CHANCES FAVOR
SULZER TO WIN
HIS RE-ELECTION
(Continued from Page One)
returns yet to be received, according
to estimates made here.
VALDEZ CLAIMS SULZER
BY 150
VALDEZ, Nov. 7— Delegate Charles
A. Sulzer was leading In the Third
Division last night by 134 with Un
ga, Ozinks, Afognak, Scldovia, a few
small Cook Inlet precincts, Latouche,
Ellamar and Katalla not reported.
Unless Seldovia gives Wickersham
more than 60 majority, Sulzer will
carry the Third Division by 150 plu
rality.
LITTLE CHANGE IN
FIR8T DIVISION;
SULZER WILL WIN
With the strong Sulzer precincts
of Chichagof, Sulzer, Tenakee and
Tokeen and eleven other precincts,
whose aggregate vote should favor
Sulzer, to hear from, Judge Wicker
sham Is leading in the first Divis
ion by 21 plurality—the reported
vote being Sulzer 1,230, Wickersham
l,2pl. The Unreported precincts
should wipe out this lead and give
Sulzer a plurality of not less than
100, and possibly more. i
NO ELECTION AT EAGLE
No election was held at Eagle
River on account of the circumstance
that the Judges of Election did not
show up at the polls. Sulzer lost a
plurality of two by the failure of the
election.
It Is likely that no elections were
held at Jualin, Hadley, Suloia Bay,
and perhaps, other small precincts.
The returns from Chilkat, Scow
Bay, Beaver Falls and Loring have
added to the pluralities of Britt, Sow
erby, White, Casey and Davies. The
precincts yet to report are expected
to give pluarlitles to all Democratic
candidates. If there should be any
changes in the Legislative candidates
it would be to elect James J. Con
nors, Democrat, but that it not ex
pected, as Davies is leading Connors
now by 137. Casey is loading Mc
Cormick by 85, and will increase that.
Britt Has Big Plurality
William Britt has a lead of 218
over E. C. Russell for Territorial
Senator—the vote being Britt 1,209,
Russell 991. This will be increased.
Perry* Wiley is leading for Road
Commissioner by 133 votes over Wil
son, and w-lll increase this lead.

COMPANY WILL
TEST REVENUE
LAWS OF ALASKA
Alaska Fish Salting By
products Company Suing
Treasurer for Sum
of $10,289
DISPUTES THE ACTS
Claims That the Measures
Passed by the Legisla
ture and Applied to it
Are Void.
An Important suit has been fileJ
with the Clerk of the District Court
in which the Alaska Fish Salting
and By-Products Company, is suii.^
W. G. Smith, the Territorial Treas
urer, for $10,289 with interest.
The company is located at Klills
aoo. In relation to the cause fur
suit, after quoting the Territorial
lax law, the company says:
"That each of said acts attempts
o and do amend, altor and modify
ihe fishing laws of the United States,
providing for the taxes of business
and trade in Alaska, passed by the
Congress of the United States, and
in force prior to the time of the said
Organic Act; and that of each said
acts so enacted by the Legislature of
llaska was passed without authority
-to to do, and is, and at all times
has been, contrary to the provisions
of the Organic Act, further in that
inter aria each of said acts attempts
to and does levy a tax for Territorial
purposes in excess of one per centum,
upon the assessed valuation of plain
tiffs property in Alaska for each
year that said act remains in force,
although no provision is made In
either or any of said acts for the
assessment of the valuation of the
plaintiffs property in the Territody
of Alaska so levied upon; and fur
ther that the taxes levied under
each of said acts are not uniform
upon the same class of subjects
and are not levied and collected un
der the general laws.”
The tax imposed was $2.00 per
barrel on fresh oil. The complaint
claims that the license levied "is "ex
cessive. exhorbitant, prohibitive, con
fiscatory, discriminatory, extortion
ate, oppressive and unreasonable,”
and would oblige the company to
suspend business.
The suit carries with it double
Importance, attorneys say, as It will
test the revenue laws passed by
the Alaska Legislature.
