George E. Mann, adjutant and if nance officer of the American Le- zion pests of Alaska, and Mrs. c. J. Skuse, delegate from Afford John Bradford Post No. 4, Auxiliary, re- turned to Juneau today on the steam CT Admiral Evans from Anchorage where they attended the convention of the American Legion at that place early this month. They report the convention as being most successful and enjoyed a delightful visit in An chorage and the Westward towns.

and showed that Governor Riggs had not endorsed the scheme.
 He also warned against creating the office of Controller on the ground that it would necessarily mean the building up Of an expensive system of administrative overhead He declared it would also mean a duplication ol the work done by the Secretary many of whose duties are required by Federal laws and which could not be taken away by any legislation passed by the local Legislature.
 He objected to clothing the Attor ney General with administrative and executive powers, which he charged was done in the Aldrich bill and its substitute. This, he said, had n. place in the bill.
 Believes Change Coming
 Mr Chamberlin, who also viewed the scheme as one sure to lead to expensive governmental administra- tion, said he believed il better to con tinue the present system for the time being, at least. It would be unwise and unfair to attempt to in- such a system at a time when the Federal government is show ing its interest in the Territory. He predicted a change in the Organic Act within the next two years in such a manner as would give the people of Alaska largely increased powers eff self-government.

He said the pres ent system had been started by ths first Alaska Legislature because oi lack of funds that made it i'm possible for any other kind of ad minfstration. It had been continued since that time for the same reason but now the Territory is financially able to handle it's own affairs. he argued
 He disputed claims that it meant establishment of costly administra- tive department. Referring to a statement made yesterday afternoon by Secretary Karl Theile, who was q witness before the Committee of ,he Whole, that he did not know whether the Governor would accept the Craftsmanship of the proposed Board of Control, Aldrich declared: : T have never heard such fmpudence on floor of this House from Fed eral official"

Senate Kills Waif Measure
  Orphan Bill Has Quick End
  No Raise for Commissioner

Whoever is 10 be Commissioner O Education in Alaska for the nex biennium, whether it be the present Commissioner or someone else, nc one seems to know, is going to get a salary of just S4,000 and no more That fact, at least. has been definite ly settled by the Senate.
 In some quarters during the past two years, in fact prior to that time there has been a belief prevailing that the Commissioner of Education s salary should be on par with that drawn by other Territorial officials. AL least one or two members of the House from divisions other than the First were asked to support a meas ure, or introduce one to this end. The bill. however, found it's way into the Senate last Saturday.
 Bill Not Sponsored
 It provided for an increase in the Commissioner salary of $1.O0O per annum, raising it from $4,O01 to $5 000. It was a waif measure, that is, it was sponsored by no one par t.cularly. + was introduced by MT, Chamberlin for the Committee on Education by request, but it's father hood was denied by all and snndry. And, like most orphans, it fared none too we'll First, that which it pos sessed when it came into being was taken away from it, and after it had been despcled, it was put to death with neatness and dispatch and buried without ceremony CT eyi- dences of grief. While there was some objection to the execution, mourners were not numerous and no wake was held.
 The Senate declared itself on the subject in dealing with Senate Bill No. 100. This, in addition to pro vidng for a boost in the compensa- ...an to the Commissioner of Edu. cation, also sought to make some qualifications a prerequisite for hold ing that office. It proposed, first, the raise in salary. MT. Dunn, who apparently didn't like the effect of the clause, moved to amend by strk- ing the words and figures $5,000 and insert $4,000 This was carried.
 Qualifications Not Needed
 Under the provisions of the present act creating the office of Commis- sioner of Education, Chapter GA, Ses- sion Laws, 1917, the only mention of qualifications is found in Section 6, which provides in part: "said Commissioner of Education shall be chosen for a term of two years upon merit, and because of his special fit ness 10 propose and execute benefi cial educational policies for the gen eral supervision, government and control of the public schools Of the Territory" The bill sought to amend this by adding: "The person chosen as Commissioner of Education shall be a graduate of a standard, college or university and shall have had not less than four years of experience as a, school superintendent or super visor in an accredited city school system or in a state school system at the time he is appointed to the po- sition"
 Mr. Dunn also voiced an objection to this. He argued that such re- quirements were not necessary. IL

