MINES GET BEST OF FISHERIES,
 HICKMAN SAYS
Ex-Senator Says Tax Burden
 Discriminates Tn Favor ...l, Of Mine Companies.

That the fisheries industry is be ing compelled to bear too large a percentage of the taxes in Alaska. particularly in comparison with the amount of taxes paid by the mining companies, is the belief of former Senator J. R. Heckman. In a state ment prepared this morning the form CT legislator from Ketchikan calls attention to the fact that the fish cries pay more than three-fifths of the taxes Of the Territory, and their taxes are payable whether they make q profit or not, while the mines are required only to pay tax of one per cent of their net incomes. In his statement, former Senator Heck man says:
 for 1921 and 1922 are estimated at $558,520 per year, out of which the fisheries are to pay $357 800
 With the exception of one or two fishing companies the fisheries lost more in 1920 than they made during 1918 and 1919. The estimated loss to the fisheries in Alaska for 1920 is $10,000,000 and in the face of this the revenue bill just passed incroas- es the taxes on Fisheries $149,0O
 "As the bill now stands the fish cries are to pay $357,S00, also a Fed eral tax of four cents per case and all the mines in Alasak are to pay but $4O,O00 no increase over previous years. The kennicott and the Chi chagoff have made millions; either one of them I consider is worth as much as all the Fisheries in Alaska. and all the taxes they pay under our license system is one per cent of the NET PROFITS over $5,000'
 The statement contains a schedule Of the net profits of the Kennecott md Chichagoff mines, showing the profits of the former have run from s2,339,92S, with tax of S22,309.2S. in 1919, to profit of $22,322,26S with a tax Of $221,3226S in 19l6. The profits Of the Chichagoff ran from $462,52O in 1916 to $1.O77.74S with a tax of $4,625 and $10,777.43 respectively.
 Speaking of the loss of the can ueries last year, former Senator Heckman says:
 Some may doubt as to what the canneries losses were. will take one of the small canneries. which made a DrOfit of Seo OoO Juino 1Q1c out of which they paid s40,ooO ex, cess profit taxes, leaving profit of s22,0oO. During 1920 this company has lost $75000 and is now practi- eally broke. and mary others are Tn the Iame condition"

sion, for the various other phases Of

Shades Of ancient decorumi Time was
when such a rule would have been met
with keen resentment by the young
women because of the reflection it cast
on their character. Now various and
sundry young women will probably
receive the edict with resentment but
for another reason, because they con-
slider it an encroachment on their per-
sonal liberties. For It's said that the
habit of smoking by women students
in the University of Chicago has,
among some, become excessive; and it
is proposed by the university authori-
