From Prince Rupert News.

 A communication received by Mayor c. H. Amre from Hon. Ed gar N. Rhodes, federal minister of fisheries, in connection with the proposal that the govern ment might bonus Canadian halibut to the extent of two cents per pound, declares that this would have no useful effect on shipments, as under the United States tariff, a bonus of this kind would be automatic ically absorbed by being added to the regular duty rate.
 In connection with the with holding of clearances to hail. but vessels for ten days after en-. tering, the minister states that

 No Answer Possible
 MT. Faulkner contended that the Circuits Courts decision in this action is in effect a holding that the statute under attack is void and, in the argument before the District Court, it was con- tended that no answer could be filed which would constitute defense to the plaintiffs conl- plaint.
 He referred to the language of the Appellate Courts decision az tolloWs Does the Territorial Act Of 1929 deny to citizens of the United States, rights guar the United States? He holds that decision of the courts binGs Alaska to the guarantee. He al- so pointed to the following para graph of the same decision: We are of the opinion therefore, that there is a plain and ire cOncileable conflict between the act of Congress and the act of the Territorial Legislature, and in such cases the latter must yield.-Empire.

 It is generally conceded that this tax will be again presented two years hence and it will not be so easily downed
 For the information of our readers, and others We pass on the following facts:
 Retail gasoline sales are taXel in every state in the Union. 4 few states take cents of the retail price of every gallon sold,: while others take only 2 cents. The first tax was levied by Ore- gOn in 1919 when l cent a gallon was levied. Two other states immediately followed the lead of Oregon that year. Two other states followed in 1920 and the list continued to grow until even the state of New York followed in 1929.
 Florida, Georgia and South Carolina have 6 cent tax; Ken lucky, New Mexico, Montana, North Carolina, Arkansas, Louis- jana, Mississippi, Tennessee and Virginia take 5 cents; Oregon, Nevada, Texas, Alabama, Co., orado, Idaho, South Dakota, Nebraska, Idaho, South Dakota New Hampshire OklanOma Ohio, West Virginia.

OREGON TRAP DECISION

The legality of traps in Alas kas has been challenged not a few times. The claim is set forth that the trap is Q special privilege contrary to the law of 1924 which specifically provides that fishing shall be general
 In Oregon lest May, the gill nctters asked the courts for an Injunction against the Barbey Fish Company to prevent them from operating fish traps and a fish dock in the Columbia Rive' from Sand Spit Island. Recent ly the courts held that the Bar bey Fish Company could not interrupt the free drift" of the gill netters so the Instructions must be removed. The company has appealed the decision to the higher courts.
 This case has a very important bearing on the trap issue in tEe Territory where the law of 1924 specifically provides that where any gear operates, any other gear might be operated. But un- der the regulations no seine or ether type of gear may be oper- ated whining 100 yards, any di.- rectiOn, from a trap.

Declares in London That New

LONDON, Scot. IA 0.NS0.-
Repeal of the eighteenth amend
ment would do more toward en-
abling New York City to purge
herself of crime than any other
one measure that could be taken,
Mayor James Walker declared
in an interview today.
The mayor had just returned
from 10 Downing St.. where he
had luncheon with Prime Min
lister Ramsay Macdonald. The

Premier Macdonald. He had
enough of his own. Perhaps

premier; Dudley Field Malone,
New York lawyer; Sir william
JOwitt, attorney general, and
Lady JOwitt; the MarqueSS of

ert Van Sittart, of the Foreign
Office, and Lady Van Sittart,
and Sir Harry GlOster Armstrong,
former British Consul General in
New York, and Lady Armstrong.
Suffering from a severe cold ag-
gravated by what was believed
to be a mild attack of food
poisoning, the New York execu-
tive made his scheduled visit to
London solely because of the ap-
pointment with the premier. He
said:
81 could not resist the Op-
pOrtunity to meet Premier Mac
Donald again. He is a real
mana man of courage, abil-
ity, and clear sight"
