SUGGESTS ALTERNATIVE PROPO- SAILS TO THE CREDIT PLAN; PROPOSED ENTIRE SURPLUS BE APPLIED RETIREMENT PUB- LlC DEBT
DEBT WILL BE CUT s5oo,ooo, ,ooo
Secretary Believed Would Just as Soon Use Surplus Toward Retire nent of Public Debt

WASHINGTON, Nov. IT. (P)-Sec- retary Mellon predicted an income tax surplus of S3OO,O0O,O0O, which. would allow of 15 per cent credit on next years taxes. In a discussion with newspaper men Secretary Mel lon asked for alternative proposals to the credit plan. Some suggested be given on excise and corporation taxes only. Other suggested that the surplus dividend in greater propor- tion among individual taxpayers so that those paying small leyies would get greater credit Some proposed that the entire surplus be applied to the retirement of the public debt.
 Secretary Mellon replied that he did not feel it fair to take a surplus created largely by income taxpayers and apply it to the reduction of excise taxes, including automobiles and admission dues. It would be diff ficult, he said, to give the smaller taxpayers greater credit because their payments are now so small. The sec retary did not deny that he had just as soon use the surplus toward the retirement of the public debt, but add ed that the debt, which stands at about nineteen billion six hundred million dollars, would be cut oyer five hundred million this year. He considered this sufficient.

"A prominent business man of Ko- diak informed me while we were in port a few days ago that the outlook for a cold storage plant was very en- couraging and that every indication pointed to the fact plant would soon be constructed at Kodiak" stated MT. Terhune, of the Biological Survey, AL aska Game Commission, who was guest yesterday at the Chamber of Commerce lncheon held at the Seward Grill. MT. Terhune returned to Sew ard on the departments vessel Seal which has been on a five months cruise to Westward and Bristol bay points.
 . Continuing MT. Terhune said, Gen eral conditions throughout the entire Westward regions we visited ap- peared very good. The successful fishing season of last year, naturally, assisted greatly in the general pros perity of the country. Regarding the game conditions we found them just about what we had expected. Every where in the Territory there seems to be crying need for wardens but owing to appropriations at the present time we are doing the best we can with limited force of men. The CO., operation of the public is desirable and is very much appreciated by the department.

Of the 350,000 head of deer known to range the northern tundra approxi- mately 3O,0O0 belong to one company, the remainder are owned by natives who have developed their herds and a few whites who have acquired breeders from Eskimos and indepen- dent owners. This would leave the remaining 294,000 head in the hands of Eskimo herdsmen and white own- CTS of small herds.
 Lack of Shipping Facilities
 Aside from the facilities provided by the Bureau of Education steamer Boxer 500 carcass cold storage space-there are no other facilities for marketing animals from the Es- kimo herds unless characters may be secured for ships to touch at points where small cold storage plants have been erected in the North.
 Thus the industry which has cost the government of the United States many hundreds of thousands of dol lars to develop in aid of the natives of the North, has become the white mans business and the natives are told by the Bureau of Education to content themselves with eating their deer and using it's hide for clothing, and occasionally selling live animals to others for about s6 head.
 When the question of transferring Eskimo herds to Mckinley Park was made by George Ashenfelter, white herd owner, married to an Eskimo woman, and fully familiar with the needs and capacities of the native, it met the sanction of those officials

BACK IN PORT
 FROM ANNUAL TRIP
 SOUTH, INSPECTION
RETURNS WITH CAPACITY CARGO AND FEW NEW FACES IN
 PERSONNEL

Capt. o. A. Johansen, master of the steamship Starr, owned and operated by the San Juan Fisheries Company, brought his vesesl back to the home port at o'clock this morning from Seattle where the annual overhauling and inspection was undergone The trip southward was ideal with the pos sible exception of a heavy fog en- countered in Wrangell Narrows, which made navigation unsafe and the steamer was forced to anchor. The trip north to Seward was excellent and was made without incident. The vessel underwent it's inspection at Seattle at the Commercial Boiler Works.
 A capacity cargo of tonnage was brought north on the Starr from Se- attle and large additional tonnage is being taken aboard locally for Westward ports. First class mail from the States was also brought to Seward.
 A few changes have been made in the ships personnel but the majority of the old familiar faces returned. Among these is mail clerk Dorrance who was transferred, by request dur ing the summer months, to rail job running out of Portland. Purser Ben der reports Mrs. Bender proved to be an exceptionally good sailor on the round trip and enjoyed the ocean voyage immensely.
 It is said under new order, inspec- tion of the steamer is to be made twice next season, which will require an extra trip to Seattle during the summer.
 Captain Johansen, who is national ly known as a veteran navigator of Alaskan waters, and who is widely known in Seattle shipping circles, as has been his custom in the past, gave out several stores while in Seattle, stories of the kind which he envari- ably enthuses, about Alaska, it's pre- sent and future needs. The captain always has good instructive yarn to spin, therefor, is eagerly sought af- ter by members of the Fourth Es- tate, for,~ in the parlance of newspap- Ter men, he is "good copy"
