OTTER CREEK OPERATOR
 RETURNS FROM OUTSIDE

J. E. Riley, of Riley & Marston, the Otter creek operators, who has been spend ing the winter on the Outside, arrived at Discovery last Thursday afternoon, about l o'clock, having negotiated the trip from Seward in less than 13 days, He says the only good travelling he had on the trip was on this end-coming from Rainy pass III five days. a distance of over PA miles. MT. Riley was accompanied from Sustna station to Takotna bv Colonel Revelle, the mail contractor, who reached 1ditarod last night.
 In a short talk over the phone with MT. Riley shortly after his arrival he stated that business conditions on the Pacific coast had improved noticeably during the past few weeks, since the tariff and currency questions had been finally disposed of.
 Mir. Riley came to Idtarod yesterday morning to deliver a number of letters and small parcels which had been intrusted to his care before leaving Seattle. It was at Susitna station that Mir. Riley last saw Captain Albert Vile, 1ditarod's new post master, who is making easy travehng for a party of returning old-timers by march ing in advance and breaking the trail. He says the captain makes very heroic fig ure as he dauntlessly assails and renders passable the heavy banks of snow. After leaving Susitna station MT. Riley says he took particular pains to inform all the road house keepers that the postmaster general with distinguished party was following in his wake, and says it was remarkable, as well as pleasing to himself, to notice the active preparations being made all along the trail to receive and behttingly enter tain such noted parsonage. In fact, MT. Riley says, Captain Wile's 'mush" to this city is fast assuming the proportions of 8 triumphal march.

NEW TAX LAW PROPOSED

Hon: w. j. Burnett. dean of the
1915 House of Representatives,
will introduce a bill providing for
a graduated mortgage registry
tax. Mr.. Burnett has long favored
this measure, but owing to the
constitutional provision that all
property must be assessed at a
uniform rate was unable to Sc
cure it's passabe. Then ew CLASH
fication amendment overcomes
this difficulty and this commits
sion hopes that the mortgage reg
istry tax measure of Mr.. Burnett's
will become a law.
We understand that he pro-
poses to introduce a measure pro-
viding for graduated tax of pro-
badly fifty cents on each one hun
dred dollars of every mortgage
which runs for a term of five
years or less: seventy-five cents
on each one hundred dollars for
mortgages that run more than
five years and not to exceed one
run a greater length of time. At
revenue is RECEIVED from this class
Of property. While it would be un-
fair to attempt to apply the aver
age tax of the state to mortgages,
yet it is equally unfair for them
to escape without any tax at all.
1t is to be hoped that the leg
islature can find some means Of
preventing the shifting of this tax
to the borrower. The rule is that
all taxes on mortgages are shift
ed to the mortgagor. Some endea-
yor should be made to prevent
this.
It is difficult to state what the
revenue will be from this source.
but it will be greatly in excess If
the revenue received at the pres

that things were not going right

a thing was never thought of by
Governor Hanna-no indeed!
But no sooner had the votes
been counted and Mr.. Hanna was
safely elected than the very
things which Frank Hellstrom
charged the Hanna machine with
planning to do took place. Presi-
dent Worst was removed BY A

board was kept from r-blic Just as
many other acts have kept from
the public since the institution
became Hannaized.
And fearing the storm of in
dignation which the action of the
board might stir up. Governor
Hanna ordered his faithful fun
kies to back up-for the present.
AS a result four of the seven
members intellectually of course
and rescinded the action of the
board in removing Worst. firing
of the Hanna political domination
of the college, despairing of be-
ing able to divorce the instittu-,
ton from politics and making it
anything except a plaything in
the hands of Hanna. three of the
members have resigned.
And now that Governor Hanna
has it in his power to name q
board which will be in complete
work Of disciplining Worst. of
getting rid Of Ladd. of undoing
