MEMORIAL IS SOUND

The memorial introduced in the House of Representative by MT. Price which asks Con- press to amend the Organic Act by eliminating fine provision which denies the Territorial Teois]ature power to amend or repeal the so- called licensed tax law should be adopted. This law has been on the statute books for many years and is not applicable to present conditions. Further than that it is essentially
 local taxing law enforced by the Federal Government which expends the proceeds. It, therefore, has to do with matters that should
 come wholly within the jurisdiction of the Territorial Legislature.
 This is one of the many limitations that were foolishIy put in the Organic Act winch have served as stumbling blocks to progressive development Not only should 1t be removed but it should be accompanied Tn It's exit from the Organic Act by lot of other assln1n' Limitations. With it should go the provision prohibiting the Territorial Legislature from ]enislating concerning the flsheres and game of the Territory; the provision which prevents t},e Lepislature from providing for the lssu- ,nco of bonds or other evidences of debt by the Territory or any subdivision thereof, winch |automatica11v prevents the creation of dls- )trcts for he purpose of raising funds for public improvements; the provision which pro hibits the Territory Legislatures creating or arranging for the creation of counties; the provision which fixes permanent apporton- |ment of membership in the Territorial Legis-
 lature: the provision which makes it impos- sible for the Legislature to act on the hquol
 or other matters and lot of similar things.
 The absurd and un-American limitations in the Organic Act under which Alaska is oper-
 ated make it an abomination. It does not fol- low the spirit, not to mention the letter, of
 more than century of American historical precedents. How an American Congress ever
 came to pass such a monstrosity, even through the Limitations were asked for by the Alaska Delegate to Congress- is incomprehensible- Juneau Empire.

TRADE AT HOME

Communities grow in proportion to the sup port given them by their residents You can not boost Cordova by trading elsewhere or placing business in other localities that could be placed at home.
 Folks who try to save pennies oftentimes lose dollars. The home merchant is generally honest and offers honest values for yo'n money. He can't afford to be otherwise. He depends for his living from the community and must give the community what it wants at fair price.
 When you are tempted to trade outside and purchase "just as good merchandise at great lv reduced prices," you should think twice be fore buying. If you are "stung" by your home merchant he will no doubt be glad to make an adjustment. The out-of-town merchant is not personally interested in you. He is intent on selling you this once and probably does not ex- pect to sell you again. He does not have to take great care in preserving your good will.
 More than owing it to your community to trade at home, thus keeping your money at home you should give the home merchant first opportunity to serve you, from a sound econ omic standpoint.

BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME

The largest oil reserve in the world has been set aside in northwest Alaska by the Federal Government Official announcement of the reservation of 35,0OO square miles in this section of the Territory carries the as sertion that executive order was issued ''to insure fuel for the Navy"
 The Alaska Weekly feels like wishing the Federal Government better luck with this effort to insure fuel for the Navy than it had in getting out coal from the huge Matanuska deposits for a similar purpose At the same time it must be admitted that ll-luck, if it may so be called, as to the coal, should be ascribed wholly to lack of persistence.
 The Navy department, it will be remem- bered, began important experiments with Mat anuska coal. The tests were highly satisfac tory and the available quantity was known to- he prodigous. But while the inquiry was in progress as to cost of transportation and de- livery at Naval depots in the States, the Tn- ternational Disarmament Conference at Wash ington came along, with it's ultimate agree ments to junk many ships and restrict future naval construction. One of the first effects was the termination of the Alaska coal inquiry so far as the Navy department was concerned If there were to be fewer ships what was tho nse of looking for more coal9 So that chapter was closed.

THE LITERACY TEST

The defeat of the Foster Literacy Bill in the Legislative Senate will not be approved by any Alaskan who has the interests of the Territory at heart and the Legislators who held out against so palpably sensible and proper measure will not be the gathers in the confidence and faith of citizens at large. However the question may be argued, stand which approves of giving the privilege Of the vote to illiterate persons can hardly be con- strued otherwise than as inspired by motives of political expedency. A sincere concern for the interests of the Indians themselves would urge the justice of the literacy test
 Their own welfare demands that they know what they are voting for and why. And aside from the principle involved, the effect upon the Indians own respect for the privilege of citizenship cannot be other than lowered by the attitude of the white man that honors hls own law no more than this. The motives ot those who have opposed the bill would have been less open to criticism if the bill had been amended as proposed, with specific provision against the mass voting of illiterate Indians
 With the failure of even that proposal there falls upon its opponents the unacceptable sus- pcion of the purposes which the bill was ex- presslv designed to prevent. These are no credit to any politician, and they are 1nlmlcal alike to the rights and interests of the whole neonle. That such a situation can be brought about by the votes of four individuals IS an ironic and discreditable state of affairs.

whole. In the squabble among Pacific Coast cities for the establishment of Naval bases is presented another case in point Not for the most efficient service and the best interests of the nations defenses, but because some city wants the commercial benefits to be cleaned from them, Naval bases must be es- tablished wherever the greatest pressure can be brought to bear. Thus is the Navy cham strung," it's efficiency menaced, the national dcfenses weakened and the peoples money squandered by the short-sighted mercenar1- ness of certain communities. Not only IS the Navy hamstrung, but the whole nation. Great is the wisdom of the people!

HAMSTRUNG

Admiral Sims service to the United States as a Naval officer has been conspicuous for fearless and constructive criticism. In his zeal for the efficiency of that fighting arm of the nations defenses he has never hesltated to point out the fatal defects in it's administration and conduct. In his declaration the other day that the Navy is being "hamstrug' on the Pacific through the selfish and unpatr1otlc attitude of certain communities in seeking the establishment of naval bases solely for the commercial benefits to be derived from them, Admiral Sims puts his finger on one of the sore spots in the body of a democracy. The dominance of selfish local interests over those of the nation at large is a condition actuating the nations every move, from the vote of the individual to legislation by Congress. Laws are passed, provisions and appropriations are made, not from the standpoint of their value to the nation, but because of what they con- tribute to some personal or sectional interest. The United States is by its very contour a maritime nation. It's enormous coast-line bor- ders on three seas. Its marine, both Naval
 and Merchant, should be its supreme concern
 yet the United States Navy but for which the country would long since have been at the mercy of predatory nations, and the American Marine, the vital necessity of which was dem onstrated in the World War, have always been fought by the provincial Interior. Selfish inland interests have begrudged the existence of the very instruments of their existence. The nations funds have been drafted upon for local benefits at the cost of the safety of the
