LEGISLATURES AND FISHERIES

The announcement that Henry OMalley, commiss- loner of fisheries has been invited appear before the Alaska legislature and exchange ideas with the purpose III view of arriving at purely economic viewpoint with respect to salmon canning indicates that the legislature no longer intends to allow the delegate to congress to domnate 1t and will in accordance with the purpose of their election nect the peoples voice into the situation In this attitude looms the passing of political pgskin that has been punted all the Territory since 1920
 Likewise long step has been taken in the direction of Territorial control of such matters the fisheries in that the legislature will have opportunity to demon strae conclusive if its office is capable of administer ing the resource which everyone but the delegate appar antly believes 1t is.
 The opportunity presents itself to demonstrate whether not the canning industry is serve as pot ca big Bertha or is question to be handled its merits with everybody given due consideration instead as for merly, subject for legislation reprisas.
 At the worst, splendid neutral ground has been es tabllshed Whereon the contention between the delegate and the fisheries may be shelved and entirely new approachment be had.
 The conference and findings of the commissioner of flshees and the legislature will reveal the true state of affairs and how well the legislators play their parts will determine the justice of the demand for turning the fish eres over to the Territory It is time honored maxim with the bureaus that Alaskans do disclose what they deslre Here IS an opportunity to show them.

Few persons who are stopped and

way about the city afoot or by mo-

to appreciate the amount Of con-
sideration and concern that is given
to the operating of the system Of
traffic regulation by those having it
in charge. 1t is not a hit-or-miss
proposition by any means, as city
officials and policemen who have
spent their time and given their eff
forts to setting up the system and
correcting it as the need arises, can
testify. and despite the improve
ments that are made from time to
time. they are not content to rest,
but continue to study their problem
and try as best they can TO solve 1t.

VALUATION PLAN
Nine Mile Railroad Out Of St.
Louis Is Plaintiff

Washington, Jan. s R-The gov
eminent brought forward its battery
Of big legal guns yesterday to repel
the attack made by the st. Louis
and O'Fallon railroad on the methods
of the interstate commerce commits
sion in valuing railroad properties.
George W. Nickersham, former
attorney general, and Walter L.
Fisher, former secretary of the in
terror, both in the Taft cabinet, We're
called upon in the supreme court
TO defend the valuation placed upon
the ninc-mile Inc. The decision RAY
affect all of the railroads in the
United States, inasinuch us the valu-
alton finally accepted will guide the
commission in making rates.
Mr.. Fishers bret held that should
the railroad win it would moan that
the valuation of S1S,900, 900, 900
which the commission had estimated
for all interstate railroads must be
increased approximately GO per cent
or more than s11 100000 600 with

congress had intended should enter

STATES FACING
Battle ON TAXES
Hearing on Resolution to Allow
Recovery Of Payments

Washington, Jan. lP>-Develop-
ments before the house ways and
terday on the resolution seeking to
permit states to sue the federal gov
eminent for recovery of 100000
600 allegedly illegally collected di-
rect taxes in 1866, 1867 and SGS in
dicated that the states face siren
uous battle. The resolution has been
adopted by the senate.
States rights, statutes of llmita-
tons and definite claims Were de-
bated between the witnesses, Sena-
tor Stephens, democrat, MISSISSIPPI,
and Burton Schmitt, of Brooklyn,
N. Y. representing New York, and
"a other states involved in the
claims, and committee members.
Chairman Hawley read a letter
from Attorney General Sargent eN-
pressing the opinion that the matter
should go before the court OF
claims and not to the supreme court
as provided in the resolution.
In another letter read, Secretary
Mellon informed the committee that
several hundreds of mollions of dol
lars would be required ito settle all
claims with respect to internal rev
enue taxes since 1868, alleged TO
have been Illegally collected or on
which the statutes of limitations
have run against the taxpayers.
This amount is, of course he
added, sin addition to the amounts
aggreeating over S40N, 00o GOO col
iected in 1866, 1867 and 1861
The treasury secretary, who had
been asked for statement regard
ing the claims, also held that it was
doubtful if any search of the rec
ords would produce Information
upon which an accurate statement
might be based. He pointed ont that
some of the records had been de-
stroyed with congressional consent
Senator stephens said the limited
States ought to pay its debts and
that ''if there is any doubt that so
many states and people have been
treated unjustly, the question of the
constitutionality of these federal di-
rect taxes should be decided by the
supreme court"
Representative Chindblom. repub-
lican, Illinois. argued that the sta
tute of limitations had run out and
that the states evidently had been
lax in pushing their claims. Stcph
ems declared there never had been
q time since the direct taxes We're
passed that some contest had not
been waged to test them.

FLU SITUATION
 IS IMPROVING

The influence situation im- proved considerably during the past week, although a number of new cases were reported.
 Most of those who became early victims of the malady, al- belt decidedly weak from their experience, are able to be about again. Conditions in Stewart are also reported much better at present.
 The epidemic danger is by no past, however, and those who have not contracted the disease, should continue to observe the precautionary measures advocated by the health authorities when the disorder first appeared. Those who have had the flu should also give due heed to the injunctions, as they are no more immune than those who have not, had it and may suf- fer further attacks if exposed to infection, according to emi- nent medical authorities.
 Late reports from Premier in- dicate a considerable number of cases in the camp.

ALASKA AIDED
 HOOVER CAMPAIGN

Alaskans responded enthusi- astically to the invitation to contribute to the Republican national campaign fund, ac- cording to Captain A. E. Lath- rop, Republican national com mitteeman for Alaska.
 Early in the campaign says the Anchorage Times, Captain Lathrop appointed representa- tives in the various Alaska communities to have charge of the collection of campaign funds to further the election of Hoover and there was splendid response in virtually all quarters, Anchorage being the only large town in the Ter ritory which failed to contrib ute to the fund. Captain Lath-  rop estimates that the total amount of contributions will be in excess of $4,O00, of which amount Fairbanksans pledged about $500 at the first Hoover for-president meeting held in the interior city. That the sup. port of Alaskans is appreciat- ed, is indicated by a very cord. ial letter which Captain Lath- rop has received from Hubert Work, head of the Republican national organization.
