TWILL MAKE FINE DELEGATE"

We are glad to give publicity to the views of the Marquam supporters for they make votes for Sutherland Tn a recent editorial the Se- ward Gateway, under new management says that '"Thomas A. Marquam * will make a fine delegate. He made very favorable impression upon the people, men and women, in the First Division, according to press reports from that district * From every source in the Territory comes the that the workers, old timers, and business men are Aocking to his banner They convinced he will make an admirable delegate to Congress. Of the ut- most importance is the news emanating from Washington, D. C. to the effect that MT. Mar quam's candidacy is looked upon with favor by every high official"
 The "Press reports" referred to the Ket- chikan Chronicle and the Juneau Empire. The two editors and Tom Marquam would make fine trio and in their sober moments might give utterance to the truth.
 The Thigh officials" referred to purely imaginary unless it refers to Harry Daugherty

THE AtASK1 but introduced the bill to please those attor- neys of Juneau who frequently defend boot leggers Hardy's bill was to make their defense still easier
 Hardy votes he is told to by the Cannery attorney of Juneau and not because he happens to be an assistant cashier of large bank. He voted against the bill to protect our res ident fishermen, and favored those fishermen who make their homes in Oregon and Wash ington.
 Charles 1T. Wilcox, Democrat
 Joseph Murray commanded his forces to elect Wilcox Speaker of the last House, who finished as he started, taking orders from Murray. Will gave three exhibitions of unfairness in his rulings that be equaled anywhere. On two of these occasions, he compelled to change his rulings bcause business could not have been conducted under his rulings. Wilcox voted against the bill to aid the resident fisher of Alaska AFTER he had promised to vote for the bill. His vote had not been solicited and being the last vote cast, he cast the vote that caused its defeat by the vote of to 8. Wilcox voted for the repeal of the Primary Election Laws, for Hardys booze bill, and for large appropriations that later caused an lN- CREASE in the tax rate
 William Sherman of Anchorage
 Sherman is who votes largely accord ing to whom he talks with last. He is too kind hearted to say mo" to a friend. If he had de- termination to stick by his judgment he would make one of the finest legislators that could be sent to Juneau.
 He voted against the bill to tax the non-res ident fishermen who come to his Division and compete with and make it harder for the ident fishermen of his division to earn living According to his vote, Sherman prefers that all fishermen shall live on Puget Sound and only come to the Anchorage district during two months of each summer.

class stenographer, and as such is now very use full to Governor Parks.
 Watson will be remembered largely because he collected two fares for making one trip The Juneau Empire thinks that this form ot gratt is perfectly all right But why stop at only two collections? The Comptroller General ot the United States however said that Watson did wrong and forced him to cough up.
 He was one of Marquam's "three seals" and his greatest happiness in obeying his Masters voice.
 THE MASTER MIND
 The master mind of them all was Joseph Murray. Just why he aligns himself against the just demands of the working men and the fishermen of Alaska is not known. It may be explained in part by statement he once made in 1921 when the fight was hot on the fish blll' His friend said to him, "Joe, you don't want to 20 back home all covered with mud, do you! Murray answered, No; but don't want to go home with my back broken either"
 Murray and Wilcox were the two strongest minds in the House, but of the two, Murray IS the more admirable because Joe Murray IS honest and wages his fight out in the open like a man. while Wilcox is to be pitied.

An Unfair Salary List
Bleach Adyance)

In another column publish an interesting
story about the salary list OF the state Of North
Dakota and we sometimes marvel at the remarkable
progress; salaries have made since we were working
for the dear people before Townley put out of the
running in that line. Prior to 1917 the gOverno!
topped the list of salary drawers but he Is now a
back number, in fact many enicfs of departments
get less pay than men they have under them, while
other subord:nltcs draw two salaries and things
like that.
1t is also notable that the elect those
who have to stand the expense OF campaign and
who are targets for political abuse. are among the
fellows who get the least pay. The appointve ducks
who are at expense to get job, more frequently
han not, fall into snaps that make life worth
living
The situation is in need Of revision No under
strapper should get more pay than his chief who
carries the responsibility the people for the
duct OF his office, and are of the opinion tina,
the salaries paid the underngs is out Of all
proportion to the service rendered and the respon
siby shouldered. Especially is this true in the
educational line.
We have been a worker for the state when a
$4,000 salary considered mighty good and thnl
we know what are talking about. The man
most responsible for his department, to whom the
people look fer efficiency and the safeguarding OF
the public interest, certainly should get more pay
than men who, under him, escape all responsibility
to the people, and maybe hold themselves rcspon
s.ble to and under the orders Of the political
cheftain who got them the job, rather than to the
head OF their department
No business establishment would countenance
such situation for a minute
The state is the biggest business concern VIC have
and there is no reason in the world why it should
be run on the business principles Of a corner pea
nut stand.

