Party control in neither Senate House of Representatives can be affected way the other by the political affiliations of the Delegate this Territory Therefore party politics should considered by Alaska voters when they are making their choice for Representative in Con gress The welfare of the Territory only should be taken into account.
 Alaska expects great deal from the next Congress. She should select her Delegate at the National capital the who the desired results Parti- san factional section politics should be set side. as also should personal likes diskes and anmosities The thing the people of Alaska should consider is who best represent the people of this Territory and who get the legislation that is needed to cause re- sumption of development in the North.
 Delegate Grigsby's record of year has shown that it is not necessary that the Representative from Alaska should belong the majority party in order to get results All that is needed is knowledge of Alaska,

Some two months members of the California Automobile Trade Association openly charged that the announced shortage Of gasoline was fictitious. It alleged that gasoline marketing companies were simply laying a foundation to gouge the users charges the government asked to investigate the situation, and inqury started by the Depart ment of Justice. The California Automobile Trade Association aided in the investigation. The result of the whole matter is signed statement issued by the Association in which it admits the charges of manipulation wholly without foundation and that there is actual shortage of gasoline on the Pacific Coast. The gasoline marketing companies wholly exonsrated of all blame.

It would help some if a man would hand out $5 for groceries at home as cheerfully as he hands out s15 for a dinner when he is away from home. A man would not be so poor if he did not spend so much money try ing to conceal the fact that he is poor.
 An optimist is a man who finds comfort in the fact that as long as it is raining he is in no danger of getting a sunstroke. Men are not angels. But they do not spend as much time chasing other women as their wives imagine they do.
