PRESIDENT'S message read
BEFORE JOINT SESSION
Washington, Sept. 5—In the spec
ial message read by President Wil
son at a joint session of the hous
es of congress yesterday recom
mending a war tax on certain ar
ticles in order to offset the loss of
$100,000,008 in revenue occasioned
by the European war, the presi
dent said thai the United States
treasury must be kept in good con
dition and as it is no time to bor
row money the people can easily
stand a small war tax on a few of
the things which they use.
In conformity with the message
the members of both houses <f
congress immediately got busy with
the consideration of a war tax
which will probably effect an in
crease of one cent per gallon on
gasoline, 5 to 10 per cent on rail
road and amusement tickets, fifty
<ents per barrel on beer and 15
cents per gallon on domestic wines
and whiskies.

The third annual fair, a horticul
tural, agricultural, industrial an*
mineral exhibition which will take
placo in Skagway on September
12th, 1914, promises to bo one of
the best expositions ot tj>e re

other northern sections that has
ever been held here.

Secretary F. J. Van de Wall of
association will bo iu attendance
there from 3 to 5 p. ni. on Sunday,
September 6th, to allot space to
exhibitors. _
It is the intention t* conduct the
fair this year along different lines
from those of last year in many
ways. For instance: tho associa
tion will give more valuable prizes
and liberal cash premiums than
last yar, and as there was a good J
deal of dissatisfaction expressed
then over the awards being made by
judges unacquainted with the merits
of the exhibits it has been decided,
if possible, to secure the services of

to witness a Silver Medal Contest.

profusion of while blossoms, made a