Representative Polleys bill fol S40000 for the construction of a build ing to house the Alaska Museum and District Historical Library ran the gauntlet of the House yesterday afternoon and emerged with few changes in minor details. The bill passed its second reading and was scheduled to come up for final pass age today.
 As introduced by MT Policy and recommended by the Committee on Ways and Means, the bill provided for construction of the building here. It was this feature which led to MT Staser and MT. Price, both from An. chorage, to sign the report as not concurring. The most important amendment proposed was by MT Staser. He sought to have included in it provision requiring that the ''Hstorical Library and Museum Building should be located in that in corporated town in the Territory of Alaska which shall in a written pro posal to the Governor of Alaska made within SO days after the pass. age and approval by this Act, by the Common Council of such town. do nate the largest sum" as bonus to secure the building. sStaser said he believed that Juneau could and prob ably would make the best offer, but declared that other incorporated towns should have a chance. He was supported by. both Price anc Decker, the latter declaring he be lieved the amendment a good one
 MT Policy argued that the Museum should be located where it would b. most accessible to persons visiting the Territory. He quoted figures or steamer travel to show the pre- ponderance of visitors here ovel towns to the Westward. Daily, Shep ard and Johnston also opposed tht amendment. It was lost by an over whelming vote, Staser, Price, Murray and Decker voting for it.
 MT. Daly got an amendmen through specifying that the $4o,O0' appropriation should be expended il suCu do tO titCt tAiS DNA4' ing and equip in in every respect making it "a going concern. The provisions for the board of directors were changed on an amendment of fered by Decker and Cole. The orig inal, ,bill called for the Governor, Sec retary, Curator and Librarian, and six directors to be chosen whenever possible from the membership of the Alaska Historfical' Society which has originally opened the Museum and kept it going for the past three years. The amendment at first elim- mated the Curator and Librarian, and the six additional directors, and sub stituted the Commissioner of Edu- cation, Treasurer and Attorney Gen eral. This was later changed to in- clude one director from the Histori- cal Society and adopted in that shape.
 The last amendment was offered by MT. Wilson. It increased the sal ary of Curator and Librarian from $2,.0O per year to $2,400. This passed with only two members voting against it.

Declares Wholesale
Coal Men Have Been
HOgging Profits

Washington, Oct. 21.--Wholesalers
in the coal industry during recent
years have been taking profits at a
rate of more than 200 per cent over
their pre-war margins the coal COM
mission reported today while retail
coal dealers, in spite of increasing
costs have been taking less. The
commissions study of coal distribu-
ton resulted in it's recommendation
to President Coolidge and congress
that the federal government be en-
powered to regulate fuel distribution
in times of shortage, but that the
retail handling of coal be left chiefly
for local treatment.
Though the commission ceased It's
work September %. the text of it's
report on coal distribution became
available today in complete form for
the first time. The conclusions al
vanced We're unanimously adopted
THE commissions study indicates
that there are altogether too many
wholesalers" the report said, but
that Notwithstanding this fact. the
wholesale trade has made large pro-
fits in most of the ten year period
from 1913 to 1922 inclusive. and eX-
cessive profits in the panic years,
1917 and 1920. The year 1922 gen.
orally showed more moderate and

long time to discover that the census
taker meant that he was carpenter
and Joiner.

the census is that of a rat charm

A woman was responsible for the
entry: "forelady gravy thick" When
light dawned upon the census officers
1t was found that the person in ques-
ton was superintendent in a soup
factory. evidently in the thick de-

meaning OF entries was never discov-

including that of ,"triperoaster." and
finally she was placed among the
typists. "Squirmer" remained a mys-
