MORE PLACEMAKING
As pointed out by the Juneau Empire, the emasculat
ed Controller bill, traveling under an alias as flimsy and
“John Doe,” still occupies the attention of the Senate, with
its sponsors endeavoring to delude their constituents into
the belief that it would accord a greater measure of home
rale.
A previous session of the Legislature turned down
the bill, not because of its imperfection of structure, but
because of its principle. When this occurs in the average
Legislature it usually sounds the death-knell of such leg
islation. Not so with those who apparently interpret Ter
ritorial legislation in terms of placemaking. It will be
noted that in a majority of instances, the bills introduced
carry with them a plan to increase the appointive or elec
tive power of the Territory, but nothing directed to secur
ing from the Federal Government greater breadth of
power or action. Until the sponsors of the controller bill
can present evidence proving that it will give such power
or permit such action it justifies the classification of a
mere thirst for greater placemaking powers and a desire
to increase the burdens of the taxpayers.
Alaska has too many on the political payroll, both
federal and Territorial. It is about time a revision down
ward began. There is a way to secure this, but the Leg
islature appears not to see it or does not care to see it.
The organic act is the instrument through which Ter
ritorial freedom mr.v be secured. and until it is amended
all talk of home rule is but political hokum.
In the interest of peace t^e United Spates decided to
send 10,000 rifles and 10,000.000 rounds of ammunition to
Mexico. This ought to bring peace with the manufac
hirers of munitions.
Trouble seldom comes singly because it generally
takes two to make it.
It must be said for Chicago gangsters that they are
doing more to eliminate Chicago gangsters than anyone
else.

CHARLES RAY
"THE COUNT OF TEN”
One of those stories about the squared ring that
always appeal and make you hold your breath.
This is the tale of an “easy” young fellow who
could not shake a lot of hangerons from taking
all the money he earned. Many good scenes of
boxing and an interesting story.
In the supporting cast are
JAMES GLEASON
the playwright who is seen for the first time in
this picture; also
JOBYNA ROLSTON — EDYTHE CHAPMAN
The plot is laid in Chicago*, and has no country
jake characteristics. One of Ray’s latest and
best nlavs. We will show a
