IA Case For Department of
 Justice To Prosecute

Last fall, David Paul, native was arrested for illegal killing of deer land having in possession more than the number allowed by law. He wired for attorney but before trial was ordered, Marshal Brown had tfe case taken to the district court at Juneau for fear he would not be able to secure conviction locally. Judge Reed heard the case and gavs David light sentence but as the circumstances were extenuating, hs 'mmeiately paroled him.
 Upon leaving jail, David appeared before Game Warden Terhune, who is more or less interested in the en- forcement of our game laws and re- ported the following facts:
 l. That Marshal Brown on the opening day of the deer season had sent out hunting, two natives who killed four deer-two doe and two buck They packed out three deer, leaving one doe in the woods expect ing to return for it. When they in- formed Marshal Brown of this fact he merely remarked that they would have plenty of opportunity to hunt again. The deer were fed to the pris. oners. (We don't know whether any meat was charged for sustenance Of prisoners at this time or not.)
 2 On two other occasions Brown sent the same two native prisoners out for more deer and furnished the gun and ammunition for one of them, but they soldiered in the woods and did not hunt for any game.
 When Brown went out to search the camp of David Paul for alleged stolen logging goods, Browx 'qlled Mantan, a native prisoner up from the cabin and told him to shoot a deer on the beach Mantan bill

 We are in the newspaper business and when we want a job as deputy marshal we won't ask any other de putty for the job.
 We are for law enforcement so long as they remain upon our stat ute books but so long as Mr. Brown is paid for that enforcement, we will leave that for him to do and to do WITHOUT FEAR OR FAVOR. Tn the meantime, we will just continue to take our little orders for sub- scriptions and job work that come our way and peddle our own papers
 Furthermore, we declare our selves: We have a couple of axes to grind but have delayed so doing as we have listened to the advice ot others. We have turned our cheek for another crack on more than one occasion. We have met some pe- culiar situations but all under cover as such sneaky fighters will fight Tn the future, we bring these situ- ations out in the open and will swing club on occasion as viciously and with all force available. And take it from us, right straight from tho shoulder, we have a few nifty slugs in he back end of our cranium that will not stand the light of investiga- tion nor bring credit to those who wish not that nmelight.

 Gentlemen:
 Referring to your bank comparl- son in a recent issue of THE ALAS KAN, would suggest that two i'm portant factors are overlooked, as follows:
 1. Excessive loans on real estate security, as indicated by one state ment, exceeding actually the entire commercial loans. A parallel is quite hard to find assuming that the statement is that of a commer- cial bank; such loans, no matter how good, are generally considered highly undesirable for commercial banks and seem to have worked i'm mense havoc in the United States.
 2. The first statement shown con- solidates it's cash resources into one item, whereas in the second state ment the balances due from outside banks (presumably subject to de- mand draft) is segregated from the cash reported on hand, and there fore the second statement would ap- pear to have the highest reserve, epd adequate legal reserve under the
