TERRITORIAL TREASURY IS
FACING SERIOUS STRAIN
Rigid economy in the affairs of
territory must be the order of public
affairs during the next two years or
plans for the raising of greater
revenue must be devised, in the
opinion of those familiar with the
territory’s finances.
At the present time all public
monies that come into the public
treasury are derived from license
fees and special taxes on the output
of mines and the fisheries. These
have been insufficient to carry on
the business of the territory and
for the past two years the public
business has cost more than the in
come.
According to the books in the
office of Territorial Treasurer Smith
there is an annual income of about
$550,000.
The large part of the territorial
monies are derived from the fisher
ies business. On account of litiga
tion this was held up until two or
three years ago, when it was paid
into the treasury in a lump sum,
and at one time there was close
to a million dollars in the treasury.
The last legislature made appropria
tions to the extent that the outgo
is now larger than the annual
average income.
While it is within the power of the
legislature to provide a general prop
erty tax, many people contend that
this would involve the making of
a new valuation and assessment of
all the property in the entire terri
tory, and then there would have
to be provided in each division newj
machinery for the collection of the!
taxes. The question bids fair to be
one of the hard problems which will
confront the coming session of the
territorial lawmakers.

FAIRBANKS REPUBLICANS j j
INDORSE CANDIDATES j
_ ii
I!
A very largely attended meeting;
of Fairbanks Republicans was held
at Eagle hall on Tursday night and
the indorsement of aspirants for di- ;
visional offices was the order of the
evening.
There were two surprises sprung
on the meeting, the first being the
indorsement of Thos. A. Marquam
for district judge, and the failure of
supporters of Judge Wickersham to
bring the gubernatorial question be- j
fore the meeting. An effort was
made to get an indorsement for
J. J. Crosslcy, for judge, but his
following following was inconse-;
quental.
An effort was made to have all |
the candidates places in nomination j
for a general vote, but that plan j
was defeated. The club then decided
to give indorsements to the candi- j
dates receiving the high vote.
In the contest for the judgeship, j
Marquam led with 222 votes, Cecil
H. Clegg was second high with 141,
E. Coke Hill received 14 votes and ;
Louis K. Pratt six.
Charles Beam received the in
dorsement of the club for marshal
with a total of 226 votes, with O.
P. Gaustad second with 107. Bert
Stevens received 26 and P. J. Rick
ert 25. *
Guy B. Erwin was the unanimous j
choice of the meeting for appoint
ment as United States attorney. He
was the only candidate seeking in-,
dorsement.
Senator-elect E. B. Collins and
Hawley Sterling contested the in-1
dorsement for surveyor-general of
the territory, and Sterling received
a majority of 70 votes, his total
being 180. j
As is indicated by the votes east
for the various candidates, the
meeting was well attended, and
there were quite a number of women I
on hand to tnke part in the pro
ceedings. j
Ed Stier, former member of the
A. E. C. store office force, in Ne
