came due" according to the report
of the Gibson subcommittee of the
House District committee.
The startling fact that the Wash
ington Terminal Company owes so
much money In taxes and lighting
bills, while at the same time 1t has
deprived the public of full and free
use of the main entrance to Union
Station, which was designed to be
the front doorway of the National
Capital, grows out of contention that
the tax rate on the property occupied
by the Union Station and the rail
approach is not equitable. 1t will be
seen on the accompanying chart that
Congress authorized the closing Of
large sections OF F. G, H, and X
street northeast, with abutting
squares, to be used as the Union
Station site.
u. S. Still Has Title.
The title to these streets still lies
in the United States Government,
but these portions Of the streets are
occupied by the Union Station, and
the Washington Terminal Co. doesn't
pay one cent for the use of this
land. The Terminal Co. contends
tnat the Olner ldHu acquired loI the
Union Station site, abutting these
streets, is taxed at the rate just as
though it fronted on streets, while
with the closing of the streets, all Of
this area was thrown into one large
parcel, which should be taxed at the
commercial tract rate.
This situation was called to the at
tention of the District Commissioners
and Congress in 1910 by William P.
Richards, the assessor, in his annual
report, as follows:
'In order to improve the terminal

same corporation amounting to more
than 100000.
THE subcommittee recommends
vigorous prosecution Of all the cases
involving these taxation matters.
Corporations should be made to pay
their taxes as well as the ordinary
citizen. When they fail to do 1t they
are placing upon the other taxpayers
the burden they ought to bear. 1t
would be money well expended If
Congress would appropriate literally
for the employment Of the best legal
talent available to protect the interests
of the people of the District, as 1t Is
apparent that suits pending against
the corporations have not been prose-
cuted as expeditiously as they should,
and as the necessities of the District
demand"
The aggregate Of $967,7s6.14 in
taxes against corporations, empha-
sized in the Gibson subcommittee re-

 TAKE HEED

There are interruptions for deal- CTS throughout the United States who advertise to pay high prices for furs, and number of Alaskans who have responded to these ad- vertisements through the mails have been badly cheated in the mney returns sent them for their furs.
 The criminal prosecution ser vice of the Post Office Department has followed up some of these fraudulent transactions, but it is difficult to get a criminal case against these dealers.
 The Department is now working cn a case where quite a number of A1askans, as we'll as trappers in other sections of the United States, have been victimized by mailing their furs to an irrespon- magazines and sends out circulars, and the evidence secured against them is such that case of fraud may be established.
 The purpose of this letter is to warn Alaskan trappers and fur dealers against accepting all ad- vertisements of high prices to be paid for furs as genuine.
 There are many old established fur houses in the United States where furs may be sent and honest returns made, and I would advise Alaskan shippers to patronize these houses instead of responding to new advertisers before learning what their commercial reputation is.
 The above has been received from office Dan Sutherland.

Geneva Confer
 ence Limited

The Geneva disarmament confer ence has no power to scrap the Washington treaties which run un- ti! 1926, and cannot be amended before 1894, the Department of State has announced. The news paper reports from Geneva that the adoption of the majority re- Eort of the subcommittee on naval armament was in the nature Cs repudiation of the Washington conference agreement was briefly discussed.
 It was pointed out by depart ment officials that the IeIort adopt cd was the recommendation of q subcommittee to a comIr1ttee which in turn must report 70 the com mission, which is itsele a prelim- mary commission to prepare f." a general disarmament conference yet to be called. The reports in the pjress, which were :os only qLbject of comment at the depart ment were to the effect that the American delegation mad made g minority report, which was con .urred in by the British. Argentine and Chilean delegations. declaring that naval strength should be bas- ed on the tonnage of the ships in each class, while the majority re- port was that naval strength should be based on the single tot.l of the tonnage of all ships in the navy of each power.
 The only other factor brought out in the press reports, it was said, was that the United States could not agree to having treaties regulating armament supervised by an international body like the League of Nations. This Ameri- can policy was, the department stated we'll known, and needed no comment. It was doubtless reit- erated, it was said by Major Gen eral Dennis P. Nolan, of the American delegation, in response to an inquiry.

MONEY bVN-
 NEO BY MEXICO

American paper and snver money may no longer circulate in Mexico, according to Presidential decree is- sued June 25, copy of which was conveyed to the Department of State by American Ambassador James R. Sheffield.
 The new ruling prohibits the inn portation and circulation in Mexico of all foreign banknotes and money other than gold, the exception be- ing that American banknotes to a total of $500 may be imported into Mexico within 100 kilometers of the boundary.
 Mexico recently resumed the is- sue of paper money following the establishment of a new bank of issue in Mexico City, after num- Der of years in which gold and silver alone were accepted by the Mexican public following the imitation and depreciation period under President Carranza. Foreign money has not been legal tender in Mexico since before Carranza, but during the periods when Mexican paper money vas at a discount, banks carried accounts in both Mexican and Ameri- can money, as the depositor chose. The present decree enforces laws already existing by prohibiting the importation as we'll as the cfrcula- ton of foreign money.

WORST FIRES IN
 MANY YEARS

Fires raging in Northwestern Montana and northern Idaho is the worst in seven years, forestry of ficials have declared. New fires were being set up daily by electri- cal storms with high winds flaming the fires into huge proportions.
 Great clouds of smoke are being given off by the Kooteniai, Kan isksu, Blackfeet, Pen d'Orielle, Couer d'Alene and St. Joe forests and they are virtually a mass of flames.
 A fire travelling at the rate of ten miles an hour was reported as imperilling the White Court dis trict along the Athabasco River near Edmonton. It is said that by this fire the best timber in the province is threatened with de- struction.
 At the city limits of Port Orchard, Wn., a stiff wind had famed the fire and carried it rapidly toward town. One house was destroyed before over 200 men could stop the raging flames.
 Three homes were reported as being destroyed at White Brush, out of Spokane, when brush fire swept across the praries. Families were hurriedly packing their be- longings and leaving their homes.
 Twelve deaths had been report ed by the middle of the week. i California, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana and British Colum- bia are affected by this the greatest ire of several years.
