A. P.'s LAST rs PITIFUL
"Did Willis Keep U. S. Out OF War"
Is Timely Topic For Discussion
administrator Tax Mea-
sure Losing Prestige
Daily

The weak and pitiful attempt of the |
"bonified" political writer, Ayers p. !
Velvet, to direct the eyes of Willis |
angry public from the tax revision |
scandal at Columbus is as the act of
drowning man grasping at a straw
drifting in the water
The labored (and puzzling) effort of
this self-same scribbler to make 1t ap-
pear that the Parrett-Whittemor law,
Willis misadministration tax measure
is the only salvation which kept Knox
county out of like scandal has left
people who follow the real politics
of the day" gasping.
Surely there was small consolation
for A(yers) p. in the Columbus mix
up. His hallowed governor did not
stand forth in the most favorable
light, nor did his great taxation mea.
sure shine with even lustre enough to
tighten an underground cavern.
People are not surprised at the
nerve exhibited by A(yers) P. in at
tempting to pour into the ears of the
rank and file" of his party the in
| formation that the elective assessors
| saved Knox county scandal. Before
the campaign is over, Governor VIII
lis will probably have the honor, at
least to the satisfaction of Ayers p,
of having kept the United States out
OF war;
But, woe be, facts are facts, and the
most imaginative mind or serpent-like
pen cannot hide from the people the
naked truth that the boards of revis-
ion in every county of the state were
instructed by the state tax commits
sion acting under the Willis tax law,
that 1t was unnecessary to hear any
complaints Of taxpayers. The Willis
law was heaven-sent, they argued,
and how could there be any com
plants?
If the Knox county board of revis-
ion, which is composed OF two Demo
Gratis and one Republican and which
is consequently controlled by the
Democrats had given heed to the sug-
gestion sent out from the state tax
commission and had acted as the
boards of revision in Franklin county,
Columbiana county, etc, did, it is hard
to tell what the result would have
been. It is safe, at least, to state
that Ayers p. would be even more
forlorn and without-an-issue than he
is at present.
= But the Knox county board, con
trolled by Democrats, harked back to
,, the honest methods obtaining under

RAILROAD BUNGLED
 DECLARES DALTON.

Jack" Dalton, famous Alaskan pathfinder, believes that the Alaska Railroad Engineering commission has bungled on the work of the rail- road construction work. Speaking to a representative of the Juneau En- pire recently he said:
 "The commission has spent two and one-half million dollars, and they have only six miles of track laid. Ex- perience has taught railroad men that in countries where transporta tion is difficult, mile of road can be built over the rockiest kind of right Fof-way for 26,00o." MT. Dalton de- clares that Thomas Riggs. Jr., whom he characterizes as the ablest man in the commission, has been much in the background. "They put Riggs on the survey end. in the interior; they haven't given him a chance. and he lis in high standing in Alaska, as an engineer"

Scheffler and the members of the crew of the launch Onward, who were marooned on Fire Island when the launch was crushed by the heavy ice in Cook Inlet. are believed to have perished. The Onward had taken on a cargo at Seldovia and was trying to make her way around the shore to Anchorage when she was caught in the heavy ice and. crushed.

LAUNCHES SAIL
 F0R SOUND POINTS
Take Advantage of the Fine Weather to Deliver Sup
 plies Needed at the Mines.

The Valdez Dock presented a busy sight this morning when five launches which had been detained in their reg |ular sailings on account of the cold weather and storm, were preparing to depart for the different points on Valdez Bay and Prince William sound where mines are being oper- Fated. The float was covered with ice and made the loading of the launches difficult and dangerous to the lives of the crews.
 The launch B. F. M. which had ar- rived from the Granite mine at Hobo Bay during the night, was covered with ice to depth of several inches. Capt. Swanson reported that the sup |ply Of candies for use of the miners in the underground workings had been nearly exhausted, making 1t ne- cessary for the launch to brave the storm.
 The Shamrock, carrying manager Reiter of the Alaska Mines Corpor- ation to Fidalgo bay, sailed promptly at 9:30 and several intending pas |sengers failed to connect.
 Captain Colwell, of the Elvira. who has missed several trips owing to the storm, was loaded to the guards with supplies for the Cliff mine.
 The launch Eagle, a new arrival in Valdez bay, left for Shoup bay with big outfit for mining compan- ies which are developing properties in that district.
 The Mary Lee, the Granby Mining company's launch, was also at the dock with the other small craft.
 The big piles of freight delivered to the launches by the local business houses would have proved surprise to anyone who was not acquainted with the amount of mining which is being carried on in this district and which is served by the fleet of laun- ches. The shipment included every thing from furniture to make the residents of the mining camps com fortable to dynamite with which to blast the precious mineral bearing ores from the rock.
 The owners of the launches believe that the wind storm is over for the time being and report that period of fair weather is due to last for sev- eral days. They are hoping that such is the case as none of them like to be caught away from the shelter of the Valdez Dock in storm such as that which has been raging during the past week.

