direct In view of the converting of the Iegis-
latnre Of Hawaii within a few days hence, the
following particulars of the proposed innova-
ton in California should be of general inter
est here -Ek
.'Thompson's constitutional amendment pro-
viding for the abolition of the state board of
equalization proposes the formation of taxa
ton commission to comprise three members
appointed by the governor at salaries of $4,000
a year and to serve for terms of six years. The
new commission would not only assume all the
work now done by the board of equalization,
but would also supplant county boards of sup
ervisors as equalizers of assessments in the
various counties. The state commission would
not only equalize assessments on complaint and
protest but would also initiate investigations
with view to raising assessments where con
ditions justified.
1.-THE amendment is so drafted that the tax
commission would be authorized ultimately to
establish uniform systems of assessment and
collection of taxes throughout the state. Ac
cording to Seavey Is ideas, the new plan would
ultimately result in saving of close to mill
lion dollars to the counties through the aboli
ton of the office of county assessor. Under the
present system the rate of assessment ranges
anywhere from forty to sixty per cent of the
true value of property. Under the state CONS
mission system it would result in a uniform
rate of assessment on the basis of the full val
nation of the property. On this basis the var.
ious counties would then impose whatever rate
of taxation should be necessary for their own.
individual needs. Assessments would undergo
general change only once. every four years
with the view of securing greater stability in
taxation conditions. "

The Berlin Norwaerts publishes extracts
from letter from German military surgeon
which show that in future all rumors about the
of wounded prisoners at the hands
Of Russians must be carefully examined.
He writes: Inf LODI saw our wounded

of the Russians 1t must be stated that they
are all praising the Russians. 1t would be good
to give this wide publicity because it would
comfort many whose relatives are in the hands

HAwAu's BONDS IN DEMAND.


The Improving financial tone apparent
throughout virtually all sections of the MAIN
land is emphasized to local investors and busi-
nessmen by the demand for Hawaiian bonds

The Star Bulletin has consistently endeay-
ored to discount stories of depression in the
United States and to point to the factors max
ing for optimism and encouragement. 1t is a
fact THAI for months after the war broke out
the financial centers were largely paralyzed,
butsthis was not because of inherent weakness
but because the worlds systems of exchange
had suddenly been torn asunder by the mailed
fist OF military exigency. Paris, London, Berlin,
St Petersburg Yienna--their financers and
finances were scarce able to move. The money
centers Of the United States suffered from APP
prehensbn hardly less than from the actual
stalling of the worlds financial machine.

COMES TO LOOK
 OVER THE ROAD
COLONEL W. P. RICHARDSON, CHAIRMAN OF ROAD COMNIIS-
 SION, ON NORTHWESTERN.

Colonel W. P. Richardson, chairman of the Alaska Road Commission, ar rived today on the Northwestern and will remain over for another steamer to give him an opportunity to study the road conditions here. The sum of $165, ,OOO has been appropriated this year by congress for road work. Colonel Richardson has often express ed the opinion that many and good wagon roads will be required as feed CTS for the railroad so it is assumed that he will now look over the situa- tion with that idea in mind. He was quoted some time ago by an outside newspaper as stating that a small amount of work will be done on this peninsula this year. The Colonel has only recently returned to Alaska after winter during which he worked for the securing of large road appropri- ations.

MAN WHO WAS PLAYING
 BILLIARDS IN JUNEAU

The Juneau Dispatch of May IS has tho following to say of a man who was in Seward some time ago and created a quick reputation as a wond- erful billiardist:
 "W. Grant Johnson is the latest sen sation in the line of billiards in Ju- neau and is giving all the wielders Of the cue something to think abou,.
 The most difficult shot or masse to him so easy that all those who play billiards wonder why they cart do the same. Mir. Johnson plays 100 or no count.
 Mir. Johnson holds the balkline championship of the northwest. He defeated POrtland's expert cueist, w. c. Dunniway, with an average of 1O.2 for 1000 points, being played in blocks covering three nights, and is owner of a beautiful trophy presented by the Brunswick-B Bake Callande Go.
 Mr. Johnson has sent for his family and will make Juneau his home. For the present he is associated with Burfords place, and will immediately inaugurate the balk line game"

JACKLING MAN
 COMING HERE
STOPPED OFF AT VALDEZ FOR SHORT STAY BUT FAM
 ILY ARRIVES.

J. M. Elmer, representative of the Jackling interests, was a passenger on the Northwestern. Mir. Elmer got off at Valdez for short stay there and will come on to Seward in few days. Mrs. Elmer and the two child ren came to this city and it has been learned on good authority that when Mir. Elmer himself comes he will stay here for quite while The lacking people are the controllers of the famous Alaska-Gastineau and other mines near Juneau and the supposi- ton is that they are now contemplat- ing investment in this part of the ter ritory.
