FAIRBANKS OK GoRED

A few weeks ago Representative Johnson of the Fourth division intro duced a bill in the Territorial legisla- ture. the results of which would have been to have thrown thousands of dol lars worth of printing to Juneau pub fishing houses. At that time the Gate way called attention to the unfairness of the bill, and asked that a protest be sent in against it's passage.
 The Third division delegation got busy and knocked the bill out. While there was no reason to believe that a bill of this kind would pass an intel ligent body of lawmakers, so far as we are aware, The Gateway IS khe only paper that telegraphed a protest pointing out that the money paid Tor election work came out of taxes con- tributed by each division, and should be spent at home. The Gateway has also from time to time protested against the attitude of the Commis- sioner of Education, who has all print ing for the schools of the Territory done as Juneau. While this may be in a manner, necessary for those dis tricts outside of incorporated towns it is taking money raised by taxes di rectly from municipalities. Juneau is no more entitled to this work than is the Gateway to work in Seattle ol Tacoma.
 The legislature recently killed bill taking control away from tho president of the agricultural college and the school of mines at Fairbanks The Act provided that the presiden should not have the power to hire thu faculty, but could nominate" them and that all bills must be paid at Ju neau, which meant delay ot iron four to eight weeks in payments mad' by the college.

esnousing the methods of the Indus- trial Workers. It would have adver- tised the Territory in manner that would have caused us to blush with shams if the question of our loyalty in passing such Act had been brought before the American people.
 The Syndicalist Act was passed at a time when the country was torn with strife and racial prejudices. but nevertheless it is a good law to keep on the statute books. It cannot hurt those who are law-abiding and loyal, and may hold those in check who are neither the one or the other.

 Fortunately, too, there is no sign oi imitation" notwithstanding that many manufacturers are shouting "over- production.'
 The official monthly bulletin of the Federal reserve board, issued last month, stated that the central and western sections will soon be in bet ter condition than at any time during the war. If this be true, we may look for a period of greater prosperity in Alaska this summer. Despite the low business ebb of the past four years, our population has held on. hoping for better times, and praying that re strictions curbing the Territory's de velopment may be removed.
 Undoubtedly the visit of the con. gressional party in June will do much toward lifting Alaska from its stagna. tion and depression following the in famous conservation orders issued by Pinchot and backed up by the admin istratiOn.
 Capital is over-taxed and is shy.
