WHY THE SUMMER COAST PATROL
What we never could understand is why the coast
guard cutters tie up in Southern waters during the Alas
kan winter season when their need along the Territory's
coast line is a matter of life and death. Is the Pribilof
seal herd of more value to the government than the lives
of the vikings and adventurers who are carving out Alas
ka's history on land and sea?
Let the Bering sea patrol be stationed along the coast
line during the winter, when the elements are such as we
have recently passed through are at their worst.
MY, SUCH TERRIBLE CONDITION!
How is it with the alleged terrible administration of
the present Territorial laws that these Alaskans who go
Outside to remain forevermore, are so anxious to get back
into the country again. And Steel, and Wick, and Paul
and Dani wrant to shuffle the deal!
America imported 54,000 parrots last year. Maybe
some of them will be sent to Juneau to help certain Sena
tors parrot that old bromide about the pi'ess being owned
and controlled by “the interests."
Two Southeastern Alaska fishermen are engaged in
a debate on the question of manufacturing small herring
into oil, fertilizer, etfc. This exchange of personal experi
ences promises to supply valuable information for the
guidance of the Fisheries Bureau as well as the general
A Prince Rupert halibut fisherman proposes to revo
lutionize the industry by seining the fish, and has a vessel
equipped for that purpose with coiling and reeling de
rices instead of the conventional gurdy, etc.
public.
Seattle commercial travelers complain of being desig
nated as “salesmen," and desire a more dignified title.
Which causes Mike O’Toole to designate his dinner bucket
as a “vituallier."
Seattle business men are contemplating making an
other junket to Alaska this summer to work up trade. If
they will bring along their bankrolls and invest a little
the trade will grow naturally.
The Game Commission is making a request for live
goats. The Alaskan Legislature ought to be able to sup
ply at least four already branded with the irons of the
Comptroller bill.
Yes, the press is controlled by interests—the interests
represented by its advertisers and readers, which, when
you come to think about it, is very good company and
a control worth fighting for.
It's all right to limit the girls to one drink a day, sc
that they may retain their youthful, figure and charm, but
who gets the rest of 'em ? •
Be in style; get yourself a good dose of flu and take a
few days vacation. Whiskey, as a tonic, is excellent, sc
they say.

won’t come back.Threais are no good.
That is a good way to get my sup
port—but in the wrong way! I am
willing to meet them in my own dis
trict on that issue. Let them come!”
he declared.
Then turning to his proposal, he
pointed out that the Attorney Gen
eral is elected as general counselor
for the people of Alaska, as an ad
viser to the officers of the Territory.
Now they come along with a proposi
tion to make him also a judicial of
ficer and an administrative executive;
to give him three jobs instead of one.
The powers proposed for Attorney
General under the measure, he assert
ed, could be exercised properly “only
by a Mussolini, and only a Mussolini
would want to try to use them.”
Abruptly he cut short his argument
with the statement that the time was
not come when he would take the floor
and discuss the proposition in detail.
‘‘I shall have something to say when
it comes up for final action,” he said.
Adopt Jensen Amendment
Senator Jensen offered an amend
ment prohibiting any member of the
present Legislature from holding any
office named in the bill, or any sub
dinate position under it, for a period
or two years. "Make it ten years j
and and I’ll support you,” said Sen- j
ator Dunn. Finally they agreed on a
compromise of five years. In this
form it was adopted with one or two
supporters of the measure in opposi
tion. ,,rT
While a great many amendments
wrere adopted, not all of those offered
by Senator Steel for the committee
were approved. As was done regard
ing the qualifications of the amend
ment. He pointed out that it was pro
| posed to increase largely the duties
of the Attorney General and that he
w'ould have at least as much if not
more work to perform than the Comp
troller who would draw a salary of
$6,000 annually. He said he had talk
ed this matter over with the Attorney
«
General and was satisfied he would
have no objection to the increase in
i
pay.
"Did the Attorney General say that
the salary should be made $6,000 in
stead of $5,000?” Senator Dunn want
ed to know. "That is an unfair ques- j
tion and to answer it might preju-1
dice his cause before the Senate,” j
smilingly replied Senator Jensen. And !
