There are many continued Mayor

the number of saloons in the city to
u dozen or so, by imposing a high
license tax This In my opinion,
would be a condition much to be de-

Taft Helps Army
Officers in Alaska

Hearst News Special to the Graphic
Washington, Feb. 2.-Secretary
TAFT has made plea to Congress
on behalf of those unfortunate
army officers who are forced to per
form duty in Alaska. The present
system of reimbursing army officers
for travel was never intended TO fill
the limited facilities of that barren
section, with the result that Off
GERS Up there are out of pocket
every time they move on Govern
ment business. Secretary Taft has
written to several senators, calling
attention to the experiences Of q
lieutenant in Alaska, showing the
injustice of the present rigid law,
which allows only cents per mile
to cover all expenses Of officers
travelling for the department. This
lieutenant is required to make four
trips a year of 115 miles each. His
allowance is about 81 and mis- ac-
tual expenses in the neighborhood
of 500 per trip. On this journey
the officer requires the services OF
seven dogs, and their keep amounts
to so cents a day, and the trip re-
quires nine days. In addition he
has to pay for meals at the rate o.
ST. each and 81 for each nights
lodging. Every time he makes one
OF these trips, the officer is out OF
pocket close to 500.
