that blighting disease known rather informally as "resolu- tionites." Our heated indigna- tion at governmental blunders finds itself cooled off through framing a lengthy resolution a. gainst this or against that, and then, having given vent to the protest which was smouldering in our souls, we go our way in perfect satisfaction until it is time to write another resolution
 What Alaskan town, civic organization or mass meeting has not heard these fiery words: MT. Chairman, I move you that this organization go on record as vigorously opposing. ...,..?' ?''
 And what Alaska town has ever seen more than a ripple On the water as a result of this unanimous vigorous opposition?
 we submit that some diff ferent action is necessary if we are going to have our rights re- cognized, but we ask, are there enough Irish in Alaska?"
 We point out that the only consistent opposition to bu- reaucratic domination of the political affairs in Alaska is by the Indians of Alaska. For the past twelve years they have fought good fight against in numerable odds and without the support of the general mass of people. We can say with con- siderable pleasure that more Irish have been aligned with labor in this fight than agains; it. And their support has been 3 source of considerable pleasure for when the game looks useless and hopeless, it is usually the Irish who give that bit of sup (port to win further Getermina-
 ton to continue the fight.
 We do not condemn the rest 0t
 the citizenry-but Alaska dOel need more Irish!

Stopping a Waste of Public Money

 However, Matanuska station will be operated in conjunction with the Alaska College. Ana the next legislature will be ask ed to finance the operating eX- pense. If it is used to produce supplies for the college, fine but as an educational factor, if the Federal government cannot make a go of 1t, how can the Territory? The legislature will have other problems more press ing than financing the expert mental farm-such things as balancing the budget, getting
 taxes out of defunct organiza- tions and corporations, adding
 more taxes on those corpora
 tions which will still be operat-
 ing. It will not have much timt

 cannot produce an agricultura

Judging the Future by the Past''

spite the fact that the Bureau of Education system was woe fully, criminally inadequate, de- spite the pleas and prayers of the Alaska Native Brotherhood, these good men and Democratic governor to be of Alaska not Cnly refused to give assistance to these people, but they stirred up the racial question in 9 manner that has retarded the kindly assimilation and friendly intercourse as citizens for many years.
 In order to establish the rights of citizenship, the father-in-law Cf Louis Paul was arrested on charge of illegal voting; the mother of Louis Paul and WI liGm Paul was arrested for pro- touring "an illegal vote." The ar rest of this good woman who has served for fifty years as 2 missioner and is called Mother"
 by virtually all Southeast Alas
 ka natives was one of the crimes of the Juneau politicians that Twill not be soon forgotten. The Indians have their rights, but they got them only over the op- position of the degenerated poli- tical parties of Alaska.
 That MT. Pegues should believe that the Indians will be hurt by the Republican plank which only promises to help to protect the property rights of these people and to give them adequate ed Iucational and health facilities, we very much doubt. For in the same breathe he states that educational facilities and pro vision for care of health are NOT adequate to meet condi- tions existing among the Alaska
 Indians today"
 Those good people are fully
 aware of this fact and they are
 rot stopping any effort to se-
 cure co-equal educational op- lportunity. And that opportunity
 does not come through the seg-
 regated, tribal and racial school
 systems. If it did, we would have
 schools for the Norwegian peo-
 pie; schools for the French peo-
 ple; schools for the German people; schools for each racial
 entity. And if anyone believes that the Indians of Alaska are going to be smothered by re-

The Cordova Daily Tim e S heads an editorial Are There Enough Irish in Alaska" which draws considerable interest in some sections. The editorial in rart follows:
 "Alaskans, more so than the residents of the states, have been interested in the long bat tie which Ireland has Waged to obtain a full measure of home government and self-rule.
 There may be some who feel that this little country of mighty fighters has gone too far in de- manding that the oath of alleg- lance to the crown be abolished, but on the other hand it is ap- parent that they could not take an oath to a government which was directly against their ideals. And on the other hand we be- llieve that the most radical of the Irish would, in event Of necessi- l ty stand shoulder to shoulder with the crown, oath or no oath, and fight the world to keep fly ing unsullied the Britian flag.
 Tt is much the same as the Alaskans loyalty to the United States. None there are who would hesitate for a minute to de- nounce the policy by which dis Itant Washington rules this ter ritory, but none there are who would see any other standard but the stars and stripes float ing from our stafs.
 And in this regard we are wondering whether there are enough Irish in Alaska, enough men who, like deValera, feel keenly their personal rights, and who, like deValera, are willing to take the tremendous chance o1 losing and being branded by Iignomity, against the slim Ichance of being chosen head ot 6 new and successful regime.

The wasting of public moneys las been stopped by closure ot the Matanuska agricultural sta ton which has been operating under direction of Prof. Alberts. M. D. Snodgrass for many years connected with the department has had active supervision. The station at Sitka was closed simultaneously with Matanuska ito save money.
 We are in hearty sympathy with the effort to save money not much it is true, but many a mickle makes a muckle." For many years the government has operated the station especially at Sitka and later the Railroad station. They expended much money to snow the WOrlu CIldS Alaska is an agricultural coun- try and grain and vegetables could be raised; that Alaska was rot one great big ice berg. And Prof. Georgeson and Dr. AlbertS both proved to the world that Alaska IS an Agricultural coun- try-all the world save the For estry Department.
 Agents of the Forest Depart n1ent go about informing pros pective homesteaders that there is no agricultural land in Alas, ka; that it costs too much tt clear the lands; that they nigh take up fve-acre tracts but ma! not take up 160 acre tracts.

