 Persons who have engaged in teaching in the Territory 10 years and becoming totally and perma- nently disabled may receive annual allowances proportionate in amount to the length of their services.
 The fund would be self-sustain- ing. It is required that every per son serving as teacher shall, after September l, 1880, pay one per cent of his or her salary into the treasury to be deposited in a spe- cial Teachers Pension Fund tc which would be added bequests ol donations and any appropriations that the Legislature might make al any time.

NINE MEASURES
 INTR ODUCED IN
 UPPER BRANCH
Many Important Measures Are Offered Senate
 Changes Pension Law

Nine bills and one memorial were introduced in the Senate yesterday afternoon, marking the last min ute rush of measures to come in under the 45-day rule which limits introduction to the first 45 days of the session. Included in them were measures providing for a separate school tax in municipalities, for museum building at the Alaska College. uniform motor vehicle reg istration, uniform motor vehicle operators and chauffeurs' licensing and uniform regulation of the op- eration of vehicles on highways, teachers pensions, continuation of game stocking program, and ere ation of cities of the second class.
 All except the teachers pension bill, which was introduced by MT. Dimond, were presented by Sena- tor Hess. The memorial was in troduced by MT. Dimond and urges the Department of Commerce to remove protection from sea lions and sea gulls and other mamals and birds that prey upon salmon.
 Change in Board
 Senator Hess's measure relating to School Boards provides for sev- eral changes. One empowers the Board itself to fill by appointment vacancies in its membership. At present such vacancies arS filled by appointment by City councils or special election.
 The most important change, how ever, is in the school tax provision Under the municipal code the levy of a school tax is optional with the Council while the Hess measure makes mandatory separate schoo tax to be levied and collected al the same time as the general mu- nicipal taxes.
 Motor Vehicle Bills
 Three measures were introduced by Senator Hess regulating motor vehicle registration, their operator! and chauffeurs and their operation over highways. They are identi cal with similar legislation now be ing adopted in the States for uni form traffic laws and are drafted and recommended by the Nationa Conference of Commissioners oi Uniform State Laws which was ap pointed by Herbert Hoover as Sec retary of the Department of Com merce. The Territorial Highwa Commissioner would function als as a motor vehicle Commissioner

Does Slavery Still Exist?
continued from last week

continued from last week
 Nearly a quarter of a million Indians, pent up on their reSer-. vatiOns, are still denied any voice in the management of their property or the education of their children; still denied the right to live where and as they please; still denied vertual- ly all privileges guaranteed un- der the Constitution; still treat ed like savages and incompe- tents and subjected to cruelty and injustice probably unequal l. ed in any land.
 In defrauding the Indian we have been fairly shreWd on the whole. And yet there has been 2 certain grim humor in the sit uation.
 Try as we would to select ut terly worthless wastes to banish the Indians to, the joke has ire |qUently turned on us. Good farm lands we deny them. Yes. The descendants of those whom We eXiled to the barren lava beds, for example, are today ex- lsting in miserable shelters made of sticks and rags and are dying of starvation and despair. Ev- en the reSOurceful Indian could do nothing with lava. And there are many groups in the various States as pitifully situated. The majority of the Indians to-day gre desperately poor!
 On the whole, we accomplish ed our purpose Many tribes have been obliterated. Others are threatened with extinction.

 And we did not forsce coal. Nor } did it occur to US that deserts
 might possibly spout oil. Or that the Indians, with their ancient knowledge of irrigation could ,make even 8 wilderness blossom and show us what valuable water power we had thrown away.
 As it gradually became evident that the Great Spirit had not permitted all his red children to
 be left destitute, as the value Of their timber scared, as their wa
 ter power became precious, as oil began to bubble from the sand of their desert wastes, the cupid Ilty of unScrupulOus white men became infamed. And there commenced in this country a ruthless, prolonged raid on h. .dian estate, which appears to be lat it's climax today Forty-one million dollars of reimbur8able debts have been saddIed on the Indians for roads, bridges, irri- Gation systems, and other pro jects of benefit chiefly to whites.
 Of this sum the patient h. dlans have paid already some eleven millions. The remainder hangs over them.

