CHAMPION TAKES ISSUE
 WITH WILBUR

Secretary of Interior Wilbur recently declared that the policy of the Indian Bureau would be to swing onto the several States care of education and health of the Indian.
 Hon. Champion now comes for ward and declares that it would create hardship on that race if the States were to look after the Indians health and education because little if any money would be spent in the education of the people.
 Attention is called to the fact that the bureaucratic maladmin- istration of Indians Affairs has not decreased in expense to the government and the Indian nor has it succeeded in solving the Indian problem. Not by any means.

ONCE AN ITALIAN

Editorial comment is beinq made about the Mussolinic de- claration that "Once an Italian always an Italian"
 Why quarrel with Mussolini?
 Once an Englishman, always an Englishman" long has been the slogan. The Mussolinic fiat is not one Whit worse than the declaration of the Englishman.
 After all "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." Be he an Italian or what not. And re- turn to mother country makes no difference. An American by adoption will remain American in spite of all flats be it by Mus solini or any other nation.

IS HE A SOVIET

President Hoover recently set forth a plan to coordinate and speed up industry to relieve the tension of unemployment. Com pairing the Hoover plan with the plan of Stalin of Russia, one wonders just how far the pre- sent administration is going to go in it's plan to bring real pros perity to the masses. Surely the altruistic scheme of the dis credited Socialist is being work ed out by the conservative ad- ministration in Washington.

A HAPPY NEW YEAR

We have spent four years cir culating in this community for which we are thankful. We were brought into existence by force of circumstances over which we had no control. The laboring class had no voice; nor any who would champion their cause or tell of the wrongs perpetrated upon them. While we are own ed by the Alaska Native Bro- therhood our voice is not for the Indian alone but for everyone who would benefit from our eff forts.
 Territorially our platform is laid down by the Brotherhood and the dictates of right or of wrong. Locally we are govern ed (personally) as we believe to be right. We have not always agreed with all factions or with more than one faction. We have no ax to grind and nothing to gain from following our own dic- tates. We own our own soul and for that reason work independ- ently for the best good and de- velopment of the community
 We appreciate the support of all friends and at this season cannot refrain from being more CT less charitable to others.
 Our resolution for the year is to continue as we have in the past working for a bigger and a better Petersburg.

BLIND SETS

Secretary of Commerce has set his stamp of approval upon the regulations for 1880.
 The question is raised, How in the world is anyone going to know in December how the sal .mon are going to run in August or any part of the summer fol- lowing issuance of the regula- tions? Then, how can any man, let alone a bullheaded fisheries agent, be able to forecast the need of certain specific regula- tions as will be needed?
 The American system of regu- lation is one of going it blind ly and being always year be- hind. The Canadian system is one that does not forget the past season but gives power to the Commission to take care of the future at the turn of the season.
 On the one hand we have a scientific system as against the blindly prejudiced system of the Bureau of Fisheries.
The Alaskan., 1929-12-27

Education of the immigrant from the lowest to the highest types has been in the hands of the States and in one short gen. cration the immigrant is absorb ed and nationality gone.
 The Indian Bureau like a barn. acle clings to the Indian and de- stroys rather than builds the character of that race with it's paternalisic system and segre- gation.
 Place upon a reservation with the same kind of system as now governs the Indian and the Frenchman will remain French, the Nordic will remain a Nordic, the Slav will remain a Slav until klngdOm come. This is a demon strated fact.
 Even if $19,OOO,O00 is spent an- nually upon him to perpetuate a most un-- American institution of government which is judge, prosecutor and guardian all in one, the progress of the Indian is proven more slow than where the Indian gets away from fed eral paternalistic care.
 The Federal government has had it's mismanagement of the Indian affairs and it's Century Cf Dishonor." Let the States step in. Certainly they can do no worse than has been demon strated by Charles Burke that honorable commissioner of af- fairs who conspired with shy ster lawyers, political crooks and women of the deadline to rob h. dianS of their estates under his control.

