TAX PAYING MADE EASY

The above caption caught When saw in the
Monitor thought how could such thing be
possible However while it will be made easyyet after
reading willing that it could perhaps be
easier We quote editorial from The Monitor
Paying be made for the property
of Knoxville, Tenn The method devised will keep
steady flow of coming the treasury
the drain be ghtened by allowing
him pay in quarterly nstalments. To those who

70 OF paid by borrowing
be expected that there will be many Knoxville who will
avail themselves of the installment option Tremendous
Wastage is involved IN delayed payment of taxes The
added the bills themselves by penalties for
making payment within the prescribed time limit and
interest loans into large yearly. But it
may be that the Knoxville plan does far enough
Why cannot the payment be divided into twelve
stallments and thus be made increasingly easy? Then
would be met in the the monthly
telephone lighting and bills Perhaps banks could be
designated OF the city for convenience

be advantageous from many standpoins Tax
clubs have attracted considerable savings
purposes also workable for those who
are Systematically but the nstalment plan of
meeting definite dates appears especially sound
Tax paying made eayhat is consummaton devoutly to

 There are some interesting stories coming out of Hoonah not to the credit of the repre- sentative of the U. s. Indian Bureau which will bear a. bit of Investigation. For instance, it .s said that he furnished the mo- ney to Slim Lewis to purchase the boat used in transporting the illicit liquor which was given to young boys and girls. Report from this otherwise quiet com- have been anything but good and it is being urged that the superintendent of the Indian Department take a squint into the affairs at Hoonah.

Washington Newsletter
 By Will A. Steel

The people generally from all sections of Alaska have been en : tirely satisfied with the opera tion of the Washington Alaska Military Cable and Telegraph System. The service rendered end the tariff charged have been acceptable and the suggestion ! that the government authorize the sale of this system of com munication has met with a pre-. test from practically every sec ltion of the Territory as we'll as from the Pacific coast states. Tn the last Congress bill was sub- mitted by the War Department to authorize the Secretary of War ito sell in parcels or as a whole" the Alaska Communica- tion System. The bill was referr- led to committee but no action taken, and the report that d similar bill was to be introduced in the present Congress again caused consternation through out the Territory. Delegate Wickersham made a special plea to Secretary Hurley to not again introduce this bill, and set forth the various reasons why the government should not dispose Of the system.
 A very gratifying reply has just been received from Douglas MacArthur, General Chief of Staff, at the request of Secretary Hurley, who enclosed various correspondence with the Presi- dent, and ended with the signi- f1cant and very pleasing para graph: "As you will see from this correspondence, the War Department is in general agree ment with your point of view Tn the absence of further in lstructions, the Department does not intend to reintroduce the
 legislation in question"
 In addressing President Hoov CT on the important subject Sec
 retary Hurley among othei things said: T am enclosing . letter from the Alaska Delegate
 dated Nov. 2, 1881, wherein h.
 urges on the part of the people of Alaska that no legislation bt initiated authorizing the sale Q. the Alaska Communication

system. As expressed in my let ter of Dec. 3, 1880, the War De partment, per SC, had no objec- tion to this sale; however, it AS understood that the committee which originated the recom- mendation for sale did not al any time obtain a pertinent ex- preSSion from the reople or gov elnment of Alaska. This being the case, it would appear that the enclosed letter of the Dele gate might well be taken into consideration before resubmit~ ting legislation to Congress-"
 The President undoubtly took into consideration the letter o1 the Delegate with the result that the sale of the system will not be authorized, and the people ol Alaska will ever hold in grate full remembrance the kindly consideration of their interests by President Hoover and Secre- tary Hurley.
 There will two lectures on Alaska given in Washington this week, both to be illustrated. To night Representative Robert G. Simmons, of Nebraska, who visited the North last summer will talk before the National Grange, and will feature motion pictures made by MT. Simmons while on his trip thru Alaska. On Wednesday night R. Harvey Sargent, topographic engineer of the Alaskan branch of the Geological Survey, will give a lecture before the Y. M. c. A Motion pictures will be shown of ; recent aerial survey in which MT. Sargent participated. He has made g visits to Alaska in con- nection with the survey.
 Rev. Michael Joseph Kippen- brock, who spent three years as rector of the Episcopal church at Cordova, and who came out last August to take the pastor ate of a church at Alexandria, Va, expects to return to Fair banks next April.

 It has been suggested to the Department of Justice that it would be an act Of economy for the government to own the buildings at Mccarthy, Chitna, Kodiak, Unga, Seldova and other localities, which are now being rented. But the Department has not been impressed with the idea.
 Horace M. Albright, Director of National Park Service, spent some time in Mckinley Park last summer and is of the opinion that the boundary lines of the Park should be extended so as tc take in Wonder Lake. He states, however, that he does not favor including any part of the Kantishma mining district.
 Frank Reinosky, of Rampant, and who has spent over twenty years mining and fur trapping in the Interior of Alaska, came out from the north in October and is now in Washington dis cussing Alaska problems with the Delegate.

 Delegate Wickersham h s been carefully studying the ef- feet, if it could be accomplished, of extending the Federal High
 way Act to Alaska. At present l the Alaska Road Commission is expending eight hundred thou sand dollars and the Forrest Service nearly one million dol lars yearly, in the Territory It is the opinion of some of the in terested officials here that If Highway Act were extended to Alaska Congress would consider the needs of the Territory and the sum now being expended and at this time the sum appro- priated might not exceed the amount now being received, while the Territory would be compelled to contribute as its share possibly from three to five hundred thousand dollars year ly as we'll as all costs of en- gineering expenses and all lmaintenance of roads after they have been constructed thru tho joint efforts of the Federal gOv- Iernment and the Territory. The Delegate has been advised not to open up the matter in the Ipresent Congress because of the general inclination to decrease all appropriations. The amount agreed on by tho EldgH5 f5r o,lc Alaska Road Commission for the ensuing year is $650,000 and it will require considerable effort 10 have the sum increased to the $8OO,O00 that the Commission expects to get.
 In his annual report submitted to the President by Secretary ot the Interior Wilbur he states that one of the great latent re- sources of Alaska is it's forests. Thirteen per cent of the nation al forest area of the United States is in Alaska, most of it on the southern coast from Ketchi kan to Cook Inlet. A billion hoard feet annually may be har- vested each year Ninty per cent If all production will be usable for paper. Hydroelectric power sites are abundant.
 
 The annual report of the Sec retary of War shows that during the fiscal year 1881 the Wash ington- Alaska Military Cable and Telegraph System handled traffic as follows: Commercial traffic, This line," $289,431 .4o;; Other lines," $44,584,51; Gov- ernement business, $399,628; to- | tai $673, ,643.94- other line payments $44, ,584.51 - making net credits, $629,O59.43. This is a |ret credit of $6,956.91 over the previous year It is further stat cd that for the past year the Alaska system has been inten- sively engaged on the project to replace the Alaska cable by radio circuits.
