THE OTHER HALF

A bill was introduced in Con- greSs last week which would pro- vide $675,00O for the relief of veterans, $75,OOO of which shall be immediately available for use in the national capital to feed the hungry veterans who arc pressing for the bonus bill to pass.
 Statement has been made that the veterans do not want their bonus. There is a card in reply to an application at hand which is numbered beyond four million more than four million appli- cations made before this card was entered.
 And yet, there are editors who have the audacity to say that the veterans do not want their bonus.

benefit from the laborerS' hire and who have given deaf ear to their warnings should now be satisfied. They helped to bring on such a condition-it must be what they wanted.
 There is remedy: A united, undivided effort to get the trap system out so that a large group of fishermen may be employed getting up the salmon pack. That is the only remedy. The trap system will not bring any money to the territory that will benefit the average business man. Home rule of the fisheries is lot of political hooey-tlle immediate necessity is the ao- solute and complete abolishment of the trap system. Believe it or not!

POLITICAL CONVENTIONS

In a few more days and the vortex of national politics will ce Chicago. First the Republi- cans will be nominating Presi- dent Hoover for another term. IL is not conceded that any other man has the ghost of a chance to get the nomination.
 A few more days following that will come the bray of the Democrats in the Windy City. Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt has the most delegates but in sufficient to make the grade oi, the first ballot. He has enough to stop any other candidate. "Tex" Garner and Al Smith have a corner on sufficient to block MT. Roosevelt. The history of past conventions is that the two- thirds rule of the democratic convention invariably defeats the candidate with the most delegates and a darkhorse elected.

ANOTHER EVIDENCE
 OF MONEY SHORTAGE

A meeting of the Board of Di- rectors of the Tanana Valley Fair Association was held re- gently to consider communica- tion from Governor Parks ask ing the Board to refrain from asking for any aid from the Ter 11torial treasury. The law allows a certain amount to aid these fairs from the territorial funds. The reason given in the com munication is due to the depict cd condition of the Territorial exchequer which makes it i'm possible to meet all appropria- tions provided for in the budget.
 Decreased revenues, due to failure of the last legislature to pass a revenue bill commensu.- rate with the appropriations IS the real reason for the deficit. The reason given by the Gov ernor is due to decreased rev. enues, due to general economic conditions, and stressed an un- ,,S,1a1 demand for funds for the relief of destitution, with a very probably increase in such de- mands during the fall and win ter.
 The Board decided to waive the allotment for this year and the territory will be saved a couple of hundred dollars. Hoo ray!!!

FUNNY, ISN'T IT

A big parade is staged in New York with the Mayor and other leading politicians, citizens and even ladies of the land taking part-a demand for beer. Pro- ceed with the parade-on with the march. Let us have beer.
 Another parade is started-a group of unemployed men and without noise or clamor without even the semblance of disorder. Banners flying, "the good old rag" in the van of the parade and placards asking for work and the chance to earn food and bread. Immediately the parade is declared a menace and the police come in droves and break up the parade. It is dan gerous to permit the radicals and communists and their ilk to parade.
 What a pass this nation has come to-permissible to demon strate a plea for beer and not permissible to permit a plea for food.

WHY THIS GOVERNMENT

It is our notion that govern ment exists for the promotion of contentment of it's citizens thru proper protection and adminis- tration of it's laws. That each and every citizen shall enjoy the benefits of his efforts from the resources of the country and seas and in the air and the sun and moon. When this govern ment has fallen to the point where it cannot give such con- tentment and protection to it's citizens, it is the right of those citizens to take such steps as will insure an early change-call 1t revolution, political or econ o1nic revolution or a bloody one. The spirit of '76 did not tolerate such slavery conditions as exist today with it's myriads of bu- reaus, snitchers, snoopers and spies; with its parasitic growths upon the body polftic with the cancerous political growths that fester the country.
 Since the days of the rebellion against King George TIT the foxy aristocrats began to build the foundations of this govern ment upon the quicksands and quagmires of private profit and rule by special interests. The peoples of the country have con- stantly been deluded, derided and footed by the pious-faced sanctimonious, hypocritical boss es-and the rule continues this hour.
 The dumb citizen enjoys being impoverished; enjoys being in misery; enjoys being without the independent spirit of the
The Alaskan., 1932-06-10

