"POLITICAL HARMONY"
The democratic machine in Alj
aska is apparently haying hard work
to keep some of its more independ
ent members whipped in line when
U comes to the question of support
ing Mr. Bunnell as delegate to con
gress in place of Mr. W'icker
* sham, the latter haying already been
weighed in the balance of public
opinion and not found wanting.
All the "tommy-rot" that the Ju
neau Empire and other party organs
in Alaska have been preaching about
democratic harmony and the need
for the delegate to congress from
this territory to be in political ac
cord with the administration at
Washington City, is beginning to be
looked upon, by intelligent voters
with a great deal or suspicion, and
doubt, and the bid for their support
win have to be backed up by more
than the unsupported word of a
few individuals who, haying their
ueck and shoulders already in the
"•pork barrel," are now seeking to
squeeze in the remainder of their
bodies.
When Mr. "W'ickersham was in Ju
neau a couple of weeks or so ago,
the secretary of the ""democratic
club of that city sat upon the plat
form during one of his speeches.
Result; the secretary lost his job
At Seward the other night the
meeting at which Mr. Wickershanj
spoke was presided over by the
chairman of the local democratic
club and one of the members of
the executive committee of the club
also made himself obnoxious by his
advocacy of the claims of Mr. Wick
11 sham. In these cases there
were two resuit^but as the ending
of them was simiiaT they might as
well have been one. They were both
fired bodily from the democratic or
ganization. In speaking of the Se
ward fiasco, the Gateway savs;
x>y a uuauimuu^ vwiy uvuw
cratic club of Seward removed its
president, Dr Charles Daggett, from
office last night and also declared
Mm no longer a member of the
club because he introduced Dele
gate Wickersham at the meeting ad
dressed by the delegate Wednes
day evening. John Noon, a mem
ber of the executive committee, was
also removed from the rolls and con
sequently from office. Mr. Noon
was present aud entered into a
discussion but retired, when the
resolution was passed. Dr. Dagett
did not attend the meeting.
"When it was found that Dr. Dag
gett had introduced Mr. Wicker
sham the club called a special meet
ing at the store, of George Phelps,
the committeeman for this district.
Vice President Hoot occupied the
chair in the absence of the presi
dent and stated that the object of
the meeting was to discuss the ac
tion of the president and any other
member who refused to support the
candidate of the party. Mr. Noon
declared that he supported Wicker
sham and asked if he could remain.
After a rather heated discussion
the resolution was passed remov
ing him from the club and he left.
"Some further discussion took
place before T. W. Hawkins moved
that Dr. Daggett be removed from th
roil of membership and, therefore,
from the presidency. The resolu
tion was carried unanimously.
New officers were then elected to
fill the places made .vacant by the
removals. Vice President Root was
elected president and Wayne Blue
was elected vice president, to take
Mr, Root's place. D. C. Mathison
was elected on the executive com
mittee."

REVENUE LAWS: IB!2 AND t®13
Washington, D. C., October, 1914.
—Director Wm. J. Harris, of the
Bureau of the Census, Department
of Commerce, announces that a bul
letin containing a digest of the laws
relating to the revenue systems of
the state and local governments has
been completed and is ready for dis
tribution. The bulletin describes in
detail the different sources of rev
enue in each state, including gen
eral property taxes, poll taxes, the
inheritance tax, corporation taxes,
the income tax, and lousiness taxes,
licenses, and fees, and in the case
of the general property taxes en
umerates the classes of property
subject to such taxes, the methods
of assessment, equalization, and col
lection, and the statutory limitations
of the rates of such levies.
The laws relating to taxation, as
shown by the present bulletin, have
undergone great changes since 1912,
which was the date of the last re
port on this subject issued by t£e
Bureau of the Census. Among the
changes to be noted has been the
creation of numerous tax commis
sions in the various states, having
wide discretionary powers over the
administration of the -work of local
officials connected with taxation,
and full power over the assessment
of the property of corporation do
ing business in two or more coun
tries of the same state.
I For the first time in the history
I of world's exposition at the Panama
Pacific Internaation Exposition,!
great mural paintings are being
used out of doors. These are the
work of some of the most famous
painters, including the celebrated
"ten American painters." The mur
als have been made upon canvas
with a view of their permanent pre
servation. Two huge canvasses,
each 46 x 16 feet, by Frank Du
Mond and Edward Simmons will
shortly be placed in the triumphal
arches in the Court of the Universe.
Du Mond's canvasses depict the
movement of immigration from New
England to California and the la
bors of the empire builders in the
Golden land. Simmons' paintings
are more purely allegorical, -with
many- female figures done in soft
bright tones with novel and mastes
ly technique.
