TAX ON MINING PROPOSED BY
 LEGISLATURE
Especial to The Gateway

topSCldt tO nC bdtO"oyJ JUNEAU, Alaska, April 3.-Carry- ing provisions for a one per cent tax
 on outputs S10,00O to S500,000, and ? per cent on mining incomes exceed ing S5O0,00O, and a case tax of 15 cents per case on reds, kings and
 sockeye salmon, with $500 for fish trap licenses, Representative Ross, chairman of the Ways and Means com mittee published a tentative revenue of the measure. Other changes from the 1923 law are, uniform profes- sional license of S10; all non-hire au- tOmobiles, $10; automobiles for hire, $15; and a repeal of the tax on all kinds of trucks. The proposed mea- sure also provides that no taxes of any kind may be levied on automo- piles by any municipality
 The graduated tax schedule which is involved in suit to be heard by the Supreme Court is retained in the bill. Tlfere are no other changes from the 1923 bill Hearings are expected to continue for ten days.
 The House Judiciary Committee unanimously reported against the pas sage of Pauls measure throwing open the Territorial pension system to h. dian mothers, and recommended the Sheldon resolution endorsing the ap- pointment of George A. Parks for gov ernor, with Ross signing as not con- curing.
 Senator Dimond introduced a mea- sure in the Senate providing for trial by jury of cases involving contempt of court where the contempt is not committed in the presence of the court or so nearby that it impedes the ad- mlnistration of justice, where such contempt charges also constitute criminal offense.
 Senator Dimond also introduced a bill reducing the eagle bounty to 50 cents
 Senator Pratt introduced bill the sales profit tax of 1919, by eXempting ten per cent of the yearly profit on an original invest ment from taxation and requiring certified report on all sales in excess of s1OO0,

ANOTHER GOOD LAW

The bill proposed by Senator An thony J. Dimond providing for trial by jury of cases involving contempt of court, like majority of Sena. tor Dimond's bills, is one which should meet with the approval of every citizen of the Territory. For many years judges have abrogated unto themselves the right to set the penalty for contempt, giving them the right to decide cases in which they themselves are involved. and which can result only in one verdict, that of guilty"
 Tie Gateway is not accusing any judge of using this power unjustly. for many times when they could have exercised it, they have temper ed justice with mercy, and allowed the offender to go, without even an admonition to sin no more. But the principle of the thing is so abhorrent to American ideas of justice that it should be changed
 Another law that should be chang ed as it is unconstitutional, is the refusal to give prisoners trial be- fore city magistrates the Jght to trial by jury. In this case also the principle is abused and should be changed in order to give the acused the right to trial by his peers.
 Senator Dimond is making good record in the legislature. Every bill introduced by him up to the present time tends to alleviare conditions in stead of making them more burden some. None of his bills have in- creased taxes, nor have they penal zed any industry. For good level headed horse sense, tempered with judicial learning, our Third division senator stands supreme.

COMMISSION CAN
 BAR DEMPSEY IN
 MANHATTAN RING
BUT HE CANNOT BE SUSPENDED IF HE TELLS BOARD TO MIND IT'S OWN BUSINESS BECAUSE HAS NO NEW YORK LICENSE

NEW YORK, April 3.-The latest development in the scrambled heavy weight situation brings about the question of what will the commission do about it if Dempsey virtually tells that body to mind it's own business.
 The commission cannot suspend Dempsey because he has no license in New York. It can only keep him from fighting in New York by refus- ing to grant him a license unless he signs to fight Wills or by calling upon the commission of other states to back it up in it's effort to force the champion to live up to the interna- tional rules.
 Some kind of action will be taken by the commission at it's regular meeting when it would be no sur prise if the commission should point out to Wills that Dempsey had pass ed him up and if he wants to make any money this summer he would do we'll to accept one of several of fers that are ready to be made for a fight with Tom Gibbons.

AID RANCHERS
 TO INSPECT GRAZING HERD

BUENOS AIRES, April 3-Some of the ranches of the Argentine pam pas are so large that it takes an all day trip on horseback for the owner to ride from one boundary to an other or visit a neighbor.
 But several of these ranch owners no longer need to take these rides, for they are riding now on the wings of the wind, having purchased air planes to take them where they wish to go.
 One ranch is equipped with a hang ar containing three airplanes, one for the owner, and one each for his two sons. They use them not only to fly around the ranch to inspect their herds of cattle, but into Buenos Aires where they have town house. They

AVIATION IN AUSTRIA
 REPORTS GOOD YEAR

VIENNA, April 3-Aviation in Austria experienced considerable de velopment in the past year. The number of flights recorded on the routes out of Vienna increased thirty per cent. The carriage of passen- gers showed a like increase, while the transportation of goods doubled. The distance flown by the various companies last year over Austrian territory was equivalent to If times around the world.
 The opening up of new routes, namely Vienna-Berlin, Vienna -Carcow and Vienne-Trieste, are in contem- plation.

 At the recent polling for national senator each voter had to present an elaborate card bearing his number name and surname and other name by which he was known, his signature his photograph and his finger print.

MORE TAXES ON CITIZENS

The Gateway, as it has stated from time to time, is absolutely against any increase of taxes. Rather it believ- es that expenses should be cut, so
 that the languishing industries of the Territory may thrive There are so many remedial questions to be ad- justed by the legislature that it can well afford to overlook the question Of taxes. The Territory needs 3 weights and measures inspector, it needs a pure food law to prevent shipments of spoiled canned goods to the Territory. it needs a Terri tOrial constabulary to patrol the back districts and render aid to miners and prOspectors, as we'll as travellers on the trail. It needs a law pre- venting aliens from bringing and car rying arms in the Territory, killing game promiscuously out of season. It needs law providing that insane persons brought to the Territory by the canneries, should be taken back 10 the port from which they embark ed by the cannery companies, instead of being thrown on the Territory, to be charged to Alaska as part of her insane. It needs many laws, and lower taxes. It needs a repeal of the sales tax, which is wrong.
 Remedial legislation is welcome but any act tending to make conditions harder for Alaskans should be frown- ed upon by the voters.

The democratic vote was 81 per cent
