FRIDAY LAST DAY
 FOR TAXPAYERS

There remain but two more days in which property owners may pay the municipal taxes and avoid the penalty that will be imposed on delinquents. A penalty of 5CS will be added to all taxes not paid on or before D.. m, Friday. July 24. An additional pen, adty of 5 per cent will be added to all taxes remaining unpaid on August l. After August l all delinquent taxes will be compiled and a list of such de- Ilnquencies published for a period in the local papers.
 After the period given in the notice by publication has expired the city will ask the court for an order of sale and proceed to sell all property on which the taxes have become delln- quent as provided for by law.
 A great many people have had the impression that the city taxes would not become delinquent until the last Friday in July and this in a measure has tended to cause delay in the mat ter of paying taxes. The specific date fixed when taxes become delinquent is the Fourth Friday in July. This year happens to have five Fridays in July and many became confused, thinking it was the last Friday and that they would have until the last day Of July.

SHOUT FOR MORE HOME
 RULE FOR ALASKA

Representative Arthur c. Shoup, of Sitka. is in favor of more home rule for Alaska. He believes the restric- tions on the Territorial form of gov ernment that Is obtaining in the Ter rltory should be removed, and that ad. ditlonal powers should be conferred On the Territorial Legislature. He contends that all the powers that other Territorial governments have had should be extended to this Territory.
 In letter to The Empire under re- cent date Representative Shoup says:
 Alaska should be immediately granted every right of self.government the other Territories have had, and some certain additional powers.
 The organic act creating the legis. lature withheld from Alaska numerous privileges and powers usually found in the Territorial organic acts. Con- spicuous among these omissions are:
 CD The Alaska law does not clothe the Governor with power of pardoning offenses against the Territorial laws;
 (2) A county form of government is not authorized, except with the affirm. ative approval of Congress-; (3) The appointment of minor officers, such as probate judges, justices of the peace, recorders, constables, coroners and others, is not left to the Governor and Territorial Senate-or to election by the people; (D There is no provision for a Territorial Supreme Court; (5) A Territorial attorney or Attorney General is not provided for. More over, the Alaska act contains the following direct restrictions: CD That the authority herein granted to the legislature to alter, amend, modify and repeal laws in force in Alaska shall not extend to CD the game, fish and fur.seal laws and laws relating to fur-bearing animals of the United States applicable to Alaska; or (2) to the Jaws of the United States provid- ing for the construction and mainte. nance of roads, the establishment and maintenance of schools, and the care and support of insane persons Q. and the several acts amendatory thereof; Provided, that this provision shall not operate to prevent the legislature from l imposing other and additions taxes or licenses; (4) "Nor shall any divorce be granted by the courts of the Ter ritory, unless the applicant therefore shall have resided in the Territory for two years next preceding the applica. tion, which residence and all causes for divorce shall be determined by the court upon evidence adduced in open court; nor (5) shall the Legislature

HOME RULE MAY
 BE PARTY SLOGAN

The Juneau Democratic Club last night declared for the widest measure of home rule for Alaska that is com patible with Territorial form of gov. ernment, and for a direct primary election law that would put the af- fairs of political organizations in the Territory in the hands of their mem- bers. The club also expressed Itself on other matters which concern the Territory, declaring that 1t is the sense of the club that the Democratic plat form which the party will adopt at Skagway should endorse the admins. tration's Alaskan and other policies in strongest terms; that 1t should con. demn the "Pinchot-Wickersham" con. servation policy; declare for govern. ment railroads; approve the adminis- tration's activities in aiding naviga- ton; ask for liberal appropriations for wagon roads and trails; ask for more liberal homestead laws; for an eight hour day; for Territorial con- trol of the fisheries, and many other things of greater or lesser importance.
 Want Party Legislature.
 The club also declared that condi. tions in Alaska are such that the pressing needs of the day could be met by the Democratic party better than in any other way, and therefore 1t rec commended that the party put legisla- tive tickets in the field in the various judicial divisions.
 This tentative platform will be pre- sented to the Juneau delegation to the To 0 a n of the Juneau Democratic club.
 Q Debate on Wleker8ham.
 The provision of the proposed plat form linking the name of Delegate Wickersham with that of Pinchot caused a spirited debate. J. Fl. Cobb opposed it, and in lengthy argument went into the history of Alaska to show that the 5O.year-old record of the in relation to this Terri tory had been as if it were the pur- pose to prevent development; and that Pinchot's conservation was but con. tinuation of a policy of obstruction. He denied that Wlckersham had sup ported conservation, and asserted that he had contributed toward the of the new policy that the Democratic administration Is ap- plying to Alaska.
 J. A. Hellenthal contended that Del egate Wickersham had not opposed the creation of reserves in Alaska, or the of the natural resources; that if he had done so he could have prevented them; that he had not truly represented the protest of the people of Alaska in this matter, and that he was just as responsible for the policy as though he had urged it.
 The club voted for the amendment linking the names together.
