REP. ". I. BURNS
 ARRIVES IN JUNEAU

Representative W. T. Burns, of Fair, banks, accompanied by Mrs Burns ar rived on the Yukon last night
 Mir Burns is a boyish looking and vigorous young man, who has been a leader among the men ever since his entry into the Panama valley.
 He was president of the Miners Union and has done his turn in every phase of the prospecting and mining game. Fortune has smiled on him and he is now a well-to.do operator of pla- cer properties on Little Eldorado creek and is also operating on a Chat ham creek quartz property.
 Besides his large mining interests he is largely interested in the First National bank of Fairbanks. While he has been more successful than many of his fellow workers it has not turned his head. Although an oper- ator. it is said he will support the S. hour law. Another measure that is dear to his hear is the reformation of the existing banking laws.
The Alaska daily empire., 1913-03-01

Charles E. Ingersoll, of Ketchikan, arrived on the Yukon last night. In speaking of the subjects in which he takes a great interest as demanding attention before the Legislature, he said: We want an amendment to the present incorporation act in which there is no provision made for en- larging the present boundaries of in- corporated towns. Possibly a third of the taxable property of the town is outside of the town limits, seperated by the medium high tide line. That property has no representation in mu- nicipal elections and although up to the present time the owners have been public spirited enough to pay assess ments levied the, are not legally bound to do it and have no voice in municipal election. Wrangell and Val dez are confronted with the same sit uation.
 Emergencies like the above re- curing immediate attention should have careful consideration, but I am not in favor of taking nasty action in the matter of a general revision of

 Wants Road Tax Changed

A man living in this section when wages are low must contribute sum out of proportion with that of other sections of the country. l feel that everyone should and would gladly pay a fair tax towards road fund as roads are our crying need.
 We should have right to tax the fishing industry and an equitable tax on the same would care for the hatch cries and contribute largely to the maintenance of the roads.
 "The coal lands question should be adjusted without any breaking of faith on the part of the government with bona fde locators who have put in their time and money on the same.
 industries of all kinds should be encouraged and Alaska as home with equal opportunity to all advertised to the world, thus bringing as citizens an addition to our already wonderful man. hood"

the code. This should be left to com mission of lawyers who should make a careful investigation into the con. ditions in the various parts of the ter ritory and make a careful study of the codes of other States and submit re. port at some future time In this way we would get code that would meet the general needs.
 There is room for improvement to the present probate laws especially in dealing with small estate. There should be a summary method of wind- ing up estates involving small amounts.
 "I believe that municipalities should be given greater powers to the end that public utilities and improvements can be had and methods adopted for paying for the same.
 "The mining law should be changed in its application to quartzclaims. The Montana law requires specific amount of preliminary work or labor to be done before the initiation of the right of location is legal. believe this is a good provision if the restriction is not made too burdensome.

ACTION RATIFIED
 AT JOINT CACUS

At two o'clock this afternoon there was a joint caucus of the members of the First Legislature Assembly called by Senator Tripp, who was chairman of the previous meetings. Representa- tive Gaffney acted as secretary of the meeting as before. Every member of whole assembly was present except Boyle and Ingrham, of Valdez, and Subbins of Douglas.
 On motion of Senator Bruner the ac- ton of the previous coucusses in se- curing Elks hall at a rental of $1,S4O and the ordering of preliminary print ing was ratified.
 On motion of Representative Kelly, of Knik, it was decided to apportion the 16 positions at disposal of the as- sembly equally, two to each division of the Senate and tow to each division of the House.
 Senator Tanner suggested that as the contract with the Elks' called for watchmen and janitor service, and that clerkships and stenographers were needed. that watchmen with the qualifications necessary for clerkships or stenographers be employed.
 On motion of Senator Bruner it was decided that each House should call itself together at the customary hour 12 o'clock Monday March 8; and that committee be appointed to notify Secretary of the Territory Distin that he might be present to oficiate and that the same committee notify Judges Overfeld and Lyons of the district court that they are requested to be present and administer the oath of office.
 On motion of Aldrich it was decided that the Senate should have the upper chamber in the Elks' building and that the Representatives would occupy the auditorium of the building.
 The chair appointed Senator Brun- CT, of Nome, Representative Dirscoll' of Fairbanks, and Representative Kelly of Knik as the committee to no- tify Secretary Distin and Judges Over field and Lyons with respect to the ac- ton taken on organization.
 The joint caucuss adjourned and the Senate membership then went into ex' ecutive session.

