TERRITORIAL
- TREASURY
,W. G. Smith, sceretary of the
Territorial Banking Board anil Trent*
urer for Alaska, who has been iu
Sksgway since last Wednesday night
on his annual visit of Inspection,
this morning said the greatest
amount of money <jver accumulated
In the Alaska treasury was last
summer when back taxes swelled
the fund to $857,000.
i Despite heavy disbursements to
ward Territorial road work there
are at the present time $700,000
in *ne treasury, whicli amount will
considerably reduced when the
firs' allotment of funds is made to
schools.
IHe Alilbna Icgiswiurt! lias • ••
sti ucted the Territorial treasurer to
allot ?50,000 per year, for a period
of two years, to each division for
road work. This totals $200,000
per year, however some of the divi
sions have not used their full allot
ment, which money still remains in
the treasury for use the coming sea
son. Big appropriations have
been made for schools outside of in
corporated towns, and in addition
$315,000 has been set aside, each
year for a period of tjvo years, for
schools in incorporated towns. The
latter schools send their bills to
the treasury every three months,
and up to this time none has been
received. When this payment is
mado a considerable shrinkage in
the funds will take place.
Mr. Smith stated the reason for
the big expenditures by the Terri
torial treasury wag because of the
decrease In federal taxes causing a
shrinkage in the Alaska fund, and
because of the decrease iu taxes
from iucorporated towns which were
returned to those towns. The Al
aska fund, set aside 65 per cent
for the road commission, 25 percent
to supply schools outside incorpor
ated towns, and 10 percent went
to judges for the relief of destitu
tion in their districts. This fund
is constantly shrinking, necessitat
ing larger appropriations on the
purl o" the Territorial treasury, as
authorized by the legislature.
Th-J heaviest tax season for this
year is yet to come, from January
to April. The biggest sources o£
revenue to the territory are from
fisa and mining; the former pay a
graduated tax and the latter pay
1 percent of their net income. Fish
traos pay $100 a year. Doctors,
dentists, lawyers, bakeries, laun
driec and registered boats pay a
yearly tax. Telephone companies,
electric and water companies pay
^ c{ 1 oercent of their gross re
ceipts. Autos for hire pay a year
ly tax of $5.00; public messengers
j.?v $25, meat markets and cold
storage plants pay a graduated tax,
and the railroads of Alaska pay a
tax of 1 percent on their gross in
come

TWO Y IKON EKS INJURED
Word was received here this
uiorniu?: by E. J. White that Frank
Wilson, a boy who formerly worked
for him at Whitehorse, Yukon, was
recently dangerously wounded on
the French front, prseumably from
a bursting shell, one of his arms
and a portion of liis shoulder be
inz blown off. Young Wilson lacked
cnly u year of being through col
lege at Vancouver, B. C., when he
left for the front. The same letter
this morning' brought word of Sel
wood Tanner, another young maji
who went to the war from White
horse, had undergone an operation
for a shell wound and that a por
tion of his vertebra had been tak
en oui. Tanner was an English
man and being fond of outdoor life,
was living in the Yukon for the
hunting and general wild life af
forded there. Young Wilson's par
ents reside at Whitehorse. His
ouly brother offered his services to
V's country, but was rejected on
acount of a diseased hip.

Frank Wilson is well known in

STUDENTS BAN CANDY IN
YAKIMA
Yakima, Nov. 27.—•Starting) with;
a Physics recitation about ten days
ago, when the class studied the
quesxion of waste of sugar and
methods lor its conservation, a
movement h«s spread through the
Yakima high school against the
u§e of candy by students. The
result has been to eliminate this
branch of business from a neigh
boiiue store largely patronized by
high school students.
Promoters of the movement called
on the store proprietor, and after
oome argument it was agreed that
ho shc uld have one week in which to
dispose of his candy stock, and
that thereafter he would sell «o
candy. i
Tnose students who Btill cling to
their passion for candy are ostraciz
ed by their fellows in many effect
ive ways peculiar to students.
