TAXATION WOT THE ISSUE
The effort of the supporters of the
Labor ticket to make the question of
taxation an issue in the municipal cam
paign is inconsistent and far fetched.
The Labor convention endorsed two
members of the old coudciI and selected
as a member of iu centra! and platform
committees a former city assessor. It
can be added in tnis connection, too,
that the valuation of the railroad prop
erty for the purp ses of taxation has
been raised since it wss assessed by the
Labor party central committeeman and
platform maker and the valuation of
the otner property in the city has t>een
reduced.
The fact of tbe matter i? there has
been a very crude effort on the part of
a few people to manufacture an issue
for the purpose of getting votes to
serve Chris Shea's ambition to get on
the council, i .ast year. Mr. Shea and
his associates attempted to make a
place among tbe city fathers for the
Pack Train proprietor by supporting
the railroad employees onCUisenstioket
He failed, so this year be has tried an
other tack That is all there is to this
pretended issue on tbe question of tax
ation.
A WELL FATTENED HEAD
A Taoana paper refers to the 'Well
Fattened Head of Go*. Hoggatt," and,
a? if in justification of the words,
straightway comes a Washington 'dis
patch appearing in the Juneau Record
Miner. saying:
"The governor [Hogga'.tj
wa& asked whether he had j
changed, his mind regarding the ad
visability of witbholding the
granting of a territorial form of gov
ruent from the district, he declared J
emphatically that he had not, saying |
that the per capita expense would be
too large, and would continue to be {too
large far some years to come, adding
that when the population of Alaska
was many times doubled would be
time enough to consider the question of
territorial government."
No one but a "fat-head" would use
such arguments ?l as those advanced
in the foregoing dispatch, expecting
them t lem to have weight with think
.ng men. The "Too large'' per capita
tax and the need of a "many times
douoled" population .' Fiddlesticks ! !
Kastern papers say that the admin
istration has undoubtedly decided upon
Secretary Taft as President Roosevelt's
successor. It is claimed that Gov.
Deneen has definitely promised to iead
the tight for Taft in Illinois. Kimer
Dover, secretary of the republican
national committee will ihave charge
of the battle in Ohio in particular and
in the nation at large in general
Je?se Grant, son oi the great general,
is an aspirant for the democratic presi
dential nomination. He thinks Bryan
is not available, though wherein he is
more so, himself, is nst set forth.
Bryan's record has been conservative
wbea compared to that of Jesa*. The
latter was a very strong populist 10
years auu.
A pacer and quartz district
resembling iu a!! particulars that of
(Joldiielus, Xev., haa been discovered
io Arizona. Development work has
discioaed so it is claimed, that the new
district is fully as rich as that which
has brought fame back to the old Silver
state and bids fair to permit it to
change its aamt to the "Gold State."
The Daily Alaskan's invitation to
those who desire to communicate with
the public concerning the issue* of the
municipal campaign is still good.

FORMER SKA6WAYAN
STARTS NEW PAPER
The Tanaca Miners' Record is tbe
latest paper to make its appearance ?t
Fairbanks. It is a weekly, published
by George M. Arbukle, at one time a
Sksgwayan and in tbe early days con
nected with tbe Bennett Sun at Lake
Bennett, and >xUted by William H.
Raymond, one cf tbe best known Alas
kan newspaper editors.
The Miners' Record announces its
purposes, etc., io these clear cut state
ments: "To tell tbe bald and unsenti
mental truth, we are here for the same
reason that all of the rest of you are
here? to get the money, and we figure
that we can get it by delivering to you
your money's worth of newspaper.
* ? * We are going to give
the greater part of our news columns
to that poor devil, the miner, and to
those persons and enterprises which
are dependent upon, or related to him.
"Our editorial and political policy
are absolutely indepent. We are under
obligation to no corporation, or to any
individual. The Record is our own and
no one shares in ownership.
"We have no persona! ambitions
other than to matte this paper pay.
We have no personal grudges to satisfy.
So far as we know, we have no enemies
If we have, they can go bang.
"These truths being held in consider
ation it is not vain boasting when we
say that we can. and shall, handle the
legitimate news of Fairbanks and the
district with no other reservation than
decency require, and with no other in
spiration than is to be found in the
printable facts that present them
selves.''
SITKA NOT
MOURNING
Accoiding to the Sitka Alaskan that
town is not mounrning ovor the loss of
the capital of Alaska and would not
have it back if she could she get i'.
The Sitka paper says: "So tar we have
noticed no 'weeps' amongst our peoplf
concerning this removal, nor do we
hear any prayers muttered for a re
newal of the old relationship. "
