SHOUP'S ACTION
GETS THE COIN
Diitrict Attorney'! Procedure
Against Fishing !"tereit*
Brings Results
The artlon taken by District At
torney Arthur G. Hhoup before the
late federal grand jury which re
sulted in 24 Indlrtnenta being re
turned against as many flshiug con
cerns In thla division haa borne fruit
in that |?. 820. 32 of the $24,204.28
due from the intereata Involved haa
already been paid In taxes to the
clerk of the court and much of the
remaining $17,3X3.96 still due ia
collectable, and Mr. Hhoup sa>s it
will be collected If the corporations,
parties and Individual owing it are
atlll In buslneaa In the Territory. Tho
law, however, does uot provide for
making tax due a lien on the prop
erty, a defect that will probably be
remedied at the next session of tho
Territorial legislature.
The provisions of the tax law on
cannorlea and other fishing interests
provide that when the property is
located within the corporate limits
of a town, all tho tax collected by
the clerk of the court la turned over
to the treasurer of such town. In
the event that the property Is not lo
cated within the corporate limita of
a town, and but a small per cent of
It la, CO per cent of the tax collected
Is devoted to the Territorial road
fund, 30 per cent to the schools and
10 per cent to the Indigent fund o(
the Territory.
Prior to the Indictments returned
by the grand Jury on complaint of
Mr. Shoup, of the upward of $24,000
due In taxes from fishing Interests,
$19,988.00 was due from what are
termed "Foreign Corporuliona." fish
ing intereata in thla division owned
by non-residenta of Alaaka. leaving
but a fraction more than $4,000 due
from reaident owners.
Mr. Shoup aaya that shortly after
the first of the new year it Is hia In
tention to file n protest againat fur
ther operatlona by fishing Interests
which are in arrears in payment of
the tax due from them, thua putting
it up to them to pay up or quit bus
in ess.
The foregoing amounts involved,
taxes due and unpaid and taxea paid
since the Indictments were returned
are all for the year 1920, no action
having been taken yet for the collec
tion of tax duo for the preaent year.
