PLEA FOR RAILROAD
 PRESIDENT WILSON

Straight from the shoulder is the verbiage of a joint memorial to Presi- dent Wilson, with the legislatures fervent prayer that railroad construc- ton be started this summer, as intro, duced in the Senate by Senator Hub bard, on behalf of the committee from both houses. Final action on it was deferred to investigate the feasibility of inserting a clause which would give employment on the railroad only to the residents of Alaska, and "citizens of the United States"
 The memorial is as follows:
 To the President of the United States:
 Your memoriallsts. the Legislature of the Territory of Alaska, respectful- ly suggest:
 1. The importance of actual con struction work on the government rail. roads in Alaska during the year 1915 to the extent of the present appropria- ton by Congress;
 2. The employment in such work, as far as it can consistently be done,

 VI l | [ N I 1 ' INSANE

Frank S. Loman, Signal Corps, op- orator at Thompson Pass, was brought to Valdez yesterday afternoon under guard of five men, having gone vio- lently insane Tuesday.
 Loman is we'll known in Valdez, hay ing resident in that section for six or seven years. He was in the service, but when his term expired two years ago he went outside and only recently re-enlisted and was sent back toAlas- ka. When he arrived about a month ago he was given the Thompson Pass station.
 The first indication of Loman's in sanity manifested itself Tuesday morning when he chased Private Mich ols from the station with a knife. threatening to kill him. Nichols went to Wortman's where he met Private Eastman, of Beaver Dam, and Private Foster. of Wartman's station. The three men returned to the Thompson Pass station and attempted to pacify Loman, but their efforts were futile, and he struggled with the men all night. He is reported to have wreck ed the telegraph station before being overcome.
 The unfortunate man was taken to Fort Liscum, where his case will be investigated and if found insane will probabaly be sent outside for treat ment.

of the actual residents of the Terri tory, and at wages equal to the wages now and heretofore paid for similar work in Alaska;
 3. The serious injury and disap- pointment to the business interest of the Territory that would result from delay or postponement of the con struction work during the year 1915,
 1. The further disappointment and injury to the large number of citizens of the United States, who. inspired by the legislation Of Congress to con struct railroads therein. have already made final preparation to come to AL aska this year to establish permanent homes in the Territory;
 5. The need for immediate relief from inexcusably excessive and pro hibitive freight rates, by the exhaust. ed and suffering people in the Great Yukon and Panama river basins, cer- tainly appeals for immediate action.
 And for a favorable consideration of these suggestions we, your memor- ialists, will ever pray.

SANS AND
TAX BOARD DIFFER
ARGUMENT STARTS OVER NEW
RULING ON PERSONAL PROP.
ERTY EXEMPTION.

Assessor J. C. Sans and the state
tax commission got into a rumpus
this week over the new ruling by the
attorney generals Office to the effect
that the constitutional exemption of
$500 on personal property applies to
the actual value of the property and
not to the assessed valuation, when
Sans announced that he would not
follow the new ruling and the tax
commission wrote him letter tell
ing him to do so.
The opinion was rendered at the
request of the tax commission, which
had notified the assessors of the state
February to follow 1t, the ruling
sustaining these instructions, but
Sans in his latest reply says he has
never received such, official instruc-
tions and proposes to use the old sys-
tenn to save the taxpayers the ex-
pense of printing new detail sheets.
Under the old method it was possible
to obtain total exemption from taxes
on personal property which had an
actual value of about 5000, the prop
erty being valued at $500 on the SO
per cent basis for taxation and the
5000 exemption being then allowed,
30 that the owner paid no taxes. but
under the new rule q person who has
5000 Of personal property 10 to be
allowed an exemption Of $500. maxi
ing him liable for taxes on $3.50. on
the 50 per cent valuation basis.
