CITY CLERKS TO COLLECT
 TAXES IN AUTOMOBILES

A change in the Territory's meth cd of collecting automobile license taxes will be made January I, 1t was announced recently in Juneau by Walstein G. Smith, Territorial Treasurer, who has designated as collectors of such fees, the city clerks of the various municipalities and the United States commission CTS in others, says the Empire.
 Formerly the licenses have been of the Territory, or directly thru collected by regular tax collectors the Treasurer's office. The new collectors are allowed commission of five per cent on all fees collected.
 The new system was created by Chapter 83, Session Laws of Alaska, 1881, which also imposed 3 tax of $10 on all kinds of motor vehicles including delivery trucks and mo- torcycles which have not been taxed by the Territory in past years.
 Two license plates, instead of one, will be issued by the Territory beginning January l, under the law which requires them to be attached to the vehicles 50 as to be visible from both rear and front.
 Where municipality has 9 full time, paid city clerk. such officer has been appointed collector of au- tomoble licenses. Tn all other places the United States Commis- sioners have been designated as the official collectors.
 The law is effective now, but taxes are not due until January l, next year. A provision of the Stat ute requires it's enforcement by the United States Marshals of the sev- eral divisions.

amounts and because their presence
is neutralized by those substances
which had caused the water to be

plumbing fixtures retard bacterial
action in a septic tank?
Answer: Ordinary reagents, such
as coal oil. acid and alkah used in
cleaning sinks, will have no effect

YOU, YOU, YOU

One curious characteristic of
many of our modern songs-it is al
most habits the constant recur-
renee of you" in the wording. It
is kind of direct address fashion,
a personal appeal rage, in our pres
ent singing style. Hardly do uor
crooners and whisperers and whin-
ers lift up, or depress, their voices
any more about things or about per-
sons. 1t is always "to" someone.
The ballard style of after the
BALI; the lyric outburst of "The
Good Old Summer Time; the touch
ing philOsOphic of "I'm Forever
Chasing Rainbows"; the humorous
descriptive of "Yes, We Have No
Bananas"-all are modes of the past.
Now the rude Wallets of song address
their words to some person suppos-
edly in their presence-"you, you,
you" Possibly singing into, or at,
the microphone is responsible. Any
way, the mike" doesn't have to wor-
ry about the chanter's halitosis or
B. o. in this slightly indicate

mOny. Come on, song writer's, and