 Makes Plea for Roads

ed in making discovery and any measure that tends to destroy his con- fidence of receiving just treatment will have a tendency to stop further effort on his part and hold the development of our country in check.
 We have fine agricultural possi bilities in the great Susitna and Mat anuska valleys. The character of the soil and climatic conditions are such that these valleys are certain to set tie up with home seekers if trans portation facilities are provided. The hills are covered with bunch grass and the valleys with red top. Alreads barley and oats are successfully raised and matured and, of course, vegetables of all kinds thrive. The present home stead law should be amended to aI low the poor man better chance At present he must have 40 acres
 reduced to cultivation before tit,e will be granted and this handicap is practically prohibitive of rapid set tlement of the country. The require ments of the law should be cut down to lesser amount.
 We should have more funds for wagon roads. Those already con structed have been of incalculable ben. eft to the miners and prospectors when constructed. but the work done is insignificant when the great eXpansc of the territory is taken into consid. eration.
 "The Legislature should, at this ses. sion, memorialize Congress for the relief of those coal claimants whaO have paid in their money for coal lands and received nothing in return This money has been held in man! cases for years and the government should return it. or deliver patents tO the lands.
 "The mail conditions about our country are bad-the so.caled govern. ment mail route is joke. Instead of our mail going by the route for which the contract is made, We get it most. ly through a private volunteer service by railroad and launch service The government refuses to recognize our needs because the business over the regular route does not sem to warrant incrased service and attention The people will not patronize the round about water route of the government because it is too infreQuent and unre. liable. We seem to be up against hard proposition unless something is done to enlighten the postal author. ities as to the true conditions"
The Alaska daily empire., 1913-03-01

Representative Milo Kelly, of Knik, like Senator Willard, is activeliy en. gagged in the quartz mining industry and is president and manager of the Alaska Gold Quarz Mining Company, operating on Willow creek about 36 miles back of Knik Mr. Kelly has some very decided ideas on legislation and like all of the others believes that transportation development is the par amount need ofthe country.
 q agree perfectly with Representa- tive Cray, of Katalla," said Mir. Kelly, lon the question of railroad construc. tion and transportation problems gen erally. I am a believer in government ownership and control of the railroads for the reason that such a system will assure to the people equitable and eco- nomical transportation ratesv-and this is absolutely necessary to promote the of the country's re- sources. As an instance bearing on the situation-I use Pennsylvania coal in my blacksmith shop. This coal costs me $25 per ton laid down in Seattle, and another $25 is added to the cost to get it to Knik and to get it to the Willow creek mine $16O is paid in transportation charges making a total cost of $21O. Now, within 40 miles of our Willow creek mine We have a far superior quality of black smith coal, but under present transpor- tation conditions that coal will cost us $4OO per ton delivered at our mine and mill.
 This I take it demonstrates the ab- surdity of the proposition brought forth by some learned statesmen that the people of Alaska beallowed to open and develop small ten.acre tracts of coal for their own use There has been much blaring of trumpets throughout the East over the granting of two insignificant tracts of land with a quality of light coal that would be absolutely valueless for our uses. We need the coal in the Matanuska iields and roads will have to be biult to it or we will never get it. Transporta- tion will not go where there is no ton mage, therefore the small tract of coal land will never produce coal for the market nor for home use.
 "The leasing system without govern ment ownership of the railroads would be a very bad thing for the simple reason that the same interests in con- trol of the transportation would con- trol the lease The prospector should be encouraged by granting him an equitable share for the labor eXpend'