free heathen. Ninety per cent of all executive effort in our coun- try is spent in protecting pri- vate interests; private wealth. the dumb citizen is not even a cipher in the whole proceeding. Jest for inStance"-the Recon struction Finance Board, organ ized and instituted to dole out Federal aid (funds) to the hung ry banks-the starving banks, if you please. And then just re-
 that "a dole is an insult to the American citizen and will destroy his economic independ- ence" when effort was made Uo institute the five million dollar bond issue wherewith labor would be gainfully employed in public works.
 Just look at your own fair A)aska-with control of the fisheries of the WOrld-yet em- rioying citizens. Before next winter sets in right cold, there will be an appeal for food, for clothing, for medication-while today all the laws are for the benefit of the corporations the roor dumb citizen-including many whitecollared ones-don't understand this. They will when the pin of economic distress IS stuck into them and their ego tistic balloons are punctured. Watch and see.

THIS COMES ALSO
 FROM ALASKA

"The heart yearnings and un- Cuenchable desires of the work CTS are reflected in the appeal cf the masses of the people for the exercise of the right to work. They prefer work and the enjoy ment of opportunities to earn a living to relief supplied from any source or sources whatsoever. Employment and the develop raent of opportunities to secure work are of more importance to them than the appropriation of relief" From the recent appeal o. the American Federation of Labor to President Hoover and to Congress.

LIvENGOOD NO EXCEPTION

Livengood is a little mining district in the interior section of Alaska. Recently one of the rewsprints declared that "men out of work should not go to Llvengood in the expectation there will be a demand for their services at that place." Said the Fairbanks Chamber of Com merce: Please advise anyone intending coming to Lvengood for work that there is none to be had. In fact there is not enough for those already here."
 With all of the interior sec tion to draw from-with all of the reputed gold areas in the Fairbanks section, it would ap- pear that the people of that dis trict would be delighted to have more men go in and tramp the hills looking for more gold to bring out to the banks. But pos sibly there is no more gold in the hills and no more development work to be done. If so, stay away, Livengood can take care only of it's dead ones.

FOR DUMBHEADS TO READ
 OTHERS NEED NOT

The business men of Alaska are crying about hard times, no
 business and wonder what the future will bring forth. Listen: The cannery being operated at Rake employs 12O men-all
 but four of whom have been hired in Seattle. Four men were hired in Alaska. Several citizens of Rake are employed getting |out a few sticks of piles.
 MT. Business Man is interested in the earnings of Alaska labor. If it were not for Alaska labor spending its earnings in Alaska the business men might just as well shut up shop. The mail order houses could do the work or else the people could all go to Seattle for the winter. But:
 MT. Business Man has been in different to the pleas of Alaska fishermen to fight the imported labor system; to fight the too efficient trap system. The resi- dent labor has no market for his
 wares unless he goes to Seattle and is there hired by canneries tc return to Alaska to labor.
 The earnings of the laborers
 are insufficient to meet the poorest kind of living conditions Petersburg is no exception.
 Most of the fishermen to date
 have only been able to exchange fish for food and supplies in the most limited way. There is no cash circulating. There will be Inc cash circulating. Those who

CAN YOU JOIN THE PARADE

Two per cent of Americans own 60 per cent of the national wealth. Five per cent is owned hy 65 per cent of the Americans.
 The burden of most of the messages to Congress is to tax the poor more and the rich less. TO him that hath shall be giv- en and to him that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away"
 When one dose of castor oil is insufficient, take two. Join the two per cent if you can and stretch out the parade.

WASHINGTON G. o. P.
 FOR ALASKA

The convention of Washington State Republicans declared for a more liberal policy in en- couraging the prospecting of the natural resources" of Alaska.
 The Democrats have declared in their territorial plank for home rule of the fisheries ot Alaska"
 The interests in Alaska which talk of "home rule" for it's re- sources and citizenship, turn about and secretly oppose the very thing they are asking for. Home rule for the fisheries in Alaska will mean more stringent administration of the fisheries without favor. It will mean the tearing off of the mask of con- SerVatlOn, Whlcn mas covered the face of the administrative policy. This will tear out the pri- vileges of a certain class-the ruling class if you please. Which is not so good for when they be- gin to lose on their gratuities, then they begin to turn against the masses.
 It remains to be seen what will come forth from the two national conventions and will be even more interesting to see just how the program is carried out. With either party in control, Alaskans still remain skeptical.
