Chamber of Commerce
Has Large Attendance
Jan Van Eman, the talented artist,
who is visiting Seward, was a guest
yesterday at the regular weekly
luncheon at the local Chamber. Mr.
Van Eman in a short talk to the
members said that one could not help
being inspired by the local scenery,
and that an artist’s work was one of
the best advertisements a commu
nity could have.
* A number of communications were
received from parties in the States,
inquiring about Alaska, and opportu
nities for work in this locality. Com
munications were received from the
“Where to Go” tourist company, from
Col. Hartman of the Signal Corps;
and from a number of other parties.
Committees on various propositions
made their reports and were contin
ued.
A communication was received from
Secretary John E. Meals, of the All
Alaska Chamber of Commerce, stat
ing that Cordova, Valdez and Anchor
age had ratified the by_laws and con
stitution of the proposed organiza
tion, and asking - that the Seward
Chamber take action. President Hinde
appointed a committee to look over
the by-laws and. constitution and re
port at the next meeting.
The matter of securing space in the
rotagravure section of the Alaska
Weekly was held over until some fu
ture meeting.
The committee on the proposed
booklet to be printed reported that a
bid of $168 had been received for a
32-page folder, 4x9, the edition to con
sist of 1000 copies. The committee
was instructed to proceed with the
work, securing appropriate illustra
tions. The need for such advertising
was apparent byvthe large number of
communications received from pros
pective settlers.
A motion was carried to secure the
abrogation of the act preventing the
exportation of articles made from

PUBLICATION TAX
FIGURES CHARGED
U. S. GRAND JURY INDICTS THE
BALTIMORE POST FOR PUB
LISHING TAX, FIGURES
BALTIMORE, Md., Dec. - 3.—The
Baltimore Post Company, publishers
of the Baltimore Daily Post, today
was indicted by the United States
grand jury in an action brought by
the government to test the legality
of publication of income tax returns
by newspapers.
The indictment, which consists of
live counts charges the company
with the “unlawful publication” on
last October 24 of the names and
income tax returns of five men,
whose names and the amounts of
their payments are set forth in the
indictment.
The indictment followed the ap
pearance before the grand jury to
day of Harold Allen and Sewell Key,
special assistants to Attorney Gen
eral Stone. Galen T. Tait, internal
revenue collector for this district,
was named as the prosecuting wit
ness. So far as known he was the
only witness.
First Test Case.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 3.—The
[ Baltimore Daily Post was indicetd
by the federal grand jury today for
publication of the income tax lists.
The indictment, the first test case
to be instituted by the department of
justice to obtain judicial construc
tion of conflicting provisions in the
income tax law, charges that the
Post printed the returns on income
taxes in violation of section 3167 of
the revised statutes despite a warn
ing given by the treasury depart
ment when public inspection was
ordered.
WASHINGTON, D. Dec. 3.—In
the grand jury proceedings against
the Baltimore Daily Post, Attorney
General Stone sought to present va
rious phases of the question of pub
lishing income tax returns so that
a court ruling may be obtained un
der the conditions exsiting ift Balti
more.
He has instructed United States
attorneys in six or seven other in
stances to make presentments to
grand juries in as many cities, ask
ing indictments of newspapers there
to obtain court expressions in a
variety of communities.
The attorney general said today
he would press for early court ac
tion in the Baltimore case and would
pursue the same policy with respect
to the others. He desires to get the
question to the supreme court as
soon as possible.
Since the indictment in Baltimore
is against the Baltimore Post com
pany. it was indicated that the de
partment of justice desired to hinge
that case on the alleged culpability
of a corporation instead of an in
dividual. In some of the other cases
indictments may be brought against
individuals, in order to develop an
other phase of the apparent conflict
fn the tax law, which says in one
instance that the income tax re
turns shall be open to public in
spection and in another paragraph
re-enacts section 3716 of the revised
statutes, making it an offense to
print information concerning the re
turns.
The attorney general received ‘the
question of the liability of newspa
pers under the .tax law from the
treasury department, which at the
time it ordered the income tax lists
made public issued a warning
against their publication.
The treasury, Secretary Mellon
said at that time, could take no
further steps. It had attempted to
comply with the law, which said
specifically that the returns must
be opened at the earliest date after
the tax year was complete.
