expressly directed that both more
and less than three percent of the
sale price" could be paid by the cus-
toners in order that the merchants
could collect Approximately three
per cent of their total sales volume"
Thus, since merchants are not per-
mitted to charge any tax on sales of
less than 10 cents although they must
pay the three per cent tax on these
sales to the State, it is hence neces-
Sary to permit them to charge a tax
of slightly more than three per cent
on some sales or they would be pen
allied, Director MCMILLAN pointed out
Thus on a sale of 10 cents the mer-
chant is permitted to- charge tax of
one cent. But the customer may at any
time cumulate his or her purchases
and then pay a tax of only three per
cent on the total, if it amounts one
dollar or more.
The authority for setting up Slid
ing scale for the imposition of the
tax is contained in the supplemental
act 10 the Sales Tax Statute, McMul-
Ian pointed out, which directs the
Commissioner of Revenue to set up
rules and regulations under which
retail merchants shall collect from
their customers, by rules uniform to
each class of business. the retail sales
tax. Tkis act further provides that
methods fO. passing the sales tax on
to customers by merchants may in

HINES DEN|ESLACK
OF VETERANS CARE.
disqualification Open to c. C.
c. Workers as Well as
Service Men.

Gen. Frank T. Hines, veterans ad-
n,inistrator, announced today that no
war veteran is being denied hospitaliza-
tion because of the lack of facilities in
veterans administration hospitals.
His statement followed publication of
reports that $50 members of the Civilian
Conservation Corps are being treated
et Waiter Reed Hospital, and that all
World War veterans had been removed
from this institution with the exception
OF four, whose condition does not per-
init it.
At the same time there were reports
In administration circles that all Fed
eral medical centers would be opened
to any of the 100000 Civil Works Ad-
mlfi1Stration employees injured or who
contract disease while on the Govern
ment rolls. A special fund it was said
probably will be set aside to retain
private physicians and to compensate
the c. w. A. workers while incapa-
citated.
The plan under consideration, is was
reported. provides for treatment of
G. w. A. workers in isolated points by
private physicians, retained by the local
Q. w. A. administrator. In other places
Federal medical facilities would be
used.
In his statement Gen. Hines said at
the present time the Veterans Admins
tration is furnishing hospital or phar-
macy care to 46,958 patients, including
490 members of the Civilian Conserva-
ton Corps and 276 emergency cases.
In the total Of 46,958, there are 1906
service connected cases and 81, ,889 non
service connected cases.
Gen. Hines also declared a little more
than 1,100 cases still remained in Gov
ernment hospitals, although it has been
the policy of the Veterans AdministrA-
tion to utilize its own facilities as far
as practicable
Hospital treatment and pharmaciliary
care" he said, "are assured to all service
connected patients, and ample provision
has been made also for needy nom
service connected cases."
He explained that virtually the only
cases which the Veterans Administra-
ton Is not now authorized to care for
are the acute general medical and sur
gical cases not permanent in character.

]. w. Dean, president of the Knoxville
Tobacco Board of Trade, said today he
favored proposal for Gov. McAlister
OF Tennessee and Gov. Laffoon of Ken

Of hurley tobacco.
His statement followed the sale of
182,906 pounds here yesterday for an
average Of $13.17 a hundred-$25 SO less
than the opening day price
1T would be unwise though for the
Knoxville market to close unless other
markets close" Dean said. ALSO it would
be unwise for Gov. McAlister to call a
holiday unless Kentucky does the same
thing"
Farmers stopped sales at New Taze-
well, Tenn, yesterday, when the aver
age failed to get above IL cents pound.
A spokesman for farmers announced
they would sell no more tobacco until
prices were higher. Buyers left and
sales were postponed indefinitely

D u b t Of Premier
 Situation Expressed

Discussing recent official statements bearing upon the future life of the Premier mine, The Mining World and Engin- eering Record, of London, says:
 During the course of the proceedings at the annual gen. eral meeting of the Premier Gold Mining Company, the general manager, MT. Dale L. Pitt, pooh-pooed statements circulated in British Columbia that there were large blocks of low-grade ore in sight. On the contrary all stopes had been broken into, and were now ready to draw out practically all the ore in sight in the mine. No ore would be broken hav- ing a value of under $4 per ton, as although costs have been reduced to the minimum. ore under that figure cannot be treated at a profit.
 "Selukwe shareholders will be interested in these state- ments, but we imagine they will at once don their thinking caps and ask themselves then why did the Premier Go. re- gently renew it's Emile aerial tramway?

RYDER FLOOD BILL
 FAVORABLY REPORTED

Further hope for early au- thorization of the Hyder flood control project is indicated in a news letter to the Herald from E.. L. Bartlett, Delegate Diamonds secretary, announc- ing that the House flood con- trol committee reported favor ably and by unanimous vote the flood bill introduced by the Delegate. He said, how ever, that it is now believed the project will be taken care of under the public works act.
 This means that the project will probably be greatly hast ened through being placed in the category of emergency measures.
 The Delegate is endeavoring to secure the inclusion of many rivers and harbors projects in Alaska in the public works pro- gram, MT. Bartlett said. The rivers and harbors bill, which provided for several Alaska projects, was also reported to the House but the opinion now is that the measure will not be acted upon. Instead it thought all the approved projects con- tained in it will come within the scope of the public works bill.

