SURPRISE TEST SHOWS LOCAL
MILK SUPPLY RATES HIGHLY

doubtedly milk has played promi-
nent part in bringing about this
amazing increase in the average
length of human life. The increased
milk consumption in late years las
very likely had much TO do with the
steadily lengthening period of the
average human life.
Proper nourishment is perhaps
more essential in the treatment and
prevention of some ailment as any
medicine. In many cases the phy-
sician recommends the liberal use
of milk as the main article Of diet
in the treatment on certain diseases.
He has long ago learned its high
food value. quick digestibility and
almost instantaneous assimilation
into the blood.
This contest was conducted by

FILED FOLLOWING
COURT ACQUITTAL

Another chapter was written into
the Medaueaux Crowell- Graham VS..
Pentecoste feud today when j. T.
Medqueaux was acquitted by Judge
Kendall B. Perkins, acting for Judge
I. Mayfield, of charge of entering

heels of Medqueaux acquittal came
filing OF q $1,000 damage suit for
alleged malicious prosecution, with
Medqueaux as plaintiff and Sue

defendants.
The charge of entering a house
under color of authority was filed
against Medqueaux on complaint
of r. T. Pentecos:e.
In his complaint for damages,
however, Medqueaux went back to
another prosecution, when Sue Pen
tecoste signed complaint charging
him with grand theft. The COM
plant was signed September 20,
1890, and q warrant OF arrest is
sued for the accused, he said in his
complaint A preliminary hearing
before Judge l. Mayfield resulted in
dismissal of the charge because of
insufficient evidence.
Trouble between the plaintiff and
defendants began when Aida Gra-
ham, Ben Crowell and Medqueaux
entered a house occupied by Mrs.
Pentecoste, and forcibly removed
furniture belonging to Mrs. Gra-
ham. Mrs. Pentecoste charged that
Medoueaux represented himself as
an officer.

by Mrs. Pentecoste against the three,
and small judgment returned in
her favor by Judge Vaughn N.

Dear Mr. FirestOne:


Above reproduce part of of the newspaper and

which Firestone tires compared with "a mail order tire
Montgomery Ward g. Co. is the oldest mail order house
America. So when you say mail order, many people
ally think first of Montgomery Ward & Co.
But the specifications of the mail order tire listed in
Frestone advertising fall far short of the specifications of
Montgomery Ward g. Co. tires You have also stated in
your advertising that "a mail order tire made by
known manufacturer Well Wards made by
the largest and best known rubber companies America
company, fact that is larger than your company
Mr. Firestone Furthermore, your advertising says Com

REACTION TO GENERAL SALES TAX
 UNAVOIDABLE.

Pending in the Legislature in an inactive condi- ton is a measure sponsored by Senator Luther C' Hess providing for general sales tax, with certain commodities excepted for one-haf of one per cent. That is to say, on every commodity covered by the bill if it is enacted, buyers will pay one-half of one per cent. tax which, of course Will De aooeo to the sales price by the seller.
 Reaction throughout the Territory has been an- favorable to the proposal Newspapers, which usually are accurate barometers of public opinion, from Ketchikan to Fairbanks have condemned it without reservation Possibly the same sentiment was ex- pressed at Nome, but Nome papers published since the bill introduced have not been fecelVeo here. The Anchorage Times estimates It would cost $50 per capita annually to Alaska taxpayers The News Miner of Fairbanks, was scornful Of the proposition The Cordova Times characterized 1t as an obviously unfair" tax, one that would place Alaska business houses at disadvantage with mail order houses whose volume of trade in the North has already reached alarming proportions
 The sales tax is not novel in theory. It mas been toyed with many times for years by lawmakers and economists. Always it has been discarded in favor of taxation property. Alaska has no gen. eral property tax system But it's system of license fees and tax on production and incomes in some measure takes its place. If to resort to a general sales tax the experiment should be made only if relief is granted from our present system in the shape of reductions all along the line.
 It may be true that the average resident of the Territory does not contribute noticeably to the Territorys revenues Our tax system does not bur- den the individual rather putting it on industry If the Territory continues to expand it's activities in the several fields and enters new fields, 1t must find new revenue sources, and about the only one left is the individual If the sales tax is un- acceptable to the general public, some other form will have to be devised For it is evident that our industries cannot pay much higher rates and con- tinue to exist and some kind of tax system that reaches the individual resident will have to come unless expenditures sharply curbed
 system of taxation that rested generally upon the individual would not after all be unmixed evil. The immediate result of such system would be to inculcate in the individual sense of re- sponsibility in Government, a questioning of new ventures in governmental aides and scrutiny of appropriations to if they for bona fide functions, necessary for the public welfare, if

Hippodrome Justice.

 For long time it has been noticeable that the Courtrooms of America far too small.

 The expected of course is about to happen. Numbers of Judges and attorneys long have toyed with the idea of broadcastng trial proceedings.

 While this trend toward justice free theat- rcal amusement has been going relentlesly, thoughtful people worry about the lost dignity of the law and of the Courts Some solernnly submit that dressing the Court.s and perhaps the counsel in the traditional black robes would bring added dignity. It would be dignity only in appear ance So long as Judges exist who are willing to make hippodromes of their Courts, their kind of justice will receive the respect that is due hippo drome, and their kind of justice will continue to infect the publics regard for all Courts.

they tended to become of the pork barrel" variety And that sense is sorely lacking today. We have become accustomed to spending the revenues and passing the burden along the few industries that have gained a foothold here I and when, every resident must assume his proportionate share of added burdens there will be fewer of them.
 It is not likely that Senator Hess expected the Legislature to enact hs measure into law. It is probable that he brought it out to induce people to give little more thought to and appro- priatons than has been done in past years If that is true he has achieved his end. It remains to be seen whether the thinking will be productive of beneficial results

Weep Thy Golden Tears.
(New York Herald -Tribune.)

Spring poets who have the welfare of their contry at heart will specialize this in the de- lights of vernal showers, and will encourage April little possible in her golden laughter. This is no time to sing of merry sunshine and clear skies. It is time to exalt floods and downpours mud puddles, overfowing gutters, fog chill dampness and all other manifestations of the gentle rain from heaven for these afflictons unpleasant though they may be in normal times, are far less disagreeable than would be the effects of real shortage of water, by which the city is threatened
 April began well with all-day storm. She should be encouraged. She has goodly supply of the spring rains which desperately needed and can, no doubt answer all our prayers, if she be made to understand that we take back all said about the sunbeams and desire nothing but water in abundance. Too much in the past have grumbled about the cold April rains. Let no one complain this season. We have had an abnormal amount of sunshine all winter. Let us be propagandists in praise of bad weather, and unless some modern poet has something better to offer, let adopt the national refrain for April,
 And the rain it raineth every day.
