PRESIDING OFFICERS

1t does not occur to the ordinary citizen how important it is to the public to have fair-minded and hon. est presiding officers in their Leg islature. An incident occurred in the last Legislature that we'll illus trates what we mean.
 Speaker Wilcox was in the chair when Representative H. H. Ross of Fairbanks asked unanimous consent of the House to make the opinion of Attorney General Rustgard part of the daily journal and spread upon the minutes thereof. Unanimous consent was given. But when the record appeared the next day the opinion of MT. Rustgard was not contained therein, for the reason that his opinion was contrary to the wishes of MT. Wilcox and his friends
 There was no misunderstanding as to the wishes of the House at the time Mr. Ross made his request, for the Assistant Secretary of the House went to the Attorney Gen. erals Office and secure an addi- tional copy of the opinion upon his statement that it was for the printer. And thus it is that dishonest pre- siding officers like Speaker Wilcox, working in the interests of the gang, are able to pull the wool over the eyes of fair-minded citizens.

THE STEEL TRUST
Experience Proves Prohibition Good
 for Country
 United States Steel Corporation,

Unlted States Steel COTpOration,
 New York, July 8. Editor Manufacturers Record:
 Since giving you an opinion, which was published about three years ago, 1 have not changed nor modified my views in regard to Prohibition. 1 am more and more satisfied that the prohibition legislation should have been passed and continued without amendment, and that it should be more rigidly imposed. I am also satisfied from experience it is a good thing for this country.

The Alaska fisherman., 1925-09-15

At the apex of the gold rush thirty years ago, Alaska was com paratively populous. But today, Dawson, once a city of 10000, has GOO. At Valdez we found the key to Alaska's problems. There we found a city, looking like a ghost on the shore, it's streets lined with deserted dwellings, crumbling to ruin. These were the dwellings, of the seekers for gold, and who, hav- ing found it, scurried out of Alaska to spend it elsewhere"
 with wealth at their backs, peo- pie of the seacoast can not even support themselves. Their fuel, their clothes, yes, their very food, they bring in ships from the states"
 Canneries Lead Industries
 "The canneries of Alaska, yielding annually over $6O,OOO,OOO, are Alas ka's most thoroughly developed re- sources, according to MT. Sorenson. But workers in the canneries flock back to the states when winter hears, taking with them their money, while the towns, showed in, half starved, listen over the radio to the world outside.
 "The sole immediate hope for Alaska lies in her mines. Judge Bunnell, president of the Alaska School of Mines at Fairbanks, es- tablished this school three years ago with the one purpose of training searchers for gold he told Sorenson, but after all these months there are but twenty-three students.
 Greater Than klOndike
 "Far greater strikes remain un- covered in these hills right now," Judge Bunnell declared, "than ever were made on the Klondike or the Yukon. Armies of prospectors are what we need, men to SCOUT the hills and definitely locate the treas ures."
 Copper, Sorenson learned while there, is the second great resource of Alaska. The Cordova mine yield averages 80 per cent pure, while coal and oil are now receiving more attention. Seepages of oil are ire quently found, but although the Standard Oil company spent $3,OOO,- 900 in drilling, no great flow has ever resulted.
 "Most of the coal is of low grade, closely approaching peat. But the seaports bring in coal from the states. Silver, tin and lead are worked in a lesser degree, and mar ble is found on the Prince of Wales island.
 Will Supply Pulp
 "Within decade the states must look to Alaska for her pulp supply" said Sorenson. "That will help

