Tie total population of the Territory on October 1, 1930, was 59 4'''"". comprising 35,764 males and 23,614 females, or an excess of '2,250 males over females. There were in the Territory 26,640 white personns, 29,983 Indians, 478 Japanese, 164 Filipinos, 135 Negroes and TT other races, in- cuuding Mexicans, Chinese, Ko- 1eans, and HaWaiians.

 ReSOIuJlOn
 Whereas, The Pioneers Of Alaska believe in a republican form of government and that as far as possible the people O.. the Territory have an ina]'en- 9ble right to choose by b"iiot their own officials and servarv> ond ve}emently decry bureau cracy in any form, as .Hbvc:;.- we of the principles Of derno- cracy; now therefore,
 Be it resolved, That Igloo No. 5, Pioneers of Alaska, ea' nes1]y protests against any ,tenlE1 cn the part of the Territorial Legislature, now in session at Juneau, to repeal or to amend o. alter Section 1 of Chapter 115 section l of Chapter 114, the last paragraph of Section 2 ofChap- ter ll8, and Section 12 of Chap- ter 118, of the lows of 1929, or any part of said laws herein spe- oifled, in such manner that the offices created and provided for therein and thereby shall here after be filled by appointment rather than by election.
 --Archorage Times.
 Outside of the few politicians whose policy and practise it is to ;>etray Alaska's interests to the federal bureaucrats, there is nc call nor desire to throw those elective offices back to the ap- rcintive powers of officers not themselves responsible to Alas kan control but subordinate only 10 official Washington.
 This protest and the protest of all other voters was ignored. This was 6 foregone conclusion and was predicted by this pObli- cation.

HUGE FORTUNES

TAMMANY QUIZ
IT Politicians Have Banked
$10,000,000 More Than
Reported Income.
BY SANDOR S. KLEIN
United Press Stan Correspondent

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-Samuel
Seabury, counsel of the Hofstadter
legislative committee, already has
discovered that twenty-seven Tam
many politicians and city officials
deposited $l0,000000 more than
their salaries and reported income.
And that figure is by no means
the limit, according to Seabury.
Il have evidence to show at least
$50 other New York politicians and
city officials with bank deposits far
in excess of their salaries and
other legitimate earnings" Seabury
told the United Press today. 1T
is purely a matter of choosing which
one to put on the stand"
For weeks Seabury has had Tam
many's leading lights squirming on
the witness stand, but despite his
rigorous questioning, they all have
explained clearly how they accumu-
lated their wealth.
Cop Forgets Benefactor
Sheriff Thomas M. Farley'S de-
posts came largely, he said, from a
"big tin box" Although his salary
during the last six years has aver
aged but $500 annually, he has
deposited $500 $3.50 since 1925.
James A. McQuade, former Kings
county register, had to help the
other thirty three McQuades," and
for this reason borrowed a stable
portion of the $510,597 credited to
his bank and brokerage accounts.
Dennis Wright, a former police
man, who complained during his
examination, which was on alleged
collision between police and boot
leggers, that cops only get the
crumbs" said he received a good
part of his $4,000 from a "seafarin'
man." He could not recall the name
of the philanthropic sailor.
Law Firm Got Millions
Undersherif Peter j. Curran
wasn't sure but he assumed" the
$662,311 he has deposited since 1925
must have come from my livery
and undertaking business"
New Yorks official cupid" Dep
uty City Clerk James j. Mccormick,
who performs civil marriages,
banked $685., 1000 in seven years. Tips
received in performance of his duty,
he said, averaged $4,000 annually.
He could not account for $150000.
The Tammany law firm of Oh
vany, Eisner 81 Donnelly, headed
by George w. Olvany, former boss
OF the wigwam, deposited $5,283, O32
in seven years, but Seabury was
baked in his efforts to learn its
source when Olvany refused to sur
render his books.
Seabury did develop, however,
that the firm had been retained by
various real estate organizations to
expedite" cases before the board of
standards and appeals, and esti-
mate. It's name did not appear as
counsel Of record.

TINE problem of what to

exchange is to the receiver.

IF YOU are a member of the

suggest that as a hint to
Santa you hang up fish-net

a FTER all we wonder wheth-
IN err Mrs. Claus doesn't take
that trip with Santa. Climbing
down peoples chimneys and
stealing into strange homes at
all hours of the night isn't,
strictly speaking, on the up
and up.
IF the spirit of giving could
i be made as pleasant as the
spirit of taking, we could
have Christmas the whole
year round. Or maybe Con-
gress could arrange to cele-
brate birthdays on a monthly
or quarterly basis.

