PROGRESSIVE MEASURES
IN THE LEG|sLATUR
BY Will A. Steel

We have been asked whether
Alaska is really "the home of
the brave and the land of the
free?"
Certainly. That fact was
clearly and conclusively proven
on November End last.
Notwithstanding the exhor-
tations and receptions of the
Paid Press, the cajolery of a
band of political workers, the
influence of the Court officials
of the Third division and the
benighted official family at
Juneau, the efforts of many of
the good church people COM
bined with the red light and
law-breaking elements, the con-
niving of corporation lawyers
and the s1ush fund furnished
by the Big Interests, the free
and brave electorate of the Ter
ritory in large majority went
to the polls and performed a
duty fearlessly and with honor
to themselves and the land of
their adoption.
The largest vote ever cast in
Alaska, over $4,000, was pol1ed
on November 2, 1926. And the
unofficial returns show that
Delegate Dan Sutherland re-
ceived over 8,1OO while his op-
ponent Tom Marquam received
less than 1900, with a majority
for the candidate of the peo-
pie of about $500. And in ad-
dition the friends of the Dele
gate and supporters of his
policies carried both houses of
the Territorial Legislature.
Are not these facts sufficient
to prove the calibre of the
great majority of the voters of
Alaska? The issues were clear
cut. The battle was waged by
the people who want progress
sive and beneficial legislation
in opposition to the represent,

SEEK LIGHT ON
SCHOOLS PART
in TAX refund
Payment of Whole Amount
Now Means Suspending
Building Program.

An attempt to untangle the
problem of creating funds for the
school city's share of the 7-ycar-old
tax refund was made by school
board finance committee members
this afternoon.
School officials, as well as other
municipal officials affected by the
court ruling in the tax case, are be-
wildered by the situation, because
of the lack of definite information
on the steps to be taken, Ure NJ
Frazer, business manager OF the
school board, stated.
If the refund is required at the
present time, it might mean
suspension of the school building
program, including the proposed
Arsenal Technical addition and a
new North Side grade school.
Refund Exceeds 100000
The school city is bonded to
within $1,450,O00 of the legal 2 per
cent limit, Frazer said. The schools
ct of the refund will exceed ST.
100000, according to estimates OF
Harry Dunn, Marion County au-
ditor.
If the refund should be delayed
for six months an additional $780,
600 or more bonded Indebtedness
Z would be possible through the regu-
lar payment of bonds.
Even though part OF the money
should be raised by bond issue and
part by the next tax levy, the
building program would be Grip
pied, Frazer explained.
Create Excessive Rate
To attempt to raise the entire
amount would mean an additional
SIS cents on the tax levy, which with
the amount needed by other city
departments, would mean about ST
increase in the levy. This would
create an excessive tax rate and is
out of the question, Frazer said.
Members of the school board I'm
ance committee, who with Business
Manager Frazer are seeking a solu-
tion of the situation, are Charles
r. Yoke, Charles w. Kern and
Theodore F. Vonnegut.
Discussion of the situation as az
fecting all governmental units OF
Marion County will be held later this
week by the finance officers OF the
county and a special subcommittee
Of the Chamber of Commerce, ap-
uointed Saturday by William For
tune, civic affairs committee chair
man.
Will Exceed SS,000,000
Members of this special committee
Include Frank B. Fowler, president
the Fidelity Mutual Insurance
WSmpany, chairman; o. B. lies,
president International Machine
Tool Company, Dwight S. Ritter,
former city purchasing agent; Rob
ert L. Moorhead, State Senator, and
T. r. Ratclif. indianapolis Union
Railway engineer
sThe estimated amount Of the re-
fund for the county for the years
Of 1920, 1921 and 1922, will be in
excess of 100000, Auditor Dunn
announced.
Method Being Worked Out
Methods of dividing the refunds
due Marion County and Indiana tax
payers were being worked out by
County Auditor Harry Dunn.
Dunn proposes to divide the full
amountinto four parts: that due by
the State, the county, the school city
and the civil city.
He said if a special tax levy Is
raised to pay the refund it will
amount to IS cents on the 500.

The American people are just
tickled to death to learn from Gov
ernor jackson that the $4,000 check
which he received from D. G. Ste
phenson was in payment for "a very
valuable horse and equipment"
In this age of falling statesmen
and cynical citizens, it is of iIacal-
culable value to have our faith IN
government restored, and it is now
up to the people to beat it back to
the altar of liberty and rellght the
sacred flame.
It comes, too, as a delightful sur
prise to know the Governor is a pre-
eminently successful horse mer-
chant.
Versatility Is Gratifying
So many of our public men are
lust one-sided gents and to meet
up with versatility is most crafty
ing.
The surprise in Governor Jack
sons case is the more pronounced,
since he never occupied the public
Imagination on horseback.
Since he became old enough to
run for Office, the public has VISUAL
lied the Governor, reclining IN
oriental ease upon the back OF the
political elephant!
Naturally the speculation OF mil
lions now turns upon this "horse
and equipment" which the Cover
nor sold to Steve and we predict
that the American people will not
rest until this horse and equipment
have been led before them.
Maze of Speculations
Otherwise, countless minds will
be given over to the ravages Of con-
lecture and nothing is more devas-
tating to the cerebrun1, likewise the
cerebellum.
Even now we find ourselves drift
ing away in maze of speculations.
Was this horse white like Napo-
Icons or black like the Culver Mil
itary Academy's crack cavalry? Was
it a bay or sorrel, or was 1t a
polka dot?
Did it trot or pace or gallop or
single foot?
Was it gentle or did it kick all
the boards off the barn?
What was it's name and was Its
tail bobbed?
Where's Its Beauty Parlor?
And what has become Of it since
Steve has been in the penitentiary?
Who has been feeding it and
currying it?
What beauty parlor has taken
over the marching of its name?
Is it light hearted and gay OF
does it's sad eye reveal the silent
agony with which it contemplates
the strained relations between
Steve and the Governor?
Let us hope that in some strange
way the horse has heard nothing
whatever about it!
Did He Wear Spurs?
And what was the equipment"
In the old days when we rode a
western horse with a yellow stripe
down his back, our entire eqipment
was not worth $3.50, but the Cow
ernor, doubtless has horsehair
bride and a silver bit and martin
gales with ribbons on them and a
saddle with silver ornaments and
whip with an ivory handle!
And doubtless the Governor wore
spurs, like unto those with which
Cortez, the conqueror of Mexico
usually had his picture taken.
Ever Ride Double?
But to return to the horse-was
he gentle or unruly?
Was he sure footed or did he shy
at things by the roadside?
Did the Governor feed him sugar
Jumps and stroke his fetlocks OF
was the beast of such volcanic tenn
permanent that such overtures were
not advisable?
And did the Governor and Steve
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1927-07-18

ever ride this horse double, as they
rode the elephant in politics?
No Skeleton in Closet
Let us have the whole story and
if the Governor has picture of
the horse, also the equipment, with
Steve and himself riding, we would
just love to hang it in the library.
We would hang it IN our patriotic
collection, Immediately next to our
picture of Washington crossing the
Delaware!
But even if we can't have the
picture, we are happy in the knowl-
edge that there Is no skeleton in
the Governors closet-nothing but
horse!
