ARMY AND NAVY SQUABBLE.

Merry war on paper and by word of mouth is now going on between our Army and Navy. Uncle Sams va liant fighting men, having no common enemy to combat are making lively row among themselves.
 High ranking officers of both serv- ice are rushing into print to defend their various contentious and inas- much as the battle rages principally over aircraft, it may be said that our preparedness plans are literally up in the air" Here are some of the points at issue:
 The Army air force declares it can sink any battleship in few minutes and that it is foolish to build any more capital ships. It also contends that in the recent tests in sinking the uncompleted battleship Washing ton, the Army fliers were handicap ped by unreasonable conditions i'm posed by the Navy which were re- sponsible for the poor showing made by the fliers.
 The Navy resents these aspersions and hints that the Army people are unduly careless in handling the truth The Navy also points out that while the Army fliers got all the credit for the flight around the world it was only through the cooperation of the Navy in establishing bases for oil and supplies that the feat was made possible. As one writer puts it, "The Navy mothered the Army fliers like sukling babes during the flight"
 The taxpayers consolation is de- rived from the fact that the contro- versy may finally develop the truth regarding relative values of various means of national defense and may in the long run prevent waste of mon- ey on antiquated armament.

ALASkA'S LEGISLATIVE SESSION.
(Cordova Daily Times)

And now that the Territorial Legis- lature is about to convene rumOrS come of widely divergent wishes and desires held by the delegations from the different divisions. The First Di- vision contingent consisting of two Senators and three Representatives Party, and one representative who ad- mits to being a democrat, desires nothing much,-merely the taxing of fish traps out of existence, a controller bill which will place all Territorial affairs in the hands of an elaborate machine controlled presumably by themselves, an industrial insurance act which will provide lot more jobs, the abolishing of the school tax. and sundry other measures; the Second division wants S250,OOO for the ex- tension of the tramway recently pur- chased by the. Territory; the Third Division has no particular axe to grind, and the Fourth Division wants s2O0,O00 for it's Agricultural College
 The motives back of the proposed confscatOry tax on fish traps are so plain that all who run may read. Put the traps out of business and the h. dian will get twenty-five cents each for his pink fish. This might work all right if it were not for two fac tors. First the cannery, and second. the Indian. At an increased price for pink fish, how many canneries would operate? If the price of the finished product could be advanced enough to make it profitable, and still pay an increased price for pinks, what assur- ance would the canners have that the Indians would not catch enough fish to meet their monetary needs and then call it season, leaving the canner- ies without raw material The can- ners have been taxed and regulated to point where many of them have been seriously handicapped and addi- tional taxation might force them into bankruptcy. This means a loss to the Territory of about s6OO,OOO a year, or seventy-fve per cent of it's income in, taxes
 AS to the wants of the Second and Fourth Division, the cause is worthy

The elite will probably be shocked by the table manners of the ordinary herd, who will not know a salad fork from a soup tureen, but they will have to grin and resolve to stay out of prison henceforth.

POOLING THE FARMER.

Pursuing the foolish idea that Con- gross can legislate good times for the farmer, three bills now before that body propose to conduct the country's agriculture through government su- pervision.
 These are the McNary- -Haugen bill, the Capper- Williams bill and the Cur tis-Aswell bill. The first provides for an appropri- ation of 200 million dollars and au- thorizes making debts up to a billion, for buying and price-f fixing corpora tion-to be run by politicians, of course.
 The second is a cooperative plan on a gigantic scale, with almost ab- solute power over agriculture-with long list of new government jobs, of course.
 The third provides for a monster marketing board, with large powers -also with thousands of federal en- ployes.
 Farmers are being deceived into a belief that these visionary schemes will make good times for them. Every person of even ordinary intelligence knows that prices must be governed principally by the law of supply and demand.

OUR ANCESTORS

Honoring our parents or other wor- thy forebears is most commendable, but the extremes to which some peo- pie carry their pride of ancestry is somewhat amusing.
 It has been pretty conclusively es- tablished by scientists that acquired characteristics cannot be transmitted to posterity, and we have unlimited instances of worthless offspring from high-class parentage, while on the other hand, many persons born in ob- scurity have made notable successes in life, and, departing left their foot prints on the sands of time.
 The divine right of kings was found ed on ancestry worship, usually be- ginning with some political or mili- tary upstart. The American 400" was founded on the wealth of shrewd, though uncouth traders and schemers of the early days.
 While in some sections the fetish of ancestry is still worshipped, it is becoming out of date and nowadays a man must amount to something to be held in high esteem
 As recent writer has we'll said: 'Humanity's sense of justice would be outraged if descendants of a crim- inal justly hanged, should still lie un- der the infamy of that ancestor. Why, then, should glory. descend to the worthless ancestor of a hero?'

ANCHORAGE DAILY ALASKAN
 AND TIMES CONSOLIDATE

MT. Frank Knight informs The Gate way that the First National Bank of Anchorage, which recently purchased the Anchorage Daily Alaskan, has dis posed of that paper and plant to the Anchorage Daily Times, the merger taking place Saturday afternoon. It is understood that the two plants will be thrown together and the old ma terial in each plant junked, leaving one of the most complete plants in northern Alaska.
 The Alaskan was bought in by a group of Anchorage business men owning the Times. MT. A. Shonbeck is president of the new organization It is reported that Sundays issue was the last of the Daily Alaskan. This leaves Anchorage with but one paper, again, the field having being badly crowded the past year. The Times is one of the best papers this far north and the merger will add to it's prestige

Simply as means of obstructing legislation, a small bore Senator com pelled the reading of more than 100 pages of a bill already printed and on the desks of each Senator. It con- sisted principally in a list of names and figures, to the reading of which no one paid the least attention. This exhibition of pettiness cost the tax payers several thousand dollars in wasted salaries.

From the above it will be seen that unless the revenues are greatly in- creased by additional taxes, and what there is that is not taxed to the limit now, there will be very small mar gin for special appropriations.
 The Agricultural College must be help surely, and the Nome tramway is good thing for Nome, and indi- rectly for the Territory, but we must remember that the funds are limited.
