The case was heard before Judge Alexander in the Federal District Court here last August on demur- rer. Judge Alexander upheld the law. The Appellate Court’s deci- sion affirmed his The case was vrought here in May, 1933, by Wood Freeman, Pre- sident of the Trollers’ Association. It attacked the legality of the law passed by the 1933 Alaska Legisla- ture imposing a tax of 325 on all non-resident fishermen. The de- ¥ cision of the Appellate Court said to mean about $75,000 to the territory. This is the third time the non- resident fishermen's license 3 law has been before the Court of 3 Appeals. In 1931, the Legislature ; imposed @ $250 tax on non-resi- dents. Freeman attacked that statute. On demurrer, the trial court sustained it but its, decision was reversed by the Appellate Court. On trial of the issues here, the then Federal Judge, Justin N. Harding, again sustained the stat- ute. A second appeal was taken and the Appellate Court again re- versed him and ordered a verdict entered for Freeman. The last Legislature fixed the fee to $25 and made it applicable to all classes of non-resident fish- ermen. It is not known here whether the case will be taken to the Supreme Court. - Hollywood Rites Aro Held for Former Star of Screen, Lew Cody HOLLYWOOD, Cal, June 4.
