According to a Cordova paper the city council of that place has come to
the conclusion to tax itinerant pedlars. The same paper states that a law'
passed by the Territorial legislature gives municipalities the power to do so,
and if such i* the case this city has been laboring under a mistake. It must
be said in justice that there is some difficulty in securing the texts of the
hills enacted into law at the last session. The legislature has not seen fit to
have copies of the laws distributed generally, not even to the papers of the
territory. The newspapers would be only too glad to have copies of all the
laws so that they might be taken up and properly given out to the public.
Evidently the legislature harbors the same economic ideas that prevail in
some even less exalted bodies.
But the chief consideration now is that if itinerant pedlars can be taxed
they ought to be taxed. Every man should Ik* compelled to pay towards the
expenses of any community in which he thrives even temporarily. The peo
ple who deal with such itinerants make a had mistake by doing so but a
municipality i> actually condoning the offenses of such pedlars against the
people of the community by permitting them to come and go as deadheads.
It was apparent from the beginning that W. J. Bryan did not leave Ihe
cabinet without the creating of some bitterness between him and the presi
dent and the colleagues of the administration. His statement to the effect
that the note to tier many was modified because of his opposition becomes
exceedingly serious on analysis. In the first place it would indicate that
President Wilson was ready and willing to let home political considerations
affect his foreign policy even at the expense of the dignity and honor of the
nation. If Mr. Bryan has been quoted correctly his words could mean noth
ing else than that the administration altered its policy towards Berlin to take
the wind out of the Bryan sails in the future political yacht race. When we
have a former secretary of state charging one thing and a present secretary
of state declaring >uch a charge to be false we are confronted by one more
political fight which will hardly raise the dignity of great political leaders
in the estimation of the public. It is a direct charge and a direct contradic
tion. Either Mr. Bryan is trying to make the country believe that his resigna
tion was no grand stand play or the administration has taken water. Of
course, the people will believe President Wilson, or, rather, all will believe him
but those who do not want to believe him. It is still quite possible that a
misunderstanding tm>k place hut it hardly sceems likely. However, the great
breach which has been predicted seems to have come. It always seemed clear
that there was only room for one Caesar in Koine.

RAILROAD TAXES COLLECTED
GO TO TERRITORY TREASURY.
CORDOVA.—In a letter received by
Governor Strong, a decision of the
comptroller of the treasury is given
in which he holds that the railroad
taxes collected in the territory of
Alaska shall be put in the United j
States treasury in a special fund and
turned over to the territorial treas-!
urer.
Since the act of July 18th was ap
proved repealing the ta:: of $100 per j
mile on railroads in Alaska, there has
been collected under the provisions of
the new’ act the sum of $25,580.18
from the railroads in the territory.
This money will be turned over to the
territorial treasurer in the near
future.
CORDOVA TO REGULATE
ITINERANT MERCHANTS.
Under an act passed by the terri
torial legislature the city council in
municipalities were granted authority
to license peddlers and itinerant mer
chants.
Before there was some question
whether a federal license gave ped-j
dlers the right to sell their wares in
any city in Alaska without regulation
from the city councils.
As soon as a copy of the new law
is received by the local city council \
that body intends passing an ordi-;
nance covering the licensing of these
itnerants and it cannot be fixed at too
high a figure to Suit Cordova mer
chants.—(Ex.)
GI GGS TAKE BOND FOB
$2,000,000 ON GROUND.
Having bought copper deposits, free
gold veins, silver ledges and coifl
measures, the Guggenheims varied
their usual mining procedure by clos-i
ing a deal for the purchase of a river,
from the bottom of which it is ex
pected they will gamer several million
dollars in gold dust and nuggets. The
Yukon Gold Exploration Company, &j
Guggenheim corporation with a capi
tal of about $20,000,000, has bonded
11 miles of Kenai River, near Seward.
The amount involved in the deal is
close to $2,000,000, divided among a j
number of different claim owners.--.
