THE CITY ELECTION
-«
The municipal election passed off
vehy quietly yesterday, there being no
contest for the various offices to be
filled. The result is most satisfactory
and the affairs of the city for the en
suing year have bfeen entrusted to a
capable council. Mayor A. J. Adams’
re-election had upon it the stamp of
approval of his stewardship during the
past term, which, should** be most
gratifying to him. He has made a
most capable official and is now in a
position to direct the many public im
t
provements which have either been
started or are contemplated by the
council for the ensuing twelve months.
BIG FUR OUTPUT
When the entire take of sealskins
for the calendar year 1918 shall have
been dressed, dyed, machined and
sold, the net revenue to the govern
ment will be in excess of $2,500,000.
To this should be added an approxi
mate net revenue of $123,000 for the
sale of fox skins, which total will
more than pay all expenses of every
nature connected with the administra
tion of the Pribilof Islands, the Alas
ka salmon fisheries and the care of
minor fur-bearing animals of Alaska
for a period of 12 years.
[ WORK, WORK, WORK
It seems too bad that the workers
of the nation, instead of loafing on the
job like so many hoboes, do not real
ize that the high cost of living from
which they suffer is due-to the emptt
ness of the warehouses of the world,
caused by war’s destruction. If a’l
the manufactories of the world and
all its mines and farms and its other
instruments of production should be j
run at full blast for two years they
would not more than fill up the empty
bins. Moreover the world is now short
handed of workers. The war took the
men who are strongest and most fit
to produce. It has cost the world,
in workers, the equal of the entire pop
ulation of the states of New York, !
Rhode Island, Vermont and Massachu:
setts. No wonder prices are high. And j
yet the average worker is demanding
a seven or a six-hour day, and is al
ready only working about that much
-—cutting down his service by idling
on the job.
UNCLE SAM’S WAR DEBT.'
How would you like to have to pay
$212,268,000,000?
That is the amount of new govern
ment debt created by the war. Louis j
R. Gottlieb says so in his new book,;
“Financial Status of the Belligerents,”
and he knows. The per capita share
in the new obligations of the world
is $329.91. Among the Allies it is j
slightly lower than this, and in the ;
Central Powers it is much higher, |
$428.05. The annual requirements of
the debt have increased $8,217,000,000
or $12.77 per capita, making a charge
against the combined national income
eight and one-hdlf times its pre-war
proportions. Great Britain leads all
its allies and enemies in the size of
its per capita obligation. France
comes next, with New Zealand and
Italy following close behind, Germany,
however, leads in the increase in its
per capita debt, this now being
thirty-three times the pre-war figure.
The United States comes second, with
a twenty-one fold increase. The bad
showing of the United States is due
to the fact that this country had an
abnormally small debt though our
per capita is still small beside the
others, the ratio of increase is great.
Japan is the only one of the belliger
ents that came out of the war without
financial damage.
VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS
, Anyway if a revolution does start
in Alaska Seward or Anchorage will
try to grab it.—Valdez Miner.
Those who carry firearms these
days should be careful about discharg
ing them as the woods are full of can
didates, many of whom are “goats."
—Douglas News.
Will someone kindly page that bird
that wrote the poem about “The
Beautiful Snow”? Right when the
roses were ready to bloom, and every
thing. No wonder the bride for the
Bachelor Club wedding backed out.
She didn’t want to live in such a cli
mate.—Ketchikan Chronicle.
Senator Warren announced in the
United States senate the other day
that it will cost $50,000,000 a year to
keep the United States dry—or ap
proximately so. This will not, he said,
mean an appropriation for this year
and next, but for every year until the
taste of intoxicating liquor is eradi
cated from the race. It is burden
some now, and of doubtful value to
those moderates who have developed
need for the stimulent, but there is
little doubt but that future genera
tions will praise those who bore the
burden and suffered the crucifiction
of appetite and longing for old joys
and stimulents.—Juneau Empire.
The dispatches state that a south
ern editor has just built a $20,000
residence. We believe it is a lie. No
list of subscribers on earth ever
paid up that good.
