WILL ALASKA REPEAT?
It is known that any full Alaska program, embody
ing the things Alaska has pleaded for during the past 10
years, will not reach Congress until the December ses
sion, owing to the clogging of the machinery of govern
ment by the major problems of the parent nation.
It is also understood from impeccable authority that!
before any general policy is formulated by the new ad-;
ministration an investigation of Alaska will be made by:
those into whose hands fall the labor of formulating and j
putting a policy into effect. # !
It will be recalled with bitterness, much of which j
eructs from day to day as a reminder, tnat the Howell j
investigation, taking the complexion of a kangaroo!
court, was made possible because Alaska was caught un-1
prepared to meet what was forthcoming.
Efforts by those who understood the significance
and oftimes inadequacy of Senatorial investigations, to
get Alaska’s case prepared in advance for presentation,i
were scoffed doun. Those who represented the case were j
divided into two groups, one bent upon presenting the
case in a comprehensive manner, and others who had;
nothing more than rainbow visions and no concrete idea
on anything in particular.
It was thought that a few Chamber of Commerce j
banquets, a little romantic history and what Senatoi
Howell himself described as “much irrelevant talk and
few* facts,” would suffice. How well it sufficed may be
observed by what followed. .
Any investigating committee has . tne option ot,
yielding to popmar public opinion, if it is sound, and on,
the contrary to use its own discretion as to what it will
recommend. . . .
Until organization and presentation of the lull pio-,
gram of what is wanted and expected, there can be no j
clarifying of the Alaskan situation. The Delegate to Con- j
gress cannot hope to present the case because he has
nothing more than his own opinions to go on. In many j
instances the suggestions offered are at variance with a
general policy and purely selfish on theii fa.ee.
^ No administration may give the people what they j
require unless it knows what they wish.

In other words, England tells Soviet Russia: “We’ll
soak our owm shot in brine and you keep youi caviai.
The newest paradox: The Reds recommend sabot
age as a potent weapon and imprison those accused of
practicing it in Soviet Russia.
Will Rogers says the Republicans are dumb. Not
enough left to make a noise.
With 16-year olds leading the nation’s crime parade,
it appears about time for the Rooseveltan reforestation
program to include a bundle of birches for each Ameri
can home and schoolhouse.
Shaw says his visit to America was a disappointment.
Well, the pickings are not what they used to be for Eur
upean hooey-hounds.

Instead of “passing the buck” it is now “passing the
bock.”

Wlhat do you think of the pre
sent session of the Alaska legis
lature and the killing of the com
munity property law? I heard
from people down in Juneau who
said that if you had been there
things would have been different.
I will quote from a letter from
Juneau; “Taylor was one of the
moving forces in the work that
caused its defeat (community
property law). Hofman seconded
the motion for indefinite postpone
ment. Hofman says the Seward
women were against the measure.
I told him he had a lot of con
stituents elsewhere in the Third
Division who might have a few
votes to cast at the next election.
The Democrats had the whole
hearted support of the communi
ty law as one of the main planks
in their platform and as soon as
they get to Juneau they repudiate
all of their campaign promises by
working against everything that
is good.
You are &bout the only wide
awake and reputable newspaper
man in Alaska and the majority
of Alaskans are beginning to real
ize this more fully each day. I
would appreciate very much if
you would comment on the way
the community, property law hasj
been handled by the eDmocrats in!
Juneau at this session.
The present session is surely a!
back-number when it comes to |
legislating the beer question. The
state legislatures took care of1
this matter at once and got the!
new revenues pouring into their j
state coffers immediately on April!
7, and all we have down there in
Juneau is a bunch of men who,
try to pass the buck. A Juneau re
porter told me that this was the1
dumbest legislature that they had
ever seen.
I am sure the Seward women
did not ask Hofman to vote J
against litis measure. There must!
be a misundrstanding some place.1
Don’t you think so?

tons of shrimp meat south on the
last trip of the Northwestern.
It is predicted that Canada’s!
gold production will soon reach;
$100,000,000 annually. To make
this possible, more than 300 pros- |
pectors trooped out of Chapleau ;
Central Ontario, last summer.
The University of Florida is of-1
fering a course in practical naviga- :
tion during the current semester. !
Fifty cases of three and twTo ar- !
rived on the SS Yukon for An-j
chorage and a similar amount of j
cases for Fairbanks.
Sourdough Bill: If the Legisla
ture keeps on adding to the beer
bill it’ll look like the bar bill hand
ed out by the barkeep on payday.
