THE COST OF IT ILGA1S
The J uuean KecorU-Miner, comment- j
ins upon the I >*ily Alaskan's support of
territorial government, says:
"In it- beat it calculates not on the
cost of such government to Alaska. It
forgets the enormous expense of county
organization, of legislative assembly,
of transportation for the legislators, of
lime consumed by the legislators in
transit, of the hundred and one in'ci
dentals that would put a crushing bur
den of laxe^ upon the taxpayers."
The Daily Alaskan has accused the
Record-Miner of bail faith in its tight
on territorial government. It might
be that there is something else wrong
with it. The foregoing paragraph
would indicate that ignoracce dense,
dark, dank ignorance? is what troubles
the Juneau tory.
I>rie?ly let us look into that "cost" of
territorial government.
In the tirst place the cost of the J
??legislative assembly, of transportation
for legislators, of time consumed by the i
legislators in transit." together wiihj
the contingent expenses, the pay of
clerks, the cost of the publication of
the laws ami the stationery consumed
by the legislature in short, every item
of expanse in connection w;-h the legis
lative sessions- in a territory is borne
by the federal government.
The salary and expenses of the gov
ernor. of the district judges, of the
secretary of a territory, the salary of
the clerks of the district courts and
other items are l>orne bv the federal
government.
Ali the cost of the federai business ir.
a territory, including every item of
expense a connection with the Indiao
and the enforcement of the laws against I
providing them with intoxicant*, is j
borne by the federal government.
So far as the county governments are |
concerned they could bt made just as |
inexpensive as]the people would have j
them. The sheriff reorder. clerk of
the county board and other officers
could be paid for work actually done.
We pay for the services such officers
would have to perform now in fees to
federal officials. There need be no
salary for a county officer at all. The
people would have to pay for just what
they want in the way of government,
and that is ail .
The writer has in mind a county ex
tending for 100 miles east and west and
having an area of -5OO square miles in
? mountainous -section of Washington
territory which had been organized 10
years before 't had 1.0 o people or an
a sessed valuation of $150,000. At no
lime in those three decades was the tax
levy for territorial, local and school
purpose over two per cent. At the end
of that '!?> years the eountv had no in
debtedness.
I f a county were organized to include
the North end of r.vnn canal, for
in-taoce. the taxes could be reduced
from the amount now payed in license
fee*, and the county would have enough
monev left to pay for more than the
people are getting ia the way of public
improvements at the present time. To
illustrate. *The White Puss pays $2,000
taxes annually on i ? mileage outside
the incorporated limits of this city,
which goe? into the federal treas.iry.
The salrw.-s o' Haines pay $2.nO0 more.
The cannerie- in the vicinity "f Kaines
pay i:.,00ti. < >tber business hou-n
pay or thereal*>uts. making
$10,000 in all. From this sum the
peopl* get a -c":ooi at Haine? with Jone
teacher, and that i- all. A county
goverum-nt. covering this |terntory.
need not cost ouc-tifth this amount.
Dr. Young will have an opponent in
the Atiin district worthy of his best
steel. Capt. John Irving is one of the
most popular men in all the West. His
chances if -uccess are t-nhaaced by the
fact that the liberal party seems very
likely to win the election in the
westermost Canadian province which
will take place February 2.
K A single trainload of ore from Gold
flr Id. Nev., to a California smeller was
valued at $7,0Cfl,000. If Alaska has to
take second place in next year's gold
production Nevada will have first place.
Colorado is very likely to be thud and
California foutth amoc? the gold pro
ducing states and territories.
former Gov. Mclnncs is proving a
tower of strength to the Uristish Col
umbian liberals in the campaign that is
now in full swing.
Kvery business man in rhe city who
can do so should attend the chamber of
commerce meeting this evening.
CAPT. JOIN
IS A CANDIDATE
Capt. John Irvinsr, who is now in the
Atlin district, will bo the. liberal candi
date for membership in the liritisb Col
umbia parliament for that riding
He is running against Or. H. K. Youn^*
the present member and conservative
candidate for re-election, Capt. Irving
represented the Atlin-Cassiar district
on the long ago, and made a very pouu
lar member. He has many friends in
the North, and if any cne can defeat
Dr. Young it is conceded that < "n|>t.
Irving is the man who can do it.
There is a general belief among ihe
people that the liberals are slated to
carry the elction which will take place
in lOdays. and it is being urged in be
half of Capt. Irving: that it were well
for Atlin to have a member who is in
sympathy with the administration.
