and perpetuate tn industry with fair
ness to all concerned, giving first
consideration to the Territory OF AL
aska and the general pubic.
1.-The industry should be made
stable for those who have their
money invested so that a permanent
and healthy fishing population may
be literally supported within the Ter
r'itory, and the consuming public be
assured of and receive a good whole
some product resulting in Alaska fish

Stand on Indian Vote
Here in Juneau have been asked
in particular, to comment on state
ment made by one William l.. Paul,
in regard to the Indian vote in AL
aska, particularly in this division.
While in my judgment not one
half of one per cent of the Indians
in the entire Territory are entitled
TO vote for the reason that they have
not yet attained a sufficient degree
of intelligence to properly exercise
the franchise, there seems to be no
doubt that an effort is being made to
vote the Indians in a body and Mr..
Paul's statement is an admission that
he is actively engaged in an attempt
TO bring this about.
while not a lawyer myself, | am
advised, and it appears to be, the
plain Interpretation of the election
law, that the judges of the election
in each voting precinct are the ar
biters in a primary election. The
provisions of the law appear to be
very clear, consequently the duties
of the election judges in enforcing
it's provisions are spondingly
simple.
81 have no patience with ultima
tums of any kind, and this one in
particular though trivial and ridicu-
lous, is the more obnoxious coming
as it does from one man or at most,
1T he has carte blanche authority to
sneak for all Indian citizens of Al
aska, from very insignificant vot-
ing population.
No Mixed Schools
81 am in favor of larger appropri-
ations and larger and better schools
for the Indian population of Alaska
SO that they may receive all the ad
vantages of education and thus be
come good and intelligent citizens
yet in the interest of both white and
Indian, am most emphatically OPP
posed to any law or school system
which would compel or permit the
children OF both races to meet and
freely intermingle in schools common
to all.
Full Governmental Powers
''In my platform as made public
throughout the Territory several
weeks ago, emphasized the import
ance of obtaining full form of Ter
,ritorial government. Undoubtedly
the bestowal of such powers on Al
aska would result in the people OF
Alaska solving the problems I have
touched ON herein and others con
stantly arising"

Extract From MIR. LowelIs Letter.
The text of Mr.. Lowelrs letter to the
grange membership reads in part as
follows:
"If coal strike takes place. as seems
possible. in April. the production of the
fuel. upon which the prosperity and well
being Of millions depend. will cease.
Although it is claimed that coal enough
to last for a month or more is now
above ground. any stoppage Of produc-
tion obviously will result in high prices
in the near future. II railroad workers
strike the transportation upon which
the food of millions depends will stop.
"A railroad strike now means farm
ers' products remaining unsold and
spelling in their barns. And that may
nean famine. suffering and perhaps
death in the cities. 1t means farm
supplies piled UP In railroad yards.
while fields wait for seeds. fertilizer and
machinery necessary to make them pro-
ductive.
"A strike in April at planting time
wrecks years crop production plans.
THE decision OF every member of the
grange to do his part in building up
fair and just settlement and the en-
forcement of such settlement to the
utmost will prevent any strike. Own
ers. workers and the government
must feel the power of this public
opinion.

sentiment"

FARMERSENABLED

Other Benefits to Food Pro.
ducers Under Present Ad-
ministration Cited.

From a non-partisan viewpoint. the
present administration Is pro- tarm-
er administration, and it has already
effected results waich are proving
beneficial 10 the fooc producers OF the
nation, according to S. j. Lowell, mas
ter of the National Grange of Ere
donia, ". Y, who is here presiding at
Il meeting of the executive committee
of the grange.
In calling the agricultural confer
ence. according to MIR. Lowell, -Presi-
dent Harding opened the way for i'm
provements in the economic situa-
Iion existent between the farmer and
the consumer. The conference. as Will
be remembered, opened the road for
collective bargaining. or cooperative
marketing Cf their produce by farm
ers, by obtaining legislation exclud-
ing farmers combines tor this pur-
pose from the jurisdiction OF anti
trust laws.
Results In Co-Operation.
AS a result. President Lowell said,
farmers cooperative organizations
are sprinSing up throughout the
country Will gratifying FlSor anu
on q firmly established basis. AS tnls
growth continues, he said, the un,
necessary JopOer Will be more anu
more excluded from agricultural eco
nomicS, and his profits Will De spit
between the farmer and the consumer.
Here's the way 1t operates:
a group oi farinerS-who former
ly individually sold to Jobber VINO
reaped a pront and in turn sOlu 10
a miller or a Gamer, or a packer
or similar eStablIsament-now do
their bargaining direct with the ul-
innate handler of their goods. Inc
profit OF the Jobber Is thus ellminat-
ed and the public as well as the
farmer benefits.
Secretary Wallace is proving a
good man for his job, according 10
MIR. Lowell, and the Department OF
Agriculture is doing everything II
can to help the farmer.
But the greatest benefit OF recent
wears to the farmer is the awaken
ing of the urban mind to his lmpor-
tance as a national inteSer and en-
tity and the recognition whlch Sucn
knowledge brings in its train: Inc
farmer always is optimistic IN the
spring, Mr.. Lowell said ana tnings
look bright just now for aSricul-
ture; there may be a different twist
TO the tale at later date.
The grange is opposed TO safes
tax, he said, because of its metnod
of operation and for reasons quoteu
some time ago when the orSahiL a.ioi.
took that stand AS to a soluiers
bonus. the grange is in favor ot IL.

added. ANY reservation that any
democrat wants to propose should be
