SI LZEK'S CAREEESSNESS.
It beats all how some men cannot l»e satisfied unless
they are in trouble. The., appear to have a craving for
trouble. And seemingly Delegate Sulzer is one of that
sort. In yesterday’s mail, ne received copies of various
bills the Delegate introduced in Congress in the interest
of Alaska. Now ' <m watch the operation that will fol
low. Short of murder, he will he accused of all kinds of
crimes. From robbing the poor to favoring the rich.
Unmindful of the consequence, the Delegate went right
ahead and introduced more Dills, which to his mind are for
our own benefit. Among the hills introduced, is one to
regulate the fishing industry in Alaska. By far the most
important measure, so far as Southeastern and Western
Alaska is concerned.
The measure as introduced by the Delegate is accom
panied by a letter containing the request for its publica
tion and inviting criticism. In view of the importance of
the bill, the request for its publication shall be complied
with. Commencing with today a portion of it shall ap
pear every day until the entire bill has been published.
Later, comments—if any—provided the commentators
confine themselves to the cussing vital points, shall also be
published, if so desired.
Since Alaska’s fishing industry became known there
has been many bills introduced to regulate it but the bills
were no sooner introduced than charge of favoritism, mo
nopoly and what not were made, resulting in much trouble
for all concerned. Hence on deduction that Delegate Sul
zer must like trouble since he has introduced another. Be
that as it may. we believe it to be our duty to help the Dele
gate in this matter by advising him without tearing him to
pieces because his ideas do not agree with ours. At the
outset, let us make up our minds that we cannot have it all
our own way; that we must not only take but give also;
and with this firm resolution, we can meet on common
ground and settle the question in a manner that we can all
derive some benefit from the industry.—(Ketchikan Pro
ressive-Miner.)

Income Tax Dilemma
SULZER, ALASKA’S BEST DELEGATE
From everyone who has had anything to do with the
new Delegate to Congress comes the very best word for
iiis attention to business and his uniform courtesy in hand
ling any matter relative to Alaska that has l>een brought
to his attention.
It makes no difference what the political complexion
of the writer may be, every letter to Mr. Sulzer is prompt
ly answered and the matter inquired for given the stictest
%/
attention.
Mr. Sulzer has been the best Delegate that Alaska has
ever had, and all of his friends and a good percentage of
those who voted against him last fall are sincerely wishing
that he will continue on at Washington and give the Terri
torv the kind of service it needs.—(Anchorage Democrat.)
%>
Seldovia is going to boom this year as well as other
sections on Cook Inlet and Seward should take a lively
interest in affairs and do something to get closer to the
people almost at our doors. Anchorage is going after the
business and Seward should go after it and get it.

! (Jen. Pershing, coni inlander of the ex

that 15 regiments of cavalry be tcm

War Department endorses Pershing’s

The sudden changes which the var
