"ONE OF THE BEST PAPERS"

lLinotype Bulletin, New York Dec, 1913)
 For more than six months of each year almost impossible barriers raised by snow, ice and distance separate the hardy denizens of Iditarod, Alaska, from actual contact with their kind on ''the Outside" An occasional mail gets in by dog team, and the more important news of the world filters in by way of wireless at the rate of six bits to dollar per word These conditions de- mand local newspaper, and that demand is well supplied in The Iditarod Pioneer, one of the best papers in the Far North.
 Shortly after establishing The Pioneer, Publisher Arbucllle decided that the linotype way was the way for him, and about four months in advance of the opening of navi- gation this year he entered his order with our San Francisco agency for quick change model 8 three magazine linotype, and asked that they have it ready to go north on the first steamer that could reach St. Michael We did our part and the sequel appeared in the Pioneer of October 1, the first issue produced on the new machine.

WERE WE HANDED A LEMON?
Petersburg Progressive)

What are we to think of the situation in which we find ourselves in regard to our territorial legislature? Are we to take for granted that our legislators were 80 dense that they failed to interpret our organic act propertly, or are we to think that the at torney general is too narrow to see all the points involved? In either case, and for the present, at least, we have apparently been handed lemon
 It was generally assumed that we were given the power to make laws more suitable to our conditions. Being familiar with, and knowing the particular remedies, if applied would better the conditions, it was but nat ural that our legislators inferred that what ever laws were enacted, provided they suit ed our station, were to be part and parcel of the federal laws, and to think the con- trary seems unreasonable, in view of the restrictions imposed upon us by the organic act Moreover, the expenses incidental to the enforcement of additional laws to our codes-if we take in consideration that all the machinery to carry out the acts is al ready stablished-would be comparatively so little that it is inconceivable that con gress had in mind the creation of other courts and officers, thereby adding an extra and entirely useless burden on the people, be it whatever it may. Again, if congress had so intended expressed authority and directions would have been given, and to think the contrary is the very acme of ab- surdity.
 Another glaring absurdity which is trace able to the attorney general is shown in the following: Marshal Faulkner has instructed his deputies that unless the territory or the individuals pay the required fees, not to serve any processes under the territorial laws As though the fee was all that was needed to give a federal official authority to enforce our local laws. If our local laws are not considered part of the federal laws, a United States deputy marshal, or any other federal OHClal, naS no power, even II paid, to execute any processes except he IS appointed by territorial official The power behind the official is his authority to act
 Now, in order to squeeze little common sense out of that lemon, a special session of the legislature may be called, which can only result in further complication and add more expense. In view of all the facts in the case, we opne that the best course for us to follow is to let the court interpret our organic law, and should the contention ad- vanced by the attorney general be found correct, let us return the worthless instru- ment to congress with our compliment and such other explanations as may meet the situation, such as that we expect unrestrict ed freedom, and not the freedom of the short chained dog.

POWER NOT INVOLVED
(Juneau Empire ]


 Contrary to the belief that seems to have found lodgment in some places, the opinion of Attorney General McReynolds does not strike at the power of the Alaska legislature to levy taxes If his contention is sound, the legislature will only have to provide a diff ferent method of collecting taxes than through federal officials While such 8 course might not be as convenient as the tax collection plan that was made a part of the territorial revenue laws, it would not necessarily be any more costly or less eff cient
