A BRILLIANT ALASKAN
The death of Major Dan Pullen, at
Washington, D. C., last week, from
sleeping sickness, deprived Alaska of
the services of one of its most bril
liant men. Major Pullen was born in
the states but came to Dyea with his
mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Pullen, in ls97.
lie grew to manhood in Alaska, and
in 19"6 received the appointment to
West Point, this being the first ap
pointment to the military academy
ever made in the Territory. In 1916
Lieut. Pullen was made a captain; in
1917 he was commissioned major; and
was then sent to France as a colonel
in charge of th efamous Thirtieth di
vision, Tank Corps, where he served
honorably and well, being decorated
nine times.
A crack athlete, having won many
prizes on the gridiron and in the boat
crew of the University of Washington,
where he received his education, he
carried the same determination to win
into his arm service. At all times
considerate and careful of his men, he
was beloved by all with whom he
came in contact.
In the death of Major Pullen, the
country loses a stalwart American; a
man who was willing to lay down his
lite for his principles; and Alaska has
lost one of her must brilliant sons.

TAXATION Will NOT BE INCREASED!
Petersburg has just issued bonds for $100,000 for in
stallation of light service. The matter was taken into the
courts and the City of Petersburg was upheld in the issu
ance and sale of bonds for such purposes. Judge Reed held
that the issuance of bonds was not a lien upon the prop
erty of the town and that the plants themselves were only
! liable.
The law provides: The income from Public Service
Plants must be deposited in a separate fund and only used
for maintenance, the interest on bonds and to take up
bonds maturing. THE LAW DOES NOT ALLOW THE
PERSONAL OR REAL PROPERTY OF SEWARD TO
BE TAXED FOR PUBLIC UTILITIES:
The following letter is published by the Better Sew
ard Committee for your information and is self explana
tory :
Letter from Commissioner of Education
OFFICE OF COMMISSIONER OF EDUCATION
J U N EAU. ALASKA
JUNEAU, Alaska, August S, 1922.
; Mr. Curtis R. Morford, Clerk ot: School Board, Seward Alaska.
Dear Mr. Morford: Receipt is hereby acknowledged of the budget of pro
! posed expenditures for the maintenance of the Seward School for the school
| year 1922-23. There is one item listed concerning which I should like to make
inquiry.
In auditing the various reports of the Treasurer of the Seward Schools
for the past few years I have noted that you are forced to pay wrhat appears
to me to be a very exorbitant rate for light and water. Your budget covering
these two items for the ensuing school year is $500 and $200 respectively.
These figures are so high when compared with expenditure of other schools
that it seems to me the question should be raised as to whether or not the
City of Seward and Territory are not being held up by the company which
provides these necessities.
Following is the list of the incorporated towns situated in various parts
i of the Territory together with the budget covering proposed expenditures for
! light and water.
Anchorage—Light $500, Water $30.00.
Douglas, Light $100; water $24.00.
Nenana, Light, $150.00; water $25.00.
Skagway, Light, $75.00; water $60.00.
Ketchikan, both items, $400.00.
Cordova, Light $175.00; water $50.00.
Fairbanks, Light $450.00; water $125.00.
- Nome, Light, $300.00; water $200.00.
Petersburg, Light $75.00; water $200.00.
Juneau, both items including all power driven machine, $700.00.
When one considers the difference between the size of the Anchorage,
Juneau. Ketchikan and Fairbanks school buildings the disproportion in the
| charge is all the more noticeable.
Seward pays $170 more than Anchorage; $576 more than Douglas; $525
I more than Nenana; $565 more than Skagway; $300 more than Ketchikan;
$475 more than Cordova; $125 more than Fairbanks; $200 more than Nome,
I and $565 more than Petersburg.
