American Legion
Election Tonight

Considerable interest has been
aroused among Legion members as
to the outcome of the annual cleo
tion of Capital Post No. 9 which
will be the first order of business
at the meeting to be held tonight
in the armory at 5 o'clock.
C. X. Knickerbocker and Joe
Minton were nominated for The
commandership of the post at a
previous meeting, and sentiment
proved to be about equal for the
two candidates.
Each of the two men have cor
respondingly good service records
and the outcome will perhaps de-
pend on which candidate succeeds
in getting the greater number of
it's friends present.
The proposed change in the
name of the post to "Jones-Ecker-
lin" is causing some opposition
among the rank and file Of the ex-
service men who have seen rather
proud of the present title of the
post.

night. 1t met for a long while. It
went into session at 1880 o'clock

business which it transacted won't
burden the city stenographer.
A large portion of the evening
was devoted to consideration of
the ordinances providing for
special city election and the meas
ures to- be placed before the yot-
ers at that time. Many times City
Attorney Ray Smith was called to
his feet to explain the bills. Then
he was required to explain his ex-
plantations. Unfortunately the
council, earlier in the evening, had
strobe forward to remedy the park
bill before Mr.. Smith had assumed

actively opposed by Alderman #.

proposed $1,000 appropriation to

eralized laws with an administra-
tion co-ordinated and brought
nearer home is the paramount
need of Alaska, Governor Scott G.

port, made public today by the in

Capital and people are required
to develop the resources Of the ter
ritory," he said, "and until it is
made easier for these two neces-
sary factors to obtain a foothold
the territory will not progress.
Under the present long range sys-
tenn of government individual ini-
tiative has been halted and the

Centralized Government.
To promote efficiency by mini

tens possible while government
supervision be maintained at
Washington with the various bu-
reaus dealing with the territory
consolidated under one depart

that each essential bureau station

powered to act on all matters not

Distractions met by capital
seeking investment and by people
in quest Of homesteads have been
lessened somewhat in recent
years." the governor says, "but by
no means removed. Both capital
and people are entitled to fairer
chance than they have ever had in

The governor recommends:

message to, congress follows:
Mr.. Speaker and members
of the congress:
1t is a very gratifying privi-
lege to come to the congress
with the republic at peace
with all the nations of the
world. More, it is equally
gratifying to report that our
country is not only free from
every impending menace of
war, but there are growing
assurance of the permanency
of the peace which we so
deeply cherish.
Difficulties Many.
For approximately ten
years we have dwelt amtd
Ihenaces or war or as partic-
ipants in wars actualities,
and the inevitable aftermath,
with it's disordered condi-
tions, has added to the diff
culties Of government, which
adequately cannot be apprais-
ed except by those who are
in immediate contact and
know the responsibilities.
Our tasks would be less diff
cult if we had only ourselves
to consider, but SO much of
the world was involved, the
disordered conditions are SO
we'll nigh universal, even
among nations not engaged in
actual warfare, that no per-
manent readjustments can be
