means of raising additional revenue,
permit me to suggest the advisability
of imposing a license tax on the busi
ness of operating a railroad.
“Section 0 of the Organic act of
Alaska contains the following provis
ion:
“Provided, that the congress re
serve the exclusive power for fi%c
years fiom the date of the approval o<‘
this act to fix and impose any tax or
taxes upon railroads or railroad pro
perty in Alaska.”
“The Organic act was approved
August 24th, 1012. The period of ro<
ervation by congress of the exclusive
power by congress of the exclusive
power to tax railroads therefore ex
pired on August 24th, 1017. The form

* POSITION OF GREEKS
* IS MOST TRAGIC *
LON HON, April 16— Information
received here from Batum indicates
that, despite the surrender of the Tur- !
kish forces, the position of the Greeks
south of the Black Sea and in the
Caucasus is tragic.
It is alleged that outrages arc be
ing committed by the demobilized but
till armed Turkish reservists and that
the Young Turk commander, General
Halid Pasha , has been pursuing a pol
icy of systematic extermination of
Christians.
This officer, who is a friend of En
voi* Pasha, is said to be supplying
a»*ms to Turkish irregulars in the
Russian territories evacuated by the
Turkish army. Lately he received
from Turkish sources 200 carloads of
arms and munitions.
It is charged that these reservist* I
and irregulars loot and massacre th?
Greek population.
The flourishing Greek town of San
da, near Trebizond with a population i
of about 8,000 is reported beseiged bv
Turkish reservists. The Greeks, pro
filing by the naturally strong posi
tion of the town. a?*e offering heroic
resistance.
