Tentative Work
 Planned, Juneau

Effort will again be made at Itne present legislature to repeal the Alaska Bone Dry Law. This law was repealed by the last le- gislature but vetoed by Govern CT George A. Parks.
 Effort will be centered on re- peal of the party primary law In previous legislatures efforts to repeal this law were not suc- CesSful as the plan was to return the elections to the old conven- |tion system. There is general be- lief that the system in Alaska should be changed but not to the old convention system. It is not improbable that the Idaho plan of primary elections will be fol- lowed-the plan as adopted at the state legislature this year.
 With the economic situation in Alaska in anything but a healthy condition, the cry is to reduce taxes. In order to do which less will have to be ap- rropriated.
 MT. Breuer, late commissioner of education. has recommended that the elective system of se- lecting men for that office be abolished and that a board shall appoint men to that office It is not improbable that effort will he made to throw that office back into the control of the fed eral interests which for many years has dominated that office

Delegate-Elect
 Hits Rail Rates

willie III oeaGJl6, last week Delegate-Elect, Judge James Wickersham declared that "Un- cle Sam will be>killing a goose that has laid many golden eggs and is capable of laying many many more if the proposed in- Ecrease in rates on the govern ment railway in Alaska are put over. "The people of Alaska are already required to pay the highest rates that prevail any where under the American flag To increase them would be put ting an unfair handicap both on the road and the territory as a whole" He declared.
 Since the United States ac- Quired Alaska, in 1867, the terri tory has exported $1, ,762, ,968, ,486 worth of fish, fur and minerals and has imported, largely from Seattle, Portland and San Fran cisco, $9O7,873.o o41 worth of pro- ducts during that period.
 ''ThiS makes Alaska's total trade with merchants and manu- tacturers in the United States moro than two and a half billion collars huge sum to be taken from an inhospitable wilderness by a few thousand pioneers.
 But this is a mere trickle to the great stream of wealth which will flow into the markets of the United States from Alas ka if the development-of the ter ritory is not impeded by such .,teps as the proposed increase in rates"
 Judge Wickersham will have mo congressional duties until next December unless a special .9eesicn should be ordered. He de- .olares the territcry's needs so 'mrerative that he will spend the summer in Washington.
 Tn 1o09, Judge Wickersham was first elected to represent Alaska at the national capital and served for twelve years in that capacity, in spite of a poli- tical machine which attempted on two occasions to steal his seat from him by crooked de vices.
 During his terms in Washing ton, Judge Wickersham was re- cognized as being the superior in every way of most of the re- representatives in congress and in- spite of the handicaps under which Alaska's representative must labor, accomplished many things for the territory. Mellow ed somewhat by years, the Judge is still reckoned as big man in the national congress and his rrevious contacts and friend ships will mean the accomplish ment of much good for the Ter ritory.
