was to be carried out was efficient and
there was. finally, the question Of wheth-
err such law was necessary to carry
out the democratic pledge,
The democrats in the legislature who
opposed this law are wholly indicated
by the fact that while the law may have
made it possible for the tax board to
assess property at its true cash value, 1t
did mot make it compulsory and the tax
board has not generally assessed prop
erty at it's true cash value.
In substantiation of this statement
one has only to read the statement of
Gov. James p. Goodrich, Jan. %, 1920,
concerning the Union Heat, Light and
Power Company, in which he says:
1.-THE property of this company is
assessed today for at least $4,000 more
than it's true cash value"
Is Or. if the reader does not care to ac-
cept Goodrich as an authority, he has
only to read one of the dozens of COM
plants now in the courts of the state
to discover that every complaint is based
on the fact that the assessments pro-
duced by this greatest achievement since
the civil war" are greater than the true
cash value, the assessment at which is
declared by the republican committee to
be the 'plain and simple purpose of the
law.
The opposition of the democrats in the
legislature to this law needs no juftifca-
ton. They find only commendation in
the fact that it is admitted by the gov
ernor that the law has not brought
about the assessment of property at it's
true cash value, and the admission of the
republican committee that It's plain and
simple purpose" was only to make 1t
possible" for the tax board so to assess
property.

The republican state committee says
"The present tax law, passed by the
legislature of 1919 and generally opposed
by the democrats in the legislature in
spite of their own pledge and promise
contains in their platform Of 1916, un7
dcrtakes to make it possible for the re
organized state board of tax commits
sicners to assess property at its true
cash value.
"That is the plain and simple purpose
of the law"
The purpose Of the present tax law,
it has been declared previously by the
republican committee and the governor
was to revise the old law $50 that the
state shall cease to exist half free and
half taxed and that every citizen shall
contribute to the support Of the state
in proportion to the property he owns.
Here, then, is another definition, even
more limited and less in accordance with
the mandate of the constitution when
says that such laws shall be enacted SO
as to produce uniform and equal rate
of taxation"
This law, we are now informed was
enacted ito make it possible for the re-
organized state board of tax commission
ers to assess property at its true cash
value"
The republican committee complains
bitterly that the democrats in the leg
islature opposed the enactment OF TINS
law in spite of their pledge OF "sucn
legislation as may be necessary - equal
izing taxes throughout the state, ana
reducing the burden Of taxation to the
lowest possible limit"
According to the statements of the re-
publican committee itself the purpose OF
this law, "plaln and simple" was not
to provide what is necessary in equal
izing taxes throughout the state ana
reducing the burden of taxation to the
lowest possible limit but was plain and
simple, to make it possible for the re-
organized state board of tax commits
sioners to assess property at its true
cash value"
1t is not strange that the democrats IN
the 1919 legislature opposed this law. 1t
Is foolish to assert that their opposition
to this law was in opposition to their
platform pledge. The purposes were ad-
mfttedly not the same. There was a
question Of judgment as to whether the

1t is very important that every person
who becomes sick with influenza should
go home at once and go to bed. This
will help keep away dangerous cOmph-
cations and viii, at the same time, keep

but the nurse should be allowed in the

If there is cough and sputum or run
ming of the eyes and nose, care should
be taken that all such discharges are
collected on bits of gauze or rag, or pa

diarrhea, great care should be taken to
prevent spreading Of the disease through
soiling of the hands, clothing or bed
linen. Practically the same precautions
that nurse takes when attending a
case Of typhoid fever should then be in
stituted. If the patient complains of
fever and headache he should be given
water to drink, a cold compress to the
forehead and n light sponge bath.
It the patient is so situated that he
can be attended only by some one who
must also look after others in the fam

Expenditure of Million Year
On Alaska ROAD PROGRAM Abbr0ved
SAVINGS Effected

"The roads and trails already con-
structed and now being maintained
by the Commission have not only
opened up to development nearly all
sections of the Territory but have ef-
fected large savings in freight
charges. Data collected by the Com
mission in 1913 indicates that the dir
ect saving in cost of transportation
of freight during that year due to
the construction OF roads by the Com
mission was $2.144667. The total
amount expended for construction and
maintenance, 1905-1913, was $2,57S,-
SS2.71. 1t is doubtful, however, il any
thing like that amount of freight
would have been transported without
the roads and the indirect loss which
would be occasioned by the restric-
ton on output and development IL
the roads did not exist cannot easily
be estimated. The corresponding fig
ures for 1920 are not yet available
but it is expected that the showing
will be even more striking.
Must Handle Directly
Road work in Alaska cannot be
handled from Washington or Seattle.
II cannot be even handled from Jun
eau. 1t can only be handled properly
through an acquaintanceship with act
ual conditions on the ground. This
the new Board has recognized from
the beginning and both the president
and the engineer officer have SO far
spent over 80 per cent of their time
in the field. Between them they will
have visited at least once every dis
trict and every important project in
the Territory before they have been
in office six months. Plans for next
year call for repeated inspection of
the most important projects and at
least one inspection of Every piece
of work and visit to each town and
district in order to become familiar

The disbursing officer, also, will
