fair in many communities has been forgotten the pendulum is now swinging back. New educational features are rapidly gaining ground. Boys and girls club work is exhibit ed; demonstration of farm and home activities contribute to the attrac- tions. Advertisers of household ap- pliances and farm machinery form a feature of the fair. The motion pic ture machine helps to illustrate va rious activities.
 Alaska Fairs New
 Fairs in Alaska are comparative ly new. There is little opportunity for those who make the circuit with the carnival companies in the states to come here to ply their trade. It should be comparatively easy here to emphasize those features of the fair which will place rural and urb- an activities on higher plane.
 "The exhibits this year are ere dit not only to Southeastern Alaska, but to all of the Territory. For those who have not seen the pro, ducts that can be grown in Alaska. the exhibits are surprising. The things grown here are an inspira- tfOn not especially to those interest ed in commercial development of the backyard and the front yard, but an inspiration to each and every one who intends to make his home in Alaska.
 "They will lead to better homes, better citizens, and better citizen ship"

LOCAL INSURANCE
!. TAX NOW S29a,M
PoIicyhoIders in District Pay
Large Sum Aside From
Other Levies.

Insurance policyho1ders in the Dis
trict of Columbia paid out in 1925, in
addition to their general taxes as citi-
zens, the sum of $299,754 in the form
of State insurance licenses, taxes and
fees. according to a bulletin issued
yesterday by the Insurance Depart
ment Of the Chamber of Commerce of
the United States.
The bulletin discloses A growing
practice on the part of state govern
ments to levy special imposts upon
policyholderS as a means of raising
general revenue. During the past
year $72,951,023 was collected in this
way in the entire country. $40, SPA 900
more than in 1922, 1t says. OF this
amount. only 81 in $27 was used for
the maintenance of State insurance
departments, the purpose for which
the taxes were originally intended,
while the rest was used for State
functions for which the policyholders
had already been taxed as citizens, II
adds. These state functions had no
particular relationship to policyhol-
ders as a class, any more than to any
other type of taxpayers.
Year by year" says the bulletin,
1.-The gross amount of these special
creased. In 1925 they amounted to
S72.951 ,023. This would pay an an
nual premium for more than 100000
ordinary life insurance policies issued
at the age of 25 for $1,000 each. or
would buy fire insurance coverage for
one year on $S,196 900. 900 worth of
property at the average rate of SO
cents per 500. Contrasting this
figure. $72951 ,023. with the total
11lt Nl7 nr--
in 1922, we find that it is about $20,-
600 900 higher, yet the increase in the
amount of money spent for the main
tenance of State insurance depart
ments was Just a little over 1899 900
during this time.
THE total amount of the imposts
set forth above is an understatement
of the actual amount collected from
policyholders. 1t does not contain the
sums imposed by counties and MUM
cipahties in States permitting local
jurisdictions to put special taxes upon
insurance. Policyholders living in
the following states are liable to these
extra taxes in addition to the other
special taxes required by their States
Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kansas,
Kentucky, Louisiana. Maryland,
Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Ne
vada, Ohio, South Carolina. West
Virginia and Wyoming. Neither do
these figures include the cost of col
lection.
1.-THE proportion of special insurance
taxes collected from policyholders
which is spent for service to them,
has been constantly declining from
64SCo in 1915 until it amounted to
only 1861 in 1925. In that year
$685. of these special imposts was
spent for general State purposes"