Auto Is Fine, Now How About Fuel?

Just now the American public, or that great part
OF it that owns its motor cars, is finding much to
interest it in the annual winter automobile shows
According first returns from early EXHIBITS,
there are the usual number OF radical departures,
sensations" and other more wildly heraded inn
provements. Increased speed seems to be key
note; greatly increased speed, coupled with inn
proved braking Other Improvements there are, OF
course, all the way from body changes to in
genious devices for eliminating the VIGOROUSLY an
noying squeak.
This. of course, is as it should be. We naturally
look for constant improvements in automobiles.
We expect them and get them: the miracles that
the fruit of American ingenuity and production
no longer hold any surprises for us.
But one cannot help propounding a question for
our automotive engineers 1t is this:
Is it not time that the best brains of the industry
put to work on the fuelns problem?
Just why this should be necessary is easily
swered. The gasoline We buy today is not nearly
good as it ten or even five years ago 1t is
not the fault of the refiners, WHO to be doing
the best they 1t is just impossible to supply
enough of the old fashioned variety of gasoline to
meet the tremendous demand.
Time was when you could pour out a saucerfu!
OF ordinary gasoline and it would evaporate com
petely at ordinary. indoor temperature within 4
couple OF hours Today the kind of gasoline We
have to give wouldn't evaporata completely
in days.
Present day fuel contains of necessity good
deal OF kerosene. 1t requires about twice as much
heat to vaporizc this fuel it takes to boil water
and such heat is not ordinarily available
1t seems shame that the great strides made in
automobile improvement should be coupled with
this constant deterioration of automobile fuel
Here is a real problem-a problem worthy of the
best thought available to the automotiye industry
1t would seem to the layman to be a problem OF
improved carbureton and fuel distribution. OF
course there have been improvements in this direc
tlon especially in the last two years. but We should
all like TO sort Of device perfected which
4 would enab.e us to burn some cheaper substitute;
for gasoline and which would remove our depend
ence OH fuel that is rapidly deteriorattng in
quality, and diminishing in supply

''Red" Starts ''De-Bunking"
milwaukee Journal

Red Grange is evidently continuing his educa-
ton, even though he longer walks down the
classic avenues of Urbana. Il never knew there
was SO much bunk in the world lie said at New
Orleans, "as have heard since | started to play
professional football" Now that is education to
be able to separate the bunk" from the truth
Reds immediate observations OF course, are in
his own field Of athletics. And he certainly has a
case He played three years for Illinois, Il took
all the hammering they could give me. l gave the
best had to the university. l can't give them any
more For what? To enhance the reputation of
his school. and Of coach who takes goodly salary
for his work. and to fill stadiums that hundra eds OF
thousands Of dollars might be realized. The game
itself was not directed by the players, even by RED,
as mere pawns to win. We do not raise the ques-
ion whether that was wrong; if that is the way
the universities want to play football all right.
But We do assert that 1t is the bunk to call that
amateursm and something else that is not greatly
different professional. One does not have to take
Reds" word for it. That this is exactly the stua-
ton is the testimony of such an eminent college
man as DR.. Morton Prince OF Harvard
The question Is bigger than football and Red
Grange. It involves all athletics Amateurism
makes pretense, but it doesn't live up to It's pres
ent-day rules because they are impossible. Some
way should be found to allow reasonable amateur
ism-for craftsmanship oply-and reasonable
professionalism Tor entertainment That will re-
qpire good deal Of "de-bunking.'
