a distance of more than feet.
Detective Jackson figured prominent
ly in the investigation resulting in the
arrest of the Diamond brothers of New
York, who were electrocuted at Sing
Sing for killing in a bank hold-up. He
was one of the chief witnesses for the
State in the recent trial of the so-called

and Albert G. Raymond of Rochester,
Mass, who are now serving a life term
in Wethersfield prison for the murder
Of State Trooper Irving Fl. Nelson.
Police today were looking into the
major cases upon which Jackson had
worked to determine if any of the men
for whose conviction he was responsible
had been released from jail.
At the time Of his death, Jackson
was working on the case Of Thomas
Mazzola, who is now in the Brooklyn,

that University of Wisconsin students voted irregularly in his ward.
 We make no mention at this time of the reported illegal vot- ing in westward division pre- cincts that have been called to our attention. But question is raised, why are the bureaucratic authorities so anxious to punish the Indian for alleged illegal voting while they hush up ille- gal voting scandals that keep them (the bureaucratic trough feeders) in power?

JUST roo BAD

The Siskiyou county, Califor- mia bootleggers have threatened to raise the price of whiskey from $2 to $3 the pint as federal pro- hibition activities increased in that county. Somewhat in the neighborhood of 100 raids had been made.
 Is the price of whiskey and corn dew going to raise in AL aska now that investigations are to be made relative to certain reappointments in the near fu- ture? Indications right now is that the efficient marshal and his deputies are clearing the decks for a record-but if re- appointed-WHAT THEN?

ANOTHER QUESTION
 FOR MIR. BROWN

Last summer United States Deputy Marshal Charles V. Brown soaked a young man over the head, in Petersburg, when that man persisted amorously on securing entrance to a house in the restricted district. Brown was inside and when the young man tried to push in the door, Brown stepped out, socked the guy on the bean with a billy and sent him about his business. In the young mans car were sev- eral bottles of pre- -Volstead li- quid and some on his person. The young man staggered back into the machine and drove a. way. Brown continued his bus mess, whatever it was, and the matter there ended.
 The question: If the young man were disturbing the peace why did not Brown arrest him forthwith or later swear out a warrant for his arrest knowing that the law was being violated? There is no record of any sort on file in the department of justice relative to this case. Is that a part of the efficient mar shal's program of law enforce ment?

INTERNATIONAL HIGHWAY TO CONNECT ALASKA AND US

tory are known as the tourists and hunters" paradise, and be- yond lies Alaska with it's majest- ic mountains and rivers, it's plains and forests abounding in all varieties of game, while it's rivers and lakes provide the best sport fishing in the world. Con- sider the pleasure of an automo- bile tour from the States into remote Alaska, away from the intense summer heat ot south ern attitudes into a region of continuous daylight during the summer months.
 But this proposed highway should not be considered from the viewpoint of tourists, hunt CTS, and fishermen, as consider ation of it's commercial utility as an aid to development of the great mineral resources that lie along the route, both in Canada and in Alaska call to mind op- portunities for the prospector and miner to enter this almost unlimited field for their activ- ities.
 It is quite possible that the road-building program within Alaska contemplates a projection of the interior roadway on to Seward Peninsula and thence to Cape Prince of Wales on the margin of Bering Straits. For years people have dreamed of a railway northward through Can ada across Alaska to Bering Straits and thence by tunnel, on to Siberia. The proposed con- nection of international high ways of which I write may bring about somewhat similar result.
 Within the next decade one may perhaps equip his touring automobile at New York or Phil adelphia or Miami, and drive with his family and friends to Cape Prince of Wales where, ac- cording to f1ction,' the Wander ing Jew stood and gazed across the waters toward the Asiatic

KEPT CAMPAIGN PLEDGES

Many important nj t e r S were considered and acted upon by the Legislature. It passed laws making elective the heads of all territorial departments. It changed the old age pension sys- tenn to one for pioneers only. It enacted a new code for schools and indigents and needy. It re- vamped laws relating todepend- ent children, delinquent children and Boards of Children's Guard ians. For the second time in succession, the Legislature did not raise any of the Territory's tax schedules. No general tax bill was introduced and a meas ure providing for a new head tax (by Foster) for a special pension and indigent relief fund was de- feated in the Senate. It created an office of auditor to succeed to the duties heretofore perform ed by the Secretary of Alaska for the Territory" It provides for the election in place of the fed eral political messenger boy; it provided for the election of a Territorial Treasurer who shall be responsible to the electors of Alaska and not to political hench. men of political obligations in cured somewhere in the United States; it provided for a high way engineer to be elective and divorces that office from the political pioneers pension ma chine.

ILLEGAL VOTING BY INDIANS

A bill was presented the re- cent legislature calling for TO- tative ballot for the election system of the territory. This was to prevent Indians from using checkered cardboards to automatically mark ballots" Nothing is ever said of illegal voting of white men and women, of non citizens and aliens or unqualified citizens. The lily white machine with it's support CTS is so alarmed sinless that it is almost ready to sprout wings to fly to heaven where it will wander, we fear rather aimless- ly, (for it will be lost) on the golden streets of heaven.
 Last month more than 40 University of Wisconsin students were called for examination in an investigation into purported irregularities in voting during a city election in Madison, Wis consin. The order for an in- vestigation was made by the Dane County Superior court af- ter Alderman Frank Alvord de- feated for reelection, charged

THE ALASKA POLITICAL
 COLLEGE

All of the Westward repre- sentatives moves in the Legisla- ture hinges on the Alaska Col lege. An institution, which by virtue of it's position in politics has ruled the Westward Divi- sions and whose demands for ap- populations have grown until this year it has asked for close on to $3OO,0O0 for the next two years. This for an institution with not much more than 40 bona flde students. It has come to the pass when the tail wags the dog and it is a darned small tail as compared to the dog.
 Campaign Pledges
 When the Five Progressive Senators, remembering their campaign pledges, found that they were blocked in their efforts to secure elective officials they quietly passed word along that something was going to happen to the college appropriation-it might even be cut down to al- most nothing. Dr. Bunnell, presi- dent of the college was advised that the intregues of the west ward divisions would not gain for his institution the money he asked for unless they played fair. But like others of the auto cratic, domineering, bullying federal machine with it's black mailing press, he did not think
The Alaskan., 1929-05-10

that the senators would dare stand in the way and prevent passage of his budget.
 Pet measures were tied up in the Senate and though the AL aska Packers representative, Senator Dimond tried to get them reported to the floor, the senate refused to bring them forth until the reactionary tories 'of the House fearing the death of their pet measures began to show a willingness to compro- mise. That willingness was sig nified only after the Senate cut the college appropriation down to a little over $90,OO0. And then making elective the major ter ritorial offices, the Senate con- ceded House amendments cut ting out reference to a control Ter or board of control.
 The alignment as now is in Alaska is the federal bureau crats, the department of justice the Alaska college and the hy- phenated republi-demo machine with it's henchmen who hesitate not at blackmailing in order to secure continuation of the do- imitation of that machine.
 There is an end to every trail and tits a long alley wat ain't got no ash barrel" With the taste of election of officials fresh in it's minds, there is no ques- tion that the citizens of Alaska will demand more of their own autonomy.

Yes, screams and a hasty exit marked the close of the school day The combined efforts of Allendorf and Princi- pal J. B. zullauf were required to eXtinguish the fire.

CHRIST AND JUNEAU

If the loWly Nazerene came to Juneau there is no question but what he would be classed as a "niggero" by some good chris tians of that town. And that they would be too good to as- sociate with him. That he would not be able to enter some of the churches in that town is not a question in our minds-not from knowing some of the hypo- critical members.
