(Juneau Empire)
The Seward Gateway, usually well-informed on all Territorial sub
jects and sound in its discussions on most of them, finds a bogeyman
in the Norris Bill to consolidate the Department of Justice agencies of
the Second and Fourth Divisions. Commenting on this measure the
Seward paper said:
To adopt the plan suggested, would, in its practicable
application, mean only one thing, that the headquarters
would be at Juneau- Litigants and their attorneys would
be compelled to make pilgrimage to Juneau. Even now,
••the tail wags the dog," but, after Senator Norris’s plan
went into effect, there would be but little left of Alaska
other than the “tail.”
The Gateway is worried about something that couldn't possibly
1' noon unde: Sen. tor Norris s oiil. If it- should become a law, the
boundaries of the Second and Fourth Divisions would remain as at pres
ent What is pr :pased is to have one United States District Judge
and one United States Marshal for both of them. The terms of the
encumbents in office when the bill becomes law. if it does, would ex
pire on June 30, 1932, and after that- only one would be appointed for
each of the two offices involved.
But district court headquarters would remain unchanged. Nome
would be headquarters for the Second Division, and Fairbanks for the
Fourth as is now the case. The officers and their assistants would
reside in either town they preferred and would probably be guided
in that by the convenience in transacting official business.
The Empire is not arguing that the consolidation is proper, and
does not advocate such a step. It is merely calling attention to the
Gateway’s mistake so that the record will be kept straight. Its intima
tion that Juneau would like to “grab” off the “pie” is too preposterous
to need discussing.
POLITICAL TALK
Alaska, normally Republican,
probably will remain in the fold '
this year, declare Alaskans in Seat
tle, according to an article in a re
cent Sunday edition of the Seattle
Times. Republican leaders in Alas
ka recognize, however, that the
Democratic threat is more potent
this year, and are preparing to en
ter the political primaries in the
spring and the general election i
next fall with well-organized fore- j
es ,their candidates “handpicked” ;
and the platform clearly defined, j
The failure of the primary system !
to provide the best timber for pub- j
lie offices is admitted by both the '
Democrats and Republicans.
Mrs. John Alex, native of Alaska, j
1 died at Anchorage last week, ac- J
cording to the Times. Mrs. Alex:
had been ill for a long time; she is 1
survived by three small children.

MORE SMOKE
An increase in the volume of j
smoke which bellows forth from
Mount Shishaldin, on Unimak Is- J
land, was reported last night. The i
report did not say whether the
flames which for a ^vhile leaped to !
a height of 1500 feet were still ob- !
servable- Residents, who are living I
in close proximity have expressed
worry that the mountain might
soon burst forth in new and serious
eruption.
