VOTERS MIT IE AGE
AND USE MAIDEN NAME
JACKSON, Miss., April 1. (/P)—An
ancient feminine privilege lias be
come a modern feminine right, for
Mississippi says her women voters
may maintain secrecy concerning
their age.
The attorney general gave his
opinion that a statement of being
“21 plus” was sufficient. Married
women may use either their own or
the names of their husbands in reg
istering, the prefix “Mrs.” being re
quired in case of the former. An un
usually large number of women has
registered for the democratic state
primary in August.

LOOKING AHEAD
Alaskan progress of the past forecasts the future greatness of
the Northland, and justifies all Alaskans in holding to their firm
faith in the Territory’s possibilities and worth. By aiming high and
working together—actively and steadily—those having to do with Al
askan progress can accomplish much. “Looking Ahead" to still great
er things, and planning and working accordingly, is the one way that
a high purpose can be reai;zed.
The Alaska Railroad—a pioneer system—is gradually and pain
stakingly striding towards a great goal—the greater development of
Alaska; and that the future is bright and promising is attested by
the steady and consistent upward trend of past and present activi
ties. The Alaska Railroad is “Looking Ahead.”

ALASKA LEGISLATURE
(Continued from Page 2)
ly no check on the proposed commis
sion in the matter of expenditure of
Territorial funds and it could obli
gate and expend money in vast sums
if it were so inclined. An amend
ment to correct this evil was adopted
being offered by Mr. Paul. It limit
ed the commission to the diversion
of funds to purposes other than those
specified by the Legislature from
time to time.
Lomen Offers Change
This out of the way Mr. Lomen
then proposed an amendment to in
sure equal representation of every
Division on the Commission. He
proposed it should be composed of
five members, one to be elected
from each judicial Division and the
fifth to be the Governor.
i >
Mr. Smith objected that such a
commission would be cumbersome;
that the Territory should follow' the
practice of large corporations, get
the best men it could and pay them
commensurately. If such a plan
could be worked out, declared Mr.
Lomen, lie would withdraw his
amendment. He would favor the
employment by the Territory of a
single- trained and experienced man
at a salary that would make it pos
sible to get a qualified executive who
could produce results. In its present
shape, he asserted, the bill was pol
itical, and he insisted that it was
.he right of .the Second Division to
have representation on such a body.