Much is said of developing Alaska. Much more will be said. But nothing much will be done about it.
 M. D. Snodgrass, for several years connected with the Mata- nuska agricultural station has shown that the potentatial mar ket for farm products in An chorage alone is s271 1,972 annual ly. Eggs, and beef lead with ap- proximately $52,281 each with butter third with $34,254; can ned milk, $25,59O; pork (fresh) S22,7 ,76O; bacon, $10,7l1; mutton, $1T,9O0; etc.
 The Forestry Department a. gents do not take Southeastern Alaska seriously as an agricul- tural country. In fact, they are outspoken in their declarations that "This is on-agricultural land" They point to the cost of clearing the Wrangell Institute grounds-eight and a fraction acres for $18,5OO and declare that no farmer could clear land at those figures.
 Tn the first place the con- tractor in that instance new nothing about clearing land; in the second place he spent more time in his hotel room than on the job.
 We point to the Norwegian and Swiss mountains terraced into farming districts and in many other countries where the cost of building farming country ex- ceeds that of Alaska. What has been done in other countries certainly can be accomplished in Alaska-if the bureaucratic dambheads only gave citizens a chance to develop farming dis tricts.
 There is no better farming soil than the Wrangell Institute. A chemical analysis made by the Oregon Agricultural College shows it richer than any Oregon scil-but "it is not agriculture. country" It did have a few sticks of timber and a few stumps standing before cleared but the unused areas are cer- tainly agricultural soil and o' flae best kind
The Alaskan., 1932-08-12
Proving Alaska Suitable For Farming

What matters it to the Forest Bureau or any other bureau what the cost of clearing Alaska lands? Whose business is it if it costs S8O or $S,OOO dollars an acre?
 There are approximately IT, 100000 acres of land in South eastern Alaska alone and the only homestead acreage that anyone can get is of the limited 5-acre tracts-and on rare oc- casion a few acres over that but no 160-acre tracts. What benefit to the country to have all that land tied up in unused. untaxable land with the timber going to rot on it. What hurt to the country if 160-acre tracts are given and the men of the soil hew out their homes and eke out a living?
 When the Forest Department agents view their problem sanely and make honest effort to popu- late the territory, there will be Q change in their attitude. So long as they try to give the coun- try away; so long as they try to give large timber holders of the states corner on Alaska's tim Der, they will continue their n-the-manger tactics and retard development of the coun- try.
 This department recognizes that fact itself. In the Mata- nuska district the farmer may take up the larger tracts of ac- reage and they secure title to 1 the timber standing thereon. They may sell that timber to help finance their operations and thereby get on their feet. Il is a sane, common-sense policy The sooner they adopt such Q policy in Southeast Alaska, the better for the country. Let the homesteaders decide for them selves what IS farming country and let them hew their homes cut of the country and thereby develop other markets and other lines of industry.

Is the title of an editorial in the Empire. Really, MT. PegueS, who is evidently the daddy of the potpourri, should be given credit for his most recent brain storm.
 He declares that political cap ital is sought to be made in this Territory by the so-called Alaska plank of the Republican Party, and by a general plank relative to American Indians" in that same document. He writes as follows:
 Tn so far as he Alaska h. dians are concerned, they now enjoy every protection for pro 5perty rights that any other Alaskan does. The courts are open to them to redress any in- jury to either person or proper Ity. Therefore, that section is mere surplusage, and is neither harmful nor helpful.
 1 Educational facilities and pro- vision for care of health are not adequate to meet conditions eX- isting among the Alaska Indians today. They have not been for years, fact that was and is known to the present and pre- ceding administrations. There has been some improvement in the recent past; and there seems 1 to be a willingness to expand these services on an even larger scale. x *This is not a parti- gan question and any attempt to make it one will be mistake properly serious mistake for the Indians themselves"
 ] And that comes from the pen of MT. Pegues, the daddy o1 many diatribes against the h. dians' effort to secure a co-equa.

 tion by refusing educational op- portunity in the white schools Of Alaska support of which iS

LIONS TO SPONSOR TROOP
AND CUB PACK

At the meeting of the Lions club
on March %, they voted to sponsor
a second Scout troop and a Cub
Pack. The Cub Pack has been
meeting for some time. but no ap-
plication for a charter was made
until action was taken for the
sponsoring of the same. At present
there are twelve members of the
Pack and it will be limited to this
number until a more definite pro-
gram for their supervision can be
worked out. We hope that n pa
troll of boys in the second Scout
troop can pass their Tenderfoot
tests before the close of the school
term, so we may charter the troop
before that time. No attempt will
be made to build this troop above
the one patrol this year, but in
the fall we hope to build it up to
twenty-four members and do not
wish to be hampered by this pre-
liminary work at that time.
Rapid Advance During March
During the past month three of
the boys completed their Tender
foot tests-building this troop to
thirty-one registered members. Ly-
Clayton, Vincent Nedrud and
William Reichert advanced to sec
ond class Scouts, Gardner Brown
lee, Raymond Reichert advanced
to Star rank. They are the first
boys in Wolf Point ever to re-
ceive this rank.
Fourteen Merit Badges were
earned during the month: Gardner
Civics, Friendship and
Agriculture; Raymond Reichert,
Craftsmanship and Firemanship;
Eugene Dougherty, Carpentry, Fire
manship, Handicraft, Wood Work,
Wood Carving and Agriculture;
John Motterud, Reading; Dwight
Lohn Jr., Animal Industry; John
Livingston, Handicraft.
