John D. to Pay His
Income I ak in NY.

YONKERS, N. Y. = When John D.
Rockefeller returned TO his Pocanti-
co Hills estate today from Cleve-
land an income tax blank from In
ternal Revenue Collector Donohue OF
Workers awaited him.
There was some doubt for a while
whether the Oil King would pay
Uncle Sam in New York state or
Ohio. But Donohue, to be on the
safe side, placed him on his list.
Rockefeller, through his counsel,
Virgil Kline, settled he question
himself in protesting against the
s12,0O0,O00 personal tax levied upon
him in Cleveland the other day.
Kline declared Rockefeller had his
legal residence at Pocantico, so
Donohue's district will have the dis
tinction of collecting the largest in-
come tax bill in The country.

Exposition for 1917 to be Incorporated
Commercial Club Committee Makes Plans

With a capital stock Of 100000
and a board of directors composed
of Is members. the Alaska Semi
Centennial Exposition association is
being organized by the Fairbanks
Commercial club, for the purpose of
conducting an exposition in this
city in the summer Of 1917.
A committee Of the Commercial
club which had been appointed 70
prepare plans for the proposed ex
position. met Wednesday evening
and decided upon the scope of the
exposition and its name. Attorney
John A Clark will prepare the in
corporation papers, and as soon as
this is done, it is expected that
steps will be aiken toward filing
them, and it will not be long until
he exposition will be officially
launched.
The Commercial club has tele-
graphed to Delegate Wickersham
the plan of getting the government
to construct university or agri-
cultural college in Fairbanks, and
has asked for the use of The building
for the exhibits of the exposition.
1t has been tentatively planned
to offer the government site for
the proposed school institution at
Exposition park. AS the exposition
is expected 10 be held in the sum-
mer time when schools will not be
in session, the proposed building,
if erected by the government in
time, il is believed will easily ac-
commodate much of the exposition
and thus will eliminate any neces-
sity Of making a structure specially
for the occasion.
After the Exposition association
has been incorporated, it is planned

Proposes Radical
Reform of Courts

OkANE-Presiding Judge w.
A. Huneke, Of the Spokane county
superior court, has announced him
self champion Of plan to abolish
supreme, superior and justice courts
IN the State of Washington, sub
sti .uting one universal court divided
INTO departments to handle appeals
and criminal and juvenile cases.
Judge Huneke favors appointing
instead of electing judges, and ne
would have comparatively easy
method of preferring charges against
them in cases OF delinquency he
explains his plans as follows:
The man who has $50 involved
in a litigation ought to have the
same right to appear before a COM
petent Judge as one who has $4,000
at issue If anything, he needs more
that right because the minor citizen
is the one who can least bear the
aDpllcatlO0 OIL lulSldheu JuotiSS. II
man who has 80 days of liberty to
lose, if convicted of a misdemeanor
charge, should have the same right
to a capable interpre alton OF the
law as one who stands liable to spend
score of years in the penitentlary.
The justice courts that pass on
these matters should be abolished.
1t is an open secret that many JUS
tees of the peace, passing on these
minor cases now, are nowhere near
competent.
of course, having established this
ideal universal court, it should be di-
vided up into departments, but the
Judges should be interchangeable
The routine of assigning its members
to duty and controlling them should
be in he hands of some official, the
attorney general, say, or special
commission. This system would
greatly reduce the number of judges
becarse it would be more flexible
than the present system.
