CITY GIVEN
CONGRESS
HELP
House District Committee
Drafts Bills to Provide
Funds-Their Views.

The retention of Conrad Syme
as special counsel to the Public
Utilities Commission, to handle
the important public utility cases
now pending in the local courts,
will be given the almost unani-
nous support of the House. Dis
trict Committee members, it was
assured today.
It is the opinion of majority
of members of the committee
that a special appropriation
should be made to retain Syme,
at least until the completion Of
the cases.
Bills Being Prepared.
Congressman Frederick N. Zihl-
man of Maryland, is preparing a
bill which will not only provide for
the retention of Syme, but which
will go further and create the office
of a peoples counsel.
Congressman Oscar E. Keller of
Maryland, is prepared to introduce
q bill, in case that of Zihlman's is
insufficient, to provide for the re-
tention of Syme at an increased
salary, and to make him independ-
ent of the influence of District
officials.
Congressman Clarence j. Mcleod
of Michigan, a member of the Dis
trict Committee, today stated that
he is emphatically in favor Of re-
tanning Syme, at least for the dur
alton Of the utilities case fight.
1T is most unfortunate that this
matter should have been dropped
without q definite conclusion OF
the case one way or another" he
stated.
Should Have Experts.
"The District of Columbia should
at all times have on it's staff quail
fled men who can handle such
cases as this. If this official is
needed and the cases of this nature
cannot be handled by the present
force an additional office should be
created.
cit should not be necessary to
employ special counsel for case
of this kind. If Conrad Syme is
the man who is fitted for this case
an appropriation should be made to
enable him to complete the prose
cution.
ct would be waste of the worst
kind for Congress to permit the
dropping of this official and to COM
pei the corporation counseps office
or other legal advisors to go into a
study Of the matter to complete it"
FavOrmed By BlantOn.
Appointment Of Conrad Syme as
corporation counsel, to handle the
local courts. if he is better fitted
ent corporation counsel, is favored
ton of Texas.
81 have never been in favor of
employing anybody to do the work
Blanton stated. 1.-THE District Is
supplied with counsel to look after
all such matters. He should per-
form his duty.
IF he doesn't he should be re-
moved and someone who will per-
form the duty put in his place. IF
he isn't qualified he has no business
holding his position. If he is quail
fled. he ought to perform"
Congressman Blanton stated that
he felt it is unfortunate the utilities
cases should be left in their present
predicament. He stated that he is
in favor of having the best counsel
obtainable for the protection of the
interests of the people in this case.

THE MOTION PICTURE VAMP.
1 love the motion picture vamD
who struts across the screen;
She vampe and smiles, and uses WAless
That make the men look green.
She fOndly puffs her cigarette,
And breaks @ loving heart,
She's not the type that men forget,
She trluEnphs In her art.
1 love the motion picture vamp,
She surely treats 'em rough,
She takes q shelI, and in q week.
She makes him yell enough"
Her gowns arc really stunning.
And her eyes are gay and green.
She's cute and queer and cunning,
1 love the motion picture vamp,
She couldn't make me sore,
If she should start, to break my heart,
I'D only cry for more.
Oh. ROdOIph were that 1 were you,
A handsome movie star
So that the vamps would vamp me, too,
You're sure in luck. you are.

British Papers Comment
 On Taking German Loan

London, Oct. 16-Tha remarkable success achieved in floating the British portion of the German loan yesterday forms the chief topic this morning for all the financial editors, who agree thatfhe 100000 pounds was probably subscribed five times over. Some report that it was com- monly estimated in the money mar ket yesterday that the British slice had been covered 10 times.
 This eagcrness 10 subscribe is re- garded as especially noteworthy in view of the existence of consider able sentimental aversion to lending money to Germany, and the fact that this had no adverse effect is attributed in some quarters to pro- found faith in the Dawes plan as a means of rescuing Europe from her troubles.

 Editor New Britain Herald":
 Dear Sir:
 At town meeting held in the town hall, Berlin, last evening, resolution was presented that a com- mittee be appointed on the advisa- bility of reassessing town property in Berlin. The only people who are opposed 10 such a resolution are people who put in the tax list at $S,000 to $4,0o0 and ask about S16.- GOO for their property
 As 8 taxpayer in Berlin, I, al least, am fair enough so have my property reasSeSsed and l believe that it is about time that some of the moss-backs stepped aside in favor of progress, so that the town may get cut Of the old run.
 "Why have a matter of such i'm portanCe to the town tabled until March l, when the resolution only asks that a committee be appointed as to the adyisabiity of having an expert called in. This matter should be disposed of at the earliest possible opportunity, so that work on town map and rcassessment could be started next spring.

 In the Convention, the Juneau crowd, who are by the way the smartest of the lot, allowed the Ket- chikan bunch and others to work and sweat over the memorial to Congress to such an extent that when the boat came to take them back to their homes, the Organic Act was still "unrevealed" to our astute J. c. Barber.
 Accordingly the outsiders appoint ed a committee to "draft" an Or ganic Act The Juneau bunch did and made Juneau the Port of Entry. It would seem to anybody but a real hog that the Port of Entry should be the Port of Entry, which would mean Ketchikan. Imagine Port of Entry 300 miles inside of the real port of entry.
 You will find that there are other reasons why the crowd that now con trols the larger cities want to send a special representative to Wash ington to present the matter "most effectively to Congress" We are opposed to the appointment of any person by the city councils, because first, they are controlled, secondly,

 Will the veteran H. H. Ross be returned from Fairbanks? As time goes on, we have learned to esteem this worthy member. We thought he had the interests of his own di- vision so much at heart during the last session that he missed a chance or two to help Alaska generally; but that, we now think, could be easily remedied. And if the good citizens of the first division fail to give him the support for his good measures, we deserve to get kicked.
 When we talked to John Wilson of Nome last, he said he did not think he would run for the legisla- ture again Because it was no use." It is a pity that good men get dis couraged or that good men refuse to vote merely because of that spirit of "what's the use. We need mer like Wilson in the legislature.
 It is too bad that the Territory might be deprived of the services of E. M. Policy. He is too busy "col- lecting taxes" at $250.00> per month and expenses to bother about filing, so we are told. That has been our principle objection against giving lu- crative jobs to members of the legis- lature, they get so satisfied to serve the public on pay that they thereaf- ter refuse to sacrifice themselves by allowing the people to place them ill the legislature at $15 per day. That job is too short and election costs too much.

Forecasts On The Neat
 Primaries

We are told that H. R. Shepard who played the Pioneer" racket dur ing the last election, is going to run again. We wonder if that fine or Ger will allow "poor old Shep" to work the sympathy gag again.
 We have been trying to get Perry Hern, of Skagway, to file for the lower House, but Perry doesn't like to. We suppose if he does file the Hon. Ashley will tell the world that Perry is "bolshevik and social ist, and some people are just enough afraid of names so that they will declare Perry an undesirable citizen.
 "Bolshevik" "Rule by the Ma jority"- is the difference? We for one, refuse to be scared by mere names, nor do we admit that good word in Russian that means "rule by the majority" in United States, must be an epithet of disgrace mere ly because some people do not like Russians.
 Some people think we are opposed to Shepard because he sponsored the literacy bill. Far from it. We op- pose him because we are opposed to having our laws made by common drunks. We cannot overlook his last drunken spree when he went into the
