 When Judge Brown was recently in Juneau holding cou:t he urged the passage of 3t measure. such as Was introduced by Representative Brown and afterwards passed by both houses. with but one dissenting voice in each body. It Was l bill providing that thei' employees examined by compe- tent physicians before leaving the states. as to the,m sanity and morality; and to hold the employing comrt;'. responsible for transportation and eN- penses involved in the prosecution of violItors imported by the packers. is alleged that the companies. more particularly operating to the westward have cost the government thousands inals and half insane persons into the territory. Many of them leave the companies and mingle among the peo pie. of the various communities doing depradations that result in injury of v;la'ious kinds. Representative Browns bill sought to place the responsibility of these acts upon the companies that bring these men north for few months, in order to avoid making ;,n effort 10 secure Alaskans to do the re- qurcd work for them. The Governo" states that he called into conference Judge Jennings and Attorney Fa"rl Yer that :he bill should be vetoed. which he has accordingly done. This action

 Those who have been trying to make all the trouble for the Administration in Alaska objected to the fisheries bill proposed by the Britt Resolution be cause il Was charged. among other things, that its commission would be too costly. The bill proposed by Sen ator Britt would create n commission of three members with salaries Of sl 200 ench and ' Director of Fisheries at q salary of s5.000-mak! a com hinel salary list for the commission "f SSG00.
 Delegate Sutherland has introduced fisheries bill providing for the gov ernment of the fisheries in Alaska by Il commission of five members. four of whom are to receive salaries of si,l00 each and one to get q salary of $6. 000- having q combined salary list for the commission of s2I,000.
 If the trouble makers were sincere in their opposition 70 the cost of the Britt measure. and We're not simply tying to make trouble, they will now oppose the Sutherland Bill.
 While The Empire has always con tended that small commissions ure pre- ferable to large ones it believes there will be no objection to the Sutherland Bill on the part of those who really de- sire to see this Alaskan probl m set tied because of the circumstance of the proposed membership of five. nor on account of the salaries allowed

RELIEF STATIONS ALONG COAST
(E'rom Juneau Empire)


 At every light on :he coast of Alaska where waters are dangerous there is need of the erection of q warm cabin supplied with provisions and kindline wood. The lives of many would be saved and some of the hazard of the shipwrecked would be removed.
 The suggestion is not new. Again st it is the charge that a certain indivii- ual sea rover" would steal the sup plies thus rendering the service ineffi- cient The rejoinder to this is the experience with the unwritten law cf ing the cabin along the trail. It was serious indeed for a man 70 stop t one of these cabins and abuse the use of it in any way. He was compelle to register and to get kindling wood and lay T fire for the next traveller.
 In humanity there is such recogni- tion of right of relief for fellow sufferer and a certain respect for institutions like the old time road house cabin that the stations at the light houses would he safe from theft or destruction.

THE DEVELOPMENT
 OF ALASKA
O'rom Juneau E.mpige)