INSURANCE POLICY ON . .. BAKERY WAS VOID

Rudolph Schmidt, proprietor of the Kitchen Queen bakery and restaurant who suffered the loss of his place of business. in the fire last Friday, has received advices from San Francisco stating that his insurance policy for 5000 had not been accepted and he must stand the heavier loss.
 It appears that MT. Schmidt had formerly carried policy for 5000 with the California Insurance com pany but had allowed it to lapse about two months ago. He recently decided to renew the policy and his application had been sent out about two weeks ago for acceptance by the head office in San Francisco.
 In reply to query as to whether the risk had been accepted a cable message was received yesterday |statinssthat letters had been mailed lin @Sai Efrancisco 'on January 19,7 de- |clining the risk owing to the rates having been increased in the business district on account of the great fire |of July last.

 TO GET TOURIST BUSINESS.
SEATTLE TIMES: One million

SEATTLE TIMES: One million five hundred thousand dollars may be expended in the next three years by the cities of Washington and Oregon and the Northern railroad lines in an elaborate and extensive advertising campaign to bring tour ists to the Northwest.
 Such a plan was laid recently be- fore the members of the publicity and industrial bureau of the New Chamber of Commerce by Joseph Kathrens, a Chicago advertising ex- pert, and William McMurry, general passenger agent of the Wash ington railroad and Navigation com pany, with headquarters at Portland.
 A discussion of the project which is still in the formative stage fea- tured the bureaus weekly meeting at the Butler hotel. Joseph .Blethen, chairman of the bureau, who recently returned from an extended trip East,, presided. i, ,..ss !
 The campaign, as outlined, is for the principal cities of the two states to raise the sum mentioned jointly, the railroads to furnish a large part of the money, on the ground that they would be more directly benefited by the tide of tourists the advertising Is expected to bring this way. .., :,

PREPAREDNESS FOR
 ALASKA IS FAVORED
Governor Strong Recommends Enact ment of Legislation Providing
 for Militia in Alaska.

That Governor Strong Is an advo-
 ,ate of preparedness on conservative scale is revealed in his annual report. The governor calls the attention of Secretary Lane of the Interior de- partment, to provision for B terri torial militia and points out hat the time for the organization of several companies of the Terrftorials is op- perfume. His report in this connec- tion reads as fo1ows:
 Section $50, Compiled Laws of Alaska, 1913. inter alia provides that the governor of Alaska, "shall be an ex-officio commander in chief of the militia of Alaska, and have have pow CT to call out the same when neces- sary to the execution of the laws and to preserve the peace and to cause all able bodied citizens of the United States h the Territory to enroll and serve as such when the public exig- ency demands; and shall perform gen. erally in and over the Territory, as far as the same may be made or be- come applicable thereto"
 As yet Alaska has no militia or other military organization. In 1918 the War Department decided that no useful organization of the militia in Alaska could be perfected under the existing law,, which was regarded as obsolete, and it was there recommend ed that no organization of the mfli- tia be attempted in advance of ap- propriate legislation by congress. At the same time the War Department was of the opinion that 1t was both practicable and desirable to maintain force of militia in Alaska particu- larly in the vicinity of Juneau The matter seems to have rested there for no effort has been made to remove the obstacle referred to by the de- partment in the way of organizing the Territory and to extend it to the provisions of the act approved Janu- ary 21, 1903, ito promote the eff ciency of the militia, etc." I have therefore to recommend that such legislation be enacted in congress as will make 1t possible to organize and maintain force of militia in Alaska. The time seems to be opportune for such organization. And if this is done a force of militia 1000 or more in number can be enrolled whose per sonnel would comprise men of pre- vious experience in the militia of diff ferent states and who are now season. ed Alaskans.
