BLEEDING

The federal machine is still mourning the de- feat of Lester D. Henderson for reappointment as Commissioner of Education. The machine beeds profusey through it's arteries and veins towit it's newspapers.
 The Anchorage Times seems to have made the best showing professional mourner but we must be fair and say that the Juneau Empire will miss brother Henderson when it comes time to print the reports. The Empire formerly got this profitable printing without bidding for the same under the plea of emergency" MT. Henderson seemed to have been honest enough and since the printing was always held up through some fault not in the control of the Commissioner, the emer- gency had to be met much to the profit of the Empire.
 No one has pointed out in w1sat respect the territory will suffer from the loss of Mr. Tender sons services Perhaps the school teachers in the smaller communities will miss his handsome fig nre and his charming grace on the dance floors, but aside from that, wherein is Henderson better than MT, Breuer?

so out of date as some think. For example, the Ketchikan Chronicle recently defended tlSe "Ro- tary Ballot planned by the House of Representa- tives by saying that it's real purpose was to give every candidate "fair' chance. It illustrated by saying that people generally vote for the first name on the ballot and neglect the last. It used the comparison of Anderson and Ziegler in the last general election and said that Anderson be- cause ss name came first had an advantage ov- CT Ziegler.
 The hole in the argument is this-Ziegler was elected while Anderson was defeated.
 The Purpose of the Rotary Ballot
 The purpose fthe rotary ballot is to defeat the Indians who supposed to use stencils. etc.. in casting their ballots due to their supposed ig- norance and thus to purify the ballot"
 We too are for PURIFIED BALLOT. but we would devise some law that would stop habitual drinkers and ,Sabitual violators of the Constitu- tion of the United States like editors of several papers. We affirm that our most intelligent vot- CTS aer the Indian voters and We affirm tha+ tsere is more vicious or dangerous voter than the educator who Aounts the laws of our country and then prints his paper under the stars and Stripes.

CAPITAL IN ALASKA

Upon purchase of the power and light com pany of Ketchikan, certain interests rejoiced about the new capital that was coming into Alas ka.
 There is food for thought
 Did anybody bring NEW capital into Alaska?
 Then should we be grateful for the NEW money?

SELLING ONES SOUL

The more we see of tA2 Fol-.l Division De- legation in the Legislature, the .l.-c We admire Hosea Ross and Fred Johnston, 1l who would not sell s2ir souls to Charlie Bunc-- of the Col lege.
 The present situation in Fairbanks is inevit able because the industry of the Fourth Division is now reduced to the college which only can sur vive by appropriations from the public treasury.
 The college political machine is and has been created by the federal govrnor (whatever his name or time) and of necessity, men who favor government by the people of Alaska in popular election cannot receive the benefit of this political mac. She.
 We here give expression to the growing de- mand in the First Division that the Fairbanks College be abolished and the people of Fairbanks provide for their own high schools.
 If this 6oes not sit we'll with them, then let us reurn to representative government or sepa- tion.

MONEY GOING OUTSIDE

 We'll yes, come to think about it, that is true
 But we also ponder, what has become of the two million that certain citizens got for the power and water company of Ketchikan? Did it stay in Ketchikan? If it did not is that any worse than the seven per cent that goes to the Minneapolis capitalists?

regulated by the buying public, and
the ability and willingness of the
public to pay higher prices for beef,
which comes into competition with
other foods.
Cattle prices later in the season
will, Of course, depend to a great
extent upon the amount of rainfall
and the amount of available feed IS
the pasture districts. just at this
writing, it seems safe to assume that,
with virtually the entire western
country short on range feed due to
prolonged drOuth this late in the
season there undoubtedly will be
fewer cattle fattened for spring and
summer markets.
There is plenty of money avail
able for conservative cattle loans
through banks and established loan
companies. No emergency exists in
this direction and interest rates are
certainly not high, in comparison
with loan rates ON other commodi-
ties.
All in all, the western cattle stu
alton appears to be bright for cow
men who have feed available. While
a period Of higher prices may be in
store for the consumer, it also is cer-
tain that better quality beef is in
store, due to the increased interest

Los ANGELES, Dec. 2S. (U.h)--

"what is we'll bought is well sold'
Then, too, the western country has
