TAX COMMISSIONER WILL
ENFORCE FISHERMAN TAX

JUNEAU Territorial Tax
Commissioner NJ. P Mullaney will
enforce collection of the $50 non
resident and So resident fisher
mems license fee from all fisher
men except nonresident halibut
Fishermen. Resident halibut fisher
men must pay the IS license fee.
Mullaney has received a written
opinion from Attorney General J.
Gerald Williams regarding the re-
cent ruling of the L. S. District
Court of the First Judicial Divi-
sion concerning the validity of
Chapter 66, STA 1919, an Act
which provides for licensing, etc,
of fishermen.
In his opinion the Attorney Gen
eral stated that the ruling of U. S.
District Judge Folta merely holds
that Chapter Sc, SLA 1919, so far
as it imposes a higher tax on non
residents employed or engaged in
handling halibut in Alaska; con-
travenes the Civil Rights Act and
hence is invalid Attorney General
Williams expressed the opinion
that the ruling of the court does
not state that this Act is invalid as
to the increased license fee of So
assessed to resident fishermen, nor
does it say that the $50 non-resi-
dent license fee is invalid as it ap-
plies to salmon, bottom fish, crabs,
CLANS or other fishery resources of
Alaska. Therefore, under the sever
ability clause set forth in Section
8 of the Act, the remainder of
Chapter &c, SLA 1919 and such ap-
plication to other persons or cir
eumstanees is not affected by the
ruling of the court. Hence, with
the exception of nonresident hall
but fishermen, others will be re
quired to comply with the law.

of the sawmill at the time knew
Wilson we'll - while he worked
in his uncles sawmill here and al
so after Wilson went south.
Wilson came to Wrangell in
1899 - two years after Mr.. John
ston arrived. He worked in the
sawmill here until 1904 when he
went to Tacoma and bought a
candy factory
But he sold ont his candy fac
tory" Johnston recalled. and re-
turned to the sawmill here in 1905
and stayed there until 1917 when
he bought a small boat and went
fishing"
Johnston recalled that Wilson
was "a careful liver" even in those
days.
Fifty thousand dollars?" he ex-
claimed when told what assets
Wilson had left. You can bet he
left lot more than that. Why, he
must have had that much when he
left Wrangell''
Johnston said that Wilson's daily
lunch consisted of a bag of pea
nuts. Wilson built himself a
house here and boosted that it cost
him $3.50 a month to live in it.
Wilson finally went south in
1919 to Seattle, where he has re-
NAMED until his death.

men l ever knew He wouldn't de-
fraud any man of a dime. And he

Wilson's mountaineering activ
titles gained him wide acquaintance
in his neighborhood. For many
years he sold wood collected from

Lately he had just saved the
wood and stacked it around the
lot on which he moved his Lake
Washington houseboat, according
to a neighbor, C. B. Cameron.
Cameron said Wilson mad asked
him for carfare and money for gro

last six months and tried to sell

NY STEPPING STONES
BY william Henry Huff

l made my stepping stones from
stumbling stones
Which baneful persons threw into
my path;
I harmoniZed all harsh and ugly
tones
And, now. sweet music is the
aftermath.
I took the gruesome hiss of rattle

And made of 1t a sweet and
pleasing tune;
l took bullrushes from the marshy
brakes
And made them blossom as the
rose in June.
The cost l counted from the very
start
Toward my hope, my fondly
cherished goal.
The urge was deep down In my
yearning heart
And stin it lingers-hngers In my

TREE PLANTING ON
BOULEVARD STOPPED
Oleander Planting
Is Discontinued
Temporarily; Work
To Be Resumed Later

Henry Higgs, chairman of the
Junior Chamber of Commerce
Identification committee today
stated that the planting of clean
der trees on the boulevard by the
Jaycees will be discontinued tenn
porarily until work to be done
in that area by a source outside
of the Jaycees has been complet-
ed.
This procedure was decided
upon in order to cooperate with
the company that will do the
work, since many of the trees al
ready planted by the club will
have to be trsnsplanted in order
that the work can be done.
Upon completion of the work,
Higgs continued, the Jaycees will
order the balance of the Clean
ders necessary to complete the
Identification project. and plant
them along the boulevard.
One hundred plants have al
ready been set out by the club,
of which four have died.
