SUPREME COURT
 FOR ALASKA

Delegate Wickersham has in- troduced Q bill in Congress which shall give to the Territory of Alaska, a supreme court which shall give sit in cases wherein small claims only shall be con- sidered. The court is to be com posed of the four federal judges resid ng in the territory and any judge who shall have sat in any case shall barred from partici- pating iii the decision of the court i'll any case on appeal.
 At present it costs around $l,500 to carry a case to the court of Appeals in San Francis co. The printing of briefs alone runs into considerable money and many who perhaps, really Lave a grievance cannot make an appeal lacking the funds to du so.
 The Territory of Hawaii has a supreme court which is func- tjoning without the limitations that are being imposed upon the proposed court in the Territory. We &0 not concede that the Hawaiians have any higher de gree of intelligence than the citizens of Alaska and therefore gre not entitled to any greater benefit of a supreme court than Alaska. Then, all things being equal, similar court should be provided for in the Wickersham bill providing for a suprema court for Alaska.

USE THEM OR TAKE
 THEM OUT

On another column is a note stating that Commissioner o. Malley has served notice to trap site owners who did not operate their sites this year to put them ln operation next year or lose them forever. Two exceptions Cnly are made.
 Now just what is the big idea? |? Weren't the local fishermen clubbed and broWbeaten enough last year by the trap operators? Wasn't their earnings small enough to satisfy the greed O. the operators or are they using Henry to try to scare the fisher Elen into acquiescent slavery?
 The Alaska Indians were slave owners and while they have been mighty docile in the past when the dictatorS of Alaska's fishery regulations attempt to broWbeat them their docility must not b. mistaken for fear nor must theil temper be tried too much. If such policy continues, some day Henry O'Malley will wake up iil heaven or hell and 9 nice num- Der Of canneries will lay smould- ering in ashes. The Indians are fatalists and they are not 50 civilized as to fear the law when they have been hurt too much. There is a limit to ali things; rubber is stretchablt- only to a certain point.

MONROE DOCTRINE OF
 EUROPE IS PREDICTED

"The present move toward tariff protection in England and on the continent is developing 2 European Monroe Doctrine to be built up for the purpose ol maintaining European security over the United States, just as 100 years ago cur Monroe Doc Urine was announced in order tC maintain American security a. gainst Europe" said Francis P. Miller, chairman of the World Student Federation.
 MT. Miller spoke on The Eco homie and Financial Relations Between Europe and the United States" at the University Y. M. c. A., Seattle.
 MT. Miller believes America eventually will have to adopt free trade, and points out that just as Lincoln declared WE could not exist half slave and free" neither can the world exist half free trade and half high tariff"

DEAR OLD SOURDOUGHS"
 By James R. Little

We are like trees, dear old Pals! You and I, in the autumn dying glory Who have lived life bravely, drivingly, and stand tC the last, sturdy and fine. Losing cur hold on life, without thought of sadness. Trees die in the au- tumn, to live again in the spring time. And while the happy birds sing rich dawn notes across the shadows of the hills, brilliant hues still throw their massy glorious splender against the autumn sky Flinging a daring challenge to us to end life gal lently, smilingly and joyously, heads up and colors flying.
 Let us once again, old Pals, dream of the dim years passed into oblivion where you and l mushed Chilkoot Pass. Let us dream of the Yukon's evergreen shore line. And as We dream in

SCHOOL CHILDREN MAY
 BE |NOCULATED As A "
 HEALTH PRECAuT|0N

1 On recommendations of Dr. A. D. Haverstock, City Health Off, cer, the School Board has decided to have each boy and girl at- tending the Seward School ino- culated against diphtheria.
 This inoculation is in three portions or shots and will per manently immunize the children against diptheria.
 "In this matter we desire the parents consent for the inocula ton. If any parents object to their children being inOculated, please give them a written rel quest to be excused. This inocula- ton will not cost the parents any thing, as the School Board and Doctor Haverstock have arrang- ed to stand the cost of the ino- culations.
 We believe that it is for the best interest of the School and the community, to have all the children immunized against diph- theria and other contagious dis eases, as funds and time will per- init. We ask that the parents give this matter their careful con- sideration, and cooperate with the Health Officer and the School Board in preventing any further cases of diphtheria in the Seward School" #.###.

