CANNERY CREWS HOLD UP
 SAILING- TAKEN SOUTH ON
 REGULAR PASSENGER LINER

There was recently a queer strike to the westward, the principals, scv- cral hundred canncrymen, just having reached Seattle from Unalaska ac- cording to advices from there. The cannerymen were employees of Libby, McNeil & Libby, over at Libbyville and nearby points.
 The case of these cannery hands is pcruliar one. They were sent north as passengers and members Of the crew of the ship Abner Coburn, but shortly after arriving at the can nery point they went on one of the most peculiar strikes on record, at least so it appears from rne more or less meager accounts so far received here.
 The fishing season proved faiI urc, and the ship Abner Coburn was prepared to return to Seattle, talk ;ng down all hands. When it came sailing time, every member of the crew, officers excepted, refused to sail the ship. claiming she was un- seaworthy. The Libby company then called in a board of mariners, mas ters of ships in the vicinity, who sur- veyed the ship, and declared her in firSt-clasS condition.
 Even this did not Sactsry the men. and the captain of United States revenue cutter was sent to the scene and he likewise pronounced the Co., burn scaworthy, still the men refused to man the vessel. They demanded steamship transportation .o Seattle This resulted in the arranging for the Victoria to call at Unalaska to pick them up. in the meantime the Coburn will be lowed to Seattle by the Steam ship Cordova.

FIND OUT WHAT
 EARTH Is MADE OF
 AT THE WESTWARD
< H

What composcs the inside of tn" earth?
 This is question which modern science has been unable to answer but National Geographic Society expedition, headed by pr. Robert F. Griggs, which has just returned to Seattle from Alaska. has made pro gress towards the answer according to it's chief, says the Times.
 The party has been in the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes, at the foot of Mount Katmai, in Western Alas ka since April and has returned with a store of scientific data and speci- mems and photographs which Dr. Griggs says are better and more complete than they had hoped to ob- tain. The gases and vaporS issuing from hot springs and gcySers prompt ed Dr. GriggS to give the valley trs name. He is convinced however, he says. that there are nearer ten million than ten thousand smokes in thas scenic region.
 "Thc purpose of our expedition to the Northland," said Dr. GriggS, twas to study volcanoes, principally Mount Katmai and the Valley Of Ten Thousand Smokes. This was our fourth annual trip.
 We have samples of volcanic gases in crustaecouS form which we believe when studied in the labora- tory will throw some light on what composcs the inside of the earth. Of course wc cannot expect to maE" very rapid progress in answering this question which has been a poseF for the entire scientific world,
 "We discovered a fine harhoT oa Amalik bay, thhty-Gve miles fron. the Valley Of Ten Thousand Smokes. I think it is feasible to construct g road from this harbor to the valley and when that is done the regioN will be easily accessible, President Wilson has proclaimed national monument in the valley which will no doubt attract many tourists in the years to come. North of the val ley is q scenic region which aboundS in game and fish"
 Dr. GriggS, who is professor O. botany at the Ohio State University discovered and named the Valley or Ten Thousand Smokes in 1916. The National Geographic Society has sent expeditions there every summer since and Dr. Griggs has headed them al with the exception of the one last yea when war work kept him home.
 F.. C. Kolb, motion picture photo grapher of Grand Canyon fame was 2 member of the expedition and exposed 10000 feet of film. He is enthusiastic over the scenic wonders of the region but was able to do photographic worE only at rare intervals.
 "Rcx Beach in one of his Alask' stories" said Mir. Kolb, "told how thu wind blew so hard that it sent rocks hurtling at the natives with such for ce that it killed them. Well l nevel saw a wind quite like that, but l have stood up in an airplane going 1O' miles an hour and I never experiences wind in the air like that in Alaska And how it did rain, day after day None of my film has been developed Some of it was exposed five month ago, but I am hoping for the best"

The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-04-06

dle classes consume nearly 40 per cent more tea and sugar than the unskilled laborer class, and if an addition is made | in respect of confectionery, condensed
 milk and mineral waters it would prob ably be equal to 50 per cent
 The sugar duty has been raised to Sl.25
 per cwt, 14 times its pre-war figure. The consumption of alcoholic liquors lends itself to budgeting less than does tobacco, as it is a point on which people
 are most sensitive.
 Tn the year 1904, the average working | class family contributed to the revenue | in respect of the taxation of alcoholic I liquors, s15; a lower middle class family | s20 and & family of the income tax pay | ing class a sum of $70.
 During the past year the conditions of supply were wholely artificial, and there are no data of any kind as 10 the com parative consumption of alcoholic liquor by the various classes of the population The present liquor duties are estimated to bring in $273,000,000 per annum. The entertainments duty is expected to pro- duce for the last year $30000,OO0
 That the amount of indirect taxation paid will vary, not only with family cir cumstances, but also with the personal habits of the individual, is obvious. The working man who does not smoke or
 consume alcoholic liquors pays, of course. , a far smaller percentage of his income Tn taxation than his less apsteHlouS neighbor.
 Under the British system of indirect taxation, the classes with the smallest incomes pay a larger proportion of them in contributions to the revenue than the
 classes immediately above them. The
 war has about doubled the percentages
 of direct taxation paid by the working | classes. II has multiplied threefoid or
 more the taxation on earned incomes oI
 5000 and s50O0 a year, and the increase continues generally on a rising scale up to the largest incomes. Earned incomes of s1OO0O to s25, ,000 a year have sutIereu the most heavily in proportion. At the present rates Of taxatlon, anu under existing conditions, the workman
 with a family of five and an income or BIO A week, with the average consump- tion of his glass of alcohol, tobacco anu other taxed articles, pay trlfle over
 s1 a week in taxation: the workman Wltn s15 a per week pays dollar ana a quar- ter. while the man with $20 per week pays $2 per week.
 Parliament will have to discuss now far the existing system conforms to the law of justice between the various classes, and it must bear in mind that Colbert de- fined the art of taxation as consisting "in so plucking the goose as to get the largest amount of feathers with the least amount of tlissing."
