600 Anticipated-Change in
System Proposed

A special committee on street
lighting appointed some time ago
under instructions of the common
council is working on its report and
may recommend several important
changes in the lighting system.
Under the present plans tRs cost of
street lighting will .probaLy be in
creased from $4,000 to more than
$4,000 year. 1t is planned to use
1000 candle power lamps in place OF
the present arc light on the white
way" and 100 candle power lights
will probably be used instead of the
present so candle power lights else
where. This will permit the placing
of lights farther apart than hereto
fore. The city is now being served
under an extension of the five year
contract which expired several months
ago.

WELCOME TO MOVIE CROWD

The welcome to the artists of the motion picture corporation, extended from the time they first entered the territory at ketchikan 70 their arrival at Seward and Anchorage, has been one continual fete, and should impress these people with the importance the residents of the territory attach to their presence.
 Anchorage turned out en masse to welcome the troupe, a monster recep- tion being accorded them in the big moving picture studio, and the affair was so strenuous that it resembled Mardi Gras days in New Orleans. It is a fine tribute to fine bunch of men and women. We are glad to have them with us, and will do all in our power to show them they are welcome.

FRENCH FEEL so CONCERTED
 THINK CAN CONTROL WORLD

BERLIN, Mar. 19.-Dernsmin Cess Ter, replying to an Associated Press correspondent at a recent interview, said in part: We do not want pity, as General DegoWte (French comman- der) seems to think. Degoutte seems to think that he can wield the mailed fist and violate all justice, but it is only for time, and truth is stronger than physical power, and because by armed help of the world France has been able to defeat Germany in the great war French militarists feel so big and conceited they think they can bring the world to her feet. Even though our people in the occupied ter ritory are disarnied she brings her hordes of armed men to pilfer and mo- lest us but we are leaving it other na- tions to judge whether this is just at a time when peace is supposed to be controlling the world

CLASS LEGISLATION

Every patriotic citizens believes the laws of the country were made to be obeyed. TOday's news dispatches how ever must shake the faith of the aver age citizen in the justice and upright ness of his country. Scores of officials, high in the affairs of the nation, were caught bootlegging by prohibition off cials in the national capital. Many of these men have sat ill judgment over their fellow men and many others helped make the laws which they have been caught violating.
 This has been the trouble with the laws since the Volstead Act was made a law. The poor the uninfluential and the little known have been prosecuted and persecuted under this act, while officials administering the law have violated it with impunity. The infiu- ential citizen has his booze and gets away with it. The poor man and the middle classes are harried from pillar
 
 to post and brought up with a round turn. In hundreds of cases officials are known to have consumed the booze taken from the bootlegger.
 There are thousands of honest, con scientious officials, who work earnest Iy to uphold the law; other thousands use their official position to enrichen themselves and to violate the law. In Chicago the other day a judge and prosecuting attorney fined a man iol violating the liquor laws and were caught in the judges chambers with bottle on the table between them, enjoying a friendly drink!
 Let us have one law for everyone. Ii it is not wrong for judge or official to drink it is not wrong for the layman. If it is wrong for the layman the pub lie official thrice violates his trust. AS the law now stands it merely en- richens the bootlegger and bars the poor man from what the rich can af- ford

EVIDENCE OF GROWTH
(From Anchorage Times)

Evidence of gradual and substan- tial growth Of central Alaska is indl- cated in the tranSferrence of gov ernmental agencies westward. These transfers cannot be ascribed to the application of energies seeking to take them to other sections of the terri tory, but rather as natural sequence of a swing of the pendulum which carries with it the machinery and func affairs Unfortunately, whenever change of base is made by a govern mental agency it is looked upon as favoritism. Tn the instances of the Alaska Road commission and the Sig nal corps this is now the case. With a through telegraph system from Seward to Fairbanks it is now possl- ble to transact business by this route that once passed through Valdez over the telegraph line following the Rich ardson highway.
 As sequence of events Seward ap- pears destined to become the second leg in the Alaska cable system instead of messages being relayed from Val deg. This will expedite cable service and at the same time offer greater facilities for serving the entire west and north of Alaska. With this grad ual perfection of every agency for ex- peditious business there is no reason why a great era of prosperity should not follow between Seward and Fair banks.
