SAYS VALIDITY
OF POLL TAX IS
NOT INVOLVED
About ten days ago there appeared
in the Daily Times a telegraphic mes
sage from San Francisco stating that
the Alaska poll tax law might possibly
be involved in a decision recently
handed down by the federal court.
The message stated that the offi
cials in San Francisco believed the de
cision would tend to contest the con
stitutionality of the law. referring to
the act passed by the 1919 Alaska
legislature, imposing a tax of $5 on
all male residents of the territory be
tween the ages of 21 and 50 years.
Attorney General J. C. Murphy of
Alaska says the San Francisco officials
have an absolute misconception of the
findings of the United States district
court at San Francisco, which deci
sion came about in the following man
ner:
Certain Alaska fishermen started an
action in admiralty at San Francisco
in the latter part of the year against
the Alaska Packers’ Association, seek
ing to recover certain moneys held out
by the association in accordance with
the Alaska law.
The facts were stipulated up to the
court. United States District Judge
Rudkin of Spokane, sitting, rendered
an opinion tacitly holding the consti
tutionality of the act which had been
aftacked. Messrs. Chickering and
Gregory and the attorney general of
the territory appeared for the Alaska
Packers’ Association.
Later the libellant asked for a re
hearing simply and solely on the ques
tion of the notice served on the libel
lant for the year 1919. The territorial
officials have not 'yet been notified as
to any decision on this point, but in
case of an adverse decision, Mr. Mur
phy says, the case will be appealed to
the circuit court of appeals.
Recently Judge Jennings, in the
United States district court at Juneau,
sustained a demurrer to a complaint
in which Libby, McNeill & Libby
sought to enjoin School Tax Collector
Cramer from collecting the tax in Ju
neau.
From the facts in the case it would
seem that the validity of the tax has
been upheld.
STRONG ATTRACTION
AT EMPRESS TONIGHT
"The Mid-night Patrol.” billed to
night at the Empress is a picture re
plete with sensational moments, filled
with genuine thrills, and capped by a
wholesome love story. It is melo
drama of the highest type. The sit
uations are not overdrawn, but even
the most sensational scenes are de
veloped with a truthfulness and sin
cerity that are convincing. It is a
tale of love, intrigue and lawlessness,
and in the able hands of Mr. Ince,
the picture becomes one of the great
special productions of the American
screen.
Many of the more startling views
were actually filmed in the Chinese
Underworld, at great personal risk,
and to the complete bewilderment of
the natives.
A Pathe News, and a short
comedy complete what will prove an
exceptionally strong program.

TO THE
REPUBLICAN
VOTERS
WHAT I STAND FOR:
I am a candidate for National Com
mitteeman of the Republican party, to
be elected April 27, and I stand for
the following principles:
I am not a politician, and never ran
for office before. I belong to no po
litical machine or combine, and am
under obligations to no clique or fac
tion.
I am opposed to machine domina
tion in Alaska, and if you elect me I
will take my orders from the people
and nobody else.
While my home is in Anchorage,
where I received the unanimous in
: dorsement of the Anchorage Repub
lican Club, composed of over one hun
dred and fifty members, I will work
for the entire Territory of Alaska
first, last and all the time.
If you elect me I will do my utmost
to see that each locality or division
shall name the officers of that locality
or division, and I will fight bitterly
the appointment of anyone outside of
1 *
Alaska to an Alaska office.
Alaska has been my home for 23
years, winter and summer, and I feel
sure I know what Alaska needs.
The time has come to put an end
to outside dictation in our affairs, and
I believe what Alaska needs is more
I
firesides and fewer carpetbaggers.
The only way to rid Alaska of ma
chine politicians is to vote against
them. People of Alaska, I am making
this fight for these principles, and I
want your help. You deliver the votes
and I will deliver the goods.
JACK CHOVIN.
