Briefly Summarized, before the as
sessment is made in 1920. il will pass
through the following stages:
FIRST The Chief Tax Statistician
will establish the value of the property
throughout the State, discovering the
unAssessed and grossly under assessed
property.
SEC0ND-A copy of his work will
be furnished the County Tax Assessor
in each County 10 the State, to be used
by the County Tax Assessor as basis
and IS a guide.
THIRD-Ths County Tax Assessor
will make the local assessment, it being
his duty to see each taxpayer 10 per-
son and each taxpayer will be given an
opportunity before the Tax Assessor.
FOURTH The assessment will 20
from the County Tax Assessor to the
County Board Of Equalization. where
the taxpayer may again appear and be
heard.
FIFfH-The assessment will 90
from the County Board of Equalization
TO the Chief Tax Statistician where
the taxpayer will again be given an
opportunity to file proof.
SlXCH-The assessment will 90
from the Chief Tax Statistician with
ois final report to the State BJard of
Equalization.
SEVENTH-The State Board Of
Equalization witt then give additional
opportunity TO the taxpayer to make.
complaints and have same passed upon.
EIGHT-The State Board will then
either hear and determine the matter
itself, or remand it to the County Board
OF Equalization for reinvestigation.
This statement is made to allay sny
fear which may be in the mind of any
taxpayer about any snapshot assess
ment being placed upon his property
without bis being given a full oppor-
tunity to be heard.

HOMETOWN HELPS.

Alaskan papers were hit hard by
the war. For the first time in the
history of the territory, points out
the Valdez Miner. higher wages
were paid printers Outside than in
Alaskan Offices. This caused an
exodus of printers. Paper stocks
went up tremendously. Freight
charges increased to an almost pro-
hibitive figure. Despite these facts,
but few papers in the territory were
forced to suspend. Nearly every
paper maintained its high standard
and gave its readers all the news
obtainab Bile, many times at loss to
the publisher. Alaskan papers com
pare favorably with those Outside.
Towns Of 500 people in the terri
tory have better papers than cities
of 5000 Outside. Outfits are bet
ter, and a better class of work is
done. To the newspapers of the
territory, Alaskans owe more than
they can repay. They have labored
increasingly to stem the tide of emf
grafton. They have boosted day
and night for localities not worth
boosting for when the patronage
they received is considered. Their
reward is not yet but soon. With
another year Alaska will come into
her own again. Mining will be re-
sumed, the big run of fish is due,
and business will be better than
ever. But to the papers of the
territory who have fought the fight
is due the credit. Every paper sent
Outside has brought returns tenfold.

TRAIL SHOULD BE KEPT OPEN

The decision Of the postoffice de-
partment to route the Iditarod win
ter mail via Cordova and Fairbanks
instead of Anchorage means the
abandonment Of the Iditarod winter
trail, which Is a matter of direct
concern TO the people Of Anchorage,
says the Anchorage Times.
No reasons for the change in
routing of the mail are advanced.
By sending it via Cordova and Fair
banks the distance it travels is in
creased several hundred miles and
the time it will be in transit will be
heightened by at least week.
The abandonment Of the Iditarod-
Seward mail trail means that the
winter travel from the Interior
camp, which in past years has been
considerable, will cease, as without
the regular operation of the mail
teams, the trail in all probability
will become impossible after the
first heavy snow. This will mean
not only a loss to the merchants of
Anchorage, but will work a hard
ship on the people of Iditarod, who,
instead of coming out over the COM
paratively short and inexpensive
trail to Anchorage, will be forced
to follow the mail route up the
Yukon river and thence to Fair
banks, which not only is equally
as difficult, but also is several times
as long and much more expensive.
1t appears to the Times that this
matter is something which should
receive the immediate attention of
the Chamber OF Commerce and such
steps taken as will, if possible, pre-
vent the abandonment of the Sew
ard-Iditarod trail.

ON ADVERTISING
(By H. NJ. d'Orsay.)

Perhaps it is not stating the mat
ter too emphatically to say that
advertising is the pulse of the times.
President Wilson, in touch with the
main arteries of the worlds CON-
merce today, puts it up to business
men as their fine conception" or
I"obligation, as looking toward the
future national development"
You will hear men say, "My work
advertises me; l don't have to ad-
ivertise."
Mark that man He lacks public
spirit. He is eager to read the
newspaper, to profit by it, whether
he be a subscriber or not.
Even the parasite, who does moth
| ing to contribute to the success Of
the public press, by advertising OF
subscription, must,-if all were as
lhe,-plunge US back into the dark
ness known to US before we ever
heard of Benjamin Franklin.
The subscriber is always a wei
come asset to a newspaper. Espe-
l.;an, =; 49, +r,,a r-loro 49, ,,;ol-
! ings are not over great. But the
live advertiser is the joy OF the
conscientious publisher, who untir-
ingly boosts his town, its people,
and their various enterprises. But
who is to encourage him? He holds
together the community, by his doc
trine of hope and courage. Per-
chance he would like a substantial
encouragement from some who de-
rive daily benefit, even though in
directly, from his comparatively
poorly paid responsibilities.
A newspaper man must be at once
public-spirited, shrewd, liberal, cos
mopolitan. But above all he must
have tact. His education, which
cost him good money; his expert
ence, likewise, is thrown into the
imelting-pot He seldom becomes
rich, though he always aids in en-
riching others.
