JUST ONE EXAMPLE.

To those who refuse to see any benefits arising from the removal of the capital to some point farther north, we would like to cite one ex- pie. For several years past the tax collector for the Bristol bay district has been appointed from the First division. As this job pays nearly S3500 for few months work, we can see no reason why a resident of the Third division should not be appointed to collect Third division taxes. There are many persons who could use the money to advantage, including the editor.
 We believe that political prefer ment should be given to residents of the section where the need for the job arises. We have no fault to find with any resident of the First div1- sion taking these we'll paying jobs, but it would be more equable divi- sion of the spells if little judgment were used in the appointments.

 The question arises as to whether this is not too high a price to pay for the average law. Some laws are worth it. but others are not. And as the passion for legislation increases one wonders how long 1t will be before the device of the Roman emperor, Justinian, who appointed a codifying committee which solved the problem by chucking all but 2OOO laws ever board will have to be adopted by the Territory.

OUR TERRITORIAL PAsTIME

Over 100 bills were passed during the recent session of the Territorial Legislature, and appropriations total ing about million and half dollars were made. It is stated that fifty per cent of these appropriations are for educational purposes, While the Gate way has no fault to find with any sums spent for schools or roads, it does believe that for the number of children of school age expenses are unusually heavy for educational pur- noses. and it is also a firm believer in the theory that the office of Com missioner of Schools should be taken out of politics, and filled by ballot ln- stead of appointment. The recent legislature evidently believed other wise, as it refused to make the office elective, preferring to have it parcel ed out as a political favor
 Many of the laws passed by the re- cent legislature were good laws, but the Territory has rocked along for a number of years with 1O0 less laws than were placed on the books, and up to the past three years its people have been able to sit up and take nourishment.
 The penchant for legislators to pass laws does not affect Alaska alone, but extends all over the States. Dur ing the spring of 1919 35 state legis- latures mapped 13,529 new laws or one law for every three bills in troduced, and it is estimated that some 10000 laws were passed by the states this spring These were in addition to the 800 laws passed by the last congress from 10000 bills introduced. The figures for 1918-19 by states show that North Carolina led with 1131 laws en- acted, while the lowest number was 34 in Montana. Washington passed 209 laws of 600 bills introduced. The cost of this legislation as given by statisticians is from eleven million to twelve million dollars, and a pro- lessor at Brown university estimates that the average cost of each law

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE cotton
market recovered about a cent a
pound of it's recent losses during the
days trading. General business was
restricted by continued uncertainty
as to the showing of tomorrow
government TeporT, but there was
covering by recent sellers and trade
buying on the advance which car
ried the price of, January contracts
up to 33.45c or 100 points net high
er. January closed at 33.43c, with
the general market closing firm at
net advances of 6S to 81 points.
The market opened firm at an adj
Liverpool cables. The English mar
ket was weak early but rallied very
sharply before the local opening,
creating an impression here that the
liquidation of long accounts in LiV-
erpool had been pretty we'll COM
pieted. A similar idea prevailed as
to the technical position of the local
market, which was strong then by
the failure of the early advances to
bring out increased offerings. and
the market ruled very firm during
the afternoon. Business was not
particularly active, but the demand
to cover recent sales. combined with
some scattered rebuying and trade
buying, was sufficient to readily alb
serb further scattered covering and
send prices up to 3410c for Decem-
Der, 33.S0c for March, and Sac for
May, or 80 to 100 points above yes
terday's closing quotations. Last
prices were within a few points of
the best. The December notices is
sued today were estimated at about
10000 bales and led to some scat
tering liquidation, but December
closed 81 points over January COM
pared with rs points at the close.
Reports that the holders=of spot cot
ton in the south were withdrawing
their offerings at the decline prob
ably encouraged the foreign adj
vance when the market also APP
peared to be favorabiy influenced by
O. more optimistic view of the repa-
rations outlook. The main factors,
according to local brokers, however,
were the improved technical position
resulting from the heavy liquidation
of the past 10 days and a belief that
increased estimates of the crop had
reen discounted. According to a
canvass, local cotton exchange mem
bers on the average are looking for
a government estimate of 100000
bales. Exports today, $3.50 bales,
making 2,724,52S so far this season.
Port receipts, 56,41S. U. S. port
stocks, 1,067,010.

NEW YORK COTTON FUTURES
NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS. Dec. 1.-THE price OF
cotton was higher from the opening to-
day as the result of new buying move
ment which developed. to all appearances
on the theory that the reaction from the
peak prices of the season had about spent
itself. Recent short sellers covered in
volume and important bearing for long
account period; the interior bought in a
large way and sent in accounts OF ex-
tremely light bales appearing at the gins
along with its buying orders Highest
prices were made in the last few minutes
of the day, when the list was 80 to ss
points up. Last sales were So to 81 points
up January traded up to 33.S3c and
stood at 3s.31c in its final transaction.
The opening was better in the face of
a poor Liverpool and this first bulge car
ried the market IS to 65 points over the
last sales of yesterday. Advances amount
ed 10 so to IS points before any setbacks
of consequence appeared and they did not
last In the early afternoon there were
reactions of about % points under realiz-
ing buyers of the morning, and little
later similar setbacks occurred on rumors
of private bureau estimates OF 5OS,00O
bales as the November consumption in
this country against $4,000 in October.
but new buying met both recessions and
caused spurts to new high levels for the
day.
About the strongest stage OF the session
came late in the morning following cable
grams from Liverpool to the effect that
London liquidation appeared about conf
pleted and that Manchester was talking
in a more cheerful way.
