CORPORATION TAXES

In spite of all the political bunk to the contrary, the giant corpora tions do not, in the exact sense, pay taxes. They cannot.
 This is unfortunate but it is true. The people pay the taxes-whether they be millionaires or day labor CTS, and there are a good many more day laborers than millionaires, even in boom times. They pay taxes when they write a check for the meat, electric or grocery bill, when they purchase a house and lot or a package of playing cards, when they smoke a cigarette or take a spin in the car.
 Our gigantic corporations have no magical means Of producing money from the air. They can get It only from the people to whom they sell their commodities Or serv- ices. All costs necessary to the running of business, whether they be taxes, labor or purchase of supplies, must be passed along to the customer. And the customer. in the aggregate, is all of us.
 Consequently, next time you

A NEW NORWAYf

Ray Lyman Wilbur, secretary of the interior, writing in Current History, said that Alaska missed becoming a new Norway"
 We suggest that MT. Wilbur visit this section of Alaska. Then he would realize that the Territory did not miss becoming a new Norway or at least new Scandinayia-by 8 very wide margin.
 The article explains that ''in 1874 an attempt was made to colo nize Alaska with Norwegians, who were then leaving their own coun- try in large numbers, and a dele gation was taken to Alaska on a United States man of war. They were pleased with what they saw, declaring that the Kodiak archipel- ago and the coast or Cook Inlet were far superior in natural re- sources to their old-world home. Unfortunately, before favorable re- port was in the hands Of the gov ernment, the tide of immigration had turned to Canada and our Northwestern states.'
 But the Scandinavians did come to Alaska. They came just as they do to all frontier countries. There Is something of the trail-blazer about them, whether on the halibut fishing banks of the north Pacific or on the blizzard swept prairies of the Dakotas.
 They have done and are doing much to build Alaska The debt we owe them should not be. forgotten. -Cordoya Times.

had all the money he needed in or der to get along"
 In the Cassiar country in 1874 MT. Ffnlayson met Duncan McKin- non, a fellow countryman. A year later Mir. McKinnon came to Wran- gell and engaged in the mercantile business. In 1887 Finlayson came to Wrangell and made his home with the McKinnon family until the death of MT. and Mrs. McKin- non.
 For some years past "Old Uncle John," as he was familiarly called, made his home in a cabin at the rear of the City Store, and was sup ported by Donald Sinclair. About a year ago he was granted pioneers pension of s10 a month.
 Uncle John was not ladies' man. One of the remarkable things about his life was that he lived over a hundred years without any matri- monial entanglements. Last year a woman who was a stranger here met Uncle John in the City Store and engaged him in conversation. Ow- ing to his advanced age she was in terested in his past and asked ques- tions concerning his early adven- lures in the north. Forgetting for the moment that it was Leap Year she asked him if he had ever mar ried. He promptly replied: "Not yet"
 Uncle Johns hobby was fishing. Whenever the weather would permit he could usually be found fishing off the dock. Two years ago a hali- but over eight feet long took his hook. He tied the line and got a row boat and went out by himself and brought in the halibut which was more than twice his own weight.
 Uncle Johns funeral was held in Redmen's hall Tuesday forenoon. Interment was made in the wran- gell cemetery, the body being buried alongside the graves of MT. and Mrs. Duncan McKinnon. It was Un- cle John who originally laid out the McKinnon plat in the cemetery and with stakes and logs marked off a place for grave for himself, also.
 Uncle John was a man of remark able vitality, and was in possession of his faculties to the last. He sat up in a chair less than two hours

John Finlayson, the oldest man in Alaska, passed away in Wran- gell on Jan. z, 1917. The exact age of Mir. Finlayson was not known. but there is little doubt that he had lived at least 106 years. He remem- bered the battle of Waterloo which occurred 102 years ago.
 John Finlayson was born near Strathpeffer in Rosshire in the north of Scotland. At an early age he was indentured as an apprentice at the tailor's trade. He woked as journeyman tailor in the city of Glasgow for several years previous to the enactment of the Reform laws in 1892.
 In 1S49 MT. Finlayson was lured from his native land to America by the discovery of gold in California. When he reached the gold fields the excitement had somewhat subsided and he remained there but a short time. He is known to have been in Canada as early as 1853.
 In commenting upon his death. Fred Lynch said: ''I first knew John f1niayson in the Frazer river coun- try in 1858. He was an old man then. Even at that time his hair and beard were gray. I also knew him in the Caribou country, and in the Cassiar, and in other places in canada. I never knew him to work day for any one else. In this he was typical prospector. He never made any big stakes, but generally

Again we have q varied glove
mode, and again gloves bought
for certain costumes, so it takes
quite a bit of care to be sure
you have the right things to-
gether. There's nothing start
lingly new about the spring
gloves, but there are develop
mentS that are we'll worth
studying, and if you would get
along with as few gloves as
possible, you must be sure you
buy the right gloves in the
first place.
Fabrics Accepted
While We are wearing dark
clothes, blue, black or beige
spring coats, we stick to gloves
that match the coat or suit,
or in the case of beige, that
match the other accessories.
Black glace kid are still favor
ties for black, blue with blue,
and brown with beige. Some
beige gloves are worn with blue
too, in harmony with furs, or
not trying to match anything.
The plain Slip-on is still the
favorite, though some women
prefer trimmed gloves, and the
demi-mousquetaire is popular,
too, especially for rather formal
wear, as the buttons at the
wrist give a bit snugger fit.
Fabric gloves are worn for
street more than ever. They
are now considered not just
a Shopping glove" and are
often chosen in trimmed styles.
They are dark now, and will
be white or eggShell as summer
comes on. The new types are
flared above the wrist.
Mesh for Sports

most change and interest, how.

"Scarface" is undoubtedly the best
