WIU >RjVUE, ALASKA. SATURDAY, MARCH HI. 1!»17.
A PLETHORA OF BILLS.
Mail advices from Juneau toll us that a plethora of hills
have been introduced in the Alaska legislative assembly, by
ambitious solons desiring to make names for themselves in
legislative halls. The governor ot Alaska, with the wisdom
gained by more extended experience than most members of
the legislature, pointed out, in his annual message, that the
legislature would do well it it passed fewer, but better, laws
than previous legislatures. And we find ourselves in agree
ment with our worthy governor.
In our opinion, the important thing before the Alaska leg
islative assembly at this session is the matter of the public
-ehools of this territory. Above all other considerations this
should come foremost, because the prime need of every oom
munitv. of every settlement, is a good school or schools, as the
ease may be. The average family may not be able to endow
their children with money or with tin* luxuries of life, and it
is not necessary that they are thus endowed. But every Amer
ican child should have a good, common school education. And
a nation that does not make due provision along this line is
derelict in its duty to the people. So with Alaska. With tin*
passage of the prohibition law. school funds heretofore, and
now used, will not be available. It is unnecessary to discuss
Ihe wisdom of the prohibition law, that automatically cuts off
a considerable school fund. Suttice it to say, that Alaskans
voted in favor of prohibition, and they are to get what they
voted for. Now we must make the best of the situation as it
is. There are adequate funds in the territorial treasury for
a good system of schools throughout the territory. Before any
appropriations are made for any other purpose, let the terri
torial legislature provide for these schools. That is the plain
duty of these legislators. And after the schools of the whole
territory are provided for. let roads and trails come in for due
consideration.
If there are any funds left over, after the schools and roads
and trails* have been given due consideration, it will be well
enough to talk of other appropriation matters.
THE COURT HEADQUARTERS.
,, t- •-- *r ■' ■
We take it that a question of sentiment should not govern
wit I) respect to the maintenance of a government institution at
a given place when the needs and wishes of a majority of the
people would suggest that it lit* established at a more conveni
ent point. Public convenience is the thing to be considered,
above all else, .lust because some town has been the judicial
headquarters for a considerable length of time, presents no
iogical reason why it should continue in this capacity, when
changing conditions warrant a removal to a more populous
eommunitv. We could employ this lint* <>l argument in the con
troversy—originating in \ aide/, and chiefly agitated by that
^community- -with respect to the removal of tin* court head
quarters from that town to Anchorage. The columns of the
Valdez newspaper are tilled with resolutions, petitions and
prayers, in a hysterical effort to keep the court officials there,
when, so far as we have been able to ascertain, no other com
munity in the district is seeking their removal elsewhere. It
seems to be a ease of being frightened tit a shadow.
It would seem that The Times, which assumes to be and in
fact is. a live, wideawake newspaper, would have some knowl
edge of the matter, if then* were a campaign of consequence
looking toward the removal of the court headquarters from
Valdez to Anchorage. It is true that under the head of wind
might In* termed new business, The Times has been urging the
creation of a new judical division, with Anchorage as the
court headquarters. Why should Valdez object to such a plan !
Why, indeed, does not that community aid in such an endeavor,
io forestall any future move that might be made looking to the
removal of the court headquarters from Valdez to this town .'
Self-preservation would suggest that this policy be adopted by
Valdez.
