AN IMPORTANT DECISION
Anchorage Times)

Judge E. E. Ritchie has delivered 8 decision, and, as he always does, this just judgment decided without fear or in favor. In deciding the important case of illegal voting in Anchorage Judge Ritchie has given an opinion that will be written on the tablets ot Alaska laws and should reach even to the confines of Indian reservations In any event Judge Ritchie's decision will unqestionably cause the Alaska lawmaker to pause and consider. This particular case refers to municipal el- ections.
 Judge Ritchie says:
 "There is now law in Alaska making it an offense to vote illeg- ally in a municipal election. The Alaska code adopted by congress in 1900 is silent on the subject. It prescribes qualifications of vot- CT, but fixes no penalty for illegal voting. The law governing muni- cipal corporations was amended in several respects by the legis lature of 1923, but still no penalty for illegal voting was prescribed.
 "The only law on the subject is section 27 of the direct primary law enacted by the legislature in 1917. It makes illegal voting at any election crime. The court held this provision ineffective as to municipal voting because it is buried in the law for primary elections. The organic act says the legislature can pass a low on only one subject at time, which must be expressed in title. The title of this law of 1917 is an act

providing for Primary Elections"

providing for Primary Elections"
 The action of Judge Ritchie in sus- taining the defendants demurrer m the case of the United States vs. Ar thur Lehreux on the grounds that the indictment did not state suffiflent grounds to constitute crime IS ot the very first importance.
 By his action, Judge Ritchie virtual lv states that there is no municipal el- ection law in Alaska which voter is bound to respect; and the action of the district attorneys office in dis missing all of the other cases against persons charged with illegal voting ln Alaska at the recent municipal elec- tion is conclusive proof that the gov ernment fully agrees with Judge Rlt- chie's opinion. Attorney J. $. Trultt' counsel for Lehreux, made a very aole argument and presented an exhaustive brief in support of his contentlon' which justly won it's point.
 It is now up to the incoming law makers of Alaska to enact a law at the next session fthe legislature, which will cover municipal elections. This question is equally as important as the literacy bill which will also be a bone of contention.
 In the meantime it is suggested that Aschorage voters study the different candidates for legislative honors and demand an expression on these ln- portant questions.

GREAT FISH CENTER
 WILL BE AT KODIAK

From all information received, the New England Fish company not only plans the installation of a cold storage plant at Kodiak, for the halibut indus try, but will likewise install a herring saltery, mild cure plant and smok- cry for curing fish, as we'll as an up- to-date salmon cannery, say a recent issue of the Alaskan.
 The company has already secured from the U. s. Bureau of fisheries, permits for the various phases of the fishing industry, with the exception of the salmon cannery.
 c. Benners a prominent engineer, connected with the New England Fish Company, who spent considerable time in Kodak recently, has made his re- DOT; 70 the general manager ot the clg concern, A. L. Hager, and has drawn up preliminary sketches of what he thinks should serve the company's pur- pose.
 The probable site for the cold <tor- age plant has already been sur7eyed' and is ojU feet by 3o0 feet. It IS tf- ported that i; will be the largest pint on this coast, costing around one aAd enc half million aa!ltrs.
 These various o'ants, modern IT, every way, will make Kodiak one of the big fishing ccnters of Alaska.

U. s. VICE CONSUL
 ADMITS TOOK BRIBE

WASHINGTON, D. C., June IA David c. Kerr, American vice-consul at Vancouver, B. C., admitted he had accepted money to influence his decis- ion in granting passports to barred Chinese seeking admission into this country, it was brought about in a preliminary hearing before a United States commission here Saturday.
 A written confession by Kerr to the Consul General, that he was hard-up for funds and had accepted bribes in some cases, was introduced in evi- dence.
 J. Fred Ganders, who said he was a notary public, but who, evidence showed, was acting in the capacity of a labor agent, testified that he gave Kerr $50 at a secret meeting in a Vancouver Chinese Cafe to get Kerr to issue passports to Chinn Jan Yuen, who was inadmissable.
 Kerr was released on S5,000 bond pending 9 grand jury investigation of his case. He was arrested Thursday on charges of bribery and malfeasance in office, preferred by Consul General Norton.

