, not only for rea-
sons of safety, but to give the chill
dren an outlet for their natural
right of a place where they may hap
PLY play. And because there are so
many Native children in that vicin-
ity, it would be a fine thing for the
Native mothers to take the initiative
in such a project.
When we consider the achieve
ment of the members of the Alaska
Native Brotherhood in building their
hall at Wrangell, we know these
people can accomplish anything they
set out to do. Before the hall was
finished, the Sisterhood found it nee
