land. When the real situation came
to light, a number of the Senators
signed a petition requesting the Gov
ernor not to sign the bill.
This petition was presented to the
Governor on Tuesday morning by a
delegation of the Senators. The Gov
ernor granted the Senators hearing
and then took the matter under con-
sideration.
The Governor has thirty days from
last Friday in which to consider the
measure and it is quite probable that
he will withhold his action for time
in order to properly study the situa-
tion. AS far as could be learned
there will be no further hearings on
the matter.
1t is feared in some circles that the
repeal of the filing fee together with
other reductions in the school tax
fund, that the school fund will not
produce enough revenue to meet the
appropriations allowed for it.
The other deductions in the school
taxes are a reduction on the real es-
tate tax from twenty-five to fifteen
cents. Also a reduction in the capital
gain tax Of fifty per cent. These
measures have not yet been approved
by the Governor.

Measure Abolishing This Tax is Be
fore Governor for His Consideration
Governor Robert p. Robinson has
before him a measure which if he
signs will abolish the three dollar fill
ing fee, tax that is at present used
for the support of the public schools.
The measure was passed by the Cen
eral Assembly during the rush Of bus
mess on the final day. 1t was passed
by the House shortly after noon on
Friday but did not come up in the
Senate until near the close Of the ses-
sion on that day.
When the bill was brought up in
the Senate it appeared to be a meas
ure to change the present State Tax
Commission. 1t was explained along
this line by Secretary of State Char
les H. Grantland.
On Saturday morning it was learn
ed that this measure repealed the FL
ing fee. When this matter was
brought to the attention of number
of Senator'S, they expressed surprise
that the bill contained such provisions
None of the members of the Senate
had any time to study the measure
and many of them cast their vote in

WITH LEG BURNED HALF OFF TRAPPER
 CRAWLs 15 MILES
MEETS BEAR ON LINE, KNOCKED UNCONSCIOUS; NOW IN kEN-
 NEcoTT HOSPITAL

CORDOvA, Dec. 19. (P-After ly- ing for more than one month alone in cabin in the wilds of Interior Alas ,ka with one leg burned off nearly to the knee and the other foot badly burned, Nick Raworth, young Cana dian war veteran, was taken to the Kennecott hospital Saturday.
 On November 3rd, Raworth, who was operating trap-line on the Gull kama river, was attacked by a bear. His dog fought nobly to save his masters life but lost his own in the attempt.
 The bear then turned on Raworth knocking him unconscious What hap pened after that Raworth could not remember but he evidently came to for he started a fire but the shock and loss of blood carried him into a coma and when next he became con scious one leg was burned off to the knee and the other foot badly injured. Suffering intense agony he managed to crawl 15 miles to one of his cabins where he lay for a week. After the week he was scarcely able to secure food and water and in this condition he was found by an Indian who pack ed him, with dog-team, to Copper Center, 30 miles away.
 Raworth was then taken to Ch1tina where he was placed aboard c. R. & N. w. R. R. train and taken to the Kennecott hospital. It is still unde- Itermined if he has a fighting chance to live.

 Divers, who went down to survey the hull of the submarine which was rammed and sank Saturday by the coast guard cutter Paulding, brought back the story of an under sea conversation conducted on either side by rappings on the steel hull. There was no serious gas condition in the compartment the six imprison- ed men said but the air was foul

The wire ran into gaping wound around the back of.the head to the face where it was thrust through the eyelids.
