THE TAIL WAGS THE DOG
An examination of the geographical aspect of the Third Divsior
shows three distinct sections, which for the purpose of argument, w<
will designate as No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3.
Section No. 1 comprises the Copper River country and tire coasts
precincts as far west as La touche and, according to the report of the
election of November 1930, cast 383 votes.
Section No. 2 takes in Seward and the lower Cook Inlc-t precincts
the railroad precincts to the Summit at Moose Pass, and the precinct'
to the Westward, all tributary to Seward, and these cast 1.074 votes.
Section. No. 3 contains Anchorage, all railroad precincts from Tun
nel and the upper Cook Inlet precincts; these cast 995 votes.
The last Territorial Legislature contained one Senator and twe
Representative from the First Section; one Representative from the
Second Section . :.d one Senator and c-ne Representative from the Third
Section.
Seward not hoggish. That is, not much! We do not want the
whole represent a Uon in the legislature but in view of the figures above,
we do insist that we are entitled to a fair share. We are not going to
stress the fact that the territory embraced in the Seward zone pays
almost half of the entire Territorial taxes!
The primary system in Alaska is a failure for the reason that
where population is concerned in one place, local citizens vote for the
home team and all of them paying but little attention to the needs of
of the rest of the Division for representation. In an attempt to remedy
this situation by advisory conventions of the political parties, each
should be willing to give and take.
Alaskan sunsets are among the most beautiful in the world; once
seen, who can ever forget the ineffably gorgeous sun downs lighting up
peaks like torches.

A VALUABLE BOOK
A book reached The Grateway office in the last mail from the De
partment of Commerce which, without a doubt, is one of the finest of
its type ever to have been compiled. The title is "The Statistical. Ab
stract of the United States, 1931” and was prepared in the Division of
Statistical Research, of which J. Frederick Dewhurst is chief, under the
general direction of Ernest A. Tupper, assistant chief of the division,
and the more immediate charge of Martha Hunter.
The volume represents a digest of data collected by all statistical
agencies of the national government, as well as those of a considerable
number of private agencies and several states.
For a newspaper office the volume is a treasure-house
At the last election The Gateway staff stood for free beer for the
poor working girl. We stick by our plank this year even though $1.00 a
bottle seems too much these lean years.
Having found the profits in Wall Street small, many of the movie
actresses are opening restaurants and bootlegging joints, while the ac