SIDNEY CHARLES

In times past the Juneau Empire and their followers have quoted the editorials of MT. Charles on various subjects, because, not being of the gang and yet being of their opinion, his editorials carried great weight. For instance, he believes with the gang in a literacy test that would exclude all who disagree with him and them. He also believes that fish traps are here to stay and there fore that nothing should be done.
 We wonder, however, if the gangs newspapers will reprint his editorial in the Petersburg Herald of August 14th issue, entitled "Must Organize" If you will follow out his logic you will see how right we are in asking all those who have common interests to join together to fight for their common purposes. We are afraid that MT. Charles will be known as "bolshevik."
 MUST ORGANIZE"
 The halibut fishermen and boat owners must organize or else con- tinue to be the helpless victims of a speculative market. Another i'm portant thing! Until they do so, they will have no voice in pending legislation and rules for governing the industry from which they make their living. Alone they can do nothing. United they can accom- plish a great deal. They can then make their needs known and carry weight with chamber of commences, and with tariff commissions and with Congress-. Otherwise, regulations will be largely dictated by cold stor age men and buyers and those who mainly seek profits out of the halibut and fishing industry without any re- gard to the interests of those who catch the fish.
 Just for an instance-halibut fish ermen are a unit to keep the Port of Prince Rupert open for individual fishermen. The Juneau Commercial Club, it is understood, has taken no action in the matter. The Ketchikan Commercial Club is known to be Tn favor of having Prince Rupert closed to individual fishermen. The Peters, burg Commercial Club was the only organized voice from Alaska to be represented before the tariff com mission hearing.
 Now stop and think. what the eff feet might be if the fishermen of Southeastern Alaska voiced their needs through an organization to all of the chambers and to the tariff board, rather than through one lone chamber, and that chamber opposed by the powerful interests of Ketch ikan."

Consistent Display
Of Flags Sought

Plans for the uniformity of flag
display on holidays and public oc-
casions have been made over the
country, and a movement to obtain
this is underway in Gardiner with
the official sanction of Benjamin e.
Smith Post No. 4, American Legion.
This is in line with a resolution
adopted by the national convention
of the American Legion in st. Paul
last summer. The plans are novel
and have proven satisfactory in the
the communities in which they have
been adopted.
The men who are working on the
proposition in Gardiner are c. E.
Ramey, and William NJ. Blake and
are assisted by B. H. White. and S.
d. Monaghan, officers of the local
post. In addition to working for the
uniformity of flag display the men
will endeavor to eliminate the use of
hunting as decorations on buildings.
Uniformity of display is obtained
through the use of staffs of uniform
length, and flags of uniform size on
the outer edges of the curbs in the
business section. The company rep
resented by the men who are work.
ing here furnishes everything re-
quired for the decorating, including
holder for the flag pole, which is
of white pine. and twelve feet tall;
fast color flag, six feet by four
feet; and quarter inch rope for the
flag. The flag pole is one and one
half inches in diameter. A similar
outfit except for the holder is de-
signed for use on lawns in front
of homes. The holder is fur
nished but is different from those
used on the curbs. The flag
and pole is furnished, and the place
cut into the sidewalk for a nominal
sum. 1t affords uniform and
pleasing decoration with the flags
all flying at the same height above
the curb.
The Legion is anxious to have all
the business houses and others in
the city take on the display idea, and
when the next holiday comes to have
such a display in recognition of the
day. Business houses on Water
Street. as well as houses in the resi-
Dental section will be visited by the
above mentioned representatives in
an effort to introduce this move
ment in Gardiner.

Baptist Service

The reopening of the Baptist chapel
after the recent repairs and the re-
Stunning of Endeavor meetings after va
cation was observed by a special serv-
ice Wednesday evening. Although the
program was hastily prepared the at
tendance was good and the service was
interesting and impressive. The adj
dress of the evening was by Rev. A.
w. Young of Bryant Pond, who told
the story of his conversion and of full
restoration of his voice in answer to
prayer after having heen unable to
speak aloud for four years. The adj
dress was strong testimony to the
grace of God to save and the power of
faith to heal. The hearty singing
was made more effective by two solos
rendered by Mrs. A. w. Young and
Mrs. c. L. Young. Interesting refer
ence to the Worship in the chapel in
years past was made by Mrs. Stella L.
