CHANGE IN PRIMARY LAW

Yesterdays dispatches from Juneau state that a bill has been introduced in the Legislature by Representative Watson of Fairbanks, repeating the sections in the primary law providing for preferential vote for Governor and the election of a territorial com mitteeman.
 Both bills are absurdly useless and should never have burdened the stat ute books in the first place. The gov ernor of Alaska is appointed by the President, and up to the present time these appointments have been politi- cal patronage and have been made from the ranks of men outside of the Territory. How useless then, to vote on candidate for governor when we have absolutely to say as to who he shall be. Alaska has been fortunate in getting good, honest, conscientious men to govern it's affairs, but there A-~S NA" OSDAi oAi Oppol lOl a miscarriage Of politics.
 The election of National Commit. teeman was another ill-advised piece of legislation, as the Republican and Democratic parties have never con- ceded these appointments to the pub- lie at large, the delegates being nam- ed by the National Committee, after a thorough investigation of their fit ness for the position and their loyalty to the party. How, then can the Re- publicans or Democrats of Alaska elect men to fill these positions who are not in accord with the ideals of party politics? And when they are elected, how are we to compel the parties to accept these men? It can't be done. and to vote for them is only waste of time.
 By all means let us get some of these useless laws off our statute books, and exercise vigilance that no more are passed

AIRPLANE VERSUS BATTLEsHIP

Is the airplane superior to the bat tleship as an arm of defense or is it only supplementary. That is pri- marlly the question involved in the somewhat hectic controversy with which the nation has been regaled. Incidental to the discussion is the de- motion of Brigadier General Mitchell, one of the greatest living authorities on airplane defense. General Mitchell has convinced the superiority of the airplane to all who has read his arti- cles in the Saturday Evening Post, but he has defied his superior officer in do- ing so

thousand ton cruisers leads to the con- clusion that he regards the present balance of power between the army and the navy, with aircraft as vital auxiliary of each, as expressing the correct national policy. Incidentally, the President has sealed down the building program to reduce the imme- diate cost from ss0,OOO,OOO to $3O,OOO,- 900. but this was in line with his idea of economy and has no bearing on the controversy.
