HOME RULE FIGHT
LOOMS WHEN TAX
REFORM is URGED
Goodrich and Murphy Cross
Swords Over Question Of
Capitalization,

A 'thorne rule" storm was breaking
today over recommendations of the
State Chamber of Commerce for tax
reform. The recommendations favor
centralized power to control taxation
The controversy started at dinner
given by the organization Thursday
night at the Indianapolis Athletic Club
when the recommendations were pre-
scented.
The controversy was started by
James P. Goodrich, former Governor,
who. after the recommendations had
been presented, characterized home
rule" as rot" He declared that some
of the very men who were espousing
the recommendations were opposing
them in 1917.
The former Governor opposed cleo
ton Of assessors declaring there
would be no fair assessments until
assessors are appointed.
Capitalization Defended
Goodrich was followed by Charles j.
kiurphy. vice president of the State
Savings and Trust Company. He de-
clared Capitalization is a fatal mis-
take.
Philip Zoercher, member of the tax
board undertook to defend central1za-
ton.
Men of my party have lied about
the tax law until I'm tired. he said.
What is your party?" Murphy
asked.
II am Democrat and as good
one as you" Zoercher shouted. He
/ declared the tax law embodies recon-
mendations made by the Marshall and
-Ralston administrations.
Recommendations reported by the
committee were adopted with some
changes The most notable change
was elimination of the section rec
ommending annual assessment of real
estate.
Education Urged
The section approving State in
come tax also was modified so that
the tax was approved merely in prin-
: ciple. Other new sections urged
equality of assessment and advocated
publication of synopsis of the pres
ent tax laws to be used in a CAM
paign of education.
The recommendations were dis
cussed in detail by DR.. William A.
Rawles of Indiana University, a mem
Der Of the committee which made the
recommendations.
He showed how the per capita ex-
penditure of public money in Indiana
increased from s14.03 in 1902 to s4s. 40
in 1922. On the basis of the same
price level as applied in 1902, the per
capita expenditures in 1922 would
have been 1929, he showed.
"Tnefficiency and Dishonesty"

large expenditures required for the le-
Ultimate purposes of government, the
aggregate should be increased because

I DIR. Rawles said
Z No form of organization budgetary

Indifferent or 'venal. The ultimate fate

there should be alternate guns from the American and Russian batter ies, thus giving the flag of each na- tion a double national salute; the national salute being thus answered inthe moment it was given.
 The troops being promptIy form ed were brought 10 a present arms at precisely three-thirty, the sigma given to the ''Ossippee' (Lieut Crossman, executive officer or tue ship, and for the time in command), which was to fire the salute, and the ceremony was begun by lower ing the Russian flag. AS it began | it's descent down the flagstaff the battery of the "Ossipee," with large lnine-inch guns, led off in the salute, peal after peal crashing and re- echoing in the gorges Of the sur rounding mountains, answered by the Russian water battery Ga bat tery on the wharf,, firing alternate ly. But the ceremony was inter- rupted by the catching of the Rus sian flag in the ropes attached to the flagstaff. The soldier who was lowering it, continuing to pull at it, tore off the border by which it was Iattached, leaving the flag entwined Lightly around the ropes. The flag staff was a native spruce, perhaps ninety feet in height. In an instant the Russian soldiers, taking differ ent shrouds attached to the flag staff, attempted to ascend to the flag, which having been whipped around the ropes by the wind, re- mained tight and fast. In a short time boatswain's chair had been
 made by knotting a rope to make a Hoop for a man to sit in and be pull ed upward and another Russian SOL Idier was quickly drawn up to the flag. On reaching it he detached it from the ropes, and not hearing the calls from Captain Pestchouroff be-
 low to bring it down." dropped it
 below, and in its descent it fell on the bayonets of the Russian soldiers. IThe United States flag (given to Gen.
 Rousseau by the direction of the Secretary of State at Washington
 for that purpose) was then properly lattached and began it's ascent, hoist.
 ed by General Rousseau's son, George Lowell Rousseau. Again the salutes
 were fired as before, the Russian
 water battery leading off. The flag
 was so QOlSLeQ that III lue lHSldut II
 reached it's place the report of the Hast gun of the "Ossippee' rever- Iberated from the mountains.
 The salute being completed, Cap Itain Pestchouroff stepped up to Gen. Rousseau and said: General Rous- lseau, by the authority from his maj lesty, the Emperor of Russia, trans fer to the United States the Terri Itory of Alaska" In as few words Gen. Rousseau acknowledged the ac- ,ceptance of the transfer and the ceremony was at an end Three Ioheers were then spontaneously given for the. United States flag by the Americans present.
 The effect upon the Russian citi- zenry was not that of elation, but rather than the feeling of sadness and gloom. However, later, most of the Russians were rather happy ill becoming American citizens.

The Wrangell sentinel., 1924-10-16

The events leading to the pur- chase and the treaty between United States and Russia are very inter- esting to the student of history The transfer of the Territory reads like a romance. So much has been writ ten and told in books and story by various writers that one sometimes wonders how much of this is true and how much is fiction.
 According to the speech of Senator Sumner on the floor of the us. Con- gress on the cession of Alaska, the idea of the cession of Alaska began as far back as 1855 when the Rus sian Government was sounded on the subject. In 1860 the California interests through Senator Gwin and MT. Appleton, Assistant Secretary of State made unofficial proposals for the acquisition of the Territory. This proposal was made through the Rus sian minister at Washington who
 had communicated it to his Govern ment. The Russian government through Prince Gorchakoff in a des- patch which reached America early in the summer of 1860 said that "the offer was not what might be expected; but that it merited ma ture reflection; that the minister o1 finance was about to inquire into the condition of these possessions after which Russia would be in a condition to treat The subject was submerged by the presidential cleo tion which was approaching, and then by the rebellion. After the close of the rebellion the subject . was again brought to light. This time by the interests in Washington Territory who wanted new facilities to obtain fish, fur and ice, and who sought the intervention of the na- tional Government. The Legislature of Washington Territory in the winter of 1866 adopted memorial tu the President of the United States in reference to the cod and other fisheries.
 Shortly after another influence was felt. Senator Cole of California acting in behalf of certain persons in the State sought to obtain from the Russian government a license or franchise to gather furs in portion of it's American possessions. The Russian minister at Washington, whom MT. Cole saw repeatedly upon this subject was not authorized to act, and MT. Cole after conference with the Department of State was induced to address MT. Clay, minister of the United States at St. Peters burg, who laid the application be- fore the Russian government.
 Sometime had elapsed since the origina attempt of MT. Gwin, also a Senator from California, and it is probable that the Russian govern ment had obtained information which enabled it to see it's way more clearly There is no reason to be- lieve, also, that the administration of the fur company had not been en- tirely satisfactory, so that there were well-founded hesitations with regard to the renewal of its fran chise. Meanwhile in October. 1866, Mir. de Stoekl, who had long been the Russian minister at Washington and enjoyed in a high degree the confidence of our government, re- turned home from leave of absence promising his best exertions to pro- mote good relations between the two countries. While he was at St. Petersburg the applications from the United States were under con- sideration. As MT. de Stoekl was leaving in February to return to his
