 taxes had been much low CT; that she had experience ed raise last year, and that coming again this year with another raise, she did not consider it fair. Her statement also included the information that property adjacent to that section of Nome had received none of the $100,000 improvements made by the city of Nome through the PWA; and also that the upkeep on an old building was extremely high and she considered the assessment as too high. The council decided to let the assessment as raised last meeting, stand, after a motion to reduce the as- sessment from $5,000 to $3,000 had failed for want of sufficient votes.
 Councilman Ed. Seiden- verg on behalf of the man. agement of the Bon Mar che Store objected strenu- ously to any further raise in the assessments on his building and stock, stating that he considered it unfair for the council to raise his stock assessment from $37- 900 to $40,000 and his build ing from $12,500 to S15,000
 As a basis for his argu- ment he referred to the proportionate taxation on other new and equally lar

 Following a lengthy gen. Hral discussion by various members of the council re- garding the raise of the Bon Marche assessments, Mir. Seidenverg stated he was not being treated fair ly in comparison with the other two large merchandis ing stores in Nome. No action to change his assess ments was taken by the Board, which adjourned sine die.
 The final assessment roll including real and personal property for 1885 was stat ed by the Clerk as approx imately $1, ,139,000. In com parison, 1884 was $1,054,- 900 and 1883 was $967,0OO approximately, a raise in two years of $172,000.

 the fire. In regards to his stock he stated that he al- lowed the assessment of S37,000 to be listed even tho he was considering on ly $30,000 as a figure to in- troduce, but that the $40,- 900 assessment was too high, and that he did not possess that much stock up on which to be taxed in pro portion to other business concerns.
 Excited comments occur red on the manner of assess ing proportionally stocks and buildings in Nome, dur ing which Mr. Seidenverg stated that he did not con- sider the recent action of the council in raising his assessments, fair or just in respect to his proportionate amount of stocks and real estate.
 During the discussion he stated he would combat the raise legally if necessary, as he did not possess the stock. He referred to Thor ulf Lehmann's Store and stock and offered to make a comparison by allowing the council to inspect hlS books regarding their raise of his assessments.
 City Attorney Sullivan questioned MT. Seidenverg who admitted to the state- ment that he was not being taxed on a basis of 100 per cent. MT. Seidenverg said that it was an unequitable in which the coun- cil had raised his taxes, claiming that he did not possess the amount of stock

HAVE YOU TRIED co M AK COAL !?

CONlAX COAL is produced by the Vancouv- CT Island Goals Limited, producers also of the fam ous Ladysrnith Coal. We brought in a sample SUD- ply of COMAX COAL the recommendation of Mir. H. R. Plommer, General Manager, who visit ed Nome last summer.
 After Investigating local conditions MT. Piom- advised the introduction of COMAX COAL on the ground of Economy and Efficiency. He pro- duced facts showing considerable saving compar- ed with oil burning COMAX COAL is extremely high in heating value, and because of its strong coke qualities is ong lasting. It is not recommend ed that this coal should be used except in those places where healthy draft is available, and in this regard it should not be inferred because the draft is on the fire, that the fire is burning to waste. Of course, if the heat is not required there is no purpose in exciting fierce fire, but if requir- ed the more of the oxygen from the atmosphere that can be consumed with the coal, the better the results.

HIGH SALARIES OF s HEEL MEN
 ARE ATTACKED
Stockholders Meetin g of Bethlehem Corporation
 Is Exciting One

NEWARK, N. J.. April l0.-High officials of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation whose salaries last year were nearly as much as the corporations net profits, were at tackled at the stockholders meet ing yesterday but the proposal to slash payments was voted down.
 Objections were levelled against Charles M Schwab, Chairman of the Board; Eugene Brace and R. E. McMath, at the thirtieth annual meeting of the stockholders. The move to reduce salaries was futile however. The minority's resolution was to limit salaries to be paid the trio to 20 percent of the cor- poration's 1894 profits. This was showed under when holders of ma- jority shares voted against the res- olution.
 Opponents of big salaries were led by Leopold B. Coshland, of New York, who declared "44,000 men get 67 cents an hour by the sweat of their brows while three officers divided $448,000 salary last year"
 Another stockholder declared that Schwab's salary last year was $250,- 900.

