vOMEN VOTERS TRACKED

During the last parliamentary ses- sion in Italy, the story is told, the dictators publicity bureau spread the information over the world that MussOlini had enfranchised the wo- en. An examination of the decree showed it was full of ''jokers." As a matter of fact it granted to a lim- ited number of Italian women the right to vote in municipal elections.
 Now, before they. have had a rhance to cast ballot, they are to be deprived of even that poor pri- vilege. A fascist decree was issued recently abolishing all municipal elections.
 Under this scheme, the dictator will name the rulers of every city

WE WANT NO MUSSOLINI

In a Labor Day address at Madi- son, Wisconsin, Secretary Frank Morrison of the American Fedora tion of Labor said:
 ''The insidious attacks on the le- gislative branch of our government is stab at the heart of democracy. Note the slurs at Congress by news papers whose record is 100 percent defense of privilege. Note the at tempt to picture the Senate as a do-nothing, talkative body. This Ii the hope that free forum will be changed to a controlled machine where legislation can be damned through at the will of the few, and where open discussion will be limit ed, as in the House of Representa- tives during the last session.
 'TheMussolini idea of government --or lack of government-is de- tended in the interest of efficiency. There is no question that it will be efficient as far as privilege is con- cerned, and that the few can satisfy their wants because the people will not be permitted to be informed.
 "The man who slurs our Congress insults the American people. Our national Representatives and Sena- tors reflect, as a rule, the prevailing sentiment of their constituents. If

In Salt Lake City I met a friend who expressed indignant surprise that the Indians-9O percent Hitter ate--were permitted to vote in Alas ka. And he rather thought the gov ernment was making a signal mis- take in appropriating four to five hundred thousand dollars a year for the education of the Natives, when such little good was accom- plished.
 Endeavoring to convince him of his own colossal mistake with re- ference to illiteracy, and asserting
 that over 90 percent, of the 800 Ma tives who voted in the Frst Division
 are educated and welt qualified to
 exercise the privilege the govern
 ment acords them, he insisted on
 differing with me. Then he produced
 as his authority a copy of a report
 made last March, by Chairman Cur ry of the Territories Committee, in
 the House, On the Alaska bill. And this startling and most unbelievable statement that he read:
 Your committee is Informed in a telegram from Mayor J. J. Con- nors and MT. Shattuck, president of the Chamber of Commerce of Juneua that a careful check of the returns of the 1924 general election showed a minimum ;of HOO Indian votes in that judiciaal division, and that 90

sLUSH FUNDS

Senator James A. Reed, of Mis- souri, chairman of the primary election "slush fund" Investigating committee has announced that he will not be a candidate for reelec- tion to the Senate in 1928. He has served for eighteen vars and de- sires to resume the more lucrative law practise.

  But closed doors are not enough to hide an editor who gets so damnably plffiicated as to fall of his chair and unable to get back on to the chair That part, even at that, might be overlooked for the "sanctity of the ballot box"
 AS Americans we live and as Am orleans we participate in the affairs of government. The right to dictate government is not that of Canadians who secure citizenship on the evil dence of dead men, or of men whose shady records are halitosis to de- cent citizenship. But such is the way of political parties in Alaska whose whole creed is hate and dom ination through their own particu- lar brand of politics. Perhaps, if we had few Jim Reeds in Alaska the brazen affrontery of peddlers of slush funds would be more circum- spect in their advertising of salar- ies of campaign dangers and other henchmen and perhaps the cam paign insofar as certain newspapers in Alaska would be much less en- thusiastic.

OBSERVATIONS BY WILL A. STEEL
WHERE DUTY RESTS

Secretary of Commerce Herbert
 Hoover made quite a hit at the Se-
 attle Stadium on the evening of August 21. He emphatically endors-
 ed the Columbia River irrigation project, before an audience of 5000, and incidentally he paid a high tri-
 bute to the worth and leadership of Senator Wesley L. Jones, who intro.
 duced the speaker of the evening. The Secretary stressed one point. that was particularly encouraging to an Alaskan Republican Senatorial nominee, who strongly favors coor- dination and believes that Territori-
 al affairs should be administered by. elective Alaskans and not by Fed
 a:al officials responsible only to pro- tect Washington. After declaring that the regulation of utility rates to protect the public is responsibil- 1 itv of the State governments, sec
 retary Hoover said:
 Coordinate federal, state and To-. cal governments and private inter ests-in the program for the full utilization of the waters of the na-
 tion's rivers, streams and lakes, for Irrigation, power, navigation and flood control"
 While he did not express the thOt in the same words, he sought to- convey the idea expressed by Presi cent Coolidge at Williamsburg, Va. on May 15. when he said: The federal government ought to resist; the tendency to be loaded up with duties which the states should per-, form It does not follow that be-, cause something ought to be done, the national government ought to.
