Suit Filed Against
Harris for 1923 Taxes
Suit was brought in the Federal
District Court in Juneau by the Ter
ritory against P. E. Harris & Co.,
for $4,134.88, and interest at 12
per cent since January 15, 1924, for
alleged unpaid taxes on that com
pany’s salmon pack of 1923. It is
claimed that this account is due
under the salmon graduated pack
tax law passed by the Territorial
Legislature in 1923.
The suit was started by Attorney
General John Rustgard. Two counts
are contained in the complaint. The
first charges that the sum of $1,
089.29 is due from the pack at Hawk
Inlet, on Admiralty Island. The sec
ond charges there is due the sum
of $3,045.59 from the cannery at
False Pass in western Alaska. Both
sums include the penalty attaching
for nonpayment of taxes.
The validty of the graduated pack
tax has twrice been upheld. A test
case brought in the local court wras
decided in favor of the Territory by
Judge T. M. Reed. It was carried
to the Circuit Court of Appeals for
the Ninth District, at San Francisco.
Several weeks later that court af
firmed Judge Reed’s decision. The
Appellaate Court’s decision held, how'
ever, that the question was a close
one. An effort is being made to
get the matter before the Supreme
Court of the United States for filial
review.
The P. E. Harris Co. bases its
refusal to pay the graduated sched
ules on a claim that it had taken
out its licneses prior to the enact
ment of the law, according to At
torney General Rustgard. This is
sue, he added, had not arisen in the
test case tried last year to deter
mine the law’s validity but is now
being raised for the first time.
GET LIQUOR BOAT BUT
NO BOOTLEGGERS
Coast Guard officials maintaining
a patrol of the beaches surround
ing Ketchikan recently apprehended
the gas boat Hazel while the vessel
was attempting to land a quantity
of liquor at the wharf of the General
Petroleum Co. in Newtown. The op
erator or operators of the boat saw
the coast guardsmen approaching and
made good their escape leaving little
on the boat to identify them and
customs officials were employed at
working up the case before making
any charges.
The Hazel is a small gas boat
of about five tons capacity and has
a high powered engine which drives
it at a better than ten knot clip,
it is said, but had no opportunity to
try speed with the cutters.
