Alexander Says $500 Trap Tax Might Prove Fatal to Industry. Fear that the imposition by the Territory of a tax of $500 on all fish traps would be disastrous to the industry, and possibly the direct cause of many canneries ceasing op erations, was expressed today by C. J. Alexander, until recently actively in charge of the company operations of the Hoonah Packing and vice president of the company. Mr. Alexander, who is considered one of the leaders in the fisheries industry, replying to a query as to the effect of such a tax as proposed In the tentative measure being pre pared by the House Ways and Means Committee of the Territorial Legis lature said that the salmon fishing and canning industry in Alaska is :it such a critical state of its career that the proposed tax might be the blow that would kill it altogether. “The salmon fishing business is now at its lowest ebb and it looks as if already the Territory will have some canneries on its hands for unpaid taxes. The placing of this additional tax may at this time prove fatal to the industry just when it is attempting to struggle to its feet after beiug almost knock ed out by the disastrous season of 1920,” Mr. Alexander said. “Al though I have not thoroughly exam ined all the provisions of the taxa tion measure, I would advise thor ough investigation before any more burdens of taxation be placed upon the waning salmon industry.” PRINCESS MARY LEAVES FOR SOUTH THIS MORNING The steamer Princess Mary ar rived in port at midnight Saturday with the following passengers: D.

Tha vcjael loft this port fot the south at 7 o’clock this morning HEAD OF RELIEF FUND DONATION TADLE Territory First in Subscrip tions Per i Capita to Eu ropean Relief Fund. In subscriptions to the relief of starving European children, Alaska stands at the he id of the United States on the National collection, according to advices' received today by C.ov. Thomas Riggs from National headquarters. Alaska's quota, o the basis! of $33,1)00,000 for the en tire country, had been fixed by the Control- tjoinm !t >e for the Eunniear Council at $10,000, while the total fund raised by the Territory is up proximatoiy $22,000, according to Gov. ltiggs, who acted as Territorial chairman in the campaign. In a letter Just received by Gov. Riggs from If. G. Gutterson. of the Control Committee, it is stated: “It is with greatest pleasure that we are able to tell you that Alaska stands at the head of the United Stat“s on the National collection. Rasing our original estimate for each locality op a readjustment of the Red Cross war drive quota down to a $33,000,000 basis, we had put Alas ka down at $10,0000. Your lettsr stating tiiat you will realize approx imately $22,000, assures Alaska of tiie fir t place by a very large mar gin. Hawaii Is Second "It may be Interesting to you to know that' the Hawaiian Island is second. New Hampshire third. Ore gon fourth, Rhode Ifcland fifth, Min nesota, sixth, South Dakota seventh Michigan eighth, Alabama ninth and Arizona tenth. “One fact stands out in the collec tion and that is that the type of state—agricultural or industrial—the geographic location of the state, or the economic and financial condi tions, have little or no effect on the campaign. The success of failure' of the campaign has obviously been in every case due to the ability, en ergy and interest of the state chair-1 men and their committees. total up to uate “We have succeeded in raising in cash to date $27,750,000. In addition to this, we have certain other re sources and expectances from a few states that have not yet finished, which will bring us well over $29, 000,000. In view of the fact that I the original program was made up 1 earjy last fall, when the price of foodstuffs was considerably higher i than at the present time, this sum | of money will adequately cover the I program laid out by the European j Relief Council and so we can close , knowing that we have carried on the only successful National Collection since the war and also knowing that it has been done at a lower cost than any national campaign that we know of. The cost has been less than two and one-half per cent. Many Small Subscribers “One interesting feature of the campaign lias been the innumerable small subscribers. The plight of the European children has appealed to the American imagination far be yond what we thought it would aud the knowledge that the money was being expended under the direction of Mr. Hoover and by the four larg est relief organizations in this coun try inspired confidence among givers of every class. "Please accept our most hearty appreciation of your co-operation and congratulations on the responses | that tlie good people of Alaska have | given to you and your committee.” KEGEL CASE TO JURY, The case of the U.

The communication em braced one from Juanita Anderson, of Seldovia, Written on March 22, 1921, and also a communication from Judge Fred M. Brown. The communication from Miss Anderson touched on deplorable conditions of morals of certain na tives on Kenai Peninsula, and also bringing out the fact there are no provisions for native children being held over by juvenile judges or the Board of Children ’s Guardians as provided in Chapter 32, Session l-aws of 1913. Subsequently this act was amended by the Legislature of l!fl7, in Chapter 16. The question at issue is morality of native girls, several flagrant cases of immoral ways being cited. Judge Brown suggested that the Legislature, if possible, should cre ate some fund which would be under the control of the Board of Children’s Guardians to . relieve na tive cases of distress arid sickness. in accordance with the expres sions of Judge Brown, the communi cations were referred to the Senate and these were given into the™ands of the Educational Committee today.

Power users have become so accustomed, to buying locally that “specially-built” equipment, however praised, holds no compensating advantages fer the immediate delivery of pulleys, hangers, bearings, clutches, couplings, etc., built by one organization to operate as a complete unit in any plant. And while Dodge equipment continues to serve all industrial plants as faithfully and as economically as ' it has since 18S2, the mere offer of “something new” because it is new will mean little to those who have bought Dodge products because they know them to be reliable. We carry a full line of Dodge products for immediate delivery; call on us for the service we are prepared to render. .
