SEEK MORE PRIVACY
 AS TO INCOMES

NEW YORK, Dec 17.-That section of income tax regulations which re- quires a certificate of ownership of coupons, when presented, will prob ably be changed. As it stands, it per mits trust companies and other pay ing agencies, that act as fiscal agents, to come into possession of valuable lists of bondholders, as the individual, when presenting coupon for payment, has to give name and address.
 Suggested change, under considera- ton by the Treasury, would permit a bond house to assume responsibility by presenting a second certificate in it's own name, filing original certificate with the collector, rather than with paying agent In this way, identity of the bond holder would not become property of the paying agent, as the collectors list is not public property.
 Announcement was made on Balti- more Stock Exchange that confer ences had been held between Balti- more bankers and the Treasury, look ing to relieving the situation, and it is understood the plan will be ac- cepted

SALE OF MIDAS
 INFUSES NEW LIFE

George J. Busch, Alaska travelling agent for the Wells-Fargo company, came back from the Westward on the last trip of the Northwestern, filled with hope for the future of that sec ton after a careful investigation of the condition that now obtain. Things are a bit quiet now" he said, but there is every evidence that a great revival is imminent. They have the resources and there is good evidence that these resources are to receive more attention from capital in the fu- ture than in the past. The sale of the Midas mine has infused new life in the whole country.
 Valdez is on the eve of a great de velopment period. The Granby Smell ter people five days ago made the last payment on the Midas mine and this money, $9S,000, was divided among To- cal people and immediately put into the channels that lead to more devel- opment The new owners of the Mid as, one of the best copper properties in that section expect to be shipping ore from the mine by next August.
 Several good gold quartz proper ties near town are receiving attention now. The mines are being opened up and stamp mills are being established. Another strong card for the Westward towns is the trade that will result from new placer strikes It is expected that there will be many people come to the country next spring destined for both the Chisana and Nelchina dig gings. The last report from the Nel- china arriving at Seward by men who have been working in the country were very encouraging.
 Seward, however, hangs her fond est hope to the friendly attitude of the administration toward railroad building to the coal mines and the in- terior-and toward assisting in the opening up of the country's resources. Yes. things are looking good to the the Westward"

 IN SENATE DEBATE
%

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.-Comment- ing upon the Democratic caucus sys- tenn Senator A. B. Cummins, of Iowa, said:
 There is to be no real debate. The real legislation now is taking place in the democratic caucus"
 Senator James Hamilton Lewis, of Illinois. asserted that Senator Cum mins when Governor of Iowa had re- lied on the caucus system to put through legislative reform, but the Senator denied it. Senator Lewis de- tended President Wilson's action in taking a guiding hand in legislation. Senator Cummins replied that it was the business of the Senate and House to carry out platform pledges and not the province of the President
 "If a binding caucus is necessary to overcome obstacles. it is fully jus tifed as a matter of common sense" :" said Senator Robert L. Owen, of Okla homa. He charged Republicans with having failed to perform their duty when they passed the Aldrich-Vree- land bill, which he characterized as weak and temporary expedient

FEDERAL OFFICIALS TO GET INSTRUCTIONS
O-O

District Attorney John Rustgard who some time ago asked the depart ment of justice for advice as to the du- ties of federal officials in regard to the enforcement of Territorial laws has received a cable from the Attorney General stating that an opinion on that subject is even now coming to Juneau by mail. It is expected that this opin- ion will reach Juneau very soon now Not long ago Marshal H. l.. Faulkner was advised that the United States government would not stand the en- pense of enforcing the territorial laws and that in event that United States officials arrested persons charged with crime under the Territorial laws only, the care of such prisoners, and the eX- pense of causing their arrest should be made a charge against the Terri torial government, and such expense money collected in the same manner as against any other party with which the government had to deal.
 Wickersham Disagrees with
 Comptroller.
 Delegate James Wickersham, writ ing to District Attorney Rustgard, con corning this ruling of the comptroller of the treasury, expresses the opinion that the decision is too narrow to meet the intent of Congress as expressed in the Organic Act He says:
 "I think he (the comptroller has given an opinion which is al together too narrow. There is no question but that he is right under the old theory in respect to practically all the Terri tories of the United States except AL aska, and the courts may finally hold that he is right in respect to that. However. I think this decision alto gether too limited, and not applicable to the legal status created in Alaska by our peculiar Organic Act * * * have no doubt that the courts will give far broader application touching AL aska than the comptroller has given. # ' * l think the courts will eventual ly put more of the burden of the gov ernment in Alaska upon Congress and less of it upon the Territory-as the Organic Act now stands"

Legislature Cannot Change Court Procedure

The Alaska Legislature has no pow CT or authority to amend the code of court procedure according to a de- cisiOn rendered by United States Dis trict Judge Frederic E. Fuller. of the Fourth Judicial Division at Fairbanks Nov 26. Judge Fuller's decision was made in ruling on an indictment against John Wiggers. The indict- ment contained three cOunts-that is, alleged three offenses. Under the code of procedure for Alaska passed by Con- gress only one count is permitted in an indictment The Alaska Legisla- ture amended this provision making it admissible for the grand jury to com bine more than one offense against person in one indictment.
 The attorneys for the defense in the Wiggers case filed a demurrer to the indictment because of the combining of more than one offense alleging that it was contrary to the Federal statute. The prosecution cited the Alaska-made law which amended this provision. The court sustained the demurrer, holding that the Territorial Legislature could not amend the Federal law regulating the procedure in the federal courts.
 District Attorney J. J. Crossley ex- cepted to the ruling of the court in the case and has asked the Attorney General for advice as to whether or not he should appeal the case to a higher court.
 Work May Have Been in Vain. Commenting upon the decision of | Judge Fuller and it's effect upon the status in which it leaves Alaska leg islation, the Fairbanks Times says:
 All of the federal officials and at. torneys of Fairbanks are anxious to see a test case made of the decision, in order that they may know how to proceed in the future.
 Owing to the decision o fthe comp troller of the treasury, whereby he ruled that the United States govern ment would not finance the prosecu- tiOn of any violations of the Territor- ial laws, and if the present finding of Judge Fuller is upheld by the SUI preme court, many attorneys think that the whole work of the first legislative body will have been in vain.
 Judge Fuller has consented to hear the arguments of the attorney for the
