It was q Mardi Gras in full swing,

tax or an income tax as a major ele-

Tax Protests Discussed.
Committee members discussed pro-
tests which are being made against the
business privilege tax, but Maj. Daniel
J. Donovan, chairman, said the COM
mittee had not yet decided whether to
recommend that this tax be abandoned
when it will expire at the end of this
fiscal year.
The Commissioners previously had
indicated they will recommend major
revisions of this levy if they decide
to seek to have it continued.
When Congress adopted the business
privilege levy, it left in force the pro-
visions of the District license act under
which license fees are required, the

the price range of nearly every one

famous paintings, covering every vital
era in art from the Italian renais-

each week for IL weeks, with free
lessons in art appreciation by DR..

by four American painters-Winslow
Homer. Thomas Eakins. Mary Cassatt
and Thomas Benton The second
group next week will be by early
Italian masters.
In accepting sponsorship of the
campaign, DR.. Studebaker said:
These forms of expression which
we are accustomed to call the fine
arts are badly named if the word fine
is used to connote remoteness from
the common struggles, passions and
dreams of human beings. The basis
of democracy is the belief that the
urge within all of us for a richer and
fuller life is valid and VITAL and that
opportunity to seek it is the heritage
Of every one
That is why our forefathers classed
the pursuit of happiness with liberty
and life as primal rights. Victory over
want, the attainment of material COM
forts and leisure are not ends in them
selves or they would be barren.
They are means to the end that
we may live instead of exist by Great
ing and by sharing the glories of life
through unfettered expression. The
project being undertaken by your
committee should do much toward
helping us to use our leisure for self
fullfilment."

Many and varied are the jobs of the Coast Guard men in Alaska Monday the cutter Haida may have to leave on a strange errand of mercy.
 It seems that the Indians at Rake -35 of them at any rate-have ton sils in poor shape, so the Haida, with Dr. Jonathan Zoole, working ! the shippers, will go to the rescue of Kake's tonsilitis- popu- lation.
 On the way down, the Haida will also board small craft to inspect their papers and necessary equip ment.
 And incidentally, at present, the Haida has a big field to cover, for | the nearest boat to the north of her in the Coast Guard service, is the Duane, somewhere in the Der ing Sea, waiting for the last boat to clear out for waters that do not freeze.
 The Alert. at Ketchikan. is the only other Coast Guard boat in the Territory the Spencer, the Morris, and the Cyane, now being in Seattle 1 for winter overhaul.

Alaska $. s. Co. Announces New
 Boat for City
Sixty-Foot Craft Is to Ply Between Juneau and
 Lynn Canal Ports

The Alaska Steamship Company today announced a new shuttle-run between Juneau and Lynn Canal ports to begin next Wednesday when a new addition to the Alaska Line fleet will meet the Alaska here on its northbound trip.
 The new service will eliminate the necessity of the Alaska and the Yukon stopping at H a n S and Skagway on both trips during the winter months.
 A radiogram from the Seattle of fees of the Alaska Steamship Com pany said the name of the boat is Silver, and has berth facilities for l9 persons, and is sixty feet long. It left Seattle today and will take nine Haines-bound passengers from the Alaska, which leaves Seattle tomorrow evening at o'clock.
 The boat Silver is not registered in the Customs office books here, end the Kenai, as far as is known, is the smallest boat in the Alaska Line fleet, with an overall length of 123 feet, so it is thought here that Silver refers to the Silver Wave which was purchased from the Northwestern Livestock Corpora tion last June by M s. Dahl, of this city.
 The Silver Wave, built in 1925 in Seattle, has an overall length of 59.5 feet which would answer the 60 feet description of the Silver, and the fact that this craft passed through here southbound a few days ago, leads to the belief that it may have been purchased or contracted for by the Alaska Steamship Company.