carry water on both shoulders. WET THOUGHTS FROM A DRY By Jas. R. Little, Centralia, Wn. I have been reading some of lthose arguments in favor of pro- |hibition. Personally, I am as dry las Volstead decreed I should be. When the Supreme Lawmakers |of the land say: Lay off the ihard liquor" I say, "Oh, very we'll, it is the law" Let's not
 talk about the ludicrous and pitt tul attempt at enforcement that obtains. Nor open disrespect for the laws of the United States,
 which are so fagrantly ridicuIed;
 Tor discuss the fact that anyone, even children in their teens, can without much difficulty, pur- lchase as much of the disguised, lso-called liquor, as desired. Let Jus also eliminate mention of the corruption in some of our gov crnment offices, and the cost to taXDayers that this feeble at tempt at legislating morals in the name of Prohibition, has caused.
 What 1 want to know is this: Suppose you or I, or anybody else iso inclined, should wish to have la glass of beer or a drink of whiskey I ask you, whose busi- less is it? I claim it is the busi- hess of the individual. I earn the money I spend. Whose business lis it what I do with it? Here's another thing I'd like to know, Take MT. Volstead, the members of our Congress that submitted the 18th Amendment, our na- /; tional, state and local (Self-ap- pointed) guardians. of Public Morals. After how many of these, and which ones of them, would you pattern your life? Of how many, of them could you honestly say T should like to be like Mr. Wise or Mrs. Wiser?" Or how many would you point out i to your children with the admon- ition that they conduct their 1 lives in accordance with the ideals and deeds, lived, and not
 dictated, by Mir. Wise and his
 family. I read of so many of those perfectly good people who
 were annoyed by the old time saloon, of the wicked songs they
 heard; of the loud talk, ct ce-
 tera. But I have never seen or

heard of a law that compelled listen to those things. But, ot those people to stand outside and course, the saloon has passel. II has been disapproved of by the intelligentsia. The City ha- power to regulate anything. With Us limits, power even to stic1 noisy people in the hoosegoW when they get drunk and run a motor car over an innocent pc destrian. Has power, say. Yet, right now, during the regime of Prohibition, those things happen. What is the matter with the power? It is dictated by the vote of the people, Strange it never worked somehow. And there are some who have the nerve to tell
 us that by Prohibition, poverty
 and nameless suffering caused
 by lack of money are eliminated. Consider the fact that receiving
 charitable help has become a profession. It has graduated in
 to a new name, but the facts re- main. We have no positive proof that economic conditions have
 been bettered because of the pro-
 hibition amendment, though
 now and then, we see a fellow nose jay" who, with loads of statistics and careful selection of location, makes a grandiose dis play of how much the poor
 working man now has in the bank compared to the days gone by
 Here's a point. Read of the
 auto accidents every day. Be-
 cause some fellow doesn't know
 how to handle a car, precipitates
 an accident and kills a few peO- }ple, should we prohibit the driv- Ing of automobiles? Some fel- low crashes his airplane into
 another mans roof, then should
 we have no airplanes? Some
 man builds a rotten dam and 1 drOWnS a hundred people, then should we prohibit water power? l Some man steps on a live wire
 and gets burned up, should we
 prohibit electricity? Some man builds a punk edifice, it crashes
 and kills a few hundred; should
 we prohibit the erecting of build ings? Some man gluttonously
 CigS his grave with his teeth,
 should we prohibit food? If a l Sourdough Miner and Prospector
 in Alaska freezes to death, should
 we prohibit prospecting and
 mining? About here somebody
 rises and says: Those fellows
 simply didn't know their stuff.
 If they had known how to handle
 the things they were using, those
 accidents wouldn't have hap
 lened. Prohibit them? Ger
 tainly not. Just teach them how to use them. Aha! I thought
 we'd get around to it. The in
 ference is obvious. I am for less
 force in public affairs, and more
 people attending to their own
 business.
