HELP THE PIONEERS

What will the 1925 session of the Territorial legislature do for the pio- neer? The past year the pension has been decreased to point where it is nearly impossible to live on it, and there is no relief in sight, unless a larger appropriation is made at the next session. Many legislators are said to be in favor of eliminating the pension entirely, thus forcing the aged dependent to enter the home at Sit ka.
 We believe this policy to be radical ly wrong in that it costs the Territory more per capita to keep man in the home, according to the Superintend- ent's report, than it does to allow him to remain in an environment desired by the person affected. It is true that the home gives the inmate more care and attention than he would re- ceive in his own cabin, but many pio- neers are satisfied with things as they are, and wish to remain near friends and scenes of their earlier days. Their wishes should be grant ed.
 But there is no question but that the pension should be raised to a point where it will give the receipent comfort instead of poverty.
 If it costs man $60 to S75 mo. at the home the territory should save $25 at least by raising the pension to $50, thus eliminating nurse hire and medical attention furnished at the home. Not only as matter of econ omy but for sentimental reasons, the Territory cannot afford to see its pio- neer residents suffer in their old age These hardy trail blazers at one time opened up the Territory for later gen. erations and proved, often with theil flesh and blood, that Alaska was g habitable, prosperous country, able to raise anything and with it's resources ready for the taking.
 If the cost is more to maintain a man at the home, give him pension slightly less and allow him to stay where he chooses.
 The past year has shown that nc matter what amount is voted by the legislature it will be opposed by cer-

LEASING LAW

President Armstrong, of the South western Alaska Blue Fox Association at Kodiak, has recently taken up with Delegate Sutherland, Dr. E. w. Nell son, and Mr. E. P. Walker, both of the Biological Survey, the question of the undesirability of the present lcaS ing .aw for the so-called twelve leas able islands that are leased from the Biological Survey.
 One of the members of this Asso- ciatlon who has held fox island un- der inc Biological lease as applies to the twelve leasable islands for the past five years, is having difficulty in renewing his lease. The leasee had no intimation that he would have any difficulty in releasing until about the time his lease expired. He now has several thousand dollars worth of property on the island, and should he not be able to get a renewal of his lease he will be forced in a very lim- ited time to remove such property as he can under the conditions and get off the island. It is not feasible nor reasonable to expect that one could under forced conditions of this kind remove all of the live foxes in less time than three years.
 President Armstrong also strongly emphasized the need of an equitable and uniform method of leasing for all of the islands lying outside the Nat ional Forest reservations. He rec ommends that leasing law be enact ed similar to the one used by the for est service.

TIMES HAVE CHANGED

Mama loves papa and papa loves the hired girl or his peroxide neigh bor. This is the cause of about forty per cent of the divorces flooding the country, the remaining sixty per cent being incompatability, bad cooking and general cussedness. Our grand parents and forebearers in the old days never bothered about divorces. The either trimmed up the argument with tomahawy or club, or left for Texas, where females were scarce and competent. Today the flapper weds, divorces and remarries ad in- finitum, hiring their lawyers by the year and taking their husbands by the week-a good lawyer being worth more than a poor husband. One of the reasons for this is the giddy pace at which the world is travelling. It requires more actual cash per night in the present age to secure a few moments diversion than was spent by the Confederate Army in a spring campaign. The jazz hound jazzeth the gentle flapper and she hicks his roll. Several other hicks are placed in it by late suppers and gasoline ramblings, and the outcome is that he either hunts cheaper girl or a better paying job.
 Domestic felicity and a crimped pocketbook like the lion and the lamb, do not lie down together. If they do they have to be safety-pinned and re- laundered ever so often. A ten dol- lar pair of shoes and drug store complexion added together equals misery and misery totals divorce.

THE LONG WINTER DAYS just ahead leave taste in the mouth like synthetic buttermilk. Unless our peo- pie get some amusements for the younger generation how can they ex- pect to keep them in Alaska. With the exception of the popular outdoor sport of hustling wood for a herbiver- ous fireplace the young men of Alaska can look forward to a peaceful and unexciting winter.