DEVELOPMENTS IN THE
 SILVER SITUATION

That restoration of silver will be one of the most import ant efforts of the United States delegation to the World Eco- homie Conference, which opens in London next Monday, is dis closed in reports from Wash ington announcing that the House foreign relations com- mittee, although rejecting de- cisively the Senate resolution to instruct the U. $. delegates to work for 16 to 1 silver, voted that they be instructed to work for bimetallism, with a fixed ratio between gold and silver.
 The committee said that the delegation should work for "stabilization of international exchanges" adding, land with that end in view shall strive to secure an international agree ment for the coinage of gold and silver at a definite fixed ratio."
 Reports from the steamship President Roosevelt, bearing the U. s. delegates to England, announced that the delegation was engaged in formulating a program to restore silver to conspicuous place in monetary systems" and that a proposal to use silver as a supplement of gold in note coverage by cent ral banks" would be a feature of the American delegations silver policy.

Ketchikan Getting Gold Fever

The fact that "There's gold in them thar hills" seems to have been awakened in the knowledge of scores of Ketchi- kan people, young and old, this year, for never before in the past twenty years have there been so many prospectors in the hills hereabouts," says the Ketchikan Chronicle.
 Some are working placer, others hard rock, and old dig gings," the journal continues.
 "Ketchikan started from a mining community, and it looks as though Ketchikan has to start over again. said one of the adventurous ones.

Flood Control Work
 Drawing To C los e

The flood protection work instituted by the Territory on Salmon river for the protect ion of Hyder is nearing an end and will probably be con- cluded next week, by which time the $4,000 appropriation will be exhausted, according to Representative J. K. Green, director of operations.
 A survey of the work disclos- es that the funds have been spent to excellent advantage. When the work is completed, two strong dams will stand as bulwark against the annual flood waters. The rebuilding of the old wing dam near the rock cut was completed last week, leaving that primary safeguard in fine shape to pre- vent the water from invading the townsite. Operations are now being directed to the con- struction of a large rock dam near the center of the flood plain and some distance be- low the wing dam, which will divert the water flowing in the easterly channel into the main channel along the far side of the valley.

Stewart B. o. T. Holds
 Interesting Meeting


 provided the principal subjects of discussion at an interesting dinner meeting of the Stewart Board of Trade, held Tuesday evening in the Club Cafe in Stewart. Hon. J. K. Green, of Hyder, Representative in the Alaska Legislature, was the principal speaker.
 Restoration of silver formed the main theme of MT. Greens address, which also covered in comprehensive manner all the broader aspects of bimetall;sm and world monetary questions.
 The restoration of silver to it's rightful place in world curren- cies would unquestionably do more to bring the world out of the depression than any eXped- lent that might be adopted, the speaker said.
 MT. Green expressed himself in favor of 16 to 1 silver, de- claring it would treble at least the buying power of fully three-fourths of the worlds peoples in the Oriental count fies and elsewhere and would result in vastly increased trade between those countries and the United States and Canada. Acting in concert, the United States and Canada could bring 1t about, he said.
 There is an acknowledged in- 3ufficiency of gold in the world 10 serve as a basis for curren- cy and a secondary metallic base is required to maintain proper stability, MT. Green said, and only by broadening the metallic base can this sta bility be achieved. Silver, he declared, is the only metal aside from gold which can be so employed.
 The insufficiency of gold was directly responsible for the dis astrous fall in commodity pric- es from which the world is now suffering and the fluctuations of currencies resulting from the gold shortage constituted an in- tolerable burden on debtors, whether individuals or nat ions, the speaker declared.
 Expressing the hope that sill yer will achieve proper recog- nltlOn at the World Ec0nOmlc Conference, MT. Green said only by such action can the world be spared from long continuing want and suffering.
 As one of the leading silver producing nations of the world Canada would be greatly ben efitted by silver remonetiz- ation and should lend all poss- ible support toward it's realiz- ation, MT. Green said.
 MT. R. E. Haack, manager of the Bank of Montreal, and MT. H. w. M. Rolston, Stewart publisher also discussed vari- ous phases of the currency

POWER co. LINEMAN
 MEETS SUDDEN DEATH

employed by the Northern B. c. Power Corporation, met a swift and tragic death by electrocution while working on the ,company's high-tension power lines in Hyder, B. C., shortly after 10 o'clock We'd nesday morning.
 With Herb. Charlton, of Stewart, as his assistant, Me- Rae had just finished a high tension job on a pole near the Prosperity Cafe when the ac- i d e n t occurred. Telling Charlton that he had finished, McRae dropped his rubber gloves to the ground and in- structed the assistant to go and see if the lights on the Hyder side of the boundary were working all right. Charlton started on this mission but had no more than turned his back when a peculiar sound made by his companion caused him glance back. He was startled to see the form of McRae hanging inert against the pole, sustained by the safety belt encompassing his body and the pole.
 Seeing no evidences of life, Charlton gave the alarm, caus- ing the power to be turned off, and also summoned w. D. Smith, manager of the power company, and Dr. J. w. Vos- burgh from Stewart. Ernest Love, manager of the tele- phone company, hearing of the accident, also hurried to the scene and undertook the diffi- cult task of lowering the un- fortunate man to the ground.
 Although the body was ap- parently lifeless, artificial res piration was applied by MT. Smith for 15 minutes or more but without success. Examin- ation of the body disclosed a large burn on the right thigh and also on the first and fourth fingers of one hand, indicating that McRae had in some unknown manner con- tacted two of the four main power lines carrying upward of 4,000 volts of electricity, be- tween which he had been working.
 The deceased was a lineman of long experience and except ional efficiency. He came here from Prince Rupert three weeks ago for the purpose of putting the power lines in or der and performed splendid service, according t o M r. Smith, who was unable to ac- count for the accident except Ion the theory that McRae slipped in some manner or starting to descend the pole
 AS death was plainly accident.
