WASHIGTON, D. C., May 31.—
The Senate Finance Committee is
still adjusting the revenue bill so
that the consumer of necessities will
ease the whack for the^big revenued
man who is not to be surtaxed. To
day they decided to add a provision
to the war tax bill will give the
poorer folk a better opportunity of
paying for the luxury of war. and
this is by the placing of a tax of
two cents a pound on coffee, five
cents a pound on tea, halt a cent

Governor Strong left Juneau a
time ago upon his annual vacation.
It is surmised according to informa
tion received in Nome that he will
visit Washington and may have
something to say in his own as well
as other Alaskan appointments.
Furthermore the Governor may be
a responsible witness in case the
claim of Wickersham to the dele
gateship should reach the committee
stage of investigation while he is
in Washington.

providing also for the taxation of
substitutes for any or all of these.
The Senate Committee thinks that
in this way the burden will be more
equitably divided and the whole po
pulation pay share and share alike,
instead of compelling the richer
man to shoulder more than any
others.
It is expected, according to the
Senators, to raise eighty millions in
this nay with great ease.
WASHINGTON", D. C., May 31.—
That the revenue bill faces a rocky
road owing to the Senate improve
ments is morally certain, and many
members of the House insist upon
eliminating these amendments
which throw the onus of paying the
war taxes upon the workers while
relieving the richer of the surtax or.
incomes. The administration offici
als do not take kindly to this policy
as they fear it may increase the un
popularity of the war feeling.

this break up was higher than in
many years and did considerable
damage. It mounted to several ca
bins and swept away bridges etc.
when at its height. In fact even
yet it is still running high. In this,
this creek is an exception. .Most
of the creeks and rivers have had
lower water this break up, and high
water for a shorter time, than in
many previous years. This was
especially the case with Nome and
Snake rivers and was due to the
fact that the snowfall in tin- hills

former years.
