THE PRIMARY IN ALASKA

The primary in Alaska comes mighty near to being owned and controlled by the Federal Bloc and the Democratic leaders of Juneau. They agree among thmselves, in the interest of De- mocratic party harmony, to have only one candidate for each and every elective office. They then have no contest and are able to enter the Republican primaries to pick off and defeat any can didate most dangerous to their political chicanery and machin- ationS. The defeat of Senator Will Steel is an illustration in point. Had the Federal "bloc" stayed in the Democratic pri- maries where they belonged and where they play their game year in and out, Steel would have been nominated and battled for the place in the Senate in the fall with the full strength of the electorate-a large proportion of whom being out fishing did not have opportunity to vote.
 Food for thought-this same mass voting federal brigade and henchmen of the Juneau plunderbund, look with disfavor upon the Alaska primary system. They would sooner have it as in the days of Shackleford, when proxies were bought and sold by "elders" of churches and when the wishes of the electorate were given less consideration than would be given a dog going to the polls to vote. By this system the gang of political highbind- CTS with their bloc voting en- masse, they could nominate and elect their candidates with cer- tainty.
 That the literati with their
 bloc of federal mass voters will work to defeat the primary sys- tenn in Alaska, there is no ques-
 tion. They have tried it in the recent years unsuccessfully. With absolute control of both branch es of the Legislature, watch and see the fulfillment of this predic- tion

JOS STODDARD'S VIEWS IN
 The Seattle Times

Monday We received a copy of an editoial from the Okanogan Independent, sent to us by the editor, O. H. Woody. He com mented on the political upheav- al in King County, closing his cogitation as follows:
 "Whatever Seattle and King County may think of the nation al administration, the world court and prohibition issues when the remainder of the state Is heard from there will be a different story. Efforts to push King County resolution at the state convention will meet with stubborn opposition.
 Bring on your opposition, boys, for the King county resolu- tion is going to be pushed. Po- litical eXpediency is good for the soul, and that is what some of the delegates want an opportun- ity to do. They want an honest expression of sincere convictions.
 Political skyrockets are being shot in the air, preceding the Republican state convention. Many of them will return to mother earth without showing much illumination.
 July 1 candidates will start fil- ing for the primary election to be held September 9, and these skyrockets are feelers to see if the road looks open.
 With the direct primary every candidate for a party nomina- tion has an even start. That is the feature that the political bosses do not like, and some of them want to ask the legislature to amend the law so as to give party endorsement. Candidates would not then be wondering how the people feel about it, but how to get the SUD- port of bosses. We prefer to have them looking to the people rather than to the bosses.

ly. Yet they elect political de- mogogues seeking dictatorial powers and a torrent of bureau cratic regulations Of all kinds. Then they damn as futile the eff forts of men honestly and sin cerely making effort to bring our government back into the con- trol of the people rather than to add to the authority and power of bureaus.
 Tn the past twenty-five years, so-called constitutional rights have been abrogated on a whole sale scale. The right of trial by jury. even the right to be heard in court denied Alaska citizens; even the freedom of speech has been threatened by the action of some of the courts in the states, the most recent of which is the arrest of the editor of the Record of Los Angeles, for criticising the action of the district attorney and the court i'll the infamous Julian Petroleum case-a criti- cism that did not obstruct jus tice but that tended to a strict CT and more severe action by the courts.

WHERE IS OUR DEMOCRACY

Has bureaucratic officialism become the great American men lace?
 President Hoover, when Secre- tary of Commerce, said that there were more than 200 Feder- ial bureaus, boards and commis- sions which are empowered to make rules and regulations which have the effect of law. Aye greater effect than law, for one may go into court and there challenge the constitutionality of the law whereas one cannot go back of any regulation of the bureaucrats.
 A case in point is the regula- tion by the Forest Bureau which fOrbids export of Alaska timber. The law passed by Congress puts no prohibition on export timber Alaska timber. By regula tion the Forest Bureau fOrbids exporta- tion. The logger cannot go back of the action of the Bureau; he he has no recourse. And so the right to dispose of Alaska logs by foreign export is blocked by the exercise of autocratic contraven- tion of the laws of a democracy. The power of the bureau exceeds the authority of that body which created the bureau and feeds it with funds and appropriations to keep it alive
 This trend of bureaucratic 1ule is increasing and no mat ter how much we talk of indi- vidualism and democracy, we are headed straight toward com munism. The citizen has less to do with regulating his business and social life; the official has more and more. We are all be- coming more subject ito the whims of the egotistical little men who are seeking to make a show of their brief authority. And we are all becoming more subject to the Whims of a spreading bureaucracy.
 The average citizen gets off in a corner of a poolroom, or behind the warm stove of a grocery store or on the floats alongside the gaSboats and protest private

PIONEERS OPPOSE CHANGE
 ALASKA GAME LAW

Pioneers of Anchorage have raised their voices against the proposal of the Alaska game Commission to invade the rights of prospectors and trappers by subjecting them to search with out due process whenever and wherever it is desired by an off, cial of the commission to con- duct such a search. The bill now pending before Congress which, If passed, would give game and fur wardens unlicensed privilege in the matter of search, was call ed to the attention of local Pio- neers at meeting of Anchorage Igloo No. IS a week ago, and de- finite action was taken at a largely attended meeting of the oldtimers last evening at Pioneer Hall, in the adoption of a reso- lution prepared by the resolution committee.
 The resolution, which was adopted without a dissenting vote reads as follows:
 Resolution
 Whereas the principles of per sonal liberty declared in the first ten amendments to the Consti- tuition of the United States are firmly established in our system of government, and
 Whereas the personal rights preserved to our people of the United States by those amend ments must, of necessity, be the foundation of the idea of free dom upon which any govern ment of the people, for the peo- pie and by the people is based, and
 Whereas any laws which are designed to nullify, postpone or obscure the operation of these amendments as 6 protection to the primary personal rights of the people are dangerous legisla- tive experiments in a field which offers little promise of success:
 Therefore be it resolved by Ig- loo No. 15, Pioneers of Alaska that we protest against any change in the law respecting the game and fur bearing animals of Alaska which deprives the pee pie of the protection afforded by these amendments, and particu- larly the change proposed in H.
