LIVE TOPICS DISCUSSED BY MEMBERS
FOR SPEAKER
 AND PRESIDENT

It is said that the failure of J. J.. Mullaly. of Fairbanks to qualify as a member of the lower House in Alas ka's first legislature, is likely to cause a deadlock over the speakership. The strained condition arises over the fact that Photographer Mercer, who had worked out group picture for the twenty-four members. finds that on account of Representative Mul. laly being absent, the group will have to be rearranged.
 It is now announced that the DOT. trait of the Speaker is to be twice the size of the other members and that it will be the center of the group, As the group is to be shown at the great Panama,Pacifc exposition the temp tation to be the central figure is too great to be overcome hence there are 22 candidates for the Speakership,
 As a matter of fact there are seven known candidates for the honor of presidency over the House These are Earnest B. Collins, the tall, hand some member from Fox, in the Fourth Division: Frank A. Aldrich, of the Second Division; Thomas Gafrney, al so of the Second Diyision C. F. Inger- soil of the First Division; Dan Dris- coll. the solid Mayor of Fairbanks, and Milo Kelly and Dr. F. NJ. Boyle, of the Second Division.
 It is a goodly array, and let it be said that all are good men, and anyone of them would lend dignity to the place. There is said to be good-na- tured rivalry for the position, and one of the aspirants said today that it was anybody's race, and it is possible that today's developments may bring some new alignments.
 For Presi mt of the Senate there are also a number of candidates as al. ready armour ae@ by The Empire. These are S,la rs Ray, of Seward, Bruuer. of Nome; sutherland, of Ruby, and perhaps Roden, of Iditarod.
 And this position may be matter

Representative Charles D. Jones, of Nome. says that he most heartily en- dorses everything that has already been said by members of the Legis- lature in reference to the transporta- tion problems.
 But railroads are not all that we need.o said Mir Jones. We must have more money with which to construct wagon roads and trails. think it remarkable that the Alaska Road Com mission has accomplished so much with the means at hand.
 We should have appropriations largely increased for this work.
 q am opposed to the present road tax It is manifestly unjust. While apparently the tax is uniform in inn nosing the same amount on each per son subject to the tax throughout the Territory, practically there is great difference.

A few days ago The Empire pub ushed an interview of Senator Ro- den's in one of the Fairbanks news papers. in which he advocated re vision of the mining laws and a schme for the raising of funds for territorial expenditures. Mir. Roden says that he has somewhat investgat- ed the problem Of taxation and real izes the difficulty of providing the machinery for the collection of any tax that might be laid on general property. He suggests the imposition of an an nual franchise tax on all corporations who do business in Alaska and who are not organized under the laws of Alaska.
 The enactment of an eight.hour law for all miners is close to Rodeu's heart lie claims to be the first ad- vocate Of such a measure in inter- for Alaska and he has worked for it ever since. When asked his reasons for the taking of such a step he said that he believes in progressive Iegis- latiou and particularly in progressive legislation that gives immediate ma terial results. He is of the opinion that men are made for something else basidss working and that they are en- titled to at least as much protection and care as is ordinarily bestowed up- on domestic animals. The Senator says that he appreciates the consti- tutional objections to a general eight hour law. affecting all Iaborers, and it is his opinion that the courts would not sustain such a measure. But for the mining industry he says he is willing 10 try it and that his efforts Co secure the enactment of such law will not cease until it is finally passed.
 NIT. Roden further advocates a lien law that will attach to the claim. He says that hundreds of thousands of dollars have been lost in wages in the Panama country, and that it is high time to protect the working men against the evil practice. He main tains that no man has a right to spec ulate upon the labor of another man and that a Iaymau or claim owner has no business to hire anybody if he has not the means to pay for the labor.
 Nr. Rodeu does not believe that the enactment of such a law will have any evil effect: on the contrary he main taius that it will prevent the letting Of lays on wholly undeveloped ground and in a careful examination of the entire situation before a claim owner will let a lay to some irresponsible who is anxious to risk the labor of others 10 enrich himself without be- ing prepared to give anything in re- turn therefore. "Ir has taken me a long time to satisfy myself that the only effective lien law is one that will directly affect with the claim but am now fully convinced that it is the only way to safeguard the laborer's wages and for one propose to secure the passage of such a law"

TEMPERANCE TIDINGS.
BY C. w. G..

At the annual convention of
the Catholic Total Abstinence
Union Of America, Archbishop
Ireland spoke upon Sobriety as
a Builder of Nations. !" The
world needs the simple truth; it
should be held up in every posi-
bic light, it should be repeated
in a thousand different forms.
In regard to a clear Drained
citizenship, the Bishop speaks
very clearly and forcibly:
. Whenever the blackened
waters Of intemperance touch
there is pollution. 1t unmans
the citizen, takes from him all
the ability needed that he may
contribute his share to the gen.
eral prosperity of the common
country, deprives him of that
calm thought which is needed in
the exercise Of his citizenship.
We hear much of the evils of
bad injudicious voting. | can
trust the American people vot-
ing and legislating in perfect
sobriety. The evils in our elect
ions are due in immense share to
intemperance. What can a man
know as to his duties of citizen
ship when his mind is muddled
and his conscience scared thru
the use of alcohol? And do we
not know that again and again
those who would mislead the
people do not stand to our view
with sober men? They strive,
first, to pollute the heart of the
voter by alcoholic drink and then
they know they have chained
him to their chariot and they tell
him to vote and legislate in the
name of the country"
We are brought face to face
with the problem of the high

cost Of living; we are asking the
government to help out the eco
nomic conditions of society. But
many of our speakers and writer's
are ignoring the great stream of
money spent for intoxicants
which is draining the life of the
people. In the above mentioned
address, our Catholic brother
has these pertinent words to
offer:
I'VE speak to day of the cost
of living; very well, but why
complain of the cost of living?
Thousands of dollars are being
for drink, and we clamor for
for laws that would change our
tariff and we throw out theories
which would distribute prosperi-
ty. Let us put into practice the
theory of sobriety that will keep
in the pocket of the working
man his earnings, that will keep
away from his cottage all the
miseries that follow in the wake
of intemperance." ."
We are glad to hear these clear
pointed words from a man of his
high standing in the Catholic
church and we hope the linen
will work through all the great
multitude and that they shall
join hands with the great Pros
tesant army in overcoming their
common foe.
