WILL "A. STEEL
 Senator Steel had the honor of being elected to preside over the Senate He proved to be one of tie most independent men who ever sat In our legislature.
 The leadership that is so ne- cesSary in legislative bodies was supplied by him. In doing so he demonstrated that he under stands that this nation is found- ed on the twill of the people,"
 He introduced the famous "Controller Bill" which seeks to give the people of Alaska the right to elect their own officers. Supporting him in this were Senators Anderson and Sund- quist of the Second Division; Senator Frame of the Third; and Senator Benjamin of the First.
 Opposing this measure of self government were Senators Dunn and Hess of the Fourth, and Sen atOr DimOnd of the Third.
 Second only to his fight for self-gOvernment, was his fight against Lester D. Henderson, the political messenger boy of the Governors Office, be he a Demo- crat or Republican, who has managed our school system. This man, for twelve years the Com missioner of Education of Alas ka, was the most important cog in the bipartisan federal ma chine. When his job was threat ened, his allegiance to both parties became apparent when such persons as Mrs. Harry Nor ton of Anchorage, Senator Di- mond, Pat Gilmore of Ketchi- kan, Charlie Bunneu of Fair banks, and the Bert Faulkner Republicans walled their loudest in chorus. But thanks to t1Ae courage of three men, Senators Steel, Anderson an q Frame, Henderson is no more.
 Senator SteePS school bill provided without a maximum limit a refund of 85 per cent plus $30 tuition for outside students. This was opposed by Mir. Hen- derson and his henchmen. MT. Henderson Con the plea of econr

omy) wished the limitation of 75 per cent.
 Due to the great majority in the House where Joe Murray is the accepted leader, the refund for schools was reduced.
 But tie point is this, (and the people of Alaska should give him credit) Steel tried to get a more liberal allowance for our primary school system but he was de- feated by the Federal political machine whose slogan was keep down taxes" and (thiS very soft ly) flor this will please our nOn- resident constituents.
 Senator Steel also introduced a sanitation bill to regulate can neries. Various Cannery repre- sentativeS said "We have no Ob- jections to this bill because we are doing t.l0se things already" and yet their friends in the House led by Attorneys Foster and ziegler, killed it promptly.
 When President Charles Bun nell of the Fairbanks Agricul- tural College asked the Senate to give him $232,000, Senator Steel opposed him. The amount finally granted was $105,O00- a saving of S127,O0O. This the tax payers should also remem- Der.
 Senator Steel also opposed Representative Fosters $5 head tax for the pioneers pension fund.
 We are glad to announce that Senator Steel has successfully arranged his business so that lla will remain in the Territory and that he will be Q candidate to succeed himself.

to advance t.Ie general business condition of the First Division is to make it's people more pros porous thru the one big indus try that means so much to this section. And this he would do by giving greater employment to local fishermen. To accom- pIiSh this he concluded that the better way was to exclude, as far as possible, the nonresident trClIer5 who come in such large numbers from the outside to en- gage in this seasonal work. To meet t-3S situation he introduce ed a bill in the Senate, one that he thought might go thru an un- known Quantity-the House by placing a license of $50 on the foreign trOlIerS. The five Re- publicans in the Senate stood back of the bill from the start and of course it passed. Then to our surprise it got thru the House where the pro-.1ibitive clause was raised to $25O, which was immediately accepted by the Senate and is now the law. Sen- atOr Benjamin was one of the impIacable advocates of the Board of Control Bill and quite willingly held out to the end to force the arbitrary House into cOnceding their quite liberal capitulations along the line of giving the people the right to run their own Territorial af- fairs.
 Senator Benjamin, a mong Otl3er measures, was quite will ing that the women should have a community property law and strengthened the bill when it came from the House, which was agreeable to the women advo- CateS. The improved bill went to free conference and was &C., cepted by both c0nferees and later by the Senate. But the House had a change of 1aeart and allowed the conference re- port to die. The previous ex- porience of the Senator as a member of the House stood him in good need as he gave his voice and vote to those measures in the Senate that spelled prosper ity and prOgressiveness.

1t appears that the word for ma

And that minor and red are also
the same word. Furthermore, the

course, there is a certain specie of

there is in the water of the Black
sea carboniferous deposit which
makes it look a little black.

