FORECAST OF LAW
FOR REVENUES.
JUNEAU.—The ways and means
committees of the Senate and House
have been giving serious thought to
the revenue law which may be offer
ed as a joint committee bill to the
legislature for adoption. Some of the
cardinal features of the proposed bill
have been practically decided upon.
Unless sentiment changes, it may be
forecasted that the bill will contain
provisions for four sources of revenue:
(1) A property tax.
(2) A license tax similar to that
provided by the last legislature.
(3) A per capita, or poll tax.
(4) Corporation tax.
The per capita or poll tax, while ad
mittedly unpopular in some sections
of the Territory, is believed by mem-,
bers of the committees to be just and
reasonable, and, in many sections pop-j
ular and desirable. It is the idea of
the members of the ways and means
committee that the funds derived
from that source shall go forward the
maintenance of the Pioneers’ Home at
Sitka and the support of indigent and
needy pioneers under some plan such
as that provided in the Aldrich bill,
which proposes to give them a pen
sion, while in need, of $>12.«>0 a month,
in case they prefer that to going to
the Home.

We’re hung the crepe on Portage Bay,
And things are looking good,

But then we knew we would.

NEWS NOTES
District Attorney Whittlesey says
that the statement in yesterday’s pap
er that married women under the age
of twenty-one can vote is not correct.
The law says that a woman under the
age of twenty-one who gets married
must be regarded as having reached
her majority but Mr. Whittlesey says
! that this only means that she reaches
majority for the purpose of transact
ing business. However, the question
, caused discussion amongst different
i lawyers yesterday and what are poor
lay folks to do?
The good news has arrived that
James Fittatriek, the one and only
“Popcorn’’ has undergone an operat
ion and com© out of it finely. The
operation was performed last Satur
day and Sam Graff telegraphed the
news to Clarence W hitney.
Mrs. Frank Ballaine was elected
clerk of the school board virtually be
mmmmmmmmmrnmmmmmamtmmmmam———————
fore the polling commenced at all.
She is the only candidate and was
• nominated by the whole community
unanimously. The only reason for
mentioning the fact at all is, so to
speak, to place it on record.
Thomas Weaver represented
Messrs Poindexter and Anderson last
| evening at the council meeting in the
! effort to get action on the electric
franchise. Mr. Weaver is a lawyer
who '•ecently came to Sewarci from
