partment. Many of the reservations are ill-advised and should and would be climi- mated if there could be one central author ity to take any interest in the matter. Many of the reserves have been forgotten even by the department making them.
 That all this interocking authority, of which the above Is only an incomplete statement, leads to inefficiency, delay, and extravagance, is acknowledged by all; yet 1t seems impossible to overcome the state of existing inertia.'
 In conclusion, the governor advocates ''The ccntralization of all possible author ity in Alaska in the departure of the in terior. which is the logical department to handle territorial affairs The department should then centralize all bureau admins tration in Alaska itself This would make an effective government responsible to but one chief There should be one territorial budget and one overhead administrative organization. Action at all times could be prompt, and there would not exist the need of corresponding at times with as many as three different departments before desired action can be taken'

WALT MASON'S DAILY POEM

Dost recall the wild commotion of a little while ago, when we had a sort of notion that the profiteers would go! We resolved to prosecute them and to poison them and shoot them, and to treat lem rough and boot them; where's that move ment, do you know? Where are now the learned attorneys whom we often used to meet, as they made their frantic journeys to the courthouse and repeat? How they used to roar and thunder how they d stamp the price hogs under, and deprive them of their plunder, in the name of Mike and Pete! Are the profiteers in prison, where we said we'd put them all ! Is the hoarder gettin his n, dragging round Ia chain and ball? Is the markets greedy ruler resting in the moldy cooler or is Justice but drooler, with its picture to the wall? l am shelling out my dollars to the soulless profiteers; I am overcharged for collars and for wadding for my ears; Il am overcharged for sweaters and for ink ito write my letters, and no buccaneer in letters to my wistful gaze appears.

Now that Wickersham has expressed a desire to ba delegate to the republican national convention it is up to the repubh- cans to acknowledge the wishes of their overlord and choke the polls at the April primary in their mad rush to propitiate the valiant leader of Alaska republicanism We wonder if he has again ''yielded to the re quests of his many supporters in entering the race.
The daily Alaska citizen., 1920-01-20

Wickersham's statement that he will not be candidate for delegate from Alas ka at the next election may be accepted at its face value at this time. However, in the ten months intervening between now and next November, he may find it con- venient to change his mind again. It wouldn't be the first time in the political history of Alaska that such a thing has happened.

The Nenana News says the Nenana Commercial Club is discussing making an effort to secure a raise in wages for the interior employees of the Alaskan Engineer ing Commission. It is barely possible that official Washington will look on the source as prejudice. It is highly probable that the railroad workers are underpaid, most gov ernment employees are. Representations by the workers, themselves, however, would be more effective than those coming from other interests

fore the Senate letter from Ignatius

cause She refused to pay an in

tenant fell behind in the payment of
her rent and that finally she was
dispossessed in December, 1919 for
non-payment of rent. at that time
owing S11J in back rental.
Mr.. COstiean said that he had not
talked with Admiral Grayson in re-
gard to the matter, but to Mrs. Gray
son, and that Mrs. Grayson had many
times granted the tenant an exten-
sion of time in which to pay the rent
until finally it appeared that the rent
was not going to be paid and some
action would have to be taken. He
said further that since the eviction
Rear Admiral Grayson has leased
the house at a lower rental than the
former tenant was paying: that
therefore he could not be accused of
seeking to profteer.
In presenting the letter. Senator

a lady had come to his office and
told him that she had been evicted
by Admiral Grayson from a house
owned by him because she refused to
pay an Increased rent. He said he
was glad to give the letter of Mr..
Cos,isan the same publicity that
he had given the original charge
against Admiral Graysou
