CALLAHAN OPPOSES
 REFORM VOTE BILL

JUNEAU, Mar 15-Interest in the Foster literacy test deepened yesterday when the house committee brought in an adverse report, signed by Representatives Dan Callahan and Decker. Representative Shep. pard, the third member of the com mittee, refused to sign the report, and made a strong recommendation for the passage of the bill. He de- clared the bill offered the only means of remedying the evil of mass voting among the illiterate Indians at territorial elections, whose number he placed al a thous- and. These Indians he pointed out, control the balance of voting pow CT and having but a vague know ledge of our institutions and gov ernment, lend themselves readily to the machinations of political charl- atans.n He called the attention of the lawmakers to the delegate con tests in which Sulzer and Wicker sham were involved and in both of which the point of difference was the question of the legality of the Indian votes.
 The bill was made a special or der of business for Friday morn ing.
 Governor Bone asked the legis- lature for a deficiency appropriation of S4,500 for the Pioneers home.
 Representative Ross has introduc- ed a memorial asking that fifteen per cent of the Alaska fund be al- loted for use in caring for indi- gents, instead of the ten per cent now available, and the reversion of such money at the end of the ifs cal year instead of quarterly.

CALLAHAN OPPOSES MEASURE TO REGULATE VOTING
TAX ROLL IS COMPLETED;
 RATE TO BE FIXED SOON

The city tax roll for the year 1923, which was prepared by Asses sor C. D. Leckie, was turned over to the council at the regular meet ing on Tuesday night, and it was decided by the aldermen to meet in special session next Tuesday for the purpose of reviewing the work of the assessor and fixing the amount of the tax levy. The pro- perty values, as shown by the roll, are somewhat under those of last year, while the demands upon the city treasury during the coming fiscal year will be greater by con- siderable amount than was the case last year, owing to the fact that the council will have to provide funds for the maintenance of the Franklin K. Lane school. The school was maintained last year on funds which had accumulated in the school board treasury prior to the incor- poration of the city.
 T. Is the opinion of several of of the councilmen that 1t will be necessary to increase the tax levy 10 meet the additional demands up- on the treasury but it is their de- sire to avoid such action if possible. It IS expected the school budget will be ready for presentation to the council at the next meeting. in the absence of which it is impossible 10 estimate the probable cost of running the city during the year.
 The council has kept well with in it's revenues during the last year and the present board will retire next month leaving a substantial balance in the treasury, aside from the earnings of the public utilities held in reserve to carry the department over lean periods and to meet possible demands for re- pairs.
 The finance committee reported having reached an agreement with Manager Donaldson, of the Healy River Coal Corporation, for the set clement of all claims against the city for service rendered by the corporation during the time it was in control of the utilities for the sum of $500, and the agreement was ratified by the council.
 The city was authorized to loan the School Board the sum of sl,0O0 until such time as school funds can be received from the territorial treasury. .: "
 In preparation for the coming municipal election, to be held on April 3, the council appointed the following judges and clerks to off ciate at the fire hall, where the ballots will be cast; James Lavin, Mrs. R. ". Calderhead, Theo. Thompson, Parke L. Stump, and Mrs. John Wahlgren, with Mrs. W. H. Gilcher as alternate.
 It was reported to the council that Clerk B. Tunnison of the School Board, has announced his intention of retiring from the board on the first of April, which will necessitate the election of two can- didates instead of one, as previous ly announced

more probable that he found his own

able. There is every indication in
Washington that Mr.. Wilson expects

Skeleton View of New Curtiss
Pursuit Plane, Showing Metal
Construction.

The test performance Of a new
Curtiss Pursuit Plane has caused a
sensation in the Army and Navy ser
vices. Ever since the Pulitzer Race
at Detroit, in which a new all-Ameri-
can motor finished in the first four
places, it has been expected that
military planes Of a super-type would
make their appearance at almost any
time. The actual performance Of the
first pursuit ship of a series surpasses
expectation.
In many respects, this aeroplane is
a departure from precedent. 1t uses
the same Curtiss motor used in the
racing ships at Detroit. 1t is equipped
with wing radiators, the most radical
advance in the art Of cooling a motor
since 1917, and which reduces the
resistance Of the air almost to zero.
These features were expected. The
construction, however, is said to pos
sess. also, a new feature, in that the
entire machine can be stored for g
