 The halibut fishermen and others who pioneer the waters of the North Pacific have asked little in the way of navigation aids, being willing to chance many hazards rather than yield the pride of their dangerous calling. It would. seem only reason able that attenion of the government should be directed to the construc- tion of a breakwater affording a safe haven for these brave craft.-Se- ward Gateway.

NEED FOR SHELTER HARBOR

Every year the need for shelter harbor at Seward to accomodate the smaller littoral manifests itself. .'oday fleet of halibut boats, driven from the banks by a severe storm raging on the North Pacific, are clustered about the governmentdock, where they may rub and chafe again st each other until weather condi- tions will enable them again to set sail for the offshore fishing banks,
 While the wind is offshore, small craft may find refuge in the harbor, but when the winds are sweeping in from the ocean they are little better off than if they were laying-to on the rolling ocean.

INCLUDE INDIANS IN
 IMMIGRATION ACT

A bill that would exclude North American Indians from all provisions
 of the Immigration Act of 1924 has been taken under consideration by the House Committee on Immigra- tion and Naturalization.
 There was considerable discussion i'll committee as to the possible in- depreciation of the term North Am e"ican Indians'' Some members fIaintained that the Indians of Mex ico and perhaps some of the Indians of Central America, might be legal ly included as North American In- dians.
 The committee will take up later in executive session this amend rent to the Act of 1924 providing that North American Indians, of any and all classes, are hereby ex- cluded from the provisions of this Act"

added industry and taxes lost to the Territory.
 I They do not advertise the fact one iota that the tax on red salmon, r nks and cohos in the state of Wash. ington is 12 cent per pound. Going into simple mathematics we find that the figures per case are as fol
 lows: 40 cents for reds; for pinks and for cohos.
 The basic tax on reds in Alaska | is 10 cents; pinks, 4 12 cents; CO., 1 hos, 1-2 cents.
 Oregon has basic tax of AZ 1-2 cents per case difference of 32 12 cents per case that canning com panies are willing to pay for the hot CT summer climate-certainly not for quality of fish,
 The Premier Mine, that big Brit art,i mine at Stewart, B. o., pays an annual tax of $4OO,OOO on their net earnings of $1,5OO,OOO.
 The Kennecott, the big Alaska mine, with net income of nearly $7,OOO,OOO for 1926 will pay less than $7O,O00. Perhaps it is because copper is so much cheaper than gold that their is such a difference ip these taxes.
 Alaska fish traps numbering 674 in 1926 pay $2OO. per trap regard less of the quantity or value of fish caught. When fish traps are per mitted in British Columbia, the tax is $500. for the license, plus 1-2 cent for each fish caught thereby. Based on this same basis, if the average trap in Alaska, catching 50,00O fish, were taxed, they would pay 10 the Territory s75O. each.
 The System and their Fog Horns and political pewees don't want a fair system of taxation; they want Alaskan to pay them for the prostitu- tion the resources of Alaska.

LOCKING THE DOOR AFTER
 POSING THE HORSE
Juneau Empire

The literacy bill that passed the United States House of Represents tives, with the amendment provid. ing that it shall not affect those who qualified by voting at the last gen. eIal election in the Territory, is a lot like locking the stable after the horse had been stolen. Hundreds of illiterates voted in the First Division at the last election-enough to elect the Indian legislative ticket.
 However, if the measure is the best that can be secured from Con- gress it is better than no legislation. Tine danger with it is that it's ac- ceptance, if it should be passed by the Senate and approved b ythe Pres idcnr in it's present form, would be that it would preclude the possibility of getting genuine literacy test measure at later date.

The following general circular, self explanatory, has been issued from the headquarters offices of the Alaska railroad, over the signature of Norman M. Lack, acting assistant general manager:
 The following has been received from the regional manager, United States Veterans bureau, dated Washington, D. c. January 24, 1927, on the subject of United States gov elment life insurance:
 Attention is invited to the fact that after July 2, 1927, no further ; applications for the reinstatement ol or original applications for, this government insurance will be accent This insurance has all the advan- tages of old line companies at the same time being lower in cost than any of them, as no commissions are paid and other overhead expenses are provided for by congressional aD- propriati0ns and are not chargeable against premiums on this insurance. ,t therefore behooves every veteran to reinstate or convert his insurance before it is it late.
 ''In order that all ex-service men and women may be informed as to their rights and the limited time within which they must act to secure their full rights to the benefits and protection of government insurance, your active cooperation and assist ance is solicited.
 You are requested to call the at tention of all ex-service men and wo- men within your department to the facts in this case and urge them to 'ake immediate action so that all rights and privileges may be pre- served to them, and to their benefici- arcs.

It looks as if the barn door were not only shut and locked but that the would be lockers of the door got showed into the stable and were themselves locked in.
 The bill as passed by Congress is practically the same bill as was passed by the last legislature thru the help of men in favor of the plan of the Empire to disenfranchise the vote they could no longer control. It will be remembered in the Sulzer- Wickersham contests that this same ''illiterate" vote was used and de- tended by Sulzer and his friends. ' That so long as these votes were friendly to the interests of Troy and his bunch of non" professional" poli- licians, it was perfectly alright that Sa1d vote should be cast. When the 'illiterate' vote awakened to tue fact that they were being made Q political football and without re- compense of fair legislation, they left the protecting arms of CIallam oohnny, Stroller White and others of their type of politicians, and went Or their own.

Farm Loan Board
DO inmate By
SGCy. Mellon

Washington, D. c., July 21.-
Farm organizations and farmers
generally are incensed at the Cool
idge administration because of it's
action in placing the Federal Farm
Loan Board under the domination
of Secretary of the Treasury Mel
lon; President Coolidge recently
displaced Edward E. Jones, of
Pennsylvania, Robert A. Cooper,
of South Carolina, and Elmer S.
Landes, of Ohio, as members of
the Farm Loan Board with Eugene
Meyer, of Wall street, Flord R.
Harrison and George R. Cooksey.
They were transferred bodily to
the Farm Loan Board from the
War Finance Corporation and the
Board thus becomes mere rubber
stamp for Secretary Mellon and
special interests. Although the
ioint-stock land banks and other
rural institutions for farm credits
are owned by the farmers them
selves. control Of them has now
passed to Mr.. Mellon and his rub
Der stamp board. The action of
President Coolidge in thus turn
ing control of farm credits
ment of Eugene Meyer as the
over to "big business" was de-
nounced by the recent Des Moines
"corn belt conference" of farm
ers in the following resolution:
1--WE protest with every ounce
of our power against the appoint
ment of Eogene Meyer as the
head of the Federal Land Bank
system of the United States, as
well as the selection of the two
other gentlemen named to this
board. These selections were
made against the protest Of the
farmers who own these banks and
it is our firm conviction that these
appointments were not made in the
interest of the farmers or of their
banking institutions, but to carry
