Alaska School Children Should Read of Early
 Days Kenai Peninsula

A perusal of Russian History of Kenai Peninsula" vii reveal to one not familiar with the Seward vicin- ity, that during those early days when Russia possessed the Territory, a sea battle was fought off the coast of Kenai, in which hundreds of na- tives died. The bodies of those slain were deposited in nearby gulch. The rains of the past century have washed down much of the gulch with the result that occasional ly a skeleton tumbles down to the creek bed.
 Two miles below Seward, on Res urrection Bay, the Russians had an immense ship yard. Back in the hills some distance, is an old Rus sian fort. The immediate vicinity is rich in ancient lore which, if it were any place but n Alaska, would be capitalized

School Without
HI. S. Facilities
Must Pay Tuition

School districts which do not Of
fer high school facilities to chill
dren living. within it's limits must
pay the tuition of such children if
they elect to attend high schools
in neighboring districts, Attorney
General Shafer held in an opinion
to G. l.. Robertson, superintendent
of schools at Jamestown.
The text of the opinion follows !:
1--WE have your favor of the 18th
inst. asking for our opinion relative
to the right of high school dis
trict having standardized high
school to collect tuition from the
district from whence comes a
student who takes two subjects in
the high school and two grade sub
jects, the two grade subjects being
taken for the purpose of complet-
ing the grade work.
"We believe it the theory Of the
law as embedded both in the Con-
stitution and in the statutes, that
the children within certain age
shall have free public schools and,
therefore, that if district is not
furnishing high school facilities it
must pay the tuition of one of its
resident pupils who goes to some
other district to take high school
work, even though during its first
year it does take some grade sub
jects to complete the grade work.
The pupil should not be penalizcd
by being compelled either to pay
its own tuition, or spend whole
year in it's local district to complete
two subjects"

Law Providing
Sterilization of
Inmates Invalid

North Dakota's sterilization law,
insofar as it permits of the steriliza-
ton of imbeciles, habitual criminals
and other inmates of state institu-
tions without their consent is invalid,
Attorney General George Shafer held
in an opinion to the board of admin
istratiOn here.
Request for the opinion was made
by the state board as the result of a
recent proposal to make the law ef-
fective. Since its passage in 1913 1t
has been a dead letter on the statute
books. At a recent conference of the
directing heads of state institutions
the governor was asked to appoint a
committee to suggest changes in the
law which were left to be advisable
but no steps to that and have yet
been taken by the executive.

EMM0NS COURT
REV ERSED ON
TAX QUESTION
Counties Can Collect Interest
on Back Taxes Only at
Rate Of s Per Cent
BIG LC.rrS TO COUNTIES
Property CwnC-s With De-
linquent Taxes Will Save
Thousands of Dollars

Reversing a decision by the En-
mons county district court the su-
premc court today held that counties
are entitled to receive interest on
back taxes prior to 1923 only at the
rate of six per cent year from the
time the taxes became due.
The question was presented TO the
court in the case of the State Of
North Dakota on behalf Of Arthur b.
Atkins as administrator of the estate
of Mary Cole VS.. the board Of coun-
ty commissioners, treasurer and au-
ditor of Emmons county.
1t was Of far-rcaching importance
as it will affect payment of thous-
ands Of dollars in back taxes which
have been held up pending the su-
premc courts decision.
The question at issue was the con-
stitutionality Of law passed in
1925 which the district court had
declared void. Under the terms of
the act, which will expire by limi-
tation on November 1, 1925, back
taxes bought in by counties may be
paid with interest at the rate of six
per cent instead of five per cent
penalty and q maximum II per cent
interest which Emmons county at
tempted to collect in the case pre-
scnted to the court.
Saving For Property Owners
In the opinion, which was written
by Chief Justice Christianson, it was
stated that "the precise point in the
dispute between the parties is wheth'
err Emmons county is entitled to re.
cover only interest at the rate Of siS
per cent per annum upon the tan
certificates and subsequent taxes o1
five per cent penalty and interest
at the rate Of IL per cent per annum
upon the amount Of its tax sale GER.
tificates and interest ut II per cen,
per annum upon the subsequen,
taxes
The courts decision means a loss
of thousands of dollars in revenue tC
practically every county in the state
since many counties had bought in
tax certificates with the anticipa.
ton Of collecting the higher rate OF
interest on taxes due. At the same
time it means saving of thousapds
Of dollars to property owners whose
taxes are delinquent for 1928 ano
prior years.
The Statute
The statute which was upheld
reads in part as follows: "Rea
estate sold the county for taxes OF
1928 or any prior year and still held
by the county at the time this act
takes effect may be redeemed or
payment of the amount for which il
was sold at tax sale together with in
terest thereon at six per cent pei
annum from the date Of sale plus the
amount of all subsequent taxes held
by the county with interest thereon
at six per cent per annum from the
date on which such subsequent taxes
became due. No penalty shall, in
such cases, be charged, either upon
the amount for which the land was
sold at tax sale nor upon such sub
seauent taxes. 1t shall not be re:
quired that the 1924 taxes be paid
at the time of making such redemp-
ton but, in order to be entitled to
redeem at the low rate specified
herein, such redemption must De
made not later than November l.

MINNESOTA HAS SEVEN
AUTO DEATHS IN WEEK

St. Paul, Oct. 26.-(P)--Automobilc
accidents in Minnesota last week
claimed seven victims, bringing the
states toll Of dead from this source
during October to 80 as compared
with 30 for the entire month of Sep
tcmbcr.
The toll for last week, ending ut
midnight Sunday, was one more than
for the week previous, while for the
week ending October II the death
list mounted to IS.
The number of automobile deaths
indicate that last weeks comparative
ly low figure was brought about
through heavy SHOWS which made
roads poor. thereby reducing the
number of drivers on the highways.
