BANKERS TO MEET
 IN BOSTON OCT l6
Walter s. Bucklin Believes Small Bank May Be As
 Safe as Larger One
UP TO MANAGEMENT

Boston, Oct. 6,-The value of CO., operation and mutual discussion of present business problems. is em- phasized by Walter S. Bucklin. president of the National Shaw nut bank of Boston and chair man of the bankers committee of the New England council, in a statement to the council regarding the second New England bank management conference to be held at Hotel Statler, Boston, October 16, under auspices of the council. Success in banking does not de- pend upon size, "Mr Bucklin de- clares." A properly conducted small country bank caD be just as safe as a large city institution. Success in banking depends upon management, and management in turn depends upon strict adherence to sound policies plus mutual help and cooperation. The banker who tries to stand alone, ignoring his neighbors. is missing a great op- portunity to learn from the exper- fence of others.
 New England bankers will be given the opportunity of both con- tributing to. and gaining from, the presentation and discussion of their mutual problems at the sec- ond annual bank management con- ference to be held October 16 in this city. The conference held a year ago was an outstanding suc- cess and will be repeated with new subjects for discussion at the urgent request of those who at- tended last year. Each of us has something to give to the ther fel- low and, in turn, he has something to give us.
 We extend an invitation to all New England bankers to join us in this open forum discussion of the major problems of bank manage f,a aanf n

TERRITORIAL BACKING FOR
 CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

Unable to underWrite it's oWu affairs, sponsors of the All Alaska Chamber of Commerce movement, are asking the Legis. lature to appropriate $5,000 for completion of the organization.
 There are some who do not trust the sincerity of the spon- TOTS of this movement and fear that it will become an integral part of a political machine which now controls in the Ter ,itory. Certain it is, such an or %anization composed of the bus mess interests of the Territory :AOuld be able to finance it's oWn organization and not have to depend upon the worried Legi3- lature to make financial ends of the organization meet. When t is demonstrated that this or ganization is all that it is set forth to be, it will have nc trouble gaining support finan- gal or otherwise.

A STEP BACKWARDS

The Senate passed the Shat tuck "SchOol recognizing bill" he sole purpose of which was to
 eplace in the hands of federal 'fficialS, direction of Territorial .;chOOl affairs. Under this bill. The Commissioner of Education w,ll owe his political life to the federal machine-he will be a 'reature of the machine withou5
 ne saving grace of a mind of hls own.
 The office is now out of pol: tics, so says Mir Shattuck. But just let MT. Keller follow the dic- tateS of the masses who pay his salary and see how much it is Cat of politics" He will be .Summarily removed" the gen. teel way of saying he was fired.
 Any person who believes that there are no politics in the ap- continent of a Schood CommiG- sioner had best get out his prim- al on politics. The veriest dunce understands that political debts are paid and paid through ap- paintment to offices. Else, how W, uld the Federal Brigade retai I it's existence these many years?
 Let some one, opposed to the Shattuck system of removing the schools from politics make hl5 application for the job see how much consideration he will re- ceive. How then. can any one say that the schools are now re- moved from politics.

Six thousand dollars is the least sum on which the Alaska Chamber of Commerce can func tion the next two years, says the Juneau Empire. Of this sum the Territory is asked to provide $5,- coo and $1,O00 would be put up through membership fees. The s6,000 would be used to pay cler- ical fees and publicity costs fo" the nevt two years.

STILL FIGHTS THE
 RESERVATION IDEA

The Coroova Chamber of Commerce is taking a direct iS- sue with Secretary of the Inter for, Ray Lyman Wilbur on the matter of the creation of a re- ServatiOn for Indians in tfle let lin Country The Secretary has assured the Chamber of Con. merce that creation of this re- servation will in no way inter fere with the mineral deVe!u''- ment of the district but AtJol ney Thomas Donohoe declare. otherwise.
 In which fight we cheer or the Cordova Chamber of Com merce. But in order to get a united front We would urge that they keep Rep. Foster off the .cServation Which he so ably de ended through his memOria. to Congress requesting complete domination of Indian affairs in the Territory and opposing the program of the Department It. place upon the Territory it's ob- .igation to care for ALL it's chi . dren. The creation of the reser- vation and the Foster memorial are twins in purpose.
 It resolves itself into the queS ton as to whether or not the In- dian is a citizen and whether or not he is entitled to the privl leges as well as burdens of citi = LenShip. If he is not a citizen, then he is a ward and entitled 70 the paternal protection ard care as other Indians and this Includes creation of reservations, game, fish, timber and mineral, as well as land reserves.
 1t is well to remember that the Alaska Indians have objected to the reservation idea and the pa oernaistic system Of the Indian bureau. They want no fence of any kind around them. The would give Cordova every assist
 ,nce but COrdOva should remem- 5er the Rotarian idea when ask
 ng others to scratch their back , IS it works both ways. /

