Validity of TerritOry'S Li- CenSe Law Means Much in Way of
 Legislation
TWO YEARS TAXES DUE
Companies Affected Had Agreed on the Manner of Payment Before
 Case Went Up

WASHINGTON-Jm 15 (By MailJ Alaska Territorial license tax laws upon fishing and mining corporations were put into effect by supreme court ruling today Appeals in test suits from the lower courts decree5 upholding the territorial legislatures tax acts were dismissed
 The decision of the supreme court in upholiing the Territorial courts in he taxation cases generally pleases Alaskans, because of the fact that < means a guarantee of Gn additional income to the territory of nearly $500. poo annually. This incomc from the sanncry tax of from 1 10 4 cents a ease on salmon, a galtery tax of 2l& cents per loo pOnuls of fish, a fish trap tax of $1OO per year an a gill net tax of Sl for each 100 feet, as well as a mining tax of l per cent of the net income in excess Of 5000. Contested By Miners and Fishermen.
 The suit was commenced by repre-. seutatiyes of mining and fishing in- terests at Juneau, following the demand of the territorial officials for taxes as imposed by the Legis. laturcs of 1913 and 1915. The com. panies admitted the factG and the amounts due in tho tes. cases, and the territory agreed Co accept taxes and accrued interest at the rate of s per cent per year and waive en- rOrcements Of the penalties provid. ed by law in case the decision re. suited favorably to the territory.
 Penalties in the statutes for non- payment of taxes include 10 per cent. interest charge as a fine, with each month separate offense.
 Claimed 1t Additional Tax.
 Fish packers and mining men who objected Co the payment of the ter. ritorial tax did so on the ground that it was an additional tax, as they were already paying q federal tax. Their point was that the Organic Act which Was passed by Congress ini 1912, and which gave Alaska her Ter. ritOrial form of government, specifi- Caly provided that the territory should not legislate on fish or fur laws. The act of 1906, which exempt. ed the salmon canneries from the fed 1 eral tax of cents a cacc, by the re- lease of salmon fry from private ! hatcheries, also was brought into the case, because it specified that the federal tax shall be in lieu of all other license fees and taxes"
 Contention of eTrritcry.
 The territory contends that the or. sanic act, passed in 1912. should mot operate 10 prevent the legislature rom imposing other end additional !. licenses and taxes" The territorial !. point of view was that this section )f the law repealed the act Of 1906 Il md made cannerics and mining com ,anieg liable for a territorial tax which would be other and addi- ionar to the federal tax.
 The first territorial tax imposed in SIS on the fisheries provided for 2

cents case on sockeye and king sal mon, and F cent a case on hump back, cohoe and chum salmon. The tax law of 1915, which superseded that of 1913, provided for 4 cents a case on king, socEeye or red sal. mon, 2 cents case on medium reds and 1 cent a case on all others, be. sides the saltcry, fish trap and gill net taxes.
 Will Yield Half a Million.
 Estimates of the income from the tax to the territory place the revenue from the mines at ab5ut $25O,OOO per year, with S175,OOO from the fisheries and about S75,OOO from all other business and manufacturing plants taxable under the territorial law.
 The appeal of the cases from the district court the First Division of Alaska to the circuit court Of ap peals at San Francisco was taken by John Cobb, territorial counsel, last year. The casc5 were continued and fought out in the supreme court by George B. Grigsby, atsorncy-general elect and present counsel for the territory.

THIEVES AND MURDER

The American thief is potential murderer and great many of him so the limit of possibility The English thief is an undesirable character, but he a most takes human life The difference between the two is easily accounted for The American thief always armed with revolver or pistol The English thief has only his hands.
 The place to remedy this thing is at the source. The mdiscriminate sale of reyolvers may be stopped and he traffic regulated exactly as We now regulate the sale Of pOsons and nabitformng drugs. Result: Those who need revolyers will have them and the public will be relieved of the peril which the armng of criminals subjects it to-

SAYS MINERS WERE NOT
 OPPOSED TO THE TAX

SEATTLE, Jan. 1G.-B. l.. Thane, general manager of the Alaska-Gas- tineam Mining Company, who is in Seattle on his way to Juneau, after spending two months vacation in California, said Monday that the min ing interests in general had not op. posed Co the territorial tax, says the Post-Intelligcncer
 I've felt that the members of the territorial legislature recognized the importance of the mining industry in Alaska" he said "and were sure that they would treat us fairly The fish ing interests, however felt that they were being doubly taxed. The taxa ton laws had certain faults. The mat. ter was appealed to the supreme court by the fishing interests more in order to find out where they were at than for any other reason"

HAMILTON WRIGHT MABIE

The motto of Hamilton Wright Mabie associate editor of The Outlook who has just passed away al the age Of 70 years, might well have been that borne on the crest of the Prince of Wales 'T serve" man of literary gifts, high scholarship and great personal charm, he held the endowment of heredity and the equipment of experience as riches in trust for those who needed what these things might be made to yield.
 Not for him "the philosophers life in the quiet woodland ways" not for him the solitary gratfca- tiOns of the literary epicure To few men of his generation has it fallen to emulate his service in putting the highest and best things in the thought and feeling and purpose of his time at the disposal of the young. the toildriyen and the impoverished of opportunity His faith in the response of the common to masterpieces and master personalities has enriched the life and thought of his generation