CHANGES IN VET
BUREAU NEAR

Officials of the Veterans Ad-
ministration are still silent on the
probable date or extent of de.
centralizating the organization
and transferring a large part Of
the work and many Of the en-
ployes to regional offices.
However, the sentiment is fast
spreading among the administra-
ton personnel that the decen-
tralization is scheduled for about
the first of the year, and that
only the necessary headquarters
force of the national offices, to-
gether with the relatively few
employees of the Washington re-
gional office, will remain in
Washington.
Director Frank T. Hines Is now
expected to announce definite
plans, date and scope the first
week in December.
The present night-work system,
under which most of the admin
istration employees have to work
three hours a night for three
nights week, is regarded by
many as indicating that the de-
centralization will be soon and
also sweeping in scope. The
night work iE to bring all work
up to date to facilitate transfer
and to minimize the inevitable
getting behind of the work dur
ing transfer. the employees be-
ueve, in the continued absence
of any word from the director.
Protests continued to be heard
this week against the unpaid
overtime, with some sections com.
planning that their work was up
to date but that they had to
sit idle nine hours a week at
night while other sections caught
up with their work.

FEDERAL UNIONS
PLAN DRIVE
CORA ANN

In order to present as strong
a front as possible in their re
form program before Congress,
the 412 locals of Federal EN-
ployes unions all over the coun-
try are making a concerted ef-
fort this week and next to in
crease their membership.
The II unions in Washington,
which have about third of the
total membership in the National
Federation of Federal Employees,
are taking a leading part in the
campaign.
Local No. 2, the departmental
local here, which last year raised
its membership from 5000 to
5000, hopes for 1000 before the
congressional welfare program
gets under way. The District of
Columbia Local No. 80, which
has been rather inactive of late,
is being rejuvenated.
The Adjutant Generals Office
Local No. 372, now claims two
thirds of the potential members
are on its roster.
Banners and cups are offered
each branch of the larger locals,
and each small local, for the best
showing in the present drive.

BYRNS STRONG
FOR ECONOMY

When Representative Joseph
w. Byrns becomes chairman Of
the House Appropriations Com
mittee, now regarded as prac-
tically certain since the Demo
Gratis seem sure Of organizing the
House, he will displace a Repub-
lican chairman who is in some
ways curiously similar and in
others opposite.
The Tennessee Democrat, who
will return in December as mem
ber of Congress for the tenth
time, is just as strong in his
way for Federal economy as Rep
reSentative Will r. Wood, Repun-
lican, present chairman of the
committee.
Both believe the Hoover Ad-
miniStration has been extrava-
CANT, although Byrns says so with
more gusto. Both claim they will
try to reduce Federal expendi-
lures in the coming Congress
expenditures which Byrns calls
"a riot Of extravaganza"
However, lately ByrnS has taken
the opposite side of the fence
from Wood on reduction Of sal
aries for Federal employees. He
makes clear that he would as
soon think Of cutting my own

MERGER URGED.
Of PERSONNEL
AGENCIES
Director McReynoIds Claims
Efficiency Requires Nam
ing Single Head

The merger Of all Govern
with personnel, which is advo-
Gated by Thomas f. Campbell,
president of the Civil Service
Commission, and will he recon-
mended to President Hoover in
the commissions annual re-
port, is also favored by the Per
sOnnel Classification Board.
William H. McReynolds, dircc-
tor, reminded today.
Director McReynolds believes
the increasing number of com.
missions and boards, each having
something to do with administer
ing personnel, classification, wage
and other problems affecting
Government employees, tends to
lack of unity of operation, and
that single department having
full jurisdiction would be an
improvement.
Needs Single Head
However, to gain the utmost in
efficiency, this new agency should
have a single administrative head
who would have direct contact
with the President of the United
States, be responsible to the
President for the proper function
ing of personnel matters and
have complete authority over all
subordinating offices, Mr.. Nc
Reynolds believes.
Whether called a commission,
a board, an agency, an admin
istration, a service, or something
else, there should be no division
Of authority among number of
men, but if necessary a brand
new organization should be estab-
lished with one man in charge
and responsible, is his attitude.
The commission form of gov
ernment is not suitable for ad-
ministrative purposes, and if the
merged agencies started out un.
der commission form and then
failed to work properly (Which
he thinks likely, the unification
might be abandoned without a
fair trial, he contends, suggesting
a complete reorganization from
