Is up to U. S. Court

The United States Supreme Court will uphold the law passed by tho Alaskan Legislature assessing a H. cense tax on industries for Territor- ial revenue in the belief of George B. Grlgsby, newly elected attorney general of the Territory. Mir. Grigs- by. who has been spending the holi- days in San Francisco, is at the Se- attle Hotel, on his way to Juneau, says the Seattle Post Intelligencer of January 9th.
 When the Alaskan legislature be- gan looking around for means of raising revenue 1t found that eQuita- bIe assessment of the vast lands would be virtually impossible, and decided to tax industry, as &:d the United States government for federal revenue. Certain interests, however, attacked the measure and carried 1t to the supreme court, If this meth cd is declared illegal Alaska will have to levy on her real and person al property.
 The Alaskan canvassing board will meet to determine definitely whether Charles A. Sulzer. Democrat, has been elected over James Wickersham, be- tween January 16 and January 20 according to Mir. Grigsby. At last reports Mir. SuIzer was leading by few votes, with several precincts yet to come in.

Two Vital Propositions Face AlaSkanS Says George Grigsby
 in Seattle.
WITRHoLDS EXPRESSION
Problems for Securing Money for Support of the Schools
 Considered.

Whether the Alaska Territorial Legislature has power to make oper' ative a dry law" in accordance with the wishes of the voters expressed at the last general election. and whether there will be available some $500 900 awarded the territory from license taxes by a decision of the Federal Court in Alaska and con cured in by the circuit court of ap' peals at San Francisco. are two sub iects of vital interest to Alaskans just now. says the Seattle Times of January g. Both of those have to do with the support and maintenance of the schools in the Territory.
 George B. Grigsby, newly elected attorney general of Alaska, who is now in Seattle on his way north. de- clined today to give an expression, but said. however, that the tax cases are now before the United States Supreme Court on application for writs of certiorari.
 Alaska Opinions Differ
 The Alaska Legislature will con- vene March 5. At present all the money from the saloon licenses in incorporated towns goes to the sup port of the schools therein. Some Alaskans assert that the Legislature has the power to ratify the vote of the people and enact a dry law while others declare that the Legis' lature has no power over liquor IL censes and that it will be necessary to obtain an act O Congress before Alaska can be made dry on January 1, 1918.
 No matter by which process Alaska is made dry, however, the problem of raising money from oth' CT sources for the support of the schools in the incorporated towns 1t is said, will remain. Under the present system schools outside of in- corporated towns are maintained by the federal government, 30 per cent, of the federal occupation tax going into the Alaska school fund for that purpose. Last year the Territorial Legislature passed q uniform school law" which was declared void by the United States attorney general as in conflict with the federal schoo! law. outside of incorporated towns,
 The Legislature also passed a reye' nue law levying occupation taxes against all canneries and mines and other industries. which Judge Jen' n!ngs. of Juneau, in the federal di' vision, declared valid, and it is this act. which is is now up before the United States supreme court, and which. if upheld, will give the Ter ritory more than $5OO,OOO for the support of schools, the building oi roads. and other purposes.
 Mir. Grigsby said he did not believe there would be much mining legisla' ton this coming session. The March term will be the first time there has been an attorney general to work with and advise the Legislature.

MAKING REAL history.

1
History, big history, is making fast
In l.ussia. The news that came out
of that Empire few days ago is more
significant than that of any develop
ment Of the worlds affairs in recent
years, aside from the great war itself
The Russian government has been
revolutionized. The worm of democ.
| racy has finally and suddenly turned
and overthrown autocracy. The alb.
| dication of the Car has been forced I;
| tho despised Duma has seized the
| reins and through an executive com.
mittee OF its own is administering the
government.
1t has come much sooner than ex.
pected by the outside world. There
were those wac expected to see a
liberal movement in Russia after the
close Of the war, but there were not
many even =, " ~ sthess Who sRgeated to
see that movement sq9sdsssful for
years yse .yrhat it:has come almost
ip d tvinkAng; that 1t has succeeded
before Il was known outside 81 Rus
STA that It had begun; and that its
success was at the cost of compare
lively so little bloodshed, attests how
ripe for 1t the country was.
More than twenty years ago when
the Gar, who has just abdicated, sue
Exceeded to the sthrone. hopes. of lib
eralized Russia were kndled But
such hopes were soon blighted Mich.
olas. whatever may have been his per.
sonal predictions, was a weakling
and was not long in demonstrating
that he was completely in the grip of
the corrupt political and religious des-
potism which has made the very name
of Russia synonymous with all that is
abhorrent to a free people. Nicholas
soon showed that his reign was not
to DO an Improvement on that of his
predecessor. his ono obsession being,
instead of working to such an inn
provement, to save his own skin from
the assassin. His gesture toward a
recognition of the demand for more
liberal conditions took the form of
| the establishment of nominal parlia-
mentary government in 1906; but that
this was merely a feint was exposed
within two months after the assem-
| bling of the first Duma, which he sum-
marily dissolved because it was not
| 10 his liking, or the liking OF his mas.
| ters, treating its successor to like
fate because Il refused to expel mem.
| bers that he did not regard friendly to
himself and his ideas of a Cars pow.
| er and his subjects powerlessness.
From the day of its establishment un.
til this, the Duma. iiussia's alleged
concession to democracy, has always
been mere puppet of the throne,
The present puppet last week sought
to snuff out between his thumb and
finger, as he has snufed out the 9th
ers whenever he chose. but this time
he merely snufled himself ont. The
Duma, instead of dissolving, dissolved
the autocracy, set up its own govern
ment, arrested the reactionaries OF
the throne and threw into prison the
pro-Prnssians who from the first have
been as thick MS thieves among the
ruling powers Of nation in a death
grapple with Prussia.