VI iN'AA "H-+-@fA A-'hf'--t| Commissioner of tdnr.lt on l.. B. Henderson suggests that one of the htndicaps under which Alaska is labor ing is that too many people who live in the Territory know too li.tle about .t. have too little regard for t and no.
 suhicicn' belief in the value of it's ment Which means in shor.. thu, there are too many residents of the Territory who do not look upon Alaska with that pride in homeland that it s an essential element in the develop men: of country-and when We speak of development in thIs sense we ment. development of resources md industries. but the development c: citi- zenship and community character
 And what Afr. Henderson says i- true. Too many people look upon .tl- aska as q county % be exploited. T country in which tu earn a st'tke wit N hich to go to some other conrtry where there is pride in homcia nd There is no other section of the coun- try that would. for instance. tolerate for fraction of t second the attempts of people pretending to be Ala sI,Dns. but whn refuse ;o live in the Territory. to run her affairs just for 4he glory or profit there might he in the running
 The thing above all else that would help to develop Alaskan character, that would aid in rea.'ng pride in resid-
 ng in the Terr' tory, would be 0 give the people full s"lt-sovc. nment. Let Alaska. and her government belong tn these who reside lore and the people would commence to ttial more or the Territory. As long as the Territory is managed by those who have he strongest pull It M1Sh'nstou tb.,t long, will the man Wle lives outside. and pretens'o on, be at a premium. Let thA actumI residents possess Alasl a and pride and love of :he possession will naturally follow.
 While We have too many Alaskaus and pretended Alaskans who do not know the Territory and who have little of the real, home loving faith thgt builds commonwealths we have enough Alaskans who do understand the Territory, who actually live here and expect to continue to live her. who believe in it and expect to con- tinue to live here, who believe in it and the greatness of .ta possibilities and its people. to make this great Territory if they will only properly as sort themselves.
 Mr. Hendcrson's plan to develop faith and pride in homeland among the children of Alaska is indeed praise worthy To those who spend their childhood in this Territory. Alaska is and always will he home, They will bc the mainstaY of the country in the years that are to come. and they can not know too much about il, hnve too much confidence in it or love it tho well.
 There is much for Alaskans to de velop here in the North, but the great est of them all is to develop Alaskans

THE TERRITORIAL FiAsco
GF'ron Douglas Island News)


 According to Il recent report issued by the Territorial Commissioner of Ed uca:ion there were 3,2ss children in attendance at the public schools of the Territory during the past year. Of 1 this number ,647 were in the schools of the First Division. 1s9 in the Se- cond. HOO in the Third and 357 in the Fourth. The cost per capitl of edu- ..ing these Alaska children was: First Division, s9l.57 Second Divi- sion. $21O. %: Third Division. sill. s9: Fourth Division, S160.64.
 i Turning to the report of the Terri tarial Treasurer. we find that tha school tax collected in the four differ ent divisions during the year 1920 was: First. ss1 .s65 10: Second ss,56s: Third $5o,slb, 50; Fourth. s4,23o % | Taking :he number of school child ron as q basis from which to figure percentage of popula ton in each divi- sion, the following is ohtained: l First Division, 50 per cent: Second Division. 5.9 per cent; Third Division, 33.3 per cent: Fourth Division 10 g per cent
 In the First Division it will be seen that there are 1,647 school children. and just one less, 1,64s, in the other 1 three divisions.
 l And yet the Second and Fourth of the population uf the Territory practically dominated the late session of inc Legislature and procured for -Eeir constituencies more of the ap- rrIpriations for Improvements than the S3 per cent. The Sec nd Division. with less than six per cen # tilc popu i:f'or of the Territory had the rresi- dency of th.. senate and he chief | clerks of both :he senate and tn" house and the Fourth Division. with its 10. : per cent Of the population. had the speaker of the house. and the two com | bined. with less than l7 per cent of the population of .he Territory. had ! 50 per cent of the representation in both houses-not that they are to he censured in any way for taking whtt tke imperfect organic act of he Ter ritory gives them, for it is their right as the act exists. More than that, the delegations from the Second and Fourth camp into the Legislature or eanized aud prepared to further th"i'' aims and amhtions-Which they did. outpointinc and outGeneraling their iates at every turn. In other words. the tail wagrcd the dog and steered i. at will.
 The remedy for existing conditions lies with the greet majority of the people of Alaska. Concerted and in- telliyent acton will bring about re- districtins of the Territory and vii award to the inhabited portions of if their inst dues. The Second and Fourth Divisions should be made into one and at that it would have more than its share of representation in the Territorial Legislature. By rights, q portion of the Third should be added 70 it to give it more population. and the First should be divided into two divi- sions, with Juneau the seat of one and Ke:chikan the seat of the other.
 The second and Fourth each have i a holdover senator, which is all the repre- they should. have in that body of the next Legislature and that with their present representation in the lower house of eight reduced to four. should be the future apportion- ment.
