SUPREME COURT UPH0L.DS THE
 LICENSE ACT
The Validity of the Fish Trap Tax Was Involved and Court Decides in
 Its Favor.
HISTORY OF CASE s

WASHINGTON, March 3.-The Su- preme Court of the United States, in effect, upheld the constitutionality of the Alaska License Acts in dismiss ing for want of jurisdiction the writs of error sued out from the Supreme Court of the United States to the Circuit Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit by the Alaska Pacific Fisheries Company and by the Alaska Salmon Company The validity of the fish trap tax was involved in one of the Alaska Pacific Fisheries cases and that of the tax imposed upon the cannery business in the other. The Alaska Salmon Company case involved only the validity of the cannery tax.
 These cases were argued in Decem- Der and January last, the Attorney General, George B. Grigsby, appear ing for the Territory, and J. A. Hell lenthal representing the fisheries companies. A motion was made in each of the cases to dismiss for want of jurisdiction, all. of which motions were sustained by the Court.
 Nearly a million and one-half dol lars has been paid into the Terri

torial Treasury by cannery companies and mining companies under protest, the grounds of protest being the re- fusal of Attorney General Grigsby to carry out the terms of certain agree ment made between the cannery companies and J. H. Cobb, the Ter ritorial Counsel, by the terms of which none of these taxes were to be paid until these test cases were determined in a Court of last resort. In 1917, Attorney General Grigsby repudiated this agreement and forced the canneries to pay about $4O0, back taxes, which they did under pro- test. They also have paid the taxes for 1917 and 1918, likewise under protest.
 News of the decision at this time is especially opportune as the Ter ritory is relieved from any chance of liability to those who paid taxes under protest, and the' Legislature is assured of the validity of the li- cense tax system.
 These cases were brought originally in the District Court of the District of Alaska, First Division, and 1udg- ment for the Territory decreed by Judge Jennings, which was affirmed by the Circuit Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit The granting of the motions to dismiss by the United States Supreme Court in effect up- holds the decision of the Circuit Court of Appeals, the decision of the Supreme Court being that the judg ment of the Circuit Court of Appeals is final in these cases. Not only that, but the far-reaching effect of the dicision is that the judgment of the Circuit Court of Appeals is final in all cases from the District Courts of Alaska.

a sassafras bush a voice saying:

They went around the corner OF
the sassafras bush. and there they saw
a little house. And in the house was

crack in the floor. and l can't get IL
up again" sobbed Jillie.
