IL ia painful to see that the only original
silver bogy, the Crime OF 1873. is waved to

had supposed that il was II Democratic
axiom that all the woe in the world was

But horrible as was the Crime Of 1873, the
Crime OF 1900 il more horrible. The Hon.

The Proposed Outrage Upon Alaska's
Rights.

Why Is there not in Congress n unani-
nous uprising Of the Constitutional ex-
Founders Of the sr proprio pi0Ore school
against the amendment proposed by Sena-
tor PERKINS Of California 10 the bill making
further provision for a civil government for
the Territory Of Alaska?
Senator PERKINs'S amendment imposes
taxes on certain persons and concerns in
Alaska, ~ follows:
"a Abstract ON ices, $50 per annum.
Banks. $3.50 per annum,
Boarding houses, having Accommodations for ten
or more guests. SIS per annum.
Brokers money, bill, note and stockl. 800 per
annum.
Billiard rooms, SIS per table per annum.
Bowling alleys, SIS per annum.
"BtrwerirS. $500 per annum.
Bottling works, 5000 per annum.
cigar manufactures. s25 per annum.
cigar stores or stands, SIS per annum.
Drug stores, $50 per annunI"
And so on down through tho alphabet Of
industries to:
"Tramways, SO for each mile or fraction the 'eot
per annum.
Transfer cou panies $50 per annum,
"Taxdrrmists, SO per annum.
Theatres. 500 per annum.
"WatrrworkS, furnishing water for sale, $50 per
annum,
For IL the Constitution extended itself
by its own force to Alaska when Alaska
became American territory in 1867, this
proposition to levy in that particular terri
tory taxes which are not uniform through
out the United States Is clearly unconstitu-
tional, and might as well be opposed and
defeated now, az left to the rigid justice OF
the Supreme Court later on.
II Alaska is part Of the United States in
the Constitutional sense, its stock brokers,
billiard room keepers and axidermists
cannot be taxed unless the stock brokers,
billiard room keepers and taxidermists
everywhere within the United States, from
Machias to Manila, and from Wall street to
Walla-Walla, are taxed at exactly the
same rate.
The Constitutional requirement Of uni
formity throughout the United States -
does not apply merely 70 the customs
tariff; il includes all duties, imposts and
excuses" And these proposed license fees
are excuses.