By WILLIAM S. WHITE

WASHINGTON, April l0.-The United States, erecting the largest peace time military establishment in it's history, moved toward a stronger national defense before the breakdown of the Washington naval treaty and Germany's repudi- ton of the Versailles pact.
 This country, considered compara- lively secure against invasion, be- cause of its isolation, set out on a course of building up the Army and Navy, estimated to cost in the near future more than three quarters of a billion dollars, principally upon the administration view that ex- isting facilities had weakened below the safety line.
 Appropriation bills with which Congress now is working, under President Roosevelt's budget, rec concentrations for total of $792,- 000,000 for Army and Navy, were based upon that theory rather than upon the European treaty develop ments. The German renunciation of the Versailles document, however, though not bringing this country into the European embodiment in the opinion of observers, may in- fluence speedy action upon the American program.
 Big Air Force Increase
 Broad developments immediately foreshadowed, aside from the long time program of shaping a bigger Army and Navy, in addition to big increases and improvements in arm aments, munitions and equipment, include these.
 Stepping up of Army Air forces from about l.2oo planes at present to around 1900. Increasing naval aircraft by 800, or to approximately 1 800.
 A greatly enlarged and improved coastal defense organization, par ticularly on the Pacific coast and in Pacific possessions and terri tories-Hawaii. Alaska. Canal Zone and Samoa. This latter step would be accomplished through s23,- 000.000 item in the $380 000, ,000 Army measure already approved in substance by both Senate and the House: a s38,o00,O0o separate ap- propriation proposed for building Continued on Page Three)

French Put SDeath Watch" On Versailles Peace Pact:
 Only Minor Clauses Suruiue
By ALEXANDER H. UHL

PARIS, April 10.-The Treaty o Versailles, which Hitler has beer pounding steadily for Is years virtually is all gone except for its territorial and colonial clauses.
 And the average Frenchman Is wondering how long these surviv- ors will last.
 Charges that Germany had vio- lated the treaty .n a dozen differ ent ways had frequently been made in France and Great Britain, but it was not until Germany announce ed creation of a military air force that the treaty was openly defied for article 198 says:
 The armed forces of Germany must not include any military or naval air force"
 Then came the bombshell of Hit ler's announcement that henceforth Germany would refuse to consider herself bound by the military clauses of the treaty.
 That announcement with restor- ation of conscription as the basis of the German army, added start ling chapter to the barely 15- year history of treaty that took a year and half to produce. Some Sections Died Early
 There are some clauses that never were enforced; there are others that have been slowly but steadily disregarded and there are still oth- CTS that Germany wants abolished.
 Article 227 called for trial of the former Emperor William by five judges to be named by the United States, Great Britain, France, Italy and Japan. Holland, however, re- fused to extradite him and the clause lapsed.
 Article 228 demanded the trial of number of high German officials, including the former Crown Prince and Marshal Won Hindenburg, for atrocities and other alleged war crimes, but Germany never sur- rendered them.
 The section of the treaty dealing with Germany's frontiers and col onies still holds it's original force. The Saar, last of the plebiscite areas, has gone back to Germany as a result of the vote of January 13. Hitler has virtually given up claims for Alsace- Lorraine, while the thorny Polish corridor problem seems moribund because of the German-Polish friendship develop ed since by signature of ten-year accord in 1884.
 "Anschluss" Hope Survives
 1nsistence on the independence of Austria is vital part of the trea- ty. But Germany has not abandon ed hope despite the joint Franco British-Italian stand against "an- schluss."
 Germany's old colonies are in the hands of the victor nations, none of whom has shown any inclination to give them up.
 Authorization of the Rhineland IS the next step that the French fear. They claim that already there are strategic railways and air.