A BLOW TO CONNECTICJT

Connecticut Commissioner of Agriculture S. Mclean Buckingham has been little slow in discovering that the tariff measure as passed by the House imposes hardship upon Connecticut consumers of lumber. The commission has the interests of the states farmers particularly in view, but what he says garding the injuries that will come to the farm CTS really applies to everybody who builds house.
 The House tariff bill imposes a duty upon cedar cedar siding, shingles, logs of hemlock. fir. and spruce" ." Where are these produced :? The Pacific Northwest That is the section of the country whose lumber interests prevailed upon the House 10 exact tribute from the remainder Of the country.
 The Pacific Northwest contains the last large stand" of timber we have. numbering is big business in that section, and the remainder of the country must pay the piper. In New England we pay heavy freight toll to boot, the lumber coming 10 us through the Panama canal. The lumber schedule is indefens- iblc. It will hit every farmer in the i country As the commissioner well observes, the lumber used by utility companies and other non-a n-agricultur- al concerns is let in free of duty That's a very peculiar way of help ing the American farmer. for whom the special session of the Congress was supposed to meet.

THE SLIDING SCALE,

One way to come to a definite conclusion regarding the sliding tariff scale for sugar is 10 consider why Senator Smoot of Utah is in favor of it. Sugar consumers can rest assured that anything favored by Senator Smoot on sugar is in the in- terest of the western beet sugar growers and not necessarily god send for general sugar consumers throughout the country.
 Senator Shoots idea, made pub lie in detail. indicates that the plan is to make a price-fixing vehicle of the sugar tariff. When the price of sugar is high the duty is to be only one cent a pound-which is a duty of about 16 per cent on it's value. When the price of sugar is low the duty is 10 be high, or up to three cents a pound.
 This plan would cause sugar to be the same price nearly all the time. The law of supply and demand would be definitely set aside.

CONNECTICUT TOBBACO

Tobacco agriculturists of Connect- cut, who suffered such a heavy loss during the hail storm of the past week. will receive unbounded sym pathy from their more fortunate fellow citizens who do not own to- bacco fields. but sympathy does them no good.
 The Connecticut valley tobacco growers have been having hard times for some half a dozen years. due to the inroads made upon their trade by the widespread use of cigarettes. They are in a position to produce much more choice wrapper than they do, but show a tendency to restrict production to coincide with the de- mands of the market, incidentally always producing more than the market needs and suffering the hardships of lowered return as a result.
 With one swoop nature has step- ped in and added more than d mil lion to the usual losses. The year threatens to be the worst ever ex- perienced.

LA GUARDlA

r No more impressive surprise has resounded down the corridors of New York politics for long time than the nomination of F'iorello H. LaGuardia as candidate for mayor of New York on the Republican flu sion ticket.
 LaGuardia is no regular Ecpub- lican. True, he bears the party label. but more out of convenience. He could just as easily wear the So- cialist label and it would make no particular difference to LaGuardia. For this fiery gentleman is primari- ly an independent in thought and action. being often at odds with the leading minds in the party and non- chalantly intoning, what of il "'
 Mayor Walker, running for re- election, will have stalwart oppo- nent on his hands, one in whom there is much of confidence among the type of voters whose votes are needed by the winning candidate in the metropolis. Walker will have the advantage, however, of being on the ticket possessing the normal ma jority in the big city. Off hand one would be inclined 10 believe that Walker will be reelected; but there have been Republican mayors of 2 New York and there is no telling how hot LaGuardia will make it when the campaign gets under way. For LaGuardia is man who can say lot in a short time, is fear less exponent of so-called progressive doctrines, and has shown a tendency in the past to walk where the more angelic politicians fear to tread. = From all of which it can be con- cluded that there will be an extra lively election campaign in New York City.

Those New Street Signs. Ugh, We Feel a Pain

Those pretty little street signs arc beginning to give us a severe aes- thetic pain.
 When they are encountered in business districts they remind us of a man wearing bright red socks with full evening dress. Or a fat lady from a circus trying to look coy.
 They're nice, yes. Too nice in fact. So nice that they strike a dis cordant note. Useful, perhaps but incongruous. Like running across a big policeman waving a powder puff at gang of Chicago summer visit ors
 Give the man who thought of them credit. He intended to help along the city beautiful movement. But his judgment was at the sea shore. or some place. The design is out of place in districts given over to the pursuit of vulgar money. A rustic street sign doesn't harmonize with urban surroundings.
 Delightful in those baby blue dis tricts where each little home had | it's laWn-or did have one before l the dpught-but not in front of oJ e Zoop's butcher shop with strings of
