POLITICAL DYNAMITE

The earlier date for the eIec- tton (September) would make certain that all returns could be gathered promptly, for it would come before freeze-up and be- fore boats stopped running in Bering Sea, the Arctic Ocean and the interior rivers"
 The September date for cleo tions means the voting of Seat tie residents in Alaska. Wash ington residents who have no use for Alaska other than as place to make money which they invest or spend on pleas uress and homes in the States.
 Such a law would permit Se- attle residents to maintain two voting placeS-W Washington and Alaska. Present requirement is a wise one-reSidence in the Territory one year. The change proposed by the full" territor- ial proponents would make it so foreign residents could vote in Alaska and control political ly in all Territorial affairs with out having to keep up affairs in the territory during the se- were months of winter. This is the scheme of the plunderbund land rapers of the resources of the Territory.
 AS to electon returns coming in earlier, what difference does it make so long as the returns are all in before the end of Jan- uary?

THE ONLY CITY

Tn the first division which tclerates ''fortune-tellin is Juneau, the capitol of Alaska. When anyone starts to razz their professional faker they get real sore about her. Maybe she has some strong political rela- tionS. Might even be related to some of the big businessmen ot Juneau. Who can tell?

The Juneau Chamber of Com merce after much hedging fln- ally came out with a refusal to indorse the Ketchikan propo- gando to close Prince Rupert as a competitive port. This is one of the few acts of the Juneau political machine in the interest of the laboring men of Alaska.

FAVORS REPEAL OF SECTION
 27 OF JONES BILL

The Juneau Chamber of Com merce did not consume much time in deciding to recommend the repeal of the Jones' s-White bill that makes it necessary for shipments from the East to Alaska via rail and water to be carried in American bottoms over the water part of the haul. This is something that does not apply to any other part of the United States. A shipment might be sent from the State of Washington, for instance, to the port of Baltimore over the Canadian Pacific Railroad to Montreal and from there to Baltimore in a foreign vessel. On the other hand a shipment from an eastern state to Juneau via a Canadian railroad must be carried in an American ves- sel. Since American vessels do not call at Vancouver or Prince Rupert, this law deprives Alas kans of the use of the Canadi- an lines from the east to the west. However, an eastern ship ment to San Francisco via Ca nadian railroad could be legally carried in foreign bottom from Vancouver or Prince Rupert South.
 This provision in the Jones' White law would be entirely consistent with the coastwise shipping laws, that have been in effect for about 120 years, If it were applied generally thru out the country-but it does not. It applies only to Alaska. It should be repealed or made to apply everywhere.
 Likewise praiseworthy was the action of the Chamber of Com merce in endorsing the bill in troduced by Delegate Suther- land to Iberalize the law which makes it unlawful to pack sal- mon after it has been killed 48 hours by providing that it may be so used after 48 hours if it has been properly iced and Is in fit condition for human con- sumption. The law as it now is has caused hardship and been expensive. It, in connection with the law that makes it a crime to throw away food fish, has made unwilling and un- avoidable criminals of worthy and careful packers in more than one instance. The amend ment ought by all means to be- come a law.-Juneau Empire.

BANKS AIDED
BY RULING ON
TAX APPEALS
Decision May Affect Court
Fight Against Alleged
Discrimination.

Ruling of Attorney G enera |
James M. Ogden forbidding the
state tax board from providing
transcript of evidence for court
appeals on the grounds the 1927
statute is unconstitutional may
change the entire plan of attack on
alleged determinations being fos-
tered by the Indiana Bankers As
ISOLATION, it was learned today.
The opinion aids, rather than in
jures, the bankers case. according
to Leo Gardner of the firm OF
Jones, Hammond & BuSchmann,
attorneys for the association.
Ogden held, in an opinion, given
upon request of Philip zoercher,
member of the state tax board, that
the 1927 statute providing for ap-
pealS gives the courts the power to
set tax levy, an absolutely legis-
lative function which could not be
constitutionally conferred upon a
judicial body.
Orders transcripts Withheld
He told the board members to
refuse to give out transcripts of
evidence for court appeals on that
ground. Should the law be tested
regarding it's constitutionality, the
procedure would be to seek a man
date requiring the tax board TO
render the transcripts.
Gardner declared that In the
case of the banks this is not likely
to be the method followed. The
banks are attacking the tax law on
the ground it is discriminatory in
not permitting debt deductions from
state bank stocks as is allowed in
other capital investments.
The procedure, in face Of the
Ogden ruling, may be an injunc-
ton suit against both the state
tax board and local authorities at
tacking the entire law, he declared.
The court would be asked to enjoin
the bank stock tax collections.
Others May Make Test
Others seeking appeals may test
out the constitutionality as held by
Ogden, however. This opinion is
somewhat similar to one given by
former Attorney General Arthur L.
Gilliom in letter to then Governor
Ed Jackson in which the law, just
passed by the 1927 legislative ses-
sion, was held unconstitutional.
Twenty eight state banks and the
La Porte Gas and Electric Company
have filed notice Of appeal from tax
board valuations and fifteen others
are already ON file.
In Henry county case has al
ready been ruled, on by the court
and the tax board figures reduced.
