ONLY FEDERAL BUILDING
 AUTHORIZED THIS YEAR
 MAY BE ONE AT CORDOVA

Alaska probably will get the only public building legislation of this ses- sion of congress if a bill which the house committee on public buildings has reported favorably is passed. This measure, introduced by Delegate Grigsby, permits the existing appro- priation of $1OO,OOO for a postoffice, court house and jail at Cordova to be spent for a court house and jail only, leaving the matter of postofffce building open for later consideration. It is impossible to build for $10O,00Q an adequate building to take care of all three federal activities, and, more over, the site chosen, while satisfac- tory for a court house and jail, is not satisfactory for postoffice purposes.

Territorial Compensation

The Department of Alaska of the American Legion, which met in con- vention at Juneau last week, adopted the following resolution with refer ence to the proposal for territorial compensation:
 "Whereas, It has come to our knowl- edge that a number of states have en- acted legislation for the material bene- fit of their returned ex-service men and women; and
 "Whereas, Some three thousand men, representing the flower of Alas ka's manhood, laid down their pur- suits and various vacations overnight to answer their country's call in the preservation of it's integrity as a na- tion and the upholding of it's princi- pies of liberty and democracy; and
 'FWhereas, Many of the men going into the service from Alaska, both on entering and returning therefrom, in- cured expenses incident to travel which was not the case with the men entering the service from the States. In many instances these men were obliged to personally defray such trav- cling expenses over a distance of one to five thousand miles, for which ex- penditure no reimbursement has been made by the federal government to date and
 "Whereas, A large percentage of ex- service men, in addition to time spent in the service, were at a material loss on account of losing a part of the whole of at least one seasons work, due to the conditions of the territory of Alaska which necessarily confine the working season to the short sum- mer months: Now, therefore, be it unanimously
 Resolved, by the Department of Alaska of the American Legion, in con- vention assembled, That it is the duty of the territorial legislature at it's reg ular session to take action and provide some adequate legislation to equitably compensate the ex-service men and women of the territory of Alaska"
