 He wishes the Senate to sur render the little power that it does have in school matters and deliver the same to the federal governor. Nonpartisan? and nonpolitical?

 Dunn and Dimond to establish non-partisan, non-political, Board of Education to take the place of the present Board was upset Saturday afternoon by the Senate which struck such pro- vision from the school code measure under consideration by it in Committee of the Whole. The majority then wrote in the bill provisions identical with the present statute, which makes the four senior senators and the Governor the Board. The Dunn-Dimond bill provided that the Governor and six clti- zens appointed by him should compose the Board. Juneau Empire.
 There is only one serious fault with the above report, to- wit, the so-called "non-politic- al" board is not non-political. It is political in it's worst sense.
 It is to be expected that Sen- ator A. J. Dimond would support such a bill which takes away all the power of the elected repre- sentativeS of Alaska to pass on the Commissioner of Education and gives it to the federal gov ernor, because MT. Dimond be- longs to that school of politics that believes in government by the foreign federal machine. IT. But : for Senator John w. Dunn to do so brands him in a fawning, lickspittle class of poli ticians. It is now clear in our mind that the said Dunn will be 5 a candidate for reelection and that he will have the backing of that other non-political CD board, the Trustees of the Fair banks College, and the worst of it is, the political machine built '9up around the Fairbanks Col lege will ree1ect him.
