TIME FOR ACTION
Of vital importance to each ami
every person residing in Seward,
points out the editor of the Seward
Gateway, is one item contained in
the annua] federal budget whicn
President Harding presented to con
gress—$50,000 for the maintenance
of steamboat lines o.i tha Yukon r;
ver to act in conjunction with the
Alaska railroad.
It needs no prophet to forecast
the good which will result from the
use of this money, if it is allowed
to all of the towns and ineidently
to other minor places of attraction.
This summer the Alaskan Engin
eering Commission took over the
steamers General Davjs and General
Jacobs from the army transportation
service of the interior, with the
probable intention of the tourist
trade; the budget items strengthens
that belief.
With this in view it. behooves the
commercial bodies of Seward Anch
orage, Xenana and Fairbanks to act
in conjunction and inaugurate a
campaign of publicity for the year
1923 insofar as the attention of the
touring public can be drawn.
The season just passed has fully
demonstrated that no aid for attrac
ting tourists can be expected or re
ceived from tr.e transportation com
panies operating on the upper roach
es of the Yukon river and it is up 1
to the people of Alaska to step for-!
ward and commence publicity work'
for the coming year. Many thou-j
. sands of people have hecome imbued 1
with the idea of “See America’
First” and lack on’v the means of
ascertaining where to go in order
to map out their pl-ns for next
year.
A br^r.d scale of publicity is advo
cated: mete circulars will not fill
the purpose, although they in a mea
sure contribute to publicity of a
broader nature, -oirotting that will
excite more than passing attention,

class to come north stad so place

Too much has been left to the
public themselves. A child must be
taught before it can read—so must
the public be shown what they may
expeet.#>n a tour of this country.
The time for action has come.
All commercial bodies mentioned
should get in touch with each other
and at or.ce plan for thecoming
year, acting in concert, and bearing
the expense in proportion. Conduct
the campaign through syndicated
articles in Outside papers and be in
a position to reap from their efforts
as well as that of the administra
tion.
Don't let “George Do It" but do
it yourself—do it now!
Preliminary steps for the organi

in keeping books of record as to

i Speaking of the right of revenue
officers to inspect such books of
account or records when taxpayers
are called upon to produce the
same, he said :
i
‘‘Every taxpayer carrying on the

business of growing and selling pro

pose of determing the amount of
