DEBUTANTE LEGISLATION
Next week the Territorial legis

Next week the Territorial legisla- ture starts grinding out laws for those of us left at home. Not that we need any laws, but it is quite fash ionable among debutante legislators to introduce some bill during the ses- sion in order to show their constitu- ents they are live ones and are look ing after our interests. It is an ill day whose low descending sun does not see at least one bill introduced designed to place it's framer in the hall of fame. During long and ab- stemious life we have never recorded any legislator holding down his job without letting the hens scratch up the flower beds To be perfectly can- did, we might state that our idea of an efficient legislator is one who is elected, but is too ill to attend the sessions
 The Territorial legislature has been in session since 1913, and during these II years several hundred bills have been placed on the statute books. One or two are so important that once in a while some unfortunate is convict ed of violating them. The others are dead letters, never heard of, and used something like spite fence, on rare occasions. There is no doubt that Alaskans who came to the Territory in 1898 and previous, suffered great hardships by the paucity of laws. How they lived and loved and had their be- ing is hard to understand, but some of them became so discontented they have remained here from p to 40 years, and will probably remain until they are legislated out
 To be serious, we have too many laws enacted and too much legisla- tion. Take the state of Washington, for instance: the legislators there have enacted laws covering every pos sible subject, including the size a sheet must be on ones bed; and re- gently attempted to enact a law com polling the taxpayers of the State to buy seed wheat for the poor farmers of the State. With seed wheat at S2 a bushel and several thousand farm CTS too busy getting their touring cars in shape for the seasons activities, the bill would have bourne down heav- fly on the States treasury Fortu

Alaskans who are intending to join the stampede to the Siberian gold fields should pause and consider be- fore buying their ticket Under the Soviet regulations, but 5000 rubles can be taken out of the field by any one prospector, and the ruble. at the present time is worth but little more than the German mark. Added to this will be taxes, licenses and the other thousand and one petty gratis practic- ed by the Reds on foreigners who try to develop the resources of the coun- try. To cap all, ones life is of very little value in Siberia, the Soviet gov ernment practicing ley fuego of the Mexicans, without the opportunity of their prisoners being footloose and free. Alaska has much gold placer ground undeveloped and there are as good fields lying dormant in the Ter ritory as have as yet been discovered. It might be better to stop at home

nately, Governor Hartley vetoed the proposition.
 We now have laws by the score telling us what we must not do and charging us for not doing it. We can not eat, drink, dress or indulge in pro- miscuous conversation, without we are legislated into it. The length of time one must work is provided by stat ute, as we'll as who shall work. Our recreation is censored from baseball to moving pictures. Laws control our destinies and actions are firmly fixed as those of the celestial planets.
 Are we any better for this multi plicity of laws? Are the people as contented and prosperous? Are jobs as plentiful and the wage as good as before we were legislated out of the cradle and into the grave?
 We will bet years subscription to this great family journal that the an swer is No! People are becoming too spineless and dependent upon legis- lation to fix the orbit in which they swing. They are uneasy until told what to do and how to do it. They mill around from coast to coast with no settled ideas as to what they want or where they are going.
 If the coming session of the Terri torial legislature passes without some additional tax being placed upon our people, they may consider themselves fortunate. And there is no such thing as luck

EIGHT REELS
KING OF IRAQ DECIDES
 HALF PAY WILL SUFFICE

BAGDAD, Feb. 2S.-King Feiaul of Iraq is trying to teach his subjects to practice self-dental and in order to cut state expenses, has offered to forego half the monthly allow ance to which he is entitled under the civil list He has taken this step on learning the true conditions of the Iraq treasury which suffers from a serious deficit.
 One Arabic newspaper, while thank ing Feisul for this acknowledgement of the country's financial difficulty suggested that the leading officials might copy the kings excellent ex- ample. While such a course is high ly probable, there can be no doubt that further cuts will have to be made in the expenditure of the gov ernment on salaries and allowances.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 2S.- Democratic senators at a conference here today decided to back the rivers and harbors bill unitedly, hoping to secure it's passage before adjournment of Congress.

One never-failing source of legisla- tion which might be called to the at- tention of the Territorial body is that of an additional tax on the canneries.
