Iln* steamboat. taxes go into the
Alaska fund, from which expen
ditures for schools, roads, etc.,
are made, while the wharfage tax]

Those cases, tiled in 1000, were
railed before Judiji's Cushmau
and Overlleld on August 2-i, 101 I,
aifI«»i* wliieh a referee was ap
pointed t«» ascertain the amounts

The referee's report further
shows that, both the Northern
Coiucmrcial company and the
Northern Navigation company
have pi ••cured the required licen

steamers in Alaskan waters for
the years from 1905 to 1011, in
clusive, hut neither look out, as
required by the code, licenses for
their boats operating to and from
a foreign country—in other words
boats on the Dawson run.
There was a controversy be
tween the authorities and the
company as to the proper con
struction of the provisions of the
code covering licenses, which
came up in the year 1000, and,
under telegraphic instructions
from Attorney (ieneral Moody to
the then district attorney, N. V.
Harlan, and under the provisions
of this telegram and on October
20, 1000, the company entered in-,
to a stipulation,, from which it
appears that a controversy had
arisen between the. United States
and the company a* to the con
struction of section 'iGO (section
covering licenses) of the Alaska
Code, and in the statement of the
United States admits that it is
"in doubt as !«» the proper con
struction of said section,, and
consents that the same be sub
mitted to' t he ooy'rt for construc
tion." Said stipulation also -pro
vides that there has been no en
'deavor on the part of the com
pany to avoid payment of .licen
ses and admits that all parties to
the controversy in question are
acting in perfect, good faith. The
matter has been pending before
Judges Wickershani, (limnison,
