For the first time in the history of Fairbanks, taxes were paid on 5teamboats last Friday. and this ill creased the funds in the city treasury s4S0. The payment was made by the American Yukon Navigation company which in the past has protested that the city has no right to tax steam boats.
 Now that the American-Yuk Navigation company has recognized the right of the city to assess steam boats, it is expected that other steam boat owners will not oppose assess ments, and that this new source of revenue to the city will amount to about $1.000 year,

Newspaper Gives
 Lawmakers Advice

Cordova Times There remains only a short time now before our territorial legislature will convene for business and of course those of us who are always ready with per fectly good advaice, will from now on avail ourselves of the opportunl- ty and oblige our lawmakers by ad, vising them-they need advice al right-about what should or should not be done in the way of lawmak- ing.
 This is merely suggestive, but if we are to continue under the pres ent organic law-our power to legis- late being of the comic opera nature the first thing we would suggest to the lawmakers to do would be to introduce and immediately pass an act repeating every doggone law enacted by the last legislature, and begin anew. The reason for this is found in the fact that three-quar- ters of the laws enacted by the n ve l-tobe-forgdtten-last-legislature, are worthless. and leave a cloud on the other quarter as to their val idity.
 As a second suggestion, we would advise that law be passed to com. pei congress to give us the power to legislate to our hearts content and without any restraining appen- diXes: such as must be approved by congress" etc.
 The third suggestion would be to repeal a large bunch of laws con- tained in our codes which are detri- mental to the best interests of the few. In the event that the above suggestions fail to have any support we would offer the following as a substitute; and that is. to pass no new laws. of whatsoever kinds or nature, as new laws are dangerous Besides we have enough already.
