SENATORS ATTEMPT TO USURP
EXECUTIVE POWER FAILS

President Hoover in no uncertain terms

that they could not usurp the powers of the
executive department of the Government.
Shortly before Christmas the Senate
confirmed the appointment of Messrs Smith,
Garsaud and Draper as members of the re-
Gently authorized Power Commission. Be

ors thoroughly Investigated the fitness of
these gentlemen and recommended their con-
firmation.
Two of the subordinates of the Commits

employees caused the ire of the ever right
Gus Senators to reach boiling point, and af-
ter much debate resolution introduced by
Senator Walsh, of Montana calling for the
reconsideration of the confirmation of the
Commission was passed by close VOTE
President Hoover promptly, and also
very forcibly informed the Senate that
their request would not be acceeded to- He
pointed out to the House of Lords, what they
already knew, that if there were charges of

long since awakened to the fact that the

the minute they have came out of every run

Newspaper advertising is the most effective and
many times the cheapest class Of coverage for the
merchant. But as we say, during recent years, the
false prophets of other classes OF what is termed
direct by mail advertising have sought to convince
the seller of goods that his method is more
eraive than the tried and true method of newspaper
advertising.
Most of the "direct by mail advertising" goes in
to the waste paper basket where the home town pa
per is found The advertiser should consider
this angle, when he is determining his advertising

CITY CLERK TO COLLECT
 TERR. TAXES ON MOTOR CARS

A change in the Territory's method of collecting auto license taxes will be made January L, according to announcement made by Walstein G. Smith. Territorial Treasurer. who has designated as collectors of such fees the city clerks of some municipalities and United States Commissioners in others.
 Formerly the licenses have been collected by regular tax collectors of the Territory, or directly through the Treasurer's office. The new collectors are allowed a com mission of per cent on all fees collected.
 The new system was created by Chapter S3, Session Laws of Alas ka 1881. which also imposed a tax on $10 on all kinds of motor vehicles. including delivery trucks and motorcycles which have not been taxed by the Territory in past years.
 Two license plates, instead of one will be issued by the Terri tory beginning January 1, under the law which requires them to be attached to the vehicle so as to be visible from both rear and front. Where a municipality has a full- time, paid City Clerk. such officer has been appointed collector of automobile licenses. In all ether places, the United States Com missioners have been designated.
 The law is effective now. but taxes are not due until January 1. next year. A provision in the Statute requires its achievements by the United States Marshals of the several divisions.
