GOVERNOR BONE AND PARTY ARRIVE AT CORDOVA AFTER
 TRIP THROUGH INTERIOR

Governor Scott C. Bone and Sur veyor General Karl Thiel arrived in Cordova last night from a trip to the interior, having gone from Valdez to Fairbanks and then to Nenana. They returned to Chitina over the government trail and visit ed Mccarthy and Kennecott, being cordially received and royalty en- tertained by the residents of all the towns visited.
 Governor Bone expressed his ap- preCiation of the cordial manuer in which he has been received by all Alaskans and hopes to be able to secure some constructive legislation for the development of the territory. He says that he has good reasons to know that the government at Wash
 nEton is interested in Alaska and has a more sympathetic attitude to- ward this northland than ever be- fore in its history. He continued:
 This official interest has had it's inevitable effect on the general pub. lie Alaska is in the public eye, and the press of the whole country is devoting columns of space to Alas kan subjects.
 With this nationwide interest both official and popular, it Is certain that congress will give the territory the treatment to which it is entitled and this means that all obstacles to general prosperity in Alaska will soon be removed.
 The outlook for legislation fav- Orable to the territory has uever been better The Cummins bill pro viding for the simplification of Alas kan administration. was recently in troduced in the senate and l am posi- tive that the measure will be success ful-congress will pass either this bin or one so closely akin to it that there will be uo substantial differ ence between the two, ,
 once the government of Alaska has been simplified. the greatest step will nave been made toward a rehabilitation of the territory. Alas ka in the past has been governed largely by bureaus-anI any one conversaut with Alaskan affairs can appreciate the benefits which will ac- crue to the territory once these bu- reaus are supplanted by a central simplified government
 I'm taking u2 this work just as I would a business proposition" he declared and I'm going to give it the very best that 1 have in me. As a matter of fact that's just what Alaska is-a business proposition. With it's as yet. unscratched treas ury of resources and its vast area there's not a bigger business pro- position to be found on the whole con tinent-or the world, for the matter of that
 "I am convinced that a new era is about to dawn upon Alaska-and you may rest assured that I will do my utmost to speed the day when the sun of prosperity will shed its be- nignant rays into every nook and corner of the territory"

CHIEF JUSTICE TAFT
MUST PAY INCOME TAX

Chief Justice Taft becomes the head
of the United States supreme Court
when II reconvenes next October, but
several of the Associate Justices will
have "the edge" on him when ii comes
to income taxes.
Under a recent decision OF the court
the Government cannot compel the
Federal Judges and the Justices of
the Court to pay income taxes IL they
were appointed before the enactment
OF the income tax law. IL was held
that the tax diminishes their salary
while in office, in violation Of pro-
visions OF the Constitution.
But the inference left by the deci-
sion was that those Justices appointed
after the law was enacted must pay
the tax, since, while their salary as
provided by law might be cut. IL
would not be diminished while they
were in office.
Under this view Mr.. Taft's salary
OF $4,000 will be taxed. whether
this is legal has not been directly
tested in the court but may be brought
there by some Federal Judge recently
appointed. Mr.. Taft will be the first
Chief Justice 10 pay tax.
