COBWEB ECONOMISTS
Some of the publicists who are al
ways worrying about this country.'
says the Providence Tribune, are
now predicting that the United
State? will soon lose its place as
the melting pot of nations. They see
the tide of immigration flowing from
Europe hereafter to South \merican
countries, and the immigration ex
pert of the Cieceland Trust Com
pany says that “Russ.a of the future
will stand in the same relation to'
the European immigrant as the
United States in the last century--”
One reason given why ’.h» United
States is to be passed up is the
European peasant's dislike of pro
hibition and the other is said to be
the “craving for open-air landed.
life1 in preference to the congested
tenements and mill life of the Unit
ed States. For these reasons. South
America, Siberia and even Australia
will be preferred, say these students
of the trend of foreign immigra
tion. But they offer no proof and ;
they cannot—at least, not such as
would pass scrutiny in any well in
formed place.
Immigrants who want to leave
their homes will in very rare in
stances will be deterred even by
well-enforced prohibition laws. That
is about the last thing that would
be in the serious thought of a man
determined to cross the ocean for
a new home. His mind will be whol-.
3v on the fact as To whether he can
better his life and he will measure
future possibilities by his present
condition. To such ►nen there will
be no haven to compare with the
United States. He will come to a.
land of plenty, with one-third of the !
wealth of the civilized globe, and
:oday only in the youth of its devel
jpment. Its industrial conditions
may not be perfect, but compared
with anything else he will find on
the globe, he will have no second
choice.
High as our taxes are at the
moment we are today the most
lightly taxed people in the world.
Our war debt will be retired in
twenty-five years at the present
rate of reduction, except what will
remain over for pensions. Our
wealth grows faster than Great
Britain. Italy. France and Germany
combined and as it does, the ratio
of taxation will decrease when pres,
ent immediate obligations are met.
There will be no nation that can
offer the same safety to the immi
grant who desires to work.
The man who goes to Russia will
stand to pay its war bankruptcy
and s ■ will two generations that will
follow him. He will find similar
conditions in Australia, where the
burdens of the late-, war are now
causing almost immediate stagna
tion. Erazil and Argentina, wonder
ful in their prospects of wealth, are
where the United States was fifty
years ago. They are seeking capita!
to expand and paying dearly for
what they get. Their taxes are far
higher than ours and their develop
ment faT behind.

in Fairbanks, just above the Em
press Theater, on Second Avenue,
is announced. Drop in if you want
a clean room. Fifty cents and $1

NEW DENTIST IN NENANA;
HAS OFFICES OF DR. BOWEN
The dental offices of Dr. Bower,
were re-opened this week by Dr.
D. C. Hardy, who arrived from
Seward on Sunday to locate per
manently in Interior Alaska. Dr.1
Hardy has had wide experience in
the practice of his profession and
brings to Xenana with him all the
latest approved methods of work
in his line.
Dr. Hardy spent some time at
Seward and other coast points be
fore coming to the Interior and it
is his intention to make his homo j
here.
Conditions along the coast are i
improving now. the doctor says. |
due to the commencement of act
ivities among the canneries and a'
revival of work along the Alaska
Railroad. Both Seward and Anchor
age, at the time he left the coast
had about been cleaned out of labor j
by the demand for men on railroad |
work.
Like others who have arrived re
cently, Dr. Hardy believes that the
Interior country will be visited by
many Outsiders during the coming j
summer and it is his opinion the
Territory in general will witness a
general revival of business during
the present year.
Deputy Marsha: Billy Butler ar
rived from the coast this afternoon
and upon his return to Anchorage
in the course of the ne^t few days,;
will be stationed there permanently,
in the employ of the Alaska Rail
road as a special agent.
