For more than 20 years, on a capital stock nt of $15,000,000 it paid not one penny of During that period it floated recurities funds and obtained other capital holders without security aggregating $3,000,000.

True these taxes are not large in themselves, but as Mr. Hellenthal ¥ d out indirect contribution to the the Territory is just as vital to the far larger, than its direct taxes. It is expending locally some $2,000,000 each year. This money goes into wages to local residents who are vers to the Territory and municipality; it goes | into purchases of supplies from local merchants; it is paid out in transportation which helps to| insure steamship factilities to the Territory; in fact, every dollar of it goes into the underwriting of Territorial prosperity This ps that the company is playing and has played for years was emphasized by Mr. Faulkner Chambey of Commerce Thursday.

CONSCIENTIOUS PUBLIC SERVANT DIES. E. G. Wetzler, for many years attached io the Railway Mail Service of the United States in was a conscientious public servant. if not more, about the this Territory, He probably knew as much, |needs of Alaska for mail service as any other { Government official. He was a close student of| the Territ 's development, taking care to keep abreast of t times so that his department would be fully informed on future necessities as well as| present demands. In his long years of residence | in the North he had come to love it as his real home, and so regarded it. Tll-health had dogged his activities for several years but it did not interfere with the performance of his duties. He earnestly endeavored at all times to promote effi- ciency in his department to the end that it would effectively perform its services to the people of the Territory. He was faithful to his employee, the Jovernment, and to the public. No one can ask more from those who act as public servants. A Legislator, possibly in a moment of unexpected | levity, has suggested that the salaries of public officials be taxed. This would seem to be a sort| |of double .taxation inasmuch as they are already subject to levies for campaign purposes. | Grudgingly, fana Prohibition organizations are | conceding the right of people to have liquor in their | homes for their use. It took them a long (time to find out what everyone else has known for several years. own A Heavy Burden. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) Few heads of Governments in the world have responsibilities on their shoulders as great as the burden on the American President. In monarchical states the formal duties of the affice pass toa Sovereign without effective power, leaving only the work of | government to a Premier. In many republics, as France and Germany, the President occupies a ti- tutlar role, and takes a measure of ceremonial duties away from the actual head of the Government. In America all falls to the President. And under our Presidential system, as distinct from the Cabinet ystem, there is no evading of responsibility when | lmm.anve support fails. The Premier of Britain| or Germany or France, when his Parliament turns against him, resigns to some other leader. In Washington the President must carry on in any‘ circumstance. President Hoover has this dual burden, and in addition has encountered in his two years of office a series of extraordinary difficulties. Nauon-wxde‘ economic depression followed shortly after his in-| auguration. Foreign affairs became a grave prob- lem soon after that, with revolution in many foreign | states. Confused party lines have tended to with- hbld from Mr. Hoover the cooperation that Execn-| tives normally can expect.
