 Meanwhile. the City is to explore the subject of a right-of- way, con tacting the Bureau of Public Roads and the Bureau of Land Manage ment. the agencies having jurisdic- ti0n in the district

 THROUGH THE SENTINEL
 PERISCOPE
Rolling In Chips

The Territory is loaded" as the boys say; rolling in chips And, Al askans being among the highest taxed people under the American flag. it should be.
 As of June 30 of this eventful year of 1903, there was a neat net cash balance in the Territorial Trea- sury of $12.013.38O.6S. according to Treasurer Henry Roden's report to Gov. B. Frank Heintzlemans a rather marked comparison with the late '4Os when frozen funds" was the order of the day and Henry #as a busy man getting the banks to ad- vance enough money to meet the payroll.
 If. instead of Statehood, Congress decides to dissolve the Territory and and give it back to the Russians, the cash surplus could be divided among the 138,000 men, women and children in Alaska, giving them each about SS7-just about the cost of a ticket to the states.
 The income tax, that 10 per cent of what you pay Uncle deal. is in a large way responsible for the SIP million plus. During the first six months of the year returns from the income tax was $3,127595.29. Run ming a close second was the fishing industry, which not too long ago was paying nearly 90 per cent of the Territory's taxes. The commer- cial fisheries, including the raw fish tax, fishermen's licenses, gear taxes and so on, paid into the Treasury during the same six months $2,207,- 41S.53 In third place was the bus mess license tax which netted ST. 268,435.S2.
 Other revenue producers were: liquor excise taxes. $7O9,518.64; automobile registrations, $531,779; motor fuel, $448,515.67; tobacco tax, $360,113.84; school tax, $125,- 285.00; drivers licenses, $109,O33.- 25; mines and mining, $1O4,11484
 Biggest taxpayer was the Third Division with $4,827133.44. First Division was second with $2,5I9,- 055.82; the Fourth, third with $1,- 663,231.67, and the sparsely popu- lated Second turned in $120,583.57.
 Tax collections for the first six months of this year totaled $9,13O,- OO4.5O as compared with $8,943,- 0O2.l5 for the same period last year and $7279,19O.27 during the first half of 1851. The tax returns indi- cate growing population, growing business and industry, and, of course, growing taxes.

of the board. In 1910, he was
elected to a four-year term in
the State Senate.
At the end of his term, he
became a candidate for Con-
gress and was elected in 1914.
In the last election, he lost
by about $500 votes out of a
total of $4,000 votes cast. His
opponent, Howard S. Miller.
was the first Democrat ever
to have been elected from the
LIST Kansas district.
Mr.. Cole outwardly takes the
distinction of losing to the first
Democrat to win in his con-
Stituency with a considerable
amount of philosophical good
humor. His friends say his
vote in favor of a hood-control
project in his district was made
after careful study and was de-
signed to benefit his area.
However, the project will dis
place many farmers and mum
date a number of communities.
A wave of opposition to, him
arose on this basis, and when
election time came around the
flood control issue engulfed
him.
Subsequently, Mr.. Cole
served in Washington as an
assistant to Chairman c.
Wesley Roberts of the Re-
publican National Committee,
a fellow Kansan. He severed
this connection before an
