INCREASE IN POLL TAX
The Nordaie bill extending the age limit for the pay
ment of poll school tax and making it applicable to both
sexes will hardly meet the approval of anyone save those
bent upon increasing the tax burden despite the national
policy calling for lightening this burden.
The origin'U poll tax act started out by fixing the!
tax at between $2 and $4 for all male persons between j
the age of 21. and 60 years. Imemdiately the politicians j
selected the highest set figure.
The poll lav was created for the purpose of impos-i
ing some of the burden of the cost of government upon;
transcients and those who do not otherwise pay taxes.
.When this burden is passed along not only to men past
the age of earning capacity, applied to aged women and
doubled and tripled on the man of family, it becomes one j
of the most vicious instruments for mulcting an already;
overtaxed public that could be conceived.
It is to be hoped the Legislators will adhere to^ the
principles on which they were elected and instead of in
creasing taxes, keep carving away all appropriations not j
calculated to cripple the normal functioning of govern-1
ment.
ALASKA DAY
On March 30 in the year 1867, or 66 years ago, the
sovereignty of the Czar of Russia over Alaska passed
to the United States of America.
Involved in the transaction wTas the sum of $7,200,
000. To date this has been repaid more than 36 times in
production from the Territory.
While this has been in progress resources calculated
to duplicate this return and within one or tw*o, instead
of 66 years, have been brought to light, and there is no
depreciation of such assets as fisheries, which grow in
volume every year.
Just like the good old days down on the farm; Pres
ident Roosevelt maps out the day’s work, hands it to the
overseer with the admonition: “See that the boys keep
step with the pacemaker.”
Possibly the reason wThy Congressman Smith shout
ed opposition to the President’s farm plan was to let the
folks back home know that he wras in Washington instead
of off fishing.
If the Japanese really wrish to get that Chinese Wall
down they mighc put a regiment of Scotchman on one
side and toss a handful of pennies on the other.

Death came last week to Captain
Palmer Moen of the motor vessel
Frances E. when she ran aground
in a blinding snowstorm off Woody
Island, near Kodiak, in attempting
to come into Kodiak harbor. Dur
ing the grounding, Captain Moen,
who had suffered for some time
with heart trouble, went aft to
take soundings. He was not seen
again and it is presumed that he l
died of heart failure and fell over- |
board. A reward of $50 is offered;
for the recovery of his body.
Early reports of the accident to;
the Frances E. indicated that three j
men had been lost overboard, and J
that one of them was Bill Studdert,
manager of the Squaw Harbor!
cannery and salmon traps for Al
aska-Pacific Salmon oCrporation.
Later investigations by The
Gateway disclosed that Studdert
is very much alive in Sand Point,
and that the Frances E. not dam- j
aged materially, proceeded to that;
port from Kodiak.
Sill PUNE FORCED
DOWN IT GOOD SPOT
LOS ANGELES, Marcr 29, —
—An airpane carrying George Ber
nard Shaw, the Irish dramatist
and his wife from the William
Randolph Hearst ranch at San
Simeon to Los Angeles, was forc
ed down at Malibu beach by poor
weather.
Some concern was felt for the
Shaws until the message was re
ceived stating that the pilot safely
put his ship down on the beach
when he felt it was imprudent to
continue thru rain clouds and;
visibility poor.
SOLO MARCS
MASSILLON, O., March 29, —
Eden Jacob Coxey, who trudged to
national recognition in 1894 when
he led an army of unemployed
workers upon Washington, cele
brated his 39th anniversary of the
event by starting a “solo march”
upon the capital.
Now silvery-haired and nearing
79, he made a short speech in the
city hall here at noon. After the
talk he was to leave by motor car
for Washington.

The 2-reel featurette is a good one of music and
dancing woven into a good story. Then there will
be an interesting Travelogue reel of Turkey.
A very interesting play with a background of the airplane in
dustry. The design and invention of a new motor. Idlers and
workers—rich—and poor—wasters and creators. A throbbing
tale of of the struggle between the two.