LONDON, Nov. II CU.S0.-The
courtroom farce staged in Vienna
by representatives of the former
Jessica Brown, one-time Follies
beauty, and an irate VienneSe
dressmaker, is London's gossip Of
the moment.
When is an evening gown in
delicate and if it is indicate
must the purchaser pay? That
was the question at issue.
Jessica, whose marriage to the
Earl of Northesk was dissolved
in 1928, is now Mrs. Jessica Cor

in Cairo. She decided to settle
out of court when the judge sug-

MISCONDUCT

MoRGANTowN, w. Va, Nov.
IT GNSO.
There were four doors but
there wasn't even one keyhOle."
Thus did Jesse H. May. one of
the "peeping janitorS" at Morgan
town High School, testify for the
State at the trial of Principal
John T. West for alleged miScon-
duct with two women teachers.
The trial entered it's second day
today.
And That Was Why
And that was why the three
janitorS, May. 0. D. Harris and
Percy H. Smith, had to drill the
little peephole in the ceiling Of
Principal Vests private office to
see what went on when the princi-
pal and the teachers occupied the
room after school hours. Said
Janitor May:
"Why, the only way we could
see into that room was through
the peephOle."
May and the other janitors were
ordered to put their eye to the
peephole by Superintendent of
Schools Charles McCorckle, whose
investigation resulted in the in
dictment of West and the teachers,
Miss Esther Williams and Miss
Blanche Garfield, on misconduct
charges.
"Frame-Up" Is Heard
Although Janitor Harris testi.
fled he peered through the ceiling
hole and saw West and Miss Gar
field on an upholstered divan,
the latter partially disrobed,
Vests friends cried 'frame-up."
They averred that the charges
against West were trumped up in
an effort to save McCorkle's job.
The superintendent of schools and
the principal, who had been on
the job for 10 years, had not
been friends. Efforts were being
made to GUST McCorkle.
Vests friends claim that Nc
Corkle hoped to save his job by
presenting to the school board
the information his janitorS gave
him about Principal West, hoping
that his contract would be re-
newed for fear Of a public expose
and consequent undeSired public
ity for the school system.

Cheers and songs rent the air as

were drained to the king, the bride
ana bridegroom, to each other and
finally to interested spectators who
surrounded the camp.
With King" Marc leading the
procession, the group went through
an intricate grand march for two

ASKS BOARD TO

Adoption by the board of super

asked by Scott B. Foulds. secretary
manager of the local farm bureau,
at this mornings meeting of the
board.
This ordinance has been passed
in number Of counties in Cali
fornia and has been Of value in pro-
tecting the dairy industry. 1t origi-
mated in Stanislaus county and
since that time has been adopted
in other parts.
1t is part Of a statewide pro-
gram and various farm centers in
Imperial county have already
passed resolutions favoring it. As
the board of supervisors has auth
ority only outside the incorporated
towns, the ordinance will be pre-
sented by farm bureau leaders to
the various city councils.
Foulds reports that the supervi-
sors were interested in the ordi-
nance and proposed to study it
further, stating however, that 1t
would be ineffective unless adopted
by the cities as we'll as the county.

VALLEY TO HAVE
DELEGATION AT
SWING DINNER

Imperial Valleys delegation to
the Swing testimonial banquet
which will be held in the Alexandria
hotel dining room in Los Angeles
Wednesday night, November 4. will
be one of scores of delegations rep
resenting all parts of Congressman
Swings district, according to the
committee in charge of arrange
ments.
All of Southern California is par
ticipating in the program honoring
Swing, declared w. A. Tondro,
chairman of the Imperial County
Republican central committee. I'VE
have already received many requests
for reservations at the dinner from
Imperial Valley people, but we want
more" Tondro said. This Is our
big chance to show the rest of the
state that we are thoroughly appre-
ciative of Swings achievements In
behalf of California"
The banquet precedes Swings
departure for Washington, by q
short interval 1t will, in all prob
ability, be the occasion of an an
nouncement as to his intentions in
senatorial directions.
Within the last rev weeks there
has been significant statewide
agitation urging Swing to become
a candidate for the United States
senate. Says Tondro: "a recent
visit by Swing to northern Califor-
MIA cities brought an amazing en-
thusiasm that indicates his pop
ularity is in no way limited to this
part of the state."I
Tondro asked the: any who wish
to join the valley delegation on the
trip to Los Angeles, get in touch
with him at once so that they may
be given a place at the banquet ta-