Road construction work is paid TOT jointly from Territorial and Federal appropriations. Con- gress only recently passed a pre- vailing rate of wage law which requires that ALL contractors doing government work pay ,abor the prevailing rate of wag- es. That law is plain enough for any contractor to understand
 The method usually employed at this season of the year is to import few stranded Seattle ToaterS at a minimum below lt- cal standards. Local men are then offered CD jobs at the pre- vailing scale. They refuse to take the cut so the contractor imports more Seattleites and at the same time establishes an alibi for his scale skinning by declaring it impossible to hire local labor.
 It would be a good idea for Chamber of Commt rec n eac .
 community to check up c1 the ware scale paid and for thei'
 WI good, insist that the pre- railing wage seq be main tained.

A GOOD MEMORIAL

Representative A. H. Ziegler is author of the memorial to Congress praying that the Ter. ritory be given authority to pre- scribe and define fishing gear to be Used in the Territory. This memorial is a step in the right direction and should receive the support of every organization in the Territory. Effort was made to amend the memorial by hay ing Congress give full control Of the fisheries to Alaska. This L1r. ziegler vigorously opposed declaring that it's scope was too far reaching and would only de feat the purpose of his bill.
 We do not agree with MT 7iegler's tax on fibre boxes in order to build up the sick log ging and lumber industry by taxing the canning industry The tax on the fibre box is not ., sound economic proposal and fl only makes two weak industries that much weaker.
 But We do declare that the Ziegler memorial to Congress F III the right direction and that he is not hurting himself in any way with the electorate to whom re promised relief from theil present intolerable position. T. all the Republicans in the Legis ature made as much effort, and this includes the Democrats, the present unsound condition existent would be more general y cleared up.

WOLF BOUNTY

Senator Allen Shattuck agair J pudiated his constituency thi' | ne by opposing the bill fof>a ] ,unty on wolves. He declaref' t.lat it would double the sum ex- ended during the past two years and the appropriation would probably reach a total of $5O,OOO.
 However, the good Senator fa- lored appropriating a sum O! loney to be expended by tn;

The re- >drn on money appropriated for this predatory bureau is nil l5 cost the Territory more to kill seven wolves in the Petersburg than was ever paid out for wolf county in this district-w without my appreciable results. The est results were secured at run "ays pointed out to them by To- cal hunters. Five thousand dol ;ars spent in two years by this department is more than bird seed thrown away. The bounty system has it cheated in every direction and the taxpaers bene- fit by this method.

""DON'T YOU LIKE IT"?

Seattle Workmen are losing a $300,000 payroll to Californi1 Iaborers on the Aurora Avenue, Seattle, bridge. This is chargc,l by Paul Frederickson, ste9; workers representative, and Charles Lyon, international a. gent for the steel workers.
 We know of 29 men on tha job who say they live in this state but whom we don't know and never have," Lyon declared. Tn lists we omitted 16 keymen who are non-residents."

ALASKA INTERESTS AT THE NATIONAL CAPITAL

Alaska had quite a few goo ' friends in Congress who will not answer present" when the 72nd sessicn convenes on December 7 next. One of these is Louis c. Crampton, who has represented the 7th district of Michigan f2r the past 18 years. As chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, he has been in posi- tion to do many good turn for the Northland. He was one of the early supporters of the Alas ka Railroad and referring to it some months ago declared that Tt is a development proposition as l understand it, and I arr quite at a loss to understand how the government could carry on any vigorous development program in Alaska without the railroad"
 1 On November 12, 1880, When l the Subcommittee of the House Appropriations Committee was holding hearing on the Int 1ri- or Department appropriation Eill for 1882, Champion is quoted as saying: with reference to the Alaska Railroad, at the time the government built that railroad, if it had been believed that it was a commercial pro- position, I think we could as sume that the government would not have built it, and would have left it to private ini- tiative to build the railroad. I was here when the act passed, and I remember very we'll the discussion. I think probably the most interesting speech I heard since I have been in Congress was MT. Wickersham's speech on the resources of Alaska, in ad : vocating the building of this railroad. I do not see how any one could expect to hold the dCpartment to a prOflt-making railroad up there at this time"
 The more thought that mem ',crs If C0ngrers give to the
 Alaska Railroad, the more posi- .i-'~ bee : no~ he imnression that 7c 0. government venture it has not been fairly encouraged and supported And many believe that the raising of freight and passenger rates, effective in March, was not the proper pana- oea for it's assumed ills and that it will be found advisable after six or eight months experiment to rescind this action next win | ter.
