CITY PUTS ON A WAGE TAX

As municipal governments seek new sources of rev. to meet pressing needs they inclined to exper ment with new taxes
 In Philadelphia, the city authorities have one per cent wage tax, which requires all workers whether dent nonresident to contribute to the support of the city
 The tax contested by worker at the Philadel- phia naval base, who lived in New Jersey AS result the worker put in jail for ten days, although finally released assurance that he would appear in court when wanted.
 We do not know whether the wage tax, levied by Philadelphia has been tested in the courts of that not The imposition of such tax however, indicates the plight of the city and it's desperate need for funds

Canadian Gold Miners Depend On Government Aid

TORONTO, (P)-Devaluation of the Canadian dollar by 10 per cent has been met with mixed feelings by the mining industry, says V. C. WanSoorough. executive director of the Canadian metal mining as sociation.
 The base metal industry, he add ed, and indeed all Canadian in- dustries that have a United States dollar market will undoubtedly benefit. However:
 Tn the case of marginal gold mines, benefits are doubtful until the government policy on contin- uing assistance to gold mines is announced. At present some mines with high production cost are re- ceiving up to SAP an ounce and higher for their gold. If assistance payments are cut off, these and all mines now receiving assistance will only receive $38.50 and it is doubtful if they will be able to continue operating.
 Assistance payments to date have been absorbed by increased labor costs. This 10 per cent in- crease in the selling price of gold will be largely absorbed by further cost-of-living bonuses paid to mine employees and by increased costs of operation caused by the rise in cost of supplies. many of which come from the United States.
 Another factor of importance

COPY OF PROPOSED LAND LAW AT NUGGET OFFICE

In a communication to the Mug get, assistant secretary of the De- partment of the Interior, William Warne reports that l2,000 acres of land were used to raise agricul- tural crops, in Alaska, which is small proportion of the possible estimated two million acres sup posed ot be suitable for cultivation and six million additional acres suitable for grazing. Ii is obvious, he states, that the land resources of Alaska have scarcely been touched, despite a homesteading policy as liberal as the present land law would allow. The present law, as all who are interested are aware, has failed in its objective, the encouragement of settlement in the Territory.
 Tt is recognized that the secur- its and economy of the United States can be and must be strengthened materially through the development and the settle ment of Alaska.
 AS means of encouraging set clement and development there has been introduced in Congress a bill known as H.R. 5880. It offers way of overcoming the major problems which prospective set tiers desiring to esttle in Alaska have faced. It provides a process for the selection of suitable lands as settlement areas, for th orderly and systematic classification and surveying of those lands and for their subdivision into tracts of ap- propriate size and shape.
 Special aids are contemplated so that settlers may be assisted dur ing the early years in connection with the clearing of land, the building of roads and docks, and the availability of needed credit. As soon as suitable settlement leg islation has been enacted, the De- partment will be in a position to initiate a program directed toward bringing new permanent residents to settle on Alaska'S lands"
 Anyone interested in the bill may read the copy now at the Nugget.