METHOD BY WHICH
 TAXPAYERS WILL
 CALCULATE PAYMENT

WASHINGTON, D. C., June IA Treasury officials toady explained the method by which taxpayers would cal culate their next payments on June 15, which are due tomorrow.
 Instead of permitting the taxpayer to take p per cent reduction on his 1923 taxes in lump by emitting the June installnent ,the new plan pro- videc for a scheme which will not make hole in treasury receipts at this time. The method is as follows.
 The taxpayer has the option of pay ing his taxes in full, and if he did on March 15 he will receive a credit of one-fourth. If he pays his taxes in quarterly installments, he will be all lowed on his June 15 paymen credit of one-fourth for that payment and one-fourth for tho payment he has made in March. In other words, the one-fourth reduction of 1923 taxes will be allowed in four equal parts, but in view fthe fact that tho March pay ment is past, the taxpayer will get credit of two-fourths of his installment in June Thus a taxpayer who had tax bill of S1 ,00O to pay and who paid $500 on March 15 last would ordinar- fly have to pay another $500 on June 15, but instead he will be permitted to deduct $75 for the payment he made in March and S75 for the credit which he is allowed in June or $50 so that he will actually pay only S150 in June. When the September payment comes he will deduct only $75 from his $500 bill, so that the net payment will be $225. On December 15 he will deduct the remaining S75. In this way the government permits the taxpayer to take the full one fourth reduction in four equal parts and the revenues com ing into the treasury are not serious ly disturbed. The whole thing may be reduced to a formula by taking one half cf what was paid in March and subtracting it from what would ordi- nar.ly be pain in June.

TAKE IN THE EXCURSION
 TO FAIRBANKS JUNE 19

Seward has been allotted 25 tickets for the Midnight Sun Festival excur- sion to Fairbanks, and so far but two tickets have been sold. General Man ager Landis of the railroad has work ed hard to make the affair a success and should meet with more encourage ment than is apparent up to the pres ent. It is true that everyone in Sew ard is unusually busy at this time, ow- ing to the building boom; the run of fish and other things, but 25 persons who have never been to the interior could have mighty good time by join ing this excursion. The fare is so cheap it is a mere trifle, BPS for the round trip, one fare in fact, and the opportunity may never come again. Anchorage has taken 75 tickets. Let's get in and take up our quota.

FOREST SERVICE ROAD
 FUND IS INCREASED

The annual supply bill covering all Federal Highway construction for the fiscal year 1925, has been approved by the President and carries S4 100000 in appropriations and an additional au- thoriation for S6,O00,O00, according to Forester c. H. Flory of Juneau. This is somewhat larger than had been ex- pected and will add few thousands to both appropriations and authoriza- tions for the Forest Road Funds in Alaska, it was said.
 The allotment, it is estimated, to AL aska, out of the new appropriation will be S42S,753. Under the additional amount for authorizations, Alaska will probably be allowed approximately $231,756

WOMEN POLICE TO GUARD
 NEW YORK FROM WASHERS

NEW YORK, une 14-One of the many problems New York's police force will face during the democratic convention will be to rid the city of characters known in police vernaculal as "crashers," and "mashers." This task has been assigned to Captain M. Hamilton, director of the feminine blue coats. A crasher is a person ,male or female, who craves excitement, com pany and entertainment, and not hav ing the funds or connections necessary for a legitimate satisfaction of the craving becames addicted to polite "sponging."
 The chronic crasher or masher, ac cording to Captain Hamilton, are all ways seen at large public functions, political demonstrations, banquets, and art exhibits, etc. They dress we'll. Their manners are irreproachable. The crashers are to all appearances, the acme of culture and refinment. In fact they sometimes outshine the company they keep in those respects. Captain Hamilton knows dozens of them.
 Strangely enough, the crashers are mostly women. But that other bane of the metropolis, the masher, is usually a male, as Captain Hamilton testifies and as police court records bear ample witness. Sometimes we call them crashers, she explained. 'sWe also know themhowever, as chow-chasers, or out siders, or -pickers."

FORMER GERMAN NAVAL
 OFFICERS ARE FARMERS

KEEL, Germany, June 14-Former German naval officers to the number of 145 have become farmers. The land apparently has had a stronger call than might have been expected in the case of seafaring men. Eight of these officers became farmers in for eign lands, and the remainder are in the German Republic. They are said to be happy.
 There were 2,800 commissioned of ficers in the German navy when the war began. Of these 647 were killed and 462 were retained in the navy which consists now of only slight coast defense. Consequently 1,691 of ficers had to seek new vacations. One officer only got foreign naval job; he became a commander in the Para guayan navy.
