O'CONNOR Latest Novelties in Tobacco Jars and Pipe Racks at Burford's Senator Roden Talks of Legislation That is Needed Senator Henry Roden, of Iditarod, in a Fairbanks newspaper touches up on legislation for Alaska, as follows: "As a member of the Alaska Legislature, 1, for one, should de sire to get an expression of opinion concerning some of the matters that will unquestionably come up for consideration and action by the Leg islature. Many of the questions that will present themselves are new and there are no precedents by which to be guided. As far as 1 have been able to ascertain, no other territory within the boundaries of the United States has ever been in a position sim ilar to the one in which Alaska now is. They all have had some sort of county administration, which we lack, and many powers were delegated to the officers of the county. "Probably the first question for con sideration will be the raising of reve nue. Some money must be raised, if for no other purpose than to take care of those unfortunate indigents who are now arrested and convicted as vagrants when they should be taken care of in a hospital. Where shall we place the taxes? At present, the busi ness man pays a federal license and, in incorporated towns, a municipal tax. Shall we, in addition thereto, im pose a territorial tax, when he is al ready paying more than he can afford? Shall we place the tax upon the min ers" output, as has been suggested by some. Personally I am opposed to such a course. My present idea is to suggest the levying of a tax against all f^-eign corporations, that is, cor porations which are not organized under the laws of Alaska, and are doing business in Alaska. I have not determined to my own satisfaction on what basis such a tax should be levied, that is, whether on their cap 1 ital stock or on their property valua tion. Perhaps the imposition of an annual franchise tax computed upon the basis of the amount of capital employed in the territory would be fair and would be paid by those who exploit the territory and leave nothing behind except that which they can not carry off. "Another matter of importance is legislation that may affect the mining industry. Personally 1 have a few faults to llnd with the recently enacted mining laws. I think they cause much confusion, some expense and open the door wide to fraud and perjury. "Under the present law the record ing of locations is unnecessary and a locator will not lose his claim for j failure to record. The question: 'Where shall we take off the fraction?" has been and still is the source of much trouble and always will be until settled by legislative act. Under the new law the written power of attor ney must be executed with great legal precision and formalities; it must be asknowledged before a notary public and may be recorded in any recording olllce in the division. In other words, your partner may locate a claim for you in the Tenderfoot country and re cord his power of attorney at Takotna or Georgetown, in the Kuskokwim val ley; or he may stake you a claim in the Aniak country and record the power of attorney at Caro In the Ohandlar. Will not that make much business for the lawyers? There are a number of other impracticable prop ositions in the new law, one of which is the doing of one hundred dollars' worth of labor during the year of lo cation. Suppose you stake a claim on the last day of the year, what then? Perhaps you will say that you may continue the doing of the work into the next year. But the new law says 'during the year in which the location is made.' "There are two vital questions that will be up for consideration and now seems to me to be the time for those who are interested in them to express their views so that the Legislature maye have the benefit of them." PARTY INSPECTS SHEEP CREEK WORK Several members of the Alaska Leg islature and others visited Sheep creek Sunday as the guests of James R. Whipple, assistant general manager of the Alaska-Gastlneau Mining Company. The party visited all the points where development work :s under way.

The party consisted of the following: Mr. and Mrs. Jas. R. Whipple. Mr. and Mrs. C. D. Garfield, Miss Wollenherg, Mr. Barry Keown, Senator Roden, of Idit arod: Representative Kennedy, of Can dle: Senator Freeding, of Nome; Rep resentative Collins, of Fairbanks, and Lafe Spray.
