ALASKA LEGISLATIVE
CANDIDATE APPEARS
If the god's ordain that things ko a
certain way l>etween now and election
day in November, when the next Alas*
ka legislature convenes at Juneau the
conventional aspect of that highly dis
tinguished body will be somewhat
varied by the presence of a strange
bird in the flock of “Jaw merchants,"
politicians, neur politicians, and wha*
not who turn the legislative mill and
jcop off the political rape seed every so
often. This one will be utterly unlike
the usual type of somber clad, corru
gated browed and profoundly impres
sive statesman. Maybe this strange
bird will be one of brilliant plumage,
of frills and furbelows—a veritable
peacock among crows, so to say. At
least it will »»e a strange bird insofar
as Alaska legislative assemblies arc
concerned. Of this much we arc
sure. Leastways, we have it on the
authority <>f two "reputable" South
eastern Alaska newspapers that Alyoe
K. Anderson, of Nlhilchic. in the Third
Division, has announced her candidacy
for the Territorial legislature.
The place from which she hails
suggests Bolshevism, but the lady I'
nothing like that. According to hei
candidacy announcement she is a
Democrat and her candidacy is subjed
to tin- Democratic primaries during
tic latter part of this month. Thif
proves that, despite the suggestive
name of her town, she is neither Nihi
list. or Bolshevist, or anything in th:il
lln--. If she was she wouldn't be
holding herself subject to anything lest
forcible than gunpowder. Our brand
of Democracy would be altogether foi
tame—even tlio it is largely adminis
tered in Alaska by a bunch of political
free hooters out for anything in sight.
No, Alyee is evidently unite "safe"
so prospective legislators need have nt
fear of encountering a "radical prob
lem" or a dose of dynamite. Despite
the fact tiiat she is the first woman
condidate for Alaska legislative honors
all we can learn of her antecedents i*
that she is a school teacher by occu
pation.
The newspapers don't say whethoi
she is a "Miss” or a "Mrs", young or—
er. not so young, or anything else t'aai
In any event we are glad to see her
as we believe that increased partici
pany of women in Alaska politics wil
go a long way toward bringing ahoui
a more wholesome state of affairs thar
exists at present. The political gam'
in the Territory is sadly in need of a
fumigation and we can see little hop«
of anyone applying the sulphur treat
ment unless the women take a hand.
Uega rdless of whether she is a Demo
crat. Republican,* or a New Thoughl
exponent, we are with her from atari
to finish and hope sincerely she landi
the job .

iwl. nuL.ua lAMt SESSION
A shiv from the grunting of u num
ber of tax reductions In response to
over taxation complaints from various
taxpayers and the announcement of a
title controversy centering: around tho
transfer by the city of the old Nome
Reality Co.# buildings, at the corner of
Second and Steadman avenues, to Mrs
Joseph Jourdan. Monday night's ses
sion of the city council was devoted
chiefly to routine matters. Tax reduc
tions were granted by the council on
personal taxes imposed on the Wild
Goose Mining and Trading Co.. War
ren. Clark and Warren and Chas.
Lewis. Fred M. Ayer, manager of the
\VlUI (loose Co., appeared in person
before the council and entered a strong
plea for a rebate on the amount as
sessed against his company. Mr Ayer
pointed out that the valuation placed
on the company property last year
was $200 more than In 1918 and a fur
ther increase this year was unjusti
fied. The council rebated the addi
tion;!! $200 complained of, together
"'ith the penalty and interest thereon.
The council also ordered a penalty
Clark and Warren Imposed in 1918, un
der the understanding that if the tpxes
were forthcoming, the penalties would
be rehated, but.• not the interest. A
$]iio rebate, with penalties and interest
' l’olet appeared »>efore the council
at the opening of the session and ton
doled an invitation of the Nome Cham
ber of Commerce to attend the mass
meeting held by that body Tuesday in
rcsixmse to the recent message of J L
Mcl'hersnn of the Alaska Bureau re
garding congressional investigation of
Alaska development requirements.
The invitation was itccepted by
Mayor Holt, who said the council
members who were able to attend
would be there in a laxly.
The report of the City Clerk and
City Treasurer for March were read,
and filed. The documents disclosed
a credit balance of about $5,600 in the
city strong box. The Clerk also an
nounced that since the first of April
an additional $1,535.33 had been re
ceived from the Clerk of the District
Court, making the total cash on hand
something over seventy one hundred
Councilman Maynard, chairman of
the Police Committee, reported that
his department had investigated the
recent charges of George Geamalis
that he was follow'ed and otherwise an
noyed l»y the native policemen and
had found them untrue.
Councilman Tarnutzer reported on
the recent snow cleanup on behalf of
the street Committee explaining the
number and ownership of the teams
employed and the results accomplished.
Bills against the city were read and
ordered paid .-ifter approval by the
finance committee.
Near the close of the session it de
veloped that some question has been
raised regarding the legality of the
sale of the Nome Reality Co. property
to Mrs Jourdan by the city. The
property was presumed to have been
bought in by the city under the de
linquent tax law's some time ago and
subsequently transferred to Mrs Jour
dan. The matter was referred to City
Attorney Cochran for investigation.
TERRITORIAL HEADQUARTER8
FOR LEGION
An exchange reports that the ter
ritorial headquarters of the American
Legion lias be*en removed from An
chorage to Juneau.
The change was made recently be
cause Juneau is more centrally lo
cated. and owing to the fact that
George Cletchell, who waa the only
Alaska delegate to the national con
vention held at Minneapolis on Oct.
10. was mimed national executive of
ficer for Alaska, and will have his
headquarters there.
On account of the difficulty in get
ting mail to and from Anchorage It is
thought that the change will make It
easier to speed up business matters.
Anchorage was the first city In
Alaska to organise a post of the
American Legion, and received the
first charter. It is likely that Juneau
will now remain headquarters until
* territorial convention Is held and a
place chosen. * v
Two new posts of the American Le
gion have recently been organised.
The new posts are at Wrangell and
Ketchikan, and qne Is being organ
ised at Cordovu.
