The capitation tax on dogs should bring
to the State this year over $35, 900. There
were 71,713 dogs in the State, according
to the returns last year. 1t is quite pos.
sible that there are four or five times that
number, but this number found their way
on the tax books and will be assessed for
capitation tax this year.
Some men think the plush cushions in
the opposite seat in the railway cars are
made for their feet. Well, it is nice,

looking for clean place to sit down?

That is n timely warning and one
which will strike IL responsive chord

wherever they may be found. Even

in fight within the party ranks, for
the election thief that steals from his
own comrades is just II tribe worse
than the member of robbcr band
who is always on the watch for an
opportunity to give his pals the double
cross.
We sincerely trust that the result
OF the primary scandal I'm Richmond
will be seen in the conduct of the con.
test on August %. We trust that Il
lair and acceptable plan will he put
into effect and that no questionable
practice will be tolerated in any sec

perpetrators Of the crime will forth

IS STRAIGHT Ryan All Right On Self
 Government Question

Gov. A. P. Swineiord, who has re- turned from the Seattle convention, says mistaken idea has been conveyed bv the press as to the attitude of Dick Ryan, of Nome, toward the question of territorial government for Alaska. Mir, Ryun is for everything for which the Alaska convention stood, according to Gov. Swiueford, heart and soul as are the other delegates to Washington.
 In au interview given a representa- tive of the Daily Alaskan at Juneau, Gov. Swineford said 1t was the under standing among the delegates that Mir. Ryan would not present the question Of territorial governmentto to congress until the arrival of the other delegates.
 Mir. Ryan feels that Governor Swine ford, because of his long residence in Alaska, and because of his Identification with the movement for territorial gov ernment, is the best qualified man in the district to present the arguments for territorial government and to him has been assigned that duty.
 A movement is on foot at Juneau and Ketchikan to raise a fund with which 70 pay the expenses of Gov. Swineford to Washington. It will probably ma teralize so that the representative of southeastern Alaska will get away for the national capital about the first of the year, so that he will be on the ground at the beginning ot the actual work of the session after the Christmas holidays.
 Capt. o. J. Humphrey, the third divi- sion delegate to Washington, has au- .uouuced that he will place himself under the command of Gov. Swineford at once upon the arrival of the dele gates at Washington and he will work under the direction of the "old war horse" of Southeastern Alaska from the beginning to the end.
