MASS MEETING PROTESTS ANY
CHANGE IN TERRITORIAL TAXES
1
The mass meeting called last even
ing for the purpose of discussing (he
proposed legislative enactment im
posing a territorial tax on incorporated
towns, resulted in a decided protest
against any change in the present ter
ritorial license, taxation law.
The City Hall was fdled with a con
siderable crowd of representative cit
izens when the meeting was called to
order by A. Polet who announced that
the meeting was called in answer to
the telegram sent by the Representa
tives of tile Second Division in the
Territorial legislature requesting that
tho citizens of Nome forward a tele
graphic protest against the proposed
change in the present taxation law
and espeically against that section nf
tho new Revenue bill designed to im
pose a tax on incorporated towns.
.Mayor George Diamond and .loo
Sheldon were appointed permanent of
ficers of the meeting and a general dis
cussion of the proposed change took
place, the majority of tile speakers be
ing of the opinion that a change in
tile present taxation system was not
advisable Owing to the general lack
of knowledge concerning the full terms
of the measure under discussion sev
eral speakers were of the opinion that
it were b. at to go slowly until tile mat
ter was better understood.
Mr. Sheldon stated that ho was of
the opinion that Representatives
Coomb*. Paly and Qeteliell would
hardly he likch to call for a protest
save in the event that the matter was
of vita! moment. The absence of de
tail and the general lack of knowledge
was somehow attributed to the news
papers in the opinion of Mr. I'olet and
while he conceded the merits of the
local sheets, insisted that they were
more or less indefinite and somewhat
unsatisfying rags, when it eatne to
dispensing ncws-of the legislative do
ings. Mr. I'olet moved that a telegram
expressing the attitude of the meeting
be sent to Juneau which movement
was adopted by unanimous vote and a
telegram worded substantially ns fol
lows was ordered sent to the ltepre
senlatives of this Idvisinn at I lie leg-j
islativn peat:
".Mass meeting held tonight att-j
thorisses you to use every effort to I
drifcat the prnposuil Territori.il t;i\
law. .Meeting' strongly favoring t• rt i
torial license law."
A resolution offered in .Mr I’olet to
Iho effort that the City Council should
also send telegram of protest against
a. change "ti the ground that the ritv
had need of till possible revenues was
also unanimously adopted.
