FAMOUS DOG RACER HERE,
 GOING SOUTH
Seppala Taking Ten Dogs to Maine Dog Derbies
 Recalled by Reed

Leonhard Seppala, famous dog racer, with ten Siberian huskies passed through Juneau yesterday on the steamer. Alameda and is en- route to Poland Springs, Maine, where he will start training for the New England Dog Derby which is to be held on February 12 Seppala has maintained training quarters at Poland Springs for the past five years, and his team has held the championship for the past three years.
 Elmer Reed, who is now con- nected with the Bureau of Census with headquarters in Juneau, lived in Nome for 25 years and consid- cred himself most fortunate in being able to renew very pleas ant acquaintanceship with Seppala while the Alameda was in port.
 T also saw Fay Delzene," said MT Reed, land he too is an old time dog musher. He spent the past summer in Circle City but is now enroute to California where he will enter this years dog races to be held in Truckee, California. Scotty Allan and other famous Nome drivers will enter this race, tco. Delzene has participated in almost all of the All-Alaska Sweep stake Races which, for many years were celebrated annually in Nome nd were by far the most import ant affairs of the season.
 Tn 19OS," continued MT Reed, the first of these races was run and the course extended from Nome to Candle, on the Arctic Ocean side, which consisted of a distance of approximately 425 miles
 Fink's Heam wins
 'The race was won by Albert Fink's team with John Hegnest acting as driver. Scotty Allans team came in second. It took 119 hours to run the 425-mile course
 At that time, malamutes and outside dogs were driven exclusively and for several years Scotty Allan was the victor in the races until Leonhard Seppala arrived in AL aska and introduced Siberian hus- kies to the racing professionals. He clearly demonstrated that the Si- berian dogs, although much small CT in size than the malamutes, pos sessed far more endurance and speed.
 Why Seppala reduced the rec ord time of l19 hours enthusias- tically declared MT Reed, lon the Nome to- Candle run to "A hours and IA minutes, which is re- markable record when one takes into consideration the hardships- such as loss of sleep, the hazards of blizzards, and poor trail condi- tions-endured by these courageous dog mushers.
 Shatters Record ''In both long and short distance races in the North, Seppala shat tered all records and he is affec- tionately known by the hardy pio- ners of the Northland who justly respect and admire his sterling qualities, as the King of the Arc tic Trail
 Last winter, in both the States and Canada, he came out victorious in every race in which he entered his team. And, despite his many successes, he is exceptionally quiet

WHEN CROOK MEETS CROOK

They used to say when Greek
Meets Greek, look OUT. To fit
local conditions the expression
might be modernized to read,
when crook meets crook, some
body's apt to be OUT. There's a
story current that a local boot
logger started suit against anoth-
er local bootlegger in justice court
on a bad check charge. In his re-
ply to the charge the second boot
logger did not deny issuing the
check, but claimed that is was
void because it was given for al
legged moonshine whiskey. 1t is
the opinion that the case will not
come up for trial.

PROPOSES
DRASTIC
BOOST

Radical revision Of the tax
alton system of the District
was advocated today by Sena-
tor William H. King Of Utah,
a member of the Senate Dis
trict Committee. He would
set up here an income tax law,
separate from the Federal tax
on incomes. He would add
TO this a tax on inheritance.
The Senator declares that many
persons of wealth are now estab-
fishing domiciles in the District and
occupying them for a few weeks or
months of the year, simply to avoid
the inehitance tax of the States in
which they actually have their resi-
dence.
Cuts Two Ways
Such eVasions not only work a
hardship On the states which have
hardship on the States which have
expect to derive benefits from the
estates, but also deprive the District
OF a means of increasing it's reYe.
nue.. according to King.
The Senator regards the income
tax as a legitimate field for raising
local taxes and declares that such a
method would give the Capital a
profitable and secure source of reve-
nue..
The proposal to establish tax on
income in the District has already
met with widespread approval on
Capitol Hill. Representative John c..
Schafer of Wisconsin has announced
his intention Of introducing at the
coming session Of the House a bill
which would put such system into
effect here.
Senator King would also establish
new theory of fiscal relations be-
tween the Federal and District gov.
ernments.
Boost In Other Taxes
1t is his idea that residents of
the District should pay in total
individual taxes an amount equal to
that paid by individual citizens of
comparable cities throughout the
country. BY this he means taxes
from all sources on personal pro-
perty, on realty, on intangible, etc.
After residents of this city had paid
this tax, the Federal Government,
in his opinion, should then appro.
pirate enough money to pay for any
expenses of the city over and above
the amount Of the income derived
from taxation
Such a method would be eminently
fair, Senator King said. both to
the District and to the Federal
Government.
King also announced today that
he is working on a scheme for a
general codification Of the corporate
law of the District. He also would
revise the judicial system here with
a view to expediting the admins
tration of justice.

N 'LEOD To PUSH
D. c. AUTO
BILLS

Representative Clarence J.
Mcleod of Michigan is pre-
pairing to push with renewed
vigor two bills of vital i'm
portance to automobile owners
and drivers of the District.
One of these Is a measure which
would require automobile owners to
obtain official certificates Of .heir
title to the machine. The other is a
revised liability bill, designed to pro-
tect financially those who may sut-
fer personal or property damage as
result of automobile accidents.
VIII Push Passage
Mcleod has already introduced the
bills in the House, and, upon his re.
turn from Michigan, will take steps
to obtain their rapid passage. The
bills. however, cannot receive the at.
tention of the House, it is believed,
until after the regular session con.
venes in December.
The liability bin is regarded as
substitute for the threatened meas
ure requiring compulsory insurance
| for the indemnification of those dam.
aged by automobiles. 1t is said to
have the support OF large orgdntza-
tions of automobile owners and
| drivers.
Suspend License
| The bill provides for the revoca-
| ton and suspension of motor vehicle
! operators or chauffeur's licenses and
registration certificates upon convic.
ton of reckless driving. driving
while under the influence of liquor
or leaving the scene of an accident
without making identity known.
Thereafter the drivers permit and
the automobile registration certifi
cate could not be removed until the
owner shall have given proof of his
ability to respond in damages result
| ing from the ownership or operation
OF a motor vehicle and arising by rea-
son Of personal injury to or death
of any one person of at least $4,000
| or $4,000 for any two persons killed
| or injured and OF at least $1,000
for property damage.
| Licenses and registration cards
of those who shall have failed to
meet judgments against them. rem.
dered by a competent court, for
damages to life and property grow
ing out of automobile accidents
would also be revoked. Under these
circumstances the permit and reg
! istration cards could not he re-
newed until proof Of financial re-
sponsibility in the same amounts
should be given.
Could Give Bond
The proof Of responsibility might
be in the form of insurance cer-
tificates, the bond of surety com.
pany or deposit Of money or col
lateral in the amount of $1,000
with the clerk of the District Su.
preme Court.
The bill also covers out.of.town
cars operated in the District and
makes the director of traffic the
agent of nonresident owners for
the purpose of service of process.
