took the British flag as they knew 1t,
and made new colonial flag by divid-
Ing the red field with white stripes
into thirteen alternate red and white
stripes. This il known as the Cam
bridge flag. because 1t was first un.

ters at Cambridge. Mass. on January

1907 by having the Union Jack on 1t;
II also represented the thirteen colon
les by the thirteen stripes,
Az the colonists gradually became
converted to the idea that independ,
ence from the mother country was
necessary. they began to modify the
flag. first by leaving on the Union
Jack and using only the thirteen hori-
zontal stripes The modified fiaga
were not always red and white. but
regularly consisted OF combinations OF
two coiors selected from red, white.
blue and yellow, The final modifica,
ton was the replacement of the Union
Jack by the white stars on blue
field.
The stars are the only distinctive
feature OF the American flag. Tho
charming story which credits Betsy
Ross with making the first flag OF
stars and stripes Is still accepted by
historians. When Washington sug1
gested the six.pointed star, she demon,
strated the ease with which fiye-
pointed star could be made by fold
ing piece OF paper and producing
one with single clip OF the scissors.
Some writer's are OF the opinion that
both stars and stripes In the nag
were derived from the coat Of arms OF
the Washington family, but this the
DRY Ii not generally held,
The Official adoption of our first flag
was In 1777. On June IA Of that year
the Continental congress passed an
act providing that "the flag OF the
thirteen united states be thirteen
stripes. alternate red and white: that
the union be thirteen stars, white on a
blue field. representing new constal,
lation" The thirteen stars were ar,
ranged In circle 10 symbolixe the per,
petuity Of the union OF the states.
Vermont was admitted to the Union
in 1891 and Kentucky In i7s2. It was
felt that these two new states ought
to be recognized on the flag. SO In 1894
congress passed an act making the
flag fifteen stars and fifteen stripes.
This remained the dag OF the United
States throughout the War of 1879,
until there were twenty states In the
Union. In 1916. an effort was again
made 10 modify the flag so that all the
new states would DO represented on II,
To be continually adding stripes would
make the flag very awkward In shape
and appearance. so after arguing the
matter for two years, congress decided
TO return to the original thirteen
stripes and one star for each state,
Congress has never determined the ar.
rangement of the stars nor the shape
and proportions OF the flag. and there
has been great variation. especially In
the grouping OF the stars. There are
still many who believe that the sym
bolic circular grouping of stars should
be restored.

 Judge Jurey holds that there is no subject of legislation over which 9 leg isiaurc has more absolute and unlim- ltea power than that of licensing and taxation In the ease of states. tho constitution is the only cheek of linn. itation. and in your ease Che organic act is your only check and llmitaton Otherwise you are responsible only to your own conscience and your conaut- uents. and whatever you will is the law for all practical purposes There is nothing poetica about laws Wher- ever they find property except what is devoted to public and charitable uses. they claim contribution tor its protection withou, any special re- spect to the owner or his occupation and without reaecting much on ques. uons of generosity or courtesy
 Judge Jurey urther holds that See ton 9 of tine organic act Is the best guide to the legislatures Dowcr-"Pro. vided that ,hc authority herein grant ed Co che legislature to alter amend, modify or repeal laws in force in Al aska shat not extend to or to the laws of the United States proyid- ing for taxes on business and trade s provided further, that this provision shall not operate to prevent the legislature from imposing OTHER AND ADDITIONAL TANES OR Ll-N CENSES
 The opinion is accompanied by va rious citations. among them being quotations from Cooley on taxation, third edition. and various opinions of the Washington courts.

TIME TO WAKE UP.

The longer Chairman Walsh con-
tinues to preside over the investiga-
lions by the industrial relations com
mission the greater criticism is he
aropsing and the more is his unfitness
for the position being disclosed. That
he has been endeavoring to play to
the public instead of combining him
self to the work which he was as
signed to do has been apparent for
some time. This has lead to the opin-
ion that he takes a. different view of
his duties from what is generally con-
sidered was intended and is acting not
as an impartial investigator, but pros
ecutor. jury. Judge and publicity agent.
1t was a singing rebuke which was
given when the president refused to
furnish the commission certain private
correspondence which was asked for.
That may or may not have indicated
the presidents displeasure at the
manner in which he is conducting the
work assigned the commission, but
there can be no question but what the
protest by the fellow members of the
commission against the manner and
methods he has used is well directed.
With the public and the rest of the
commission demonstrating it would
appear time for him to give heed to
his faults. unless he places personality
before duty.
