THE “ARCADIAN” BILL
The Swanson bill calling for the posting of delin
quent tax notices instead of having them publisned in
the newspapers should go down as Alaska s Aicadian
Tha^ it reached the third reading in the Senate indi
cates that Mr. Swanson is not alone in his desire to re
vert to the age of the town cryer, ringing a hell and halt
ing at each corner to have the news of the day shouted.
But the gentleman is not original in his idea. It was
recently demonstrated by passing notice of an election on
the postoffice door. The door was mutilated because theie
were no hitching posts or high boaiVl fences offering
room where themultitude, eager for news, could gather
on a stormy day while the front rank told them what it
was all about. . ..
The sum total of the results of this misguided policy
will be that many towns nowT boasting daily newspapers
equal to cities of quadruple their demensions, will revert
to the weekly. . .
It were ever thus. When someone wishes their indi
vidual interests advanced they turn to the. newspaper.
But when it comes to giving natural support it is another
matter.
A NOVEL RACE
Steaming north is the SS Alaska, haying among her
cargo the first legalized beer to be admitted to Alaska
follow ing the passage of the beer bill by Congress.
Steaming around Juneau are the members of the
Legislature trying to get a bill passed regulating the dis
pensing of the amber liquid before the Alaska pokes her
nose to the dock. If they fail to get the thing over, there;
is going to be tragedy in the capital.
It is reported that the recent appropriation for “cus
pidors” turns out to be “growders” for each member’s
desk.

Now one begins to understand what the Governor of

GOING HIGHBROW
A nEastern professor claims that another 25 years
will see all adults of the nation possessed of a college ed
ucation. Hence we may expect to hear the future dog
musher address his pooches thus:
“I lack the gall to make oppression bitter, or ere
this I w'ould have fatted all the region kites with this
slave’s offal.”
Or a sourdough ejaculating:
“Well! Horatio, or do I forget myself,” and receiving
the response: “The same melord, and your poor servant
ever!”
Which, when asked how his crops are coming along,
Si Perkins can toss this over a rail-fence:
“Ah, ’tis an umveeded garden and things stale and
musty possess it ever.”
‘Tis said “nwic is good for the soul.” But that was
before the crconirg, jazz radio age.

LEGISLATURE HI
MILS TO SURRENDER
POWER TO FEDER5LS
In commenting upon the propos
posed provision relative to the is
suance of licenses for the sale of
non-intoxicating beer, lager, ale,
porter and wines to District judges,
L. V. Itay, Seward attorney, stated
today that, he was astonished to
learn that the Democrats who
went into office upon the platform
of a full territortial form of gov
ernment, seem to repeatedly hand
over territorial powers and duties
to Federal appointive officers, y
I Mr. Ray further stated the ad
; ministrative duties of . District
i judges are now onerous and that
I the judicial duties of such officers
should not be further involved
with additional administrative af
fairs.
“It is beyond my comprehension,” i
said Mr. Ray, “to attempt to fig
! ure out the reason for these con
1 tinued, frequent and an almost
! wholesale surrender, by local leg
j islatures, of powers delegated by
Congress to the people of the Ter-1
ritory. Surely we have gone beyond I
! the kindergarten period and doj
; not need the further parental j
guidance of Federal appointives.” :

OE TURNED BACK IN
SEWARD ON SUNDAY
On Sunday afternoon, April 16—
Easter Day—at the Liberty Thea
tre, the centuries will turn back
ward, the gates of the past be un
locked and one shall see a pag
eant of the Resurrection.
One will stand outside the gate
of Jerusalem with the sepulcher
of Jesus near by and shall watch
those of old time, pass back and
forth. The spectator shall see John
and Peter and Thomas and the
other disciples. They will behold
the faithful women go sorrowful
ly to the tomb to anoint the Be
I loved Body. They shall see the
j Centurian of Calvary, of whom
| early Christian tradition says that
I his name was Longuius and that
i he became a Christian Bishop and
i a martyr for the faith. The spec
i tator shall tarry for a while with
j the glad, sweet children of Jerusa
lem who sang their “Hosanna to
the Son' of David.”
j The costumes are historically
! correct and the whole is a beauti
j ful portrayal of scenes that have
! profoundly changed the currents
i of the histories of nations.
How better could one spend an
hour and a half of an Easter Day
i than in watching this pageant.
