CONGRESSMAN FREE
 OF CALIFORNIA;

Congressman Free of Cali fornia is recognized in Congress as the spokesman of Henry o. Nlalley O'Malley furnishes the propaganda and most of the ma terial which the California solon spouts on the floor of Congress whilst legislating against Alas kanS.
 Recently the international nalibut treaty was before the House and it provided for the search and seizure of American vessels on the high seas and pro- vided further that trials were to be held in California courts. De- legate Wickersham incorporated an amendment which provided that in such cases, trial should be in the nearest Territorial dis tlict court. MT. Free protested vigorously asserting that mo Alaskan jury would decree a forfeiture" It is suggested that perhaps the Californian would like to have Alaska cases tried in Gloucester, Mass.

 "The fishing industry and the communities most interested in it do not want to be placed in the position of opposing any legiti- mate industrial project but they gre abundantly justified in in- sisting that the prior rights of this established industry be re- cognized and protected against damage from new industries, and they should at once mobilize their forces to defend this posi-. ,n."

1876 1882?

The Democratic platform fO,' 1876 said: we denounce the present tariff, levied upon nearly 4,000 articles, as a masterpiece of injustice, inequality and false pretense. It yields a dwindling, hot a yearly rising revenue. It has impoverished many indus tries to subSidize a few. It pro hibits imports that might pur chase the products of American labor. It has degraded American commerce from the first to ;n-. feriOr rank on the high seas. II has cut down sales of American
 manufacturers at home and a- broad and depleted the returns of American agriculture-an in- duStry followed by half of our Leople."
 Be it remembered a Republi-- can president was in the char a.- the time the above was incor- porated in the Democratic plat form. The electors of the coun- try immediately elected Hayes, 9 Republican into office. If we would read some consolation to- cay from the dire condition of the country and the threats Of changing from one major party 10 another, we might stop a few minutes and look back to 1878. The people today are not much different from 1876.

A MAN AFTER OUR OWN
 HEART

out III Missouri, while the Jackson banquet was going on, ex-SenatOr James Reed, indicat- ed that he was willing to be drafted as a candidate fO Y nomination for President of the United States. He made seven proposals which will oe suff : ciently plenty for any other candidate to folloW-all indi-, c.ting decentralization of the federal government and all of them summed up in his second proposal, which reads thus:
 We should repeal every fed eral statue which imposes upon the federal government powers CT duties that can as well be performed by the states"
 By and large we would say that the senator would be term ed a radical" in Alaska or he would be a progressive republi- can and no doubt not allowed to even mention that he ever was a democrat by that faction which has trimmed the territory for not a few years.
 There is considerable dissatis- faction with the conditions in Alaska, with the condition which rermits federalS to dominate territorial affairs and dictate to it's duly elected officials. And that dissatisfaction is not ell tirely with the progressive re- publicans. Not one bit 9f it-a great many democrats are ir sympathy with the demand oi giving the territory back to its duly elected officials and to the election of more officers. But this dissatisfaction is confined mostly to that element which is lnot so used to praying about

CONSERVATION"

The following is taken from a recent issue of tn e Seattle Times:
 Tt is now the policy to con- trol the injurious species of ani- mals while not eXterminating them entirely. This plan serves two worthy ends-representa- lives of all forms of wild life will be preserved, and life jobs assured to professional hunters on the federal or state pay rolls.
 For the next ten years the government is setting aside $1,- G0O,00O annually for co-opera : tion with state and local agen- cies in the work of controlling predatory animals.
 It is pertinent to remind th2 reader that while this bill was pending last spring that natur- alists and others, big game hunters and associations, plead cd earnestly for the various ani- mals.
 They feared the general ex- terminal of certain animals and wished to make sure that they could go into the wilds at any time and hear a coyote howl or see a wolf lope gracefully over the plains. As a result of the urgent protests, the Biological Survey promised to hold its band.

NO MONEY TO HELP

It is interesting to read the debates between Senator Borah, Senator LaFollette and Senator Fess about the LaFollette Costi- san bill which was sent to it's grave in the Senate. Senator Borah reminded Fess that the government loaned the banks and trust companies two billion dollars to keep them from starv- ing. The government is not in the business of lending money to help starving people-but lending it to banks, that busi- ness-good business for some.

 responsible.
 Now please do not get angry ever this statement for We can prove it by no less an authority than the Alaska Road Commis- sion.
 Section 29 of the Compiled Laws, an Act of Congress passed May IA, 1906, provides in part: "The said board (Alaska Road Commission) shall prepare maps, plans and specifications of every road or trail they may locate and lay out, and whenever more than $20,000 in the aggregate, shall have to be expended in the actual construction of any road CT section of road designed to be permanent contract for the work shall be let by them to the lowest responsible bidder, upon sealed bids, after due notice, under rules and regulations to be pre- scribed by the Secretary of War The board may reject any bid if they find they deem the same unreasonably high or if they find that there is a combination among bidders. In case no re- sponsible and reasonable bid cal De secured, then the work may be carried on with material and men procured and hired by the board. -. The same rules as to the manner in which the work Of repair shall be done, Wheth CT by contract or otherwise, shal govern as in case of origina construction of the road O. trail"
 Under the Act of Congress creating the Alaska Fund the Alaska Road Commission has re- ceived from license taxes de- rived from the Territory S3,770, coo; it has also received from the Territorial Legislature, un cer the so-called cooperative agreement, $1,7OO,OO0 and iron the Federal government $11, 750,000, total of SEVENTEEN MILLION, SEVEN HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-TWO THOU SAND DOLLARS.
 We are unble to find any re- cord of a contract ever being let for the construction of any road by the Alaska Road Commission nor can we find any trace of bids ever being called for.
 It is therefore, quite evident that the Alaska Road Commis- sion finds the people of Alaska either unreasonable Or irrespon- sible.
 Experience has taught tn. value of competition in the con- struction of public works. Al buildings, even in Alaska, ar< constructed upon competitive bids; the Bureau of Public Road, functions satisfactorily under the same system; every state o municipal road building activity n the Union works on this basis Congress by the law quoted a. bove, attempted to extend the same principle to Alaska, bu the Alaska Road Commission calmly disregards' the clear pro. vision of the statue, builds III it's own machine and does as it pleases.
