Washington, Jan. 12.— The hou*& |
! territorial committee is unalterably op-,
posed to helping Alaska when it comes;
to the matter of collecting taxes,
j Under the present system the govern
! ment. officials have been expected to
! collect territorial taxes and licenses,
'and the Attorney (lene»*a! has recently
held that the federal officials can not
be called upon to perform the duties j
that should be attended to by the ter- j
ritorial officials, and under the present i
form of government there are no such J
officials. President Wilson believes j
j that Alaska should have a full terri- j
t torial form of government and it is not
! unlikely that he will press the quest- !
I ion until congress will accede to his j
! recommendations.
