Pooling Congressmen
ARTICLE NUMBER TWO

Did you ever hear of MT. Herbert Hoover's asking Congress to make an honest investigation of Alaska's fisheries? He talks loudly about trying to save the fisheries of Alaska and of making certain personal Investigations "on the ground' But does anybody know what informal tion he did get, with whom he talked, what the testimony was? Is there any public record that can be produced in evidence?
 Congress is spending millions of dollars in trying to find out how many millions of dollars were stolen last year and the year before Here in Alaska we have condition in which the most gigantic steal is going on right under the nose of public officials; furthermore, the public officials directly responsible, being the tools and creatures of the robbers, dare not tell the pub- lie the truth.
 Hearings are had in Washington which are

Ted Grosh of Arizona was killed by William B. Ward, a negro. The negro was sentenced to death, and now H. Grosh, aged father of the murdered man, wishes to spring the trap with his own hands, hang the negro that killed his son. "There is no objection" says MT. Simms, head of the Arizona prison. If the father is made happy by killing the murderer that's all right, probably.
 But if you should read that an Apache Indian had requested the right to HANG ANOTHER Apache you would say, "Just like savage."- Brisbane.

Angoon, died on March 23rd last, just one week after her siX-year-old boy died.
 There ale few leaders here and there who inspire the Natives to a more noble effort, who by their example show them that there is peace and happiness in living for others.
 Samuel G. Johnson and his wife are two Native Americans who have blazed the way in the town of Angoon. Both of these were students of the Sheldon Jackson School at Sitka. They saw it was good for them to be together, so they mar ried, and moved to the home of Samuel in An gOon. There they have labored in the church and in the village encouraging people to reach onward and upward
 In these days, when the papers are full of the so-called dangers of the solid Indian bloc, 1t would be well for the most hysterical to journey around and with their eyes how large communities of people live The town of Angoon is almost unhea1d of, and yet about 200 people live there. The floors are clean the food clean, the children are clean and generally healthy. The parents are struggling to keep their children Tn school The council have even gone to the extent of imposing fine on any parent who takes child out of school without the perrnis- sion of the council.
 Here is a town in which every single person is producer of wealth. This term is used to distinguish between the middle men or the non producer All of these people ultimate .Sumers.
 These people have no Territorial or federal peace officers of any kind. They cost the Terri tory nothing. They are not even allowed post office because it happens that the cannery two miles away has postOffice in the summer time.
 Producers of wealth, ultimate consumers these the real benefactors of Alaska, these are the real payers of taxes. These are entitled to repre- sentatiOn in government.
 In large measure, the progress of this town of Angoon is due to Mrs. Samuel c. Johnson She is gone. Her book is closed. But she will live on in the lives of those who knew her.

Primary Returns

The Progressive or Labor candidates seem to have won a complete victory in the Republican primaries. In the general election, great many voters who registered this time as Republicans, will vote the Democratic ticket.
 Fishermen, miners, working men, the small business man must remember that our victory is not complete until after the November election. November 4th is the date.
 The following men are your candidates, pledged to protect your interests There is great danger in scratching:
 Dan Sutherland, for Delegate to Congress;
 John Rustgard, for Attorney General;
 F. J. Hunt, for Territorial Senator;
 William D. Grant, for Representative;
 c. B. Ferguson for Representative;
 Perry M. Hern, for Representative;
 William L. Paul, for Representative.
 We stand for Alaska for Alaskans in real sense; abolishment of the fish trap; tax on nonresident fishermen; the Controller Bill; Elec tion of all principal Territorial officers; decent workmen's compensation law; fair and equal tax on all industry without favoritism; abolish ment of the J. R. Heckman scheme of closing the fishing season on August 20th, this last as being unfair to cannerymen and fishermen, being in the interests of traps, and not correct con- servation measure for 'If you breed late fish, you will get late fish.

General Assembly
OF Georgia Opens
Proposal to Increase Governors Term
To Four Years Among First
Measures Introduced

ATLANTA, June 25-A majority
of members of both houses were in
their seats when the General Assembly
of Georgia met in annual SESSION here
today. Both houses were convened
promptly on the hour.
In the House, two-thirds of the Rep
resentatives were in attendance when
Speaker Neill raped for order.
Swap Gallows for Chair
Meeting in annual session today the
General assembly Immediately was
faced with legislative proposals for in
creasing the term of the Governor to
four years and the substitution of an
electric chair for the gallows in this
state.
Tax reform legislation, considered
at the 1928 sessions and various new
bills that would provide for biennial
sessions of the General Assembly re-
apportion and reduce the memberships
OF both branches and fix four years as
the term of office for state officials,
making the Governor Ineligible for re-
election, doomed tonight as the out
standing issues of the 1924 legislature
which convenes here tomorrow.
Tax reform is being urged by the pre-
sent administration and is understood
to have considerable backing in both
the upper and lower houses. 1t is ex-
pected that the Governors message, to
be delivered at joint sssieon, will deal
with the Importance and urgency of
the tax question, probably containing
some recommendations for disposal of
a bill providing for repeal of the tax
equalization law now in the finance
committee. The Governor probably
will speak on Thursday.
There is much sentiment among leg
islators already here for the biennial
session. Proponents of the measure
point out the economic features oil
such a law. However, the re-appor-
tioning measure is vrey much more in
| doubt. While the measure is being dis.
cussed informally there was no direct
voicing of opinion as to merits of its
provisions. 1t would provide for a to-
tai of twelve senator's, one from each
congressional district in the state, and
forty-four representatives one from
each of the senatorial districts. The
Reproducing would be made effec-
tive at the expiration of the present
term of office of the legislators

With Formalities Out of Way, Real
Fireworks Are Expected to Begin

Madison Square Garden, June Is
Moving slowly but surely toward its
real business, the Democratic Nation
al Convention today passed through
the second preliminary stage of Or
gan. cation.
Meeting at an earlier hour than

perfection of it's permanent organiza-
ton headed by Senator Thomas J.

investigator.
Nominations Are Begun
Madison Square Garden, June Is
The Democratic National Convention
today perfected its organization, gave
a rousing reception to the perman-
ent chairman, Senator Walsh, OF
Montana, and then moved swiftly
along to the first stage of its fight over
the presidential nomination.
Amid floor demonstration that be-
spoke the resoluteness of the coming
struggle, the names of the first OF
a score of presidential candidates
were placed formally before the con-
vention.
Johnson dominates Underwood
New York, June 25.'The demand of
Senator Oscar w. Underwood, of Ala
bama, at the Democratic national con-
vention to condemn by name the polit-
ical activities of the Ku Klux Khan was
voiced to the convention today by For
ney Johnson, of Alabama, as the key
note of his speech placing Mr.. Under
woods name before the convention for
the presidential nomination.
No bare references to the constitu-
ton or the bill of rights, actually men
TONED in the Klan oath, is adequate in
this connection" Mr.. Johnson declared
"The bill of rights are limitations only
upon the state and federal govern
ments and not upon private conspiracy.
That is why the candidate of my peo-
pie has insisted upon plain words"
Phelan dominates McAdoo
New York, June U.s. William G..
McAdbo was placed in nomination for
the presidency today by former SEN
ator James D. Phelan, of California,
with the declaration that he is the
"natural leader of progressive thought
and achievement"
'"This year demands the return of
triumphant democracy" said Mr. Phe-
Ian, "the progressives of the nation
look to the Democratic party for
their leader. Shall we give him to
them? There is room in America for
but one reactionary party, and the
Republicans have pre-empted that field.
The party's chance for success depends
upon its choice for candidate for the
presidency of this man"
