On Monday evening | republi- cans of Valdez caucussed and named delegates to the republican convention to be held at Juneau. The delegates were uninstructed on all subjects except that of the division of this judicial district. Oh the question of delegate this particular. part of the country will be satisfied with any Alaskan who has the interests.of the people of Alaska at heart. On the question ot the division of,tle judicial dis trict to the end'that two judges be appointed for what now constitutes the Third Division we are greatly concerned. For over one year and a'half the people of this district have been without court. The right of trial. by jury has, as a natural consequence been de uied to those charged with felonies, the right to the writ of habeas cor nus-has to all intents and purposes been. suspended and all of the rights and privileges of those a. c,sed of teiuu.--.

It is unlikely that both judges will be under charges at the same time and this district oi Alas ka vii. have one man that can remain here and keep the docket cleaned. Ifthis is not done may the Gods of the helpless and heroic Help Alaska;-Fair Alaska, that has been so shamelessly outraged, seduced and dishonored.

AGENTS EARNS SGi,O07 IN ALL.

Frankfort. KY, Jan. l2.-State In
spector Hines has laid before the
governor for examination and refer
ence to the general assembly his re-
port of Investigations, covering five
months, of The actions Instituted and
settlements made by revenue agents
for the state at large. and for the
county of Jefferson. In the inyesti-
cation, which was begun at the time
of the exposures with reference TO
settlements made by Revenue Agent
A. NJ Harrison. Of Lexington, the in
spector had several assistants, and
examined or caused to be examined
the Office OF every county clerk In the
state for records showing proceed
ings for the assessment of omitted
property or suits for delinquent tax
es This investigation has convinced
him and those engaged in the work
that several changes in the laws gov
erning the actions of these agents
are imperative and. following the sta
tistical matter gathered, he makes
recommendation as to these chang
es. The report will be of especial
value at this time. when the revenue
laws of the state are under discus
sion by members of the general as
sembly. and measures affecting the
agents are before the body.
The report OF the inspector con-
tains nothing that is sensational, but
adds to the charges brought months
ago against Agent A. NJ. Harrison.
IL shows clearly that under the sys-
TEN which has been practiced by at
least one agent accurate information
concerning his case cannot be got
ten except by interrogating every
person likely to have been proceeded
against. The Investigations made
cover the perior from July /. 1902,
to August /, 1905, and the agents
whose work has been examined are
T. c. Albrltton. of Graves county;
Frank A. Lucas, of Paducah; a. NJ.
Harrison. of Lexington; George IL.
Alexander. of Louisville, and A. J..
Bizot. county agent for Jefferson

According to the report there were
filed out in the state, exclusive of
Jefferson county, 3.157 cases, and

''The practice is not only without
warrant of law, and seriously object
ionable, because there can be no
check or system by which 1t can be
determined that the full amounts
due the state and counties and omis-
sion of proper charges against sher-
ifs on their revenue accounts by rea-
son of the failure of the clerks of
county courts to forward copies OF
the order of assessment, which fail
ures have been caused by his as
sumption of authority, as an officer
for the state-at-large, to collect tax
es and report same. He has persist
ed in this practice in the face of no
tification from the auditor that he
had no authority to make collec-
tions, and the attention of the aud
itor is respectfully called to the fact
that he continues to transact the du-
ties of his Office in a manner not au"
thorized by law"

Held Last Night.

The joint finance committee of the
general council did not meet last
night on account of the absence of
Alderman Earl Palmer. The meeting
will be held tonight instead. This
will be the first meeting of the fl

the two boards have already infor-

they will vote for, and it is supposed
that the finance committee will rec

If it does not, the boards will make

number of instances where taxpay-
ers have been served with notice or
proceedings filed against them, for
the reason that in some counties the
county clerk kept no record of the
cases which were dismissed or aban-
doned by the agents and the true
number of proceedings will greatly
exceed the number as given above.
The amount due the state and
counties under these proceedings, ac-
cording to the report, is s333y0S4.-
9S. For their services the revenue
agents named above received, as pen
alties and commissions, the sum of
s64.967.57. The report adds that
there is still due the state sum in
excess of s6,356.79, for which mo
proper report or charge has ever
been made"
Going into the fees or penalties
which revenue agents have collected
from July. 1902. to August, 1905, the
inspector totals them as follows: To
T. c. Albritton, s2s,62i.17; to Geo.
II. Alexander, s15.0S7.0S; to Frank
A. Lucas. s6,617.95; to A. NJ. Harri-
son s2,3S7.i9; TO A. j. Bizot, who
was appointed in January, 1904, last,
s12,359.95.
Discussing the collections made by
Revenue Agent Lucas. the inspector
says in part: Frank A. Lucas, rev.
enue agent for the state at large.
seems to have construed the law as
giving him not only the right to de-
termine upon the assessment and
valuation of property, but also the
right to collect the taxes due upon
the assessments. II seems to be his
general practice or plan to collect
from as many taxpayers as possible
by agreement as to the valuation anu
years to be paid on, and when he com
pleted his work for a county he filed
with the county court clerk a list,
giving names and assessments. This
list is In the form of an order OF
court assessing the property, and is
recorded as such by the clerk. The
amount of taxes due under the list
he pays to the sheriff of the county
or RENTS the amount due the state
with report to the auditor.
"It has been and is impossible to
check up, his transactions, as there
is no record or basis upon which al
investigation can be made, as to
whether or not he has assessed prop
erty and collected taxes from numer-
Gus people to whom he mails notices
of liability for taxes, with the threat
to institute proceedings in the county
court for the assessment of the prop
erty, unless the taxes are settled with
him; there is no record made OF the
parties to whom he mails these no
tices, and II he fails or omits to file
with the clerk full and true list of
settlements made by him, the matter
is closed, and there is no record by
which to ascertain the amount due
the state and county"