FILIPINOS FEAR
MISTREATMENT
BY CONGRESS-
u. S. Farmers Start Fight
for Protection Against
Island Products.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP sIMMs


Foreign Editor, scripps-Howard Newspapers
WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.-H the
discriminatory legislation pending
in congress against the Philippine
Islands is pressed, the hottest fight
for independence the Filipinos yet
have staged will Eecome inevitable.
First guns have been fired On the
American side and the islanders
are engaged in hauling out their.
heavy artillery for a return salvo.
American farm bureau repre-
sentatives, appearing before the
powerful ways and means commit
tee of the lower house, served notice
that when the tariff revision comes
up, the agricultural interests of
this country will demand protection
against products from the Philip
pines, Porto Rico and other irlsuIar
possessions of the United States, as
well as from Cuba.
Although sugar came in for spe-a
ciflc mention, the bureaus spokes-
men made it plain that protection
all along the line would be asked
when the time comes.
Sees Economic Danger
America is beginning to realize
that the Philippines constitute
source of danger to her own eco
nomic well-being," says Vicente c.,
Runuan, one of the leading mem
bers of the official Filipino group
here.
Not only does free trade place
Philippine products in competition
with American products, which sew
eral bills introduced in congress aim
to prevent, but other measures tend
to put the Filipino people at dis
advantage as a subject race.
One of these would bar Filipinos
from the United States, just as the
Chinese and other orientals are
barred, while another treats them
as foreigners when employed as
sailors aboard American ships
In some sections of the United
States the right of Filipinos to own
land has been raised and, since the
0uJlFlllC ZULU QCClSlOll VI 40HO, OAlCy
arc held ineligible to American citi-
ZeaShip unless they have served
three years in the navy.
Furthermore, Filipinos say they
may not serve in the United States
army, but only in the Philippine
scouts, where they can not rise above
the rank of major as things now
stand, whereas, under Spanish dom
ination, they could hold the highest |
rank and command Spanish troops |
A Filipino even. has held the Office !
of prime minister of Spain.
Fear Other Discrimination
These determinations, Filipinos
insist, naturally will be followed by |
others, as Filipino and American
interests continue to clash.
But, they admit, they do not
blame the American farmers or
anyone else for taking steps to pro-
tect themselves, from What they |
consider a menace. What they do |
object to is to being treated as in
habitantS of American soil when it |
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1929-02-08

pays to treat them like that, and
like foreigners when it doesn't.
The islands, FilipinoS hold, either
are under the American flag or
they are not. If they are, they
should be treated like any other
American territory. If, however,
retention of the archipelago jeo-
pardizes American interests to the
extent indicated by the discrimina-
tory legislation, the very simple
remedy is to set them free.
1t is the only morally defensible
thing to do. Such is the Filipino
Thesis and upon it they will base
their fight when the battle begins.

EUROPEAN MOTOR

Sales Manager for American Com.
pany Sees Continued Pros
perity Abroad.

American motor manufacturers can
look forward to continued prosperity
so far as Great Britain and Continental
Europe are concerned" said Courtney
Johnson, general sales manager and a
director OF large motor car company,
who has just returned from an extended
tour OF these countries.
american cars are enjoying real
tribute. The British, French and Ger
mans are mechanically minded. They
are shrewd judges of value because
money Is not so easy to get and they
cannot be extravagant; also, they are
keenly critical of the appearance Of their
cars.
1T Is therefore a significant tribute
to American mechanical genius that we
can produce automobiles that come up
TO these high standards on a production
basis and at volume price.
There is now wide appreciation of
american manufacturing methods.
There was time when the Europeans
were inclined to doubt the value of a
product which was produced in such
quantities. However, American auto.
mobiles have been tested many years in
rough going on European roads and
they have not only stood I'D but have
retained the distinctive beauty which
commendS them throughout the world.
In addition to that. visitors from
abroad have been cordially welcomed
to motor plants by our industrial leaders
in this country. Few, If any. of the
secrets of American production have
been withheld. The true facts have
rather amazed our guests, and the gen.
eral result is tremendous increase in
