TAXATION BILL
REPORTED WITH
REDUCED RATES
Salmon Schedules Restored
to Existing Basis-Mix-
up on Mine Rates.

The House Ways and Means Com
mittee this morning brought in the
general revenue measure, House
Bill No. 76, this morning with the
proposed increase In rates in red
salmon packs stricken but still con-
tanning the increased mining sched-
ule. The situation in regard to the
latter is slightly peculiar as five
members, or a majority, including
Grant. Grier, Sherman. Sundquist
and Watson, refused to concur to
the mining schedule and signed
nonconcurring statement.
Bill Is Amended.
The Committee amended the orig
inal bill in other respects. 1t struck
out the clause that prohibited muni-
cipalities from leyying additional IL
cense taxes on automobiles. 1t re-
duced the rate on mildcure or salted
red salmon from the existing 15
cent schedule per one hundred
pounds to five cents. The restora-
tion of the ten-cent rate on red sal
mon packs placed the entire canned
salmon schedule on the same basis
as at present. The Committee re-
stored a license on undertakers but
exempted undertakers doing busi-
ness in the smaller communities The
license fee on traps was restored to
5000 being reduced from 5000 as
originally proposed in Ross's bill.

man Ross contends that 1t is a part

votes to be eliminated or reduced.
The rate on mining incomes as car
ried by the bill Is one per cent in
excess of $4,000 but not more than
100000, and two per cent on net
incomes in excess of $500,000. The
1923 schedule Is one per cent on
net incomes from $4,000 to $780,

SENATE DEFEATS
STONE MEMORIAL
by VOTE, 5 TO 3.
Aver, Dimond and Pratt
Vote for Passage Hunt
Says Home Town Bad.

This afternoon, House Joint Reso-
luton No. I, by Sheldon, endorsing
President Coolidee's appointment of
George A. Parks to be Governor of
Alaska, passed by the House earlier
in the session, was lost in the Sen
ate by a vote of to q. Senators
Aver Dmond Howard and Pratt
voted for the Resolution.
The Dimond memorial denouncing
the famous Stone interview charg-
ing Alaska with being lawless and
demanding the name of his inform
ant that such informant might be
branded as the ''liar that he is"
was lost in the Senate today by
vote of three to five. Aver, Dimond
and Pratt voting for passage, Aid
rich, Brown, Dunn Howard and Hunt
voting no. All the members, except,
Senator Brown. talked on the me-
mortal and the Stone charges and
only one Senator Hunt, who cited
alleged vicious conditions prevalent
IN KetchikAn, contended for the
pIopriety of the charges made by
the former Attorney General of the
United States.
So emphatic was his denunciation
of what Senator Hunt declared were
deplorable conditions in his home
town that President Aver, who up
held Alaskans as being as lawabid-
ing and respecting as the people OF
any part of the United States or
the whole world, was moved to ex-
tend his eympathy to Senator Hunt
for being forced to live in Ket-
chikan' Just prior to this the lat
ter had said he didn't want other
Senators to infer from his remarks
he was going to move from Ketchi-
kan as he had no such intention,
that he. was going to stay there and
see it through.
Dimond Defends Memorial.
Senator Dimond, author of the
measure declared that no people
singled out for wholesale condemna-
ton as had Alaskans by the Stone
charges which he read from an As
sociated Press news despatch ap-
pearing in the Seward Gateway
The Anchorage Times, The Alaska
Daily Empire, and other Alaskan
papers. He emphasized the fact
that it was circulated by the Asso-
ciated Press which. he asserted, lis
the most, or one of the most, re-
liable news agencies in this country
or in any other country"
As to the justification for his
memorial, he declared any person
unfamiliar with Alaskans and Alas
kan conditions who read the inter
view would be forced to conclude
one-half of the people of this Ter
ritory are bootleggers and the re-
mainder of the population fish pi-
rates. Mr.. Stone, he said is man
of such high character that he
would not have made such sweep
ing charges had be not believed the
information given him to be correct
and his informant responsible. Any
one who declared Alaskans to be
vicious maligned them and should
be vigorously condemned which was
what his memorial sought to accom-
plish, he asserted. He acknowledged
his measure to be couched in Wig

INDIANS BARRED
BY HOUSE FROM
LOCAL PENSIONS
Old Age Pension Bill Amend
ed to Exclude Indians
from Eligible List.

BY an amendment offered by Jen-
sen this morning to House Bill No.
23, the House adopting in. expressly
shut out Indians from the old age
pension laws. Jensen's amendment
was adopted after Paul had sought
to amend by excluding wards of the
Federal government from the benefits
of the Territorial pension system.
The amendment adopted is virtual
ly identical with that Incorporated
into the mothers pension bill by
the House yesterday. 1t is claimed
that it will be adequate to cope with
the issue brought by the effort to
bring Indians under both pension
laws of the Territory.
The contention of Mr.. Jensen. who
presented the amendment, and his
supporters. is to the effect that Alas
kan Indians are treated as wards of
the Government regardless of their
actual legal status in that respect:
that they are annually receiving edu-
cation, both academic and Industrial.

PEDESTRIANS GIVEN
 RIGHT OF WAY OVER
 LOS ANGELES AUTOS

LOS ANGELES, Mar 9.-The new traffic ordinance recently made effec- here gives pedestrians the right of way over motorists outside of the cen tral traffic zone. One afoot desiring to cross a street at any intersection not under police control is supposed to signal his desire by holding up his hand to approaching motorists, whom the law obliges to stop until the cross walk is clear.
 The pedestrians, however, are held vigorously to rules, in that they are prohibited from crossing streets any where except at corners. "Jaywalkers' are liable to arrest. In the downtown congested districts the foot traffic is required to follow the police signals and move with vehicles.
 Violators of the ordinance, includ ing "jaywalkers," are subject to a fine of $50 and a jail sentence for the first offense; $100 fine and ten days con- finement for second violation; and for the third transgressiOn, fine of $500 and six months jail sentence.
 A dozen pedestrians were arrested the first few weeks of the new law. Police officials look for more com plete cooperation when it is realized that the regulation saves time and protects life.
 The original draft of the ordinance proposed that horse-drawn vehicles be banished from the congested dis tricts, but that section was revised to exclude horses from the downtown streets between the hours of 4: 30 and D. m.
 The ordinance ill general has em- braced the recommendation of the recent national conference on street and highway safety held in Washing ton at the request of Secretary Her bert Hoover.

 Last winter the king resumed dip lomatic dinners on a modest scale for the first time since the World War, and the return to this prac- tice on a larger scale than last year is regarded here as step in the right direction.
 A feature of these events is the atmosphere of informality that char acterizes them. King Boris talks freely with his guests.
