NEED FOR CHANGE IN TAX LAWS.

More than of years Congress passed occupational tax law for Alaska This law re- quires people who iii all sorts of business to pay the Federal Government each year for a license to business The proceeds of this tax goes into the Alaska Fund, and it provides considerable portion of the money used by the Alaska Board of Road Commissioners in the construction of roads in Ahe Territory. This tax law has not been overhaued or amended many shortly after it's original enactment notwithstanding that development has disclosed need for it's amendment in many particu- lars. One illustration for the need of amendment of tax of $500 year by any who may engage lighting or power purposes for sale. This is Imposed all alike regardless of the extent of their plants the business in which they may engage. Now in many places in Alaska canneries and other industries produce electric light and power for their Near these industries in many places are homes and small business houses These people would like to purchase electric current from their neghbors who produce it. The latter would be very willing to sell it, but the market is small that it will not permit the producer to pay the $500 license tax, hnd the benefit would be large enough to permit the purchasers to pay it. The result is the homes and small business houses oil lamps and hand power.
 The Alaska Organic Act specifically withholds authority to repeal amend interfere in any way with this tax law.
 All tax laws should be under the control of the people taxed They the best judges as to how revenues should be raised for local A full Ter ritoria form of government would give the people Alaska control their local taxation.

Open Diplomacy in the Pacific.
New York Post l

The formal statement by the Japanese Ambassa- dor to Washington the renewel of the treaty between Japan and Great Britain is but the latest in series of unprecedented international develop ments. When the original alliance of 1902 was an nounced there was anxious discussion it's effect upon the balance power. Everywhere the ques tion asked At whom is this partnership aimed? In the end it aimed at Germany, the dsturber of the worlds peace. An alliance which generally accepted instrument for in the Orient found it's great employment in the Arma seddon of Europe. Such the surprises of his tory How the scenes have shifted since 1902 is veaed in the fact that discussion of renewal of the alliance centers it's effect, upon the peace of the Orient, not upon the peace of the Eastern Hemisphere, but upon the peace of the world.
 How far we have moved since 1902 is shown more strikingy in the frank way in which the worlds interest in the renewal of the alliance be- tween Great Britain and Japan is recognized by the two Powers primarily concerned, For some time it has been evident that the alliance going to be renewed hastily Llyod George recently sug- gested renewal for three months ostensbly to give time for the British Imperial Conference-that s the Domnions-to consider the question. In reality this delay wouli have been arranged to give time also for the maturing of public opinion upon the matter in the United States. Suddenly the Lord Chancellor declared that the treaty had another year to run. Ehe relief which followed this decision was almost comic It if statesmen who were at a loss over how to get out of a tangle had suddenly discovered that the tangle hadn't off yet It Twas not here; it around the corner and there Twas plenty of time to devise of avoiding it. These two incidents-recognition the legitimate interest of the Dominions in the renewal of the a- ance and recognition also of the legitimate interest Of the United States-consttute definite steps for ward in international relations
 On top of all this the Japanese Amba ssa- dors momentous statement. It's most significant passage is that in which it valves the exact legal status Of arbitration arrangement between England and America and declares: Apart from that aues- tion, it was already well understood the time of negotiating the existing agreement that the alliance should in no be directed against the United States This opens the way for thorough going guarantee of the peace of the Pacific a guarantee not by Great Britain and Japan alone, but by the three Pacific Powers:. Great Britain. Japan and the United States. An opportunity for the framing of such guarantee is provided by the conference of the three nations reduction of naval armaments Better than renewal of the alliance between Grea1 Britain and Japan for each others protection would be agreement by Great Britain, Japan, and the United States for the peace of the Pacific and by so much the peace of the world
