GOV. RIGGS GOVERNMENTAL
 SUGGESTION
cFrom Juneau Empire)

ttrOm Juneau Etnp!Fe)
 If the people of Alaska really d. sire .o deprive the Governor of the powers that the organic Act conferrc upon him when it designated him as the Chief Executive of the Territory it should be done in the manner sug- gested by Gov Riggs in his open le'- ter to Representative O. D. Cochran. Gov Riggs proposition has the merit of undivided responsibility as far ae that is possible under our organ" Act. It places in the hands of the C0mptr"ller In office which he su%- gests that .he Legislature create the execution of Territorial laws. and | clothes him with authority 10 appoint all Terr.torial bo;wds, aud officers iu cases where there are no boards of control.

 The plan suggested by Gov. t sps is to have the Comptroller who $ made IS said. the hief executive of fcer of the Territory elective by the people and preclude the danger of lack of cooperation lnd lack of cfficiency through division of responsibility.
 While the Empire still believes tho- t wuuld be better to legislatc in Hc- cordance with the intent of the Or sanic Act and continue the Governo" as the chief executive officer of n, Territory. if the people desire to make the separation of Territorial and Fed eral matters as nearly complete as possible il would he better to do t along +he lines suggested by Gov Riggs than by making the various subordinate boards and technical and ministerial offices elective hy direct vote. and thus make each division Cf the executive branch of the govern ment independent of each of the other divisions.

NENANA WILL CELEBRATE;
 BIG BLOWOUT IS ASSURED

The Eagle will scream, as usual, in Nenana on the Fourth of July only more so. This decision was reached at a meeting of citizens held at the Coliseum on Tuesday night, pursuant to a call issued by Mayor Joe O'Connor. There were quite a number present and plans for the celebration were discussed in general way, Dr. J. R. Bowen officiating as chairman.
 The principal work done, how ever, was the selection of the cefe- 'bration committee, which will have entire charge of the arrangement of the program and the staging of the festivities. .:
 Deputy Marshal J. l.. finders, who is stationed in Nenana for the sum- mer, was appointed general chair man of the celebration, the other members being Joe O'Connor and Joe Fischer. A finance committee consisting of Ali Ekeland and Mar tin Nash, was also appointed, and a decoration committee headed by Jack Donnelley, of the local signal corps station, with power to ap- point all the assistants he may need to put the town in holiday attire.
 The committee will have a meet ing tonight to discuss publicity work in connection with the ceIe- bration. and it is expected that the finance committee will alos begin its work immediately. .@
 While it is too early to state definitely what features will be ar ranged, there is the assurance that there will be an automobile race, with at least four cars entered, and probably several horse races and a baseball game.
