BEYOND THE SUNSET

Of the many tributes to the memory of Thomas Edison which have been printed in newspapers and magazines since the great mans death, an editorial in the Bemidji (Minn.) Sentinel, deserves special mention. The editorial fol- lows:
 The last obituaries have all been written, now, and the last funeral orations and telegraphed tributes have been read and digest ed. But the race that Thomas Edi- son served will remember for long, long time-for as long, perhaps, as it remembers Edison himself-that final, surprising little remark that came from his deathbed: Tt is very beautiful over there"
 Will there ever be a biography of the man that does not contain that quotation? Probably not; for it represents one of those strange hints that are tossed out to us now and then-those strange hints that dying man can, on occasion, peer through the veil, see what lies beyond, and seeing, be dazzled by the fulfillment of a half-trust- ed dream.
 Now the interpretations of it, of course, will vary. There will be plenty of people to assure us that the dying man was simply suffer ing from a delirium. In time, probably, some biographer will in- sist that the remark was never actually made. There is no surer way farousing contradiction than to imply that visible reality is only shadow to cloak something in finitely more profound that lies beyond it
 But there will be others who will not look at it that way. The world, after all, is not 80 idyllic la place that mankind in general is content to see in death only the stopping of worn-out machine We have not yet outgrown the QCSlAH lO pass OS1Onu -AuG 6uuScl. Edison at the point of death, look ed into the sky and saw some thing beautiful; must we assume that fever was playing tricks with his brain-that brain which was never tricked before?
 "We can take it as we wish. Those to whom disbelief is precious will look at it one way, and those who feel otherwise will look at it, in another. Only one thing is certain. It will be remembered for centuries.
 For that, when you come down to it. is the way the human heart is made. It questions, doubts and rejects-and then. at the last, clutches at a chance to believe. Edison, the solver of mysteries, the worker of miracles, dropped at his death a remark to focus the attention of his fellows on the greatest and oldest mystery of all.
 And he himself, now, has solved it."

 While taxes are generally re- garded as being an affliction which We must bear with more or less Tortitude, We all realize that they are a fundamental part of life and must be so regarded. The only question is an equal and just taxa tion and it would certainly seem that Alaskans in order to arrive at a just taxation, should exert all effort to get the dual system abolished by the repeal Of the Federal system and an equitable Territorial system effected to GOV CT all licenses.

DUAL Tax SYSTEM

The vislr 10 nrangen ms Week of the IerulorIal 4aN ooiieetor, Impresses us anew wlIh the dual sysaem or taxation in Alaska. 1nls mas come apouI through the Yari- ous departments which have mad charge oL AIaska's government.
 TOT ten years alter the formal transfer or Alaska from Russia 10 the umted States in 1s67, the territory was nominally governed Dy lne war Department. The troops were wltndrawn in 1877 ana for the next two years the affairs of Alaska were administered by the treasury Department, through a aepuIy collector oI customs. Then the Navy Department had charge unIll 1904 when an Act of Con- gress established clYIl govern ment in the territory. A section or thls act extended over Alaska Inc Iaws oI the SJaIe or Oregon as lar as applicable, created a judicial uIstrlct and gave an admlnistra- tive system to the Territory which lneluueu a system under the judi clary oI taxation through lees im- posed on trade, occupation and uuslness licenses.
 In 1912 Congress passed an Or ganlc Act for Alaska, the only charter We nave for the type of Territorial government We are en- Joy1ng and the only one of it's kind ever in existence under the tinted States flag.
 Provision was made for a Ter rItorial legislature and authority given to the legislature to set up its own system Of taxation, which it did at the first opportunity. Af- ter passing the Organic Act Con- gress then neglected to repeal the Federal taxation measure with the consequence that a dual system of taxation was forced on Alas kans. Some license fees are fixed at a flat rate while others are based on the gross business done.
 The untairness of a fixed h- eense lee is at once apparent. Every man in the transfer business, to note just one instance, pays a $50 license fee regardless of the ex- tent Of his business. He may operate one small truck or a fleet or large ones, the fee is the same in both cases.
 License fees of mercantile busi- nesses are contingent upon the gross business done, which is fair and just. A mercantile license is a Federal license under the Judi cial Department. The fee is paid to the U. s. District Clerk and lat CT is refunded to the municipality if it originated in an incorporated town. For this reason, the town councils are always very much in- terested as to whether the mer- chants are making a reasonable return.
 Outside of incorporated towns, Federal license fees are deposited in the Treasury Department of the United States where they make up the Alaska Fund, sixty-fiYe per cent of which goes to roads, twenty-five percent to schools and ten percent to indigents.
 The dual system means a dis erlminatory system of taxation as paid through license fees. One man pays according to the amount of business he does, while another pays a flat fee which is bound to pc too high in some cases and too

J. D. Sales, reports the Juneau Dispatch, will leave Juneau short ly to do work on mining property in the Stikine river district. In answer to questions, Mir. Sales said: Some day We believe that there will be operations in that section as are in progress about Juneau. There are big leads of low-grade gold quartz running all the way from $1 to s6 per ton.
 At the present time the main difficulty to the development of this camp is the lack of transpor- tation. It is now rather difficult to get supplies up the Stikine 'riv- CT. But there is nothing in the way of building a railroad from tidewater, near Wrangell, up the Stikine river a distance of 90 miles to the canyon which would take it past the mining district, and afford economical means of bring ing out the ore and taking in supplies. A few of us have been hanging on to our properties there. confident that the time will come when large capital will take hold and develop the district"
