WASHINGTON. March 2.-The American presidential adninistra- ton that began in the lamp light- ed dimness of an austere room in a New England Iarm nome August 3, 1923, ends March 4, 1929, histori- cally labelled with the word pros perity."
 On March 4, 1925, when Calvin Coolidge renewed his vows as thir- tieth chief executive of the United States, after 19 months service of the term Warren G. Harding, the formal words of his acceptance con- tained the observation that he fore- saw an era of greater prosperity ahead for the American people.
 At that time, the American trade balance was at a favorable level. The clinging finsa.s as ess war readjustments, however, had not been entirely loosened from indus try.
 SOOAh01C anu sC'k(-%~J
 The years that followed witnessed American industry reaching new high records and the development of a Damon and Pythian affinity between the Coolidge administration and the term prosperity. Coolidge and prosperity became ineztricably connected, concept of virtually universal acceptance, and the New Englander relinquishes office with that conception riding at it's high est.
 Coolidge's six years in the White House, saw, in equal importance, significant steps taken by his ad- ministration in an American-pio- neered path towards world peace and the beginning of a studied ef- fort to gain better approachment between the United States and the countries of South America.
 That policy has caused the world to focus sharper attention on the potentialities and the possibilities of the South American impress on the affairs of other countries and the probable effect of the future re- lationships with that continent in the course of nations, one with an other.
 i Economy
 Hand in hand with Coolidge pros i peritV exclamation went his wei publicized prospensity toward econ omy in all things. The record of his regime is high-lighted with ve- toes of measures that carried, in many instances. vast expenditures

NINTH SESSION . OPENS MONDAY,
 6O-DAY TERM
Secretary Theile to Preside at Opening Ceremonies
 No Organization

The Ninth Alaska Legislature will convene here at noon Monday, for 60 days, Secretary Karl Theile pre- siding in both the Senate and House at the brief ceremonies which mark the taking of oaths by the new members and temporary or ganizations. The Senate probably will convene first, followed im- mediately by the ceremony in the House
 By Monday all members of the Senate will be present. Three Sena- tors are yet to arrive, Arthur Frame of the Third, Charles Benjamin of the First, and L. c. Hess of the Fourth Division.
 House Members Missing
 There will be three members of the House missing at the opening session, A. H. ziegler, of the First, J. N. Mccain of the Third, and Joe Mcdonald of the Fourth. The first and last named will arrive Tuesday, and NJ. Mccain about next Friday.
 There has been no movement to- ward definite organization yet. It is thought these matters will be arranged tomorrow so there will be no unusual delay in perfecting the final organizations Monday.
 There were two leading candi- dates in the field today for Sec retary of the Senate and Chief Clerk of the House. For the for mer place, Lawrence Kerr, who was Chief Clerk in the House in 1925, seems assured of appointment. Rob- ert c. Hurley, of this city, is men, toned most prominently for the House position. Other employees will be decided upon after the Sec retaryship and Clerkship are out of the way
 Important Subjects Pending
 Governmental organization, in- volving the creation of at least one new Territorial office, larger pen sions, tax revision and whole horde of proposals involving ap- propriations, are among the more important subjects which the Legis- lature will be called upon to con- sider.
 There are the cooperative game stocking program, aid to fur-farm- CTS, control of predatory animals roads and trails, subsidies for ship ping in waters along some of the Territory's sparsely settled coasts subsidies for airplanes carrying mails, continued construction of air. plane landing fields, continuation of aid to prospectors, and many other matters for the earnest law maker whose constituents, in most instances, have sent him to the
