$40 GRATUITY URGED
FOR FREED PRISONERS
Present S. Held Not Enough to
Keep Men Until They
Get Work.

SUBJECT 10 an opinion from the con-
troller general, the Bureau OF Efficiency
today recommended that gratuity of
$50 be given to each prisoner discharged
from the reformatory at Lorton, Va.
in addition TO suitable clothing and
transportation home.
At present prisoners receive only SIS
upon discharge. the District Commits
Sioners not vet having applied TO the
Lorton reformstory the provisions of
an act of 1926 increasing the amount TO
$50. A report prepared for the Bureau
of Efficiency by j. w, Sanford points
out that the gratuIty OF SIS is only Suffi-
cient for one or two days maintenance
and works severe hardship in the
cases of prisoners without homes or
friends and without work"
If selected discharged prisoners were
returned TO their bona tide residences
in the United States and also given
fair amount as gratuity," says the re-
port. they would be better Equipped
to cope with their problems and resist
temptations to again resort TO crime as
many do who are stranded after one
or two DAYS out of prison"
The District Commissioners had SUBJ
mitted the proposition to the Bureau
OF Efficiency for a ruling M Kerlin.
acting chief of the bureau. reported
that while it was his opinion that much
good could be accomplished If the sug-
gestion of Mr.. Sanford could be adopt
ed, ne recommended that the matter
be referred to the controller general

The first Alaska Legislature proved that they could not or did not want to get along without the women. When looking up the records 1t was found that the first bill introduced in the Territorial legislature was an act granting to women the same voting privileges as men enjoyed. and lat CT granting women the right to sit on cases as jurors. Was this act passed So that women might become legislators. or was it just passed so that the women voters were only expected to vote for male

EDITORIAL
WILL OF THE PEOPLE

The political pot is beginning to simmer and before long it will be- gin to boil over. Owing to the fact that there is no contest on the democratic ticket for the primary election in April. we will focus our attention on the republican candidates. as this ticket gives the republican voters an opportunity to reflect and study the good and bad points of those who have de- cided to place their names before the electors (or may we be par doned for saying the political gull lotine.)
 The primary election leaves it up to the will of the majority to decide. and where there are more candidates than offices to be filled. 1t becomes a case of elimination. and it would be bad policy for bosses to interfere with any one or group of party candidates. On the contrary each candidate has the right to expect the party vot- CTS to have the free choice of elect ing or eliminating those they wish by their votes, without prejudice i'll feeling or machine interference.
 Any political club or party must be fair and above board in all their dealings if they wish the vot- CTS 'of that party to stand united when the time comes for voting in the general election. In many instances in the past in the second division there has not existed the spirit of, vote the ticket straight. only by a disgustingly small num- ber of voters. There is reason for this lack of party unity and that reason has always asserted itself when at numerous times in- dependent candidates have been elected over the party candidates. It is a subject that should be given a great deal of thought and con- sideration by those who, when el-

 The professor seems to excuse Hack of knowledge" which is to put q premium both OF ignorance and indifference. If be had eK- cused voters on the ground that politicians side-stepped issues. or that the average voter feels Ire can not change the tide. such an ex- cuse sor failure to be good cit izen might be accepted.

THE TRUTH ABOUT ALASKA

Before the era of debunking comes to it's heralded close. place shall be made for Colonel Wilds P. Richardson's article in the cur rent Atlantic on Alaska. Out of the wealth of his experience in the territory. to whose develop ! ment he gave loyal service for twen | ty years. Colonel Rirhardson makes a plea for less banbast and more { understanding "The American people have been led to believe that the purchase of Alaska from Russia was a great business bar gain" he notes. It is true that the original purchase price was on ly s7,20O.OO0. Congressmen often allow their imaginations to play with that incident to the exclusion of the equally historic fact that l the United States has in the in ! terval expended some s200,OO0. 1000 on the Territory. with no commen- surate return yet in industry or population. There are only about 3O.0O0 white residents in the Ter ritory today. and they have been dwindling. Colonel Richardson contrasts this bargain" with the Louisiana Purchase. which cost S27.o00.000. and today supports 21.0oo.oo0 people. with an esti- mate wealth of more than $6O.0OO, 900. 900.
 Colonel Richardson believes that i Alaska has suffered directly from over enthusiasm. whether born of romance or commercial propagan- da. Exaggerated statements of it's wealth and opportunities led among other things. to the launching of the Government railroad that Great White Elephant of the North. To it's exactions Governor Parks pays unconscious tribute when. in the course of his latest annual report. he remarks that flor the first time in the history of the project the deficiency for operation was less than $1.O0O,00O." When the Ter ritory did not grow as fast as they had expected. the enthusiasts blamed the conservationists and the politicians. They said that G'f- ford Pinchot and his friends were trying to flock up the resources ot the territory. and that the bur eaucrats at Washington had it's progress tied in red tape. "Dev- elop Alaska" became the popular slogan. which found champion in Secretary Fall, In fact. Presiten; Harding himself. when he set out on his visit to the Territory in 1923, leaned toward acceptance o1 that Doctrine.
