WILL TAX
 BY DIRECT
 LEVY PLAN

From the sentiment which was drawn out in Che Legislature today from members Of the Senate and House. it is certain that system Of direct taxation" will be the spirit of the 1915 revenue and taxation bill. This is the plan Of Senators Gaustad and Willard. and Representative Shoop. Of the joint committee. The Idea could be made to eliminate the license system from the revenue-rais- ing program of the Territory.
 In the House committee of the whole. with Representative c. K. Snow in the chair, the poll.tox sys- tenn Of providing funds to operate the Territorial government was swatted after considerable discussion Mr.. Burns moved that the poll tax system be continued. Co relieve destitution. to aid orphaned children and for other "indigent" purposes. The motion was laid on the table indicating that it win be heard from again before the taxation program is carried out. Air. Day said he had been elected on an anti poll-tax platform. while Represent ;atives Driscoii. Burns. Collins and Shoup stood for the measure.
 Mir. Daly's objection to the consider auon og ,hc Burns poll tax levy mo ,ion. was chat be was not In favor Of the per capita tax and chat the only way he would consider it would be providing the Territory had no other means Of raising revenue. "lt should be the last method considercd-after all other means of collecting reve- uue had been found wanting. he said
 The motion was then tabled.
 Plans is Outlined.
 Representative Shoup read from che committees draft ol the revenue and taxation bin. in the House. while Sen ator Gaustad explained the drait oi the bin. in the upper chamber. The measure was favored by Senator Mill lard. who said that ~Our license tax in 19lS did not reach 50 per cent. of che industries and businesses.
 Col Willard wanted the committee 10 be authorized to 80 ahead with the drafting oi tho bll. with the promise or ratification by the Senate. when the bill was completed. Senator Sul- ger objected. He said that the public should be informed as Co the provis- ions Of the bill. and suggested public meetings. Senator Hubbard said he did not care 60 sic in public meeting with the people or Juneau. or those of any other town. to consider legis- laton. "Ler them appear before the committee. but not in public meeting. he said.

 FOR NEUTRALITY

ATHENS. March SO.-Athens cor. respondence says the decision oi the King of Greece against abandoning neutrality was based entirely on mili' tary considerations. The dispatch of a strong force against Constantinople would dangerously weaken Greece's defences on the Macedonian frontier and furthermore. Greece by entering the war without formal invitation from the triple Entente was doing SO without any guarantees for her posi- tion on the mainland, which might be jeopardized by Bulgaria.
 The King resents Che report that his neutrality is due to the circum. stance that the Queen is sister of Emperor William. of Germany.
