PAY TUX DUE
UN FISH
Statistics are being prepared on the
canneries in Alaska and their output
for the past two seasons, for the ter
ritorial attorney, who will probably be
instructed in the near future to bring
suit agStnst the owners to recover tax
money due from them for the levy of
7 cents per case on their output, under
the law passed by the First Alaskan
legislature.
When questioned Governor Strong
was reluctant to make any state-:
ment on the matter, but said that he J
would probably instruct the beginning,
of the actions within a short time.
The Fish Trap law, which was pass
ed by the Second legislature is now be
fore the courts for a test, the cannery
men claiming that the legislature has
no power to Impose additional taxes
on them, and they have refused to pay
in several instahces. Judge Jennings
decided against the fish men in the
case of the Territory vs. the Hoonah
Packing company and the Territory
vs. the Northwest Fisheries company,
and three companies have appealed
the case to the circuit court of appeals,
through their attorneys.
Governor Strons says that he is un
decided whether to have the suit filed
immediately, or to await the outcome
of the appeal now pending. “How
ever we are having the statistics com
piled so that everything will be in
readiness when the time comes. I
may order the filing of the suits at
once, and I may W’ait,” he said when
disscussing the matter.

SCARCITY D T [ S
Owing to the failure to get German
dyes, the color of news print paper will
be gradually changed.
Not only has the war made all kinds
of material used In printing higher,
but there is also an absolute shortage
of paper. This reminds us of the
great tracts of timber in Alaska which
could be utilized for making paper.
The following self-explantory letter
to the Daily Times is from the Crown
Willamette Paper Company regarding
the change which will be made in the
color of paper:
The writer, or his representative,
has discussed with you the question of
shortage of dyes by reason of the
European war, and has advised that
sooner or later It would be impossible
to continue the present color of news
print paper. This shortage of dyes
has become acute, and it is impossible
to secure the blue and red dyes which
in combination help to give the news
print its effective color. These con
ditions exist throughout the entire
taper trade. We understood you have
left the reduction of color to our dis
cretion.
Our stock on hand will last but a
few months. We will endeavor to
make our deliveries ou your contracts
in such a manner that the change of
color will proceed by easy stages so
that the 'various editions will not
show too much daily contrast, and
readers and advertisers will thus be
come accustomed without comment to
the new conditions. Every manufac
turer and publisher in this country and
Canada is obliged to meet this condi
tion, and it will therefore work no
unusual hardship on any particular
customer.
