THURSDAY, MARCH 16, 1916.
In a summary of the work of
the otnce of chief counsel for the
territory in the matter of the col
lection of re\enues, just received
Attorney J. H. Cobb, chief coun
sel, stacca mat bacK taxes in the
first and third divisions have been
nearly cleared up and there are
omy a few against whom suits
win have to be brought in tnose
'.wo divisions but, in the second
and fourth divisions, the situa
tion is umerent Here, the chief
counsel complains that, although
the “laundries, telephone com
panies, attorneys, doctors and au
tomobiles have done fairly well
in the matter of returns and pay
ments, “but very few payments,
or even returns, have been made
by the mining industry. Many
operators, he savs, who are
known to have made large profits
have so far not only failed to pay
their taxes, "but have also ignor
ed all letters sent from this office
demanding a compliances with
the law.” The report then plain
tively remarks: "In some sections
there appears to be an impres
sion that the laws passed by the
people of Alaska through their
legislature are mere jokes and
that they can be safely ignored.
Steps will shortly be taken to cor
rect this view.” Just so, and we
submit that it is high time that
“steps” were taken. Indeed, it
is to be wondered at that steps*
have not been taken before, this,
unless the law is really the “joke”
that the honorable chief counsel
admits some people thing it is.
The laundries have come through
very nicely, also the telephone
companies and doctors and law
vers, but the biggest, most lucra
tive and most vital industry of
the country has not paid but a
"very few payments’ ’ and has,
further, ignored completely the
demands of the territory that
they shall pay their just taxes,
just the same as the hard work
ing laundryman. in fact it truly
appears that the chief counsel al
lows his office to be held by the
mining operators of the second
and fourth divisions almost as
cheap as they apparently hold the
laws. Indeed, it appears that the
chief counsel might just as well
have included his own office along
with the laws viewed as “mere
jokes.” With all deference to the
good intentions of the amiable
attorney we would like to know
why he has allowed the operate.
to "ignore” not only their taxes
but also his demanu as tne leg U
representative of the common
wealth, that they shall pay what
the law justly requires.
Why does the chief counsel of
the territory sit calmly by and al
low the law, and also .his com
munications, tj be laughed at by
the people who, as the exploiters
of the chief industry of the coun
try, are by all odds entitled to pay
the largest share of the territorial
revenues? With some men in the
office of territorial counsel, the
men who are draining the coun
try of its chief wealth and giving
practically nothing in return tor
the privilege, would be brought
up with a round turn and taught
that the laws as well as the com
munications of the chief legal of
ficer of the territory were any
thing but jokes Mr. Cobb sub
mits that it has been the policy
of the territorial offices to admin
ister the law "in a spirit of
fairness and liberality" but it
seems to us to be stretching lib
erality to a fine point of atten
uation when he allows both the
law and the spirit of fairness dis
played by the officials to be
mocked and set aside. Mr. C '75
has done some excellent work
in the interest of the territory
and is deserving of all credit
therefore but we submit that he
would have made his report ap
pear a much more creditable do
cument had there been inserted
an item stating that steps have
been taken to force those who had
ignored the law and the demands
of the chief counsel, made in a
“spirit of fairness and liberality
to come to immediate terms, if
for no other reason than to *et
them know that the law of the
land and the communications of
the chief legal officer of the ter
ritory may not be ignored with
impunity.
GERMAN SNIPERS.
Sniping among the Germans is
a fine art, and those detailed to
do this work are almost diaboli
cally clever in their methods oi
concealment. They decorate
themselves with the foliage of
trees, darken their faces and
hands, or splash their uniforms
with oil or dirt, so that standing
under the speckled shadow of a
tree they look like part of the
scenery. They are very careful,
too, not to give themselves away
by the direction of their shots.
The sniper never shoots
straigth before him, but always
in a slanting direction and not
fairly long distance to the right
or left so that he need not look
over the object which obscures
There’s one rubber boot

HIPRESS
Whit© Boot
‘With the Roe-Lino 'round the Top”
You know that when a boot comes in and
simply sweeps the whole country like
“HIPRESS” has done, it’s GOT to be
SOMETHING UNUSUAL
White Goodrich “ITII'RESS” Boots actually wear
longer than iron or steel! You don’t have to half
gple them with leather—they far outwear hobJ *
nailed leather soles. reason for this unusual service Is that f
“HIPRESS” are constructed by an entirely new process—fifty years j
ahead of the old.
Made of the same tough rubber that goes Into Goodrich Auto Tires—welded I
together under enormous pressure INTO ONE SOLID PIECE!
Nothing to come apart—they can't leak, peel, crack or split! They’re comfort
able, too— aiiaiM-d to the foot while it’s working. We promise that once you start
wearing White ‘'HIPRESS” you'll never be satisfied with anything else. And
remember—it lias a Rod-Hue 'round the Top.
