Excessive Taxation Dangerous

form of taxation that all the rest of states resi-
dents could be tax free, at least get substantial
reduction in taxes That is very fine theory, but
there is limit of taxation which becomes dangerous
if exceeded. We must remember that any business
be taxed out of business, and iron mines no
exception. High taxes do not stimulate large pay

paying just tax they should be made to pay more

is not good common sense.

 With comparatively no criminal class of her own, Alaska will eX- pect the States to take care of their own offenders and work out the problems for which they alone are responsible.

The original law, approv ed on June 6, 1900, put the con- trol of all such tide land mining under the Secretary of War, be- cause at that time the War De- partmsnt was in charge in a con- siderable number of Government functions in Alaska and in the Boring Sea region in particular.
 Because War Department activ- ities in Alaska have greatly de- creassd during late years and on- ly a limited personnel of the De- partment remains there the Secre tary of War recommended an amendment, which was incorpor- ated in the new law, so that con- trol of tide land mining would be under the Secretary of the Inter- for. As outlined in the Commit tee report on the bill this change was also adopted because it was deemed advisable to have all min ing laws and regulations adminis- tered by the Secretary of the h. terior rather than by partial con- trol with respect to the mining of tide lands under the Secretary of War"

The third Dimond bill approved on May II by the President was the one which authorizes public utility districts in the Territory of Alaska to construct or acquire any type of public utility, and to incur bonded indebtedness there for.
 By an Act of the Territorial Leg islature in 1885, provision was made that any town, village, com munity, or settlement in Alaska, having a population of POO or more, could incorporate as a pulp lic-utility district, its affairs to be managed by a board of five di- rectors elected by the people of the district, with the power to levy and collect taxes upon all real and personal property with in the limits of the district not to exceed per cent of the assessed value of such property in any one year. Under this Act each dis trict was given the power to con- struct and maintain all types of public utilities. In fact, the DIT pose of the Act was to permit small communities not sufficiently large or wealthy to incorporate as cities, to provide themselves with water systems, with electric light and power, and other need ed public utilities. The Act fur ther provided that no district SO created should incur bonded in- debtedness or liability of any kind in any year more than could be paid from the current revenue of the district for that year.

OFFICE OF A. J. DIMOND
 Delegate from Alaska

. Four bills pertaining to Alaska were signed by the President on May 31... Three of these were in- troduced and sponsored by Dele- gate Dimond in the Congress. .... .. One of the measures so enacted into law amends the laws of the Territory imposing taxes for car rying on business and trade with respect to the annual license tax on electric light plants furnishing light or power for sale. Hereto fore, a fiat rate of $500 per year was taxed against all such com mercial light plants in Alaska without regard to the amount of business done by each. The new law establishes a schedule of tax ation similar to that set up for mercantile businesses, being gra- duated in accordance with the volume of business done. The Tax schedule for electric plants which will now be in effect under the Act is as follows:
 Plants doing business of $l00- 900 per year, tax $500.00.
 Plants doing a business of $75,- 900 per year, $375.00
 Plants doing a business of $5O,- 900 per year, $25o.o0.
 Plants doing business of $25,- 900 a year, $125.00.
 Plants doing a business of $10,- 900 per year, $50.00.
 Plants doing a business under $10,0O0 per year, $25.0O.
 Plants doing a business under $4,OO0 per year, tax 5000.
 AS stated in the report made to the House Committee on the Ter ritories by Acting Secretary of the Interior Charles West, "It would appear that a graduated tax of the nature proposed is more equitable than a uniform rate for all companies regardless of the volume of business" whi- oh is certain to provide relief for some of the smaller companies which find the fixed rate of $500 prohbitive, in their production of power which amounts to a defin- ite public service in some com munities.
 The Act also provides that plants operated by municipal corporations, by cooperative soci- eties, or eleemosynary institu- tions shall be required to pay on- ly $l0 per annum irrespective of the amount of business done"
