John J.

Mr. Gallagher has hS- ed in the Philippines the last S7 years. He left Manila 30 days ago and 9lsns to tour all parts of Alaska and Yukon by plane and other means Of travel
 The Manila Bulletin of June 50 contains an article by Bessie Hack ct. staff writer, referring to Mr- Gallagher as follows:
 Practically every oldtmer out here talks about the places he will 20, the things he will see, and the old haunts he will reviSit-sone day Bgt John J. Gallagher, who has lived in Zamboanga for the past 37 years, is an exception. His dream is coming -rue
 @It begins today when he ernbzrks on the SS President Mckinley to re- visit Alaska, upon whose frozen ex- psnses he first. set foot 43 years ago.
 Mr. Gallagher, who Is wel-knoWn throughout the Philippines, arrived here in 1900 and, after g brief min ing career in Zambozngz, decided 10 yer into the contracting business, with which he has been connected ever since

Wrong in Principle.

in proposing their version Of a weight
tax on automobiles the Commissioners
apparently abandon the hitherto ad-
vertised theory that the weight tax
would be substituted for the personal
property tax now paid on motor vehicles.
They make the weight tax straight,
additional tax. The District has plenty
OF reason to look with suspicion on taxes
proposed as substitutes, for experience
has shown how easily the substitute tax
becomes an additional tax The Com
missioners' bill amply justifies such
fears.
Retention of the personal property tax
on automobiles after adding a weight
tax reveals curious misapplication Of
the weight tax principle. The former
Bureau Of Efficiency proposed essentially
the same thing that the Commissioners
propose, but the Bureau of Efficiency
carried its principle to logical con-
clusion, which is not done in the Com
missioners' bill.
The Bureau Of Efficiency held that
there is no reason to exempt an auto
mobile, being personal. property, from
the personal property tax. But it argued
that the special tax imposed on auto
mobiles by weight could be used only
for purposes directly affecting the
motoristl The. Commissioners bill. on
