visions, returns and payments have
teen fairly well made from Laund
ries, Telephone Companies, Attor
neys, Doctors, and Automobiles,
But very few payments, or even
returns, have been made by the
mining industry. Many operators
who are known to have made large
profits, have so far not only failed
to pay their taxes, but have ignor
ed all letters sent from this office
demanding a compliance with the
law.
It has so far been the policy
of the Territorial Officers to ad
minister the law in a spirit of fair
ness and liberality. All who in
good faith desired to test the law
were given the opportunity to do
so, without being penalized, and
those who desired to settle their
debts to the Territory were allowed
to do so, by paying the amount of
::os ar.d accrued interest. The
policy of fairness to all will be
continued. But it is intended to
exact penalties hereafter from all
those who have persistently ignor
ed the law and refused a compli
ance with its provisions.
In some sections there appears
to be an impresion that the laws
passed by the people of Alaska

TTNDESTRUCTO trunks are not by any means
I for rich people alone. Don’t think that because jS;
people of means so generally use them that they ,*i
are not well within the resources of the average family, i;
Why, we believe that if the people of this city really knew how £,
much comfort and satisfaction there is in an Indestructo trunk, g
and at what really moderate prices, hardly anybody would be 22
willing to go even through this summer without an Indestructo £l
Indestructo trunks have been around the world thousands of times. £1
They have been on the most strenuous exploring expeditions, and g
have come cut unscathed. Every trunk is guaranteed for at least
five years’ perfect service. £1
Of course they are smart appearing trunks, too. Not only are £E
good, but look good. There’s some satisfaction in that. g
If you take our advice you will not postpone one day longer g
coming into our shop and letting us show you how interesting
Indestructo baggage is. £j

While with the incomplete data
now on hand no very definite
statement can be made as to the
amount of taxes still due the Ter

court of last resort the Treasury
will have a cash balance on hand
when the next legislature meets
of not less than $250,000.00. It
