 So far, the Alaska Indians have made fine progress as citizens but studied effort seems to he made by certain interests in Alasa to force the Izidians into wardship. We do not believe that these interests fully appreciate what this will mean.

LET'S BEGIN OVER

The Speaker of the Ohio House of Representa- tives concludes that the trend toward multiplicity of laws goes hand in hand with that toward b',. reaucracy, and little thought will substantlate his conclusion.
 One cause lies in the specialization of inter- csts in American life. The average man has lit- tie understanding of the problems of other spe- cialists, but does understand his own; and he and his group increasingly look to legislation as means of solving those problems.
 He secures the introduction of bill calling for some new government activity helpful to his own purposes While doing so he encounters

YES, O'MALLEY DID IT

One of the press agents for the Bureau of Fisheries has been batting OMalley on the bacS declaring him responsible for bringing the salmon luns back to normalcy.
 Some men born fools, others are just idiots and still others are bought and paid for
 Back in the 1900s there were three runs Of salmon, distinct in every way from each other. Today, the first two runs are virtually gone and honest canner will deny this fact The third run was never overfshed or the spawning graunds depleted. The operators closed down before the last fish were taken. Adding the protection al- torded under the White Fisheries Law of 1924, tns run has begun to get back to it's normal runs.
 The proper thing to do now, is to close down fishing operations in June and July to give pro- lection to those depleted runs Open the season on the 1st of August and run the season straight through till the end of the season. TOUT years or such protection will build up the runs to normal cy. When OMalley does this, he will have some thing to about Not before.

 The fishermen in all directions are wonder ing where they going to get off at this winter It would seem that this should not be the worry ot the fishermen, but that of the resident business men,
 The average catch of salmon is around twen- ty thousand salmon. The average earnings of the fishermen is not much over one hundred dol. lars. The earnings of the Columbia river fisher is reported as being $1,9OOOOO. The four thousand fishermen, fishing on stretch of wat- per not over three hundred miles in length, earned more money than lessor number of Alaska fish er1nen with thousands of miles of coast line and streams to work on putting up more than eleven times the fish.

Third Party Threat Hurled
by Leader on Floor
of House.

Threat of a third party" to fight
the farmers battles was sounded
in the Indiana general assembly to-
day when approximately six hun
dred Hoosier ''sons Of the soil''
surged into legislative aisles and
lobbies enjoining then. senators and
representatives to relieve the bur-
densome property tax.
Eyes that have scanned diScour-
aging market reports turned in
tently upon the legislature, carrying
the threat of retaliation against
Republicans and Democrats alike if
tax revision is not accomplished.
The threat became vocal in the
house of representatives where
Larry Brandon, DeKalb county
farmer, and one of the keymen of
the Indiana Farm Bureau Fedora
ton, which sponsored the march"
on the legislature, was granted the
privilege of the floor.
Waiting for Relief
1--WE are waiting for relief" he
said. Il warn you it is dangerous
to delay relief, because the time will
come when all party lines will be
obliterated. We have been taught
what organization can accomplish.
Il want to leave this thought with
you. An ounce of prevention is
worth a pound of cure"
Brandon declared farmers
throughout the state are confronted
with the necessity of paying their
spring installment of taxes in two
months, and have no money with
which to pay it. Picturing the pros
pect of many of them being elected
from their farms, Brandon asked:

one for whose acquittal they
will fight, relatives of Schroe-

the defense table this morn

mother and father, and four sis
tiers jubilantly as he entered the
courtroom before the start of the

The accused man watched with
apparent vital interest all prospec-
