MANY CHANGES NEEDED
The coming Territorial legislature
will convene with the greater part
of its membersnip consecrated to the
literacy bill. It will also stand Jo?
lower taxes, if pre-election pledges
are kept. Alaska is fast outrunning
its receipts by reason of numerous
boards and commissions appointed
in late years. The receipts have di
minished and expenditures increas
ed to a point where it occasions
alarm among conservative citizens
who place efficiency above pelf, and
desire to spend their days here. One
fact stands out pre-eminent above
all others. Something must be done
to insure the payment of the pen
sion to pioneers, without cutting it
in two or interfering with the bill in
any way. Many pioneers in this sec
tion have been in actual want the
past six months thru failure of the
fund, and face a winter full of hard
ships. Relief must be given the fish
ing industry and the fur farmer. The
tax passed by the last legislature
has proved the most unpopular of
any yet applied, and is wrong in that
it picks out the fur farmer and tax
es him heavily and allows the agri
culture farmer to escape scot free.
We believe that neither agricuture
nor fur should be taxed, at least un
til the business has passed the ex
perimental stage. Too many taxes
pile Ossia upon Pelion and strangle
industry and ambition. Taxes are too
heavy in incorporated towns, while
industries outside of the incorporat
ed towns pay no taxes on personal
property or real estate. Two many
agents are used to collect taxes al
ready levied, and the cost is too
great. In many cases agents have
expended more than the tax in trav
eling long distances to collect from
one or two individuals or firms. The
principle of forcing all taxes to be
paid to the territorial treasurer to pay
a penaty could be applied in the ter
ritory as well as in the states, and
would save many dollars in the long
run. With few exceptions these con
cerns would send in license moneys
and taxes if compelled to.
We believe the coming legislature
with one or two exceptions is com
posed of men of ability and with the
best interests of the Territory at
heart. They undoubtedly face a pro
blem worthy of a financier, but we
have confidence it can be solved if
the will to do is present.
EDITOR HONORED
The election of Editor Charles Wil
cox, of Valdez, is one of the modern
miracles nad may be likened to the
parable of the loaves and fishes. Mr.
Wilcox is one newspaper man who
has been rewarded by the confidence
of the people. His platform is sim
ple, being the expression that he be
lieved in lowering taxes and repeal
ing many of the present laws instead
of making new ones. To the Fourth
Estate the election of Mr. Wilcox
is very acceptable, and especially so
on account of his great ability. It
will be a fitting reward for a 25
years residence in the Third division
and we cannot but believe that he

ABRUPTLY IN COURT
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 22.—Gil
bert Loken, jr., thought it was fair
er to his young and pretty wife
to tell her he loved somebody else
than to have her find it out for
herself, she asserted in a petition
for divorce, disclosing the wreck
of it romance begun several years
ago at the University of California,
which was filed in Los Angeles.
Mrs. Loken, who was Miss Ruth
Adelaide Phillips, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Erwin Phillips of Los
Angeles, and Gilbert Loken, son of
Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert Loken of Oak
land, eloped and were married at
Burlingame, September 10, 1923. They
had met while attending the Uni
versity of California, where both
were prominent in student affairs.
Mrs. Loken is a member of the
Alpha Chi Omega sorority and Lo
ken belongs to the Beta Theta Pi
fraternity.
After the elopement Mrs. Lo
ken’s petition sets forth, her hus
band found he loved another, be
came abusive to her and finally
sent her a letter saying, “I have
been trying -to make myself love
you, but 1 cannot and never will
be able to.
The letter also said Loken had
tried to put his wife “before some
one else who means the world to
will more than make good. Few'
newspaper men receive the emolu
ments of office, despite the years
they spend in electing others to re
sponsible positions and lucrative pay
rolls.
POOR OLD EMMA
Emma Goldman, the noted anarch
ist, who at her own request was ban
ished to Russia following the war,
says that the Russian system of gov
ment is a travesty, and that it is
rotten with graft and oppression. Em
ma, however, notifies the.-United
States that she will not return to
America except upon her own terms.
Emma undoubtedly is booked for a
lengthy stay in Europe.
