lhc long delayed report of the Fed
eral Trade Commission's investign
tion of he high cost of gasoline will

not been entirely dissolved despite the!
Supreme Court’s decree, and that this
condition is a big factor in the in-;
creased price, because of their con- i

pass laws for the regulation of schools
in Alaska.
The bill provides for the govern

which are maintained by the govern-:
ment, by a general board of educa-;
tion consisting of the governor, terri- j
torial treasurer and an assistant su

be appointed by the Governor, with i
special regard to his merits. The ap-,
pointed official shall hold office until
the regular delegate election is held'
in 1918, at which time an assistant;
superintendent to take his place shall j
be elected. The salary of this official
ia fixed nt $3,000 per year. The bill:
provides that 26 per cent of all money'
now in the Territorial treasury and j
which may hereafter come in, shall;
be set aside for the maintenance of
he uniform schools and shall be ex
