ALASKA'S SLIM BUDGET
A total of $952,750 comprises Alaska’s share of ap
propriations asked by the Department of the Interior
of Congress. The entire budget of this department is
$43,192,000.
Of the Alaska items, roads and trails lead with
$469,300; the Alaska Railroad is second with $250,000;
care of the insane calls for $161,000; $32,400 for rein
deer and $11,370 for suppression of the liquor traffic
among the Indians.
The amount asked by the Forestry Bureau will not
be known until the Agricultural department supply es
timates are submitted.
However, the forewarning that Alaska’s share will
l>e pared to the bone necessitates a complete readjust
ment by many who have looked forward to public works
as a means of revenue.
There is much time between now and the opening of
summer activities. This time could be put to no better
purpose than consideration of ways and means for meet
ing the new conditions.
Those who have relied upon road work in the past,
have a chance to even better conditions by joining up in
some placer work. There are a number of holders of
ground who do not have thecapital to hire labor. The
manner in which this situation was met in the earliest
days was for men to work on “bedrock”—share the out
put on the cleanup.
No better way could be employed in rejuvenating
large areas of placer nearby, especially in Moose Pass,
areas adjacent to this city, while the bars of the Kenai
nver can be made to yield a living if not more.
A concerted movement looking to bring lode mines
to the attention of investors, if shaped and prepared in
advance of the coming of spring would result in possi
bly a larger lumber of men having lucrative employ
ment than under the uncertainty of public works.
KICK THE PULPIT OUT OF POLITICS
A most glaring instance of the unbridled bigotry
and insolence of a bevj of preachers (the term is well
chosen as against .ministers of God) came to light last
week when Rev. Din waddle made himself a nuisance in
Congress in demanding that the question of repeal of
the Eighteenth amendment be submitted to the Legisla
tures of the states instead of state conventions.
Here are tne respective planks in the platforms of
the Democratic and Republican parties in the recent
election:
Democrats- -“1 o effect such repeal, we demand that
the Congress immediately propose a constitutional
amendment to truly representative conventions in the
states called to act solely on that proposal.”
Republicans—“Promptly submitted to the states by
Congress, to be acted upon by state conventions called
for that purpose, and adequately safeguarded so as to
be truly representative.”
Here both parties used the word “Convention,” yet
we have a representative of the Prohibition party with
out any legal or courtesy right in Congress, demanding
that both representative political parties betray voters.
It appears about time for a showdown between reli
gion and politics. Since the religious hierarchies have re
fused to repudiate their politcal traducers the people
have about completed repudiation of religion.
And yet wo have these montebanks trailing a sacred
cause in the dust and leaving a wake of crime, lack
morals and depravity.
there is more than the question of liquor involved
in prohibition. It is the greatest blow yet delivered to
what was a well-ordered civilization.
A woman was “taken for a ride” in Juneau. It ap
pears about time to take inventory of the hardware
stores and be assured that there is plenty of strong rope
handy before the Chicago idea reaches Seward.
The first love sonnets were accompanied by the ly
ore. Same today, but its spelt different.
Some people believe that because a paper carries a
large amount of advertising, its a fine newspaper.
Maine has a law that all lawyers must be “men of
good character and honest practice!”
The only interest we have in France’s demand of
collective consideration of her war debt is collective.

ONE MEMBER OF THE |
COUNCIL SAYS HE TURNS
OUT LIGHT, COES SLEEP
“When the radio is too bad I
turn it off and go to bed,” said
one member of the city council
at last night’s meeting when the!
subject of radio interference was,
for the ’teenth time, was put be
fore that august body by Mayor D
C. Brownell.
Exception is taken to the coun
cilman’s remedy because there are
a few other citizens who do not
care 1o retire early.
The Mayor has long sought for
some remedy for the many an
noying interruptions to radio pro
grams, but the council refused to
take the matter seriously and ob
jected to the trial of any relief
measure.
, “I believe that nine-tenths of
the trouble would immediately
disappear if the matter were brot
plainly to public attention by
some action similar to that pur
sued by other cities,” the Mayor
informed The Gateway today. “Ac
tion that would hurt no one would
increase the pleasure of a great
many.”
“As the matter stands now
probably as few as a half-dozen
sources of interference are caus
ing many a grey-hair and irrita
ble tempers of 50 or 75 radio own
j ers in town. I do not believe any
i one mean enough to deliberately
j and unnecessarily deprive his
i neighbor of the pleasure of good
1 radio reception and am sure
I everyone would willingly help to
clear the air of interference for a
few hours a day if some action
were taken to definitely and
strongly call it to their attention,”

the Mayor stated.
“Let’s turn out the light and go
to sleep,” it was suggested, and
the meeting adjourned.
