of Tom
 Mix Revealed

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Oct. l3--The will of Tom Mix revealed today that the hard riding cowboy actor left his entire estate to his wife and one of his two daughters, 19-year-old Tllomasina Mix Matthews.
 The value of the estate is not estimated
 2 The will, drawn in 1888, does not mention Mix's four eXwiyes or an other daughter by one of his prev ious marriages.
 It is presumed that he made a financial statement with each wife at the time of the divorce.
 Mix bequeathed to a close friend, lyon Parker, his horse Tony, and all of his guns, hats, trophies and west ern paraphernalia used in cowboy pictures and appearances over a period of many years. Parker said that Tony will live the rest of his life on his San Fernando ranch, and will be mounted when he dies.

LEGISLATURE TO-
 FACE SHRINKING
 INCOME PROBLEM
Governor Says He Plans Message Suggesting
 New Sources <.

New sources of revenue to meet the increasing cost of Territorial government in the fact of shrink ing salmon pack tax receipts will be suggested to the Territorial Leg islature by Gov. Ernest Gruenins, he said at Fairbanks.
 "Revenues are off the Govei- nor said. The Legislature which will meet in January will have to determine on the sources of rey':- nue.
 Tn my message to the lawmak- CTS I shall inform them what money think will be needed to conduct the business of the Terri tory. and I shall make some sug- gestions as to how needed revenue should be raised.
 No Invasion"
 T have not yet definitely cch- cluded as to the amount of money that win be needed. When the con clusioi is reached the proper polf- cy on my part I think, should be to submit the figures first to the Legislature.
 Studies have been made and still are being made as to sources of revenue. It will be the duty of the Legislature to decide oil these sources. While my message will offer suggestions, l have no thought of trying to invade the legislative sphere of action.
 Bonding Studied '.."At the last session of the Legl'- iature. Delegate Anthony J. Dimond suggested that the Territory bond itself. He was prompted to make this suggestion by the opportunity that then existed of getting certain federal funds, if they should be matched by Territorial funds This condition no longer exists
 "The Delegates proposal was not favored by public sentiment. Whether since then there has been change in sentiment with re- spect- to bonds, uo not know. l think folks should consider the possibility of a Territorial bond iS- sue. A crystalized sentiment would be guide to the lawmakers.
 Personally I believe in the policy
 
 of pay as you go.
 The Governor during his visit il1 Fairbanks talked with some of the Fourth Division legislators on prob lens that will confront the law makers.
