ate: two members of the House Of
Representatives. to be appointed by
the Speaker OF the House, and two
bona fide residenS taxpayers Of the
District of Columbia, to be appointed
by the Commissioners Of the District
Of Columbia, the, six so appointed to
select a seventh member, who shall
not be connected In any capacity with
either the Federal or District govern
ments nor a resident or taxpayer iof
the District OF Columbia, but who
shall be possessed of special qualifica-
tions in the assembling and interpret
/ ing of data necessary for the work of
the commission.
Tho work of the commission should,
be to devise and lay down formula
to be used annually in determining
the amount to be. contributed by the
Federal Government toward the ex-
penses of upbuilding and maintaining
the Nations Capital. The Federal
Governments interests in the Ma
tional Capital are far greater than
mere property values, and these in
terests should be carefully considered
in arriving at any understanding of
the respective interests involved. AS
property is withdrawn from taxation
by the Federal Government for one
purpose or another and as the taxes
of the citizens of Washington are in
creased to maintain a magnificent Ma
tional Capital the amount to be con-
tributed annually by the Federal Gov
eminent should be increased.
Wvor Franliing Service.
1.-The council believes that the Dis
trict government should be granted
the ranking privilege. even should it
be required to pay to the Post Office
Department a stated sum each year
for this service. The use Of the frank
by the District government would not
only save time, but it would tend to
safeguard the funds of the District
used for postage. The council sug-
gests that the Commissioners present
to Congress a bill looking to the Sc
curing of the franking privilege for
official District of Columbia mail
THE council is of the opinion that
the installation and maintenance Of all
street lights should be centered in one
department. 1t therefore recommends
that the installation and maintenance
OF traffic lights be transferred from
the Traffic Bureau to the Electrical
Department of the District govern
ment. This suggested transfer should
in no way interfere with the function

IndOrse School Increase.


"Public Schools-A total increase in
the school estimates of 81 1921 is
recommended for inclusion in the reg.
ular District of Columbia appropria-
ton bill for 1929. In addition to this
increase the council recommends that
the further sum of $620,700 be carried
in the urgent supplemental estimates
as follows: Completion of furniture,
etc, New Mckinley High School, $780,.
900: for purchase of site and the cree.
ton of an eight-room building with
assembly hall TO replace the old Bell
and Randall Schools, 1925 900, and
200 for salary for part of the ifs.
cal year 1928 for 81 additional teachers.
Adding the three supplemental items
to the increase recommended for in
clusion in the regular 1929 appropria.,
ton bill, schools will show a total in.
crease over the amount so far appro-
prlated for 1928 of $l.S19 .991.
For the general item of mainte-
nance of public schools the council
recommends an increase of S320,74l
over the amount carried in the 1928
appropriation act. The council recon-
mends an increase in the teaching
force Of 81 new positions, including
the 81 suggested for inclusion in the
1928 urgent supplementals. Provision
is also made for additions TO the ad-
ministratiye, clerical and janitorial
forces. and for general expenses.
For buildings and grounds the
council recommends for inclusion in
the 1929 appropriation bill an increase
Of $87s,550 over the amount carried
in the 1928 act. To this sum should
be added the sum OF S575,000 recon-
mended as supplementais making a
total increase of $1,453.55 for build
ings and grounds over the 1928 budget.
1.-The council has added to the school
budget provision for the erection Of
three sgymnasiums and assembly halls,
estimated to cost Sl35, 900. for the fol-
lowing schools John Eaton, Takoma

Inadequate Government
Then he told the long dreary
tale of Alaska following the Am
erican occupation, before tn Or
ganic Act of 1884, when the Army
ruled the garrison at Sitka AMI
there was little protection for
the civil population; the unsuc-
cessful attempts at municipal gov
eminent; the trouble caused when
five Indians We're drowned from
the fishing schooner San Diego
and the unsubdued Sitka Indians
demanded payment; of the Naval
rule which followed, and which
proved the most effective rule uu-
til the Organic Act was passed,
in 1884, after many petitions from
the people of Sitka for adequate
government
With the Organic Act came a
gradual change, he said George
kinkaid, who had come to Alaska
as purser and had become mayor
Of Sitka, was appointed Governor,
and though Alaska still had no
Judiciary, was governed by the
laws of Oregon, had no organized
schools, no Delegate to Congress,
no Legislature, there came a slow
change. Order was established
one after another the necessary
laws were passed, giving Alaska
practically self-government until
now it is doing fine"
Father Kashevaroff concluded Dy
saying that the country has pro
gressed wonderfully in the years
since the purchase and that If it
continues to progress proportion
ately it viii be marvellous. "The
greatest factor in the progress
of Alaska today are the tourists"
he said. "They come to see the
country and return to their homes
to tell about it, SO others come.
The appreciation of historical
spots, which is shown in the cree
tion of monument commemorate
ing the purchase of Alaska which
will be unveiled on Alaska Day
this year in Sitka, marks a big
step forward in the progress of
the Territory, he said

KASHEv AROFF
TELLS p I. A.
Of EARLY DAYS
Divine Speaks to Parents
and Teachers on Early
History Of Alaska

The 1929 season of the Par
ent-Teacher Association started
very auspiciously with a most
interesting program last night di
the first regular meeting of the
year. An entertaining and worth
while talk by the Rev. A. p
Kashevaroff on the purchase and
transfer of Alaska from Russia IL
the United States was the feature
of the evening. Mrs. John New.
marker, who delightfully."- sang
"The Heart of Her" by Cadman,
was greeted by applause when
she appeared. She gave as hef
encore, "Smilin' Through" by Ar.
thur A. Tenn. Mrs. Lester D.
Henderson played the accompani.
ments. The last item on the
program was a piano selection.
by Miss Virginia Metzgar. Lists
"Etude in d Major" with 9TH :
Night Riders" by Greig as encore
Both difficult selections were ex-
cellently played and marked Miss
Metzgar as finished pianist.
Negotiations Preceding Purchase
Most of what I know about
the purchase of Alaska from Rus.
STA by the United States has been
learned by study. though much
of the story of the transfer of
the Territory, / have heard first
hand from people who were eye
Witnesses" said Father Kasheva
rolf. His talk was roughly divided
into five sections, first, Russian
occupation and the beginning OF
negotiations for the acquisition OF
the Territory by the United
States; second, Cession of the
Territory and transfer, 1867 and
the American occupation; third,
government by the army; fourth.
the country without government,
form 1877 to 1878; fifth, the
Navy rule and the Provisional
government.
The long story of the negotia-
tions for the purchase of Alaska
between Senators from the west
and Russian officials, beginning
1929, interrupted by the Civil War
and resumed upon the establish
ment of peace, was told clearly
and interestingly by Father Kash-
evaroff. The situation existing a.
that time, when Alaska was rent
ed by the Russian governmeht
to the Russian American Com
pany, vast fur monopoly, and
governed by officers of the com.
pany in despotic and arbitrary
fashion, he described vividly. One
was made to feel the object slavery
of the Aleut Indians, who owne'l
nothing, could do nothing, but
what they were ordered to. by the
despotic Russian traders.
Fur Trade In Demand
The Hudson's Bay Company
which had chartered strip along
the lower coast of the country
wished to renew its expiring fran.
chise. and the feeling in England
at that time, was that England
must procure Alaska for herself,
Father Kashevaroff said.
The American Companies saw
chance to organize a splendid
