AFTERMATH OF MAL-LEGISLATION
Whatever might be the merits in the conflict between
Auditor Cash Cole, the Governor and Treasurer Smith re
specting the payment of warrants drawn upon the Treas
ury, which Treasurer Smith refuses to sign, the fact
stands out glaringly that powers given to the Territory
under the Board of Control were returned to the Gover
nor by the last Legislature.
A perusal of the schedule of appropriations, both for
fixed charges and new undertakings, shows that of a total j
of $2,113,539.71, the Governor was given either direction I
or approval of $1,947,339.71, or 82.8 per cent, leaving the j
Board of Control only $163,200 subject to Legislative and!
Board direction independent of the Governor's control.
Time and again laws have been enacted giving the I
Legislature its proper powers under the Organic Act only
to have them returned to Federal hands.
In the absence of evidence to the contrary, it would
appear that as yet we have not been able to choose a Leg
islature capable of performing the duties imposed upon
it, and these bodies have shirked their responsibilities by
shoving everything over onto the executive, or Federal
government Either that or, as has been repeatedly point
ed out, men who have accepted honors at the hands of the
people have sold them out for personal gain.
Herein lies a problem as it relates to questions of
government, Territorially or Nationally. Is it a matter
of a general moral breakdown in which the public hai
scrapped its honor by choosing men minus that quality,
or is the fault reposed in those who, thus chosen, have
proved unworthy of their trust?
In either case, it would appear about time to take in
ventory and fix the blame where it belongs, then set the
house in order.
In his farewell address, Washington warned against
what is happening today throughout the nation. Lethargy
(on the part of the people has allowed their rights and
powers to slip into the hands of unworthy men, who have
employed them for their individual aggrandisement.
In the forthcoming election the people have an oppor
tunity to begin, if not actually accomplish, a return of
their rights. No man should be sent to Juneau who can
not submit proofs that he is capable of his labors, and
whose loyalty is to the people first and last.
If a modern youth got on his knees to propose where
would the girl sit?
A Chicago University professor boasts 47 religions.
Nothing like playing the field.

HfDlULIC MACHINERY
BE PURCHASED IN THE
! STATES BY M. KAST
i _
Enroute to the States where he
will purchase approximately $20,000
worth of hydraulic machinery, in
cluding two rams capable of lifting
sufficient water over a hill for the
operation of from two to three hy
draulic giants, Munroe Kast, one of
the real dyed-in-the-wool placer
mine pioneers of the Cache Creek
district, is a guest at the Overland
Hotel.
The scene of the Kast develop
ment is on Poorman Creek, a trib
utary to Peters Creek, where he has
operated by hand methods for
many years, extracting sufficient
gold to educate a family and keep
himself going.
At the age of 79 years, Munroe
Kast has the mental vigor and
courage of a man of 45. He is one
of the few of the old-line argonuats
who have spurned laboring for
others but who have wrested their
substance from the ground.
For years he has been handicap
ped for want of sufficient water.
It was only last fall that he sue- j
ceeded in securing sufficient fi-,
nance with which to carry out his;
plans for increasing his pipe heads.;
With this outfit installed, Poorman j
promises to become one of the most j
prolific producers in the consistent j
old camp from which many mil-;
lions have been extracted.
The machinery is expected to ar
rive in time to be hauled out to
Poorman on the spring crust. When
the machinery is installed it will
be possible to utilize the water on
at least three giants, with suffi
cient force to move large areas of
gravel.
Clarke D. Andresen will head the
Seward Masonic Lodge No. 219, F.
& A. M., during the year of 1932
and was duly installed at Mon
day’s installation of officers of ^hat

gal, junior deacon; John Salit, sen
ior steward; P. C. McMullen, mar
shal; C. T. Hatten, chaplain; O. A.
Johansen, tyler.
Following the installation of of
ficers, a social meeting wTas held at
which time a delightful luncheon
was served.
The midnight fire alarm New
Year’s Eve will be the local volun
teers and dance guests raising the
roof of Dreamland Hall.
Athletic activities of the Dream
land gymnasium have ceased for
the remainder of this year as the
Firemen have taken over the hall
and will convert it into a gala ar
ray of color for the New Year’s Eve
big dance event.
