BOYMEMBEROF
LEGISLATURE
IS SELF-MADE
Representative James J. Bogan of
Nome is the youngest member of the
Fourth legislature, and the youngest
man ever elected to the legislature in
this territory. He is 24 years of age,
and has lived half of his life in Alas
ka. Mr. Bogan got discharged from
the United States army at Fort Dodge
to go to Juneau to attend t' e legisla
tive session.
Mr. Bogan and a brother, two years
older than himself, came to Juneau
after the death of their father at
Deadville, Col., where both the boys
were born. Their mother and died
earlier, and they were orphans, with
out other relatives. Their father had
been in Alaska in the pioneer days,
and the stories he had told appealed
to the imagination of the Bogan boys,
so they started out for t' c land of
promise. The elder of the boys was
'J4 ar.d the younger, the present rep
resentative, was but 12 when they
reached Nome. They worked at what
they could find to do, and attended
school. Nome liked them and they
liked Nome. They remained there un
til September. 1918, when they sailed
away on the transport, answering the
call to arms on their country. They
got in the same company, and were
together in the army as they had been
as boys at Nome, until James J. Bogan
got his discharge from the army to
go to Juneau to attend the session of
the legislature.
Representative Bogan is a graduate
of the Nome high school. His brother
is still in the army.

TEXAS TROOPS’ MASCOT
SUCCUMBS IN FRANCE
BROWNSVILLE, Tex., March 4.—
Salaman Lerma, 15 years old, the
“Little Soldier Man” of the Twenty
sixth infantry, is dead. After three
years’ service he died of pneumonia in
the trenches of France and was buried
at Gondecourt with military honors.
His home town, San Benito, has been
asked to place a gold star in its ser
vice flag.
“He was not an enlisted man,' for
cannot enlist at 15,” wrote Samuel
Robertson, lieutenant colonel of engi
neers in France, telling of his death.
“But he had been mascot of E com
pany, Twenty-sixth infantry, from
September, 1915, until death.
“No braver spirit ever served in the
United States army. He has no rela
ties and most of his old company
have been killed or w mnded. In late
November, when I saw them, there
were only three men left who were
in the company at Sun Benito.”
Salaman, a homeless lad of 12 years,
was adopted at San Benito by the
Tv/entv-sixth, then patrolling the
Mexican border. Adventure awaited
just over the threshold, and he met
th» test with a courage that brought
instant distinction.
With Robertson, then a Civilian, he
was driving through a lonely stretch
of country twelve miles from San Ben
ito. A band of Mexicans suddenly ap
peared from a patch of brush and sur
rounded the automobile. In an in

stant firing became general and a rain
of bullets clattered against the car,
which continued plunging forward,
with Robertson and the lad returning
the lire. Robertson's hat was shot
from his head. The boy escaped un
hurt.
When the regiment proeeecron to
France, Salaman went along as mas
cot, and was in the trenches for sev
eral months.

LARGE INCREASE
IN CUSTOMS RECEIPTS
*
WASHINGTON, March 5.—Slogans
coined by the internal revenue bureau
to stimulate early and full payment of
income taxes reflect the changed con
ditions in which the taxpayer finds
himself now that victory has been
won and hostilities have ceased. The
powers of autocracy have been de
feated but the monetary cost of the
success still to be met, largely by the
taxes to be paid this year.
“‘Army of Occupation’ sounds good,
but it needs your support,” says one
of the slogans. Then it asks, “Have
you paid your income tax?”
Another classes an income tax re
ceipt with a gold service stripe.
Those who celebrated victory most
loudly are reminded that “tooting a
horn on armistice day did not. end
your part in winning a peace with
victory. Paying your income tax
makes more real noise than tooting a
horn.”
Persons who may be inclined to
grumble at the increased rate of tax
ation are given food for thought in
the following:
"If you think your income tax a
hardship, picture w’hat you would have
been up against had William Hohen
zollern won the chainpionsliip job.”
Other slogans include:
“You stand up for the National An
them. Now stand up and pay your in
come tax.”
“There were no delinquents at Chat
eau Thierry. Are you delaying the
payment of your income tax?”
“Don’t try to fool your conscience
by cheering the returning soldiers and
forgetting to pay your income tax. An
income tax evader hasn’t much on any
of the other pro-Germans.”
“If you didn’t serve over there you
can serve over here by paying your
income tax.”
“When the boys come home they
will ask what you have done. Show
them your income tax receipt.”
“When you pay your income tax you
get a receipt from Uncle Sam. What
would William Hohenzollem ’’ave
handed you ?”
“Uncle Sam still has a big job
ahead of him. Help him by paying
your income tax now.”
