MUCH INTEREST IN DEMOCRATIC
 PLANS IS SEEN
Local Delegates Find Peo- pie Alive to Party's
 Chances for Success

Returning today from the Ter ritorial Democratic Convention at Seward, Juneau delegates, J. J.. Connors, w. B. Kirk and John w. Troy, expressed themselves as gratified at the interest being displayed everywhere they visited in Democratic politics in Alaska and the outlook for an active party campaign during the cur rent year. Not since the middle of the Wilson regime, it was said, has interest been so gen eral and common.
 This augurs well, it was claim ed. for the success of the party's ticket in the Fall election. Con- fidence was expressed that both Divisional and Territorial can didates would be largely sup ported.
 The Seward meeting was char acterized as being notable for the harmony displayed by the dele gates in their deliberations. While there was some discussion of and difference of opinion as to the advisability of endorsing Gov. AT Smith and sending an instructed delegation to the National Con vention, it was absolutely Tree from acrimony. There was not single roll call necessary on the endorsements for the party candidates for all offices, each being approved by exclamation. On the final vote, the platform was adopted by a unanimous vote.
 The declarations of the several candidates endorsed by the con yention will be filed within the next few days, it was said.

knew their rights or not that seems 20
me to be a very queer procedure and |
thought the easiest way to get the mat
ter remedied is by Introducing this Res-
olution. | might say that there IS no
scheme to evade taxation or anything
else like that, for every one knows 1t to
be an excellent rule to Render unto
Caesar the things that are Caesars,

purD and object | Introduce this Reso-
luton.
Dospatching Secretary Fo15U8JD; Mr..
Vice Chairman, | think the Honorable
LIST Member for Christiansted Town has
been misinfOrmpd. First let me state
that while the Government does not see
the necessity for this bill it certainly
has 20 objection to the schedule OF fees
being fixed by proper legally constituted
authority. Ii is not understood how 1t can
even appear that the schedule OF fees as
now charged is necessitatlug much pub
lie incOY V~enience and uncertainty. 10 the
contrary payments are arranged to SUIT
the payor, unless it is c%Ontended that 1t IS
never convenient to make payments.
Notices Of the present rate OF lees were
sent out some time prior to May l, 1871,
informing the public that olhe rates
would become effective On that date.
Subsequent notices have been sent out
but the rate has remained unchanged. a
rate that has remained constant for more
than eight years is not an uncertainty.
That the rate should be changed IS not
disputed as the present collections do
rot pay the full cost of removal. In this
connection the attention of the Council
is invited to the fact that the Municipal
Committee acts in an advisory capacity
only. 1t can recommend a rate hut 1t IS
up to the Council to fix it. | have here a
