MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
THE COMPTROLLER BILL
The Gateway, Anchorage Times and Juneau Empire
have expressed the views of their readers on the Comp
troller bill, and) it is reasonable to believe that the remain
der of the press of the Territory endorse their views if
unable to express them as openly. Therefore the oppo
sition to the measure appears general and is based upon
purely constitutional and economic grounds. Such a
law, insteading of granting Territorial autonomy or
greater freedom of action would merely serve to saddle
the Territory with a large number of unnecessary offices
and entail an additional civic list of more than $100,000
annually, not to mention the creating of a bureau more
inelastic than those of the Federal government.
The sponsors of the measure surely must know that
nothing short of securing an amendment to the organic
act could accomplish the ends sought.
Now that Congress has adjourned the nation is safe
until December.
There is such a thing as carrying a slogan too far:
A New York artist’s wife took too literally a marble
works sign which said: “Say it with a tombstone.”
When a Chinaman wishes a name, he selects “Sun”
and puts something after it which sounds like a scaven
ger’s wagon dumping tin cans and old iron.
