City Elections Useless

Parliament has passed bill abolishing municipa, elections and making city officers nomi- native, thus confirming the ex- isting state of affairs.
 Under-Secretary of State Ar pinati, speaking for Mussolini, said:
 Municipal elections were ne cessary in the past, when, be- cause the national government was impotent, they were an eff fcacious remedy against ab- uses of public office. But now that the national organs of vigilance have sufficient author ity to prevent alterations of city administrators, municipal elections have lost every reason for being"

Combine Asks Govt
 Forest Control

Stronger federal control over national forest and watershed areas was urged before a senate committee by w. B. Greeley of Seattle, ex-chief of the United States forest service.
 Greeley, now secretary of the West Coast Lumbermen's assoc iation, was testifying on legis- lation to transfer the western public domain from the federal government to the states.
 He was member of President Hoover's public land committee, out refused to sign it's report. The committees recommenda- tions are embodied in the bill under construction.
 My conviction is," he sai,1, that one of the things that should be provided definitely for in legislation of this character should be to round out and where necessary expand t h e boundaries of the national for ests as further areas of federal administration and conServa- tion.
 ''The bill does not set up in sufficiently adequate terms the purposes that the national for ests should serve, including range administration and in- cluding a very positive declara- tion that lands important for control of erosion and preserva- tion of water supply should be included in the national for eSts."

Delegates Desire Party
 Harmony

Alaskan Republicans are pointing out the fact that for Alaska Republicans to obtain recognition and strength at Chicago, the two delegates to be elected in the April Primaries should be united in opinion and stand behind their National Committeeman for aska, showing those in authority at the Convention that the Nation al Committeeman for Alaska re- presents the Republicans in the party and in party councils.
 If anything is desired from the Alaska Delegation it should come from the Committeeman, in order that he may gain strength to help party workers and others when the time comes.

According to a recent an- The Alaska Rail road proposes to put on a fast freight service between Seward and Fairbanks. The railroad plans to run a Brill car carry ing fast freight, perishables and mail on a through run, stopping only at Curry to change crews.
 We view this as one of the most progressive moves made by the railroad since it was con- structed. It indicates a change of attitude toward the Alasken public in that the railroad now proposes, by offering a needed service, to make a bid for the good will and business of the in terior towns. At the same time it must stand as a sad com mentary upon the blundering
 efforts of the Howell cimmittee when they attempted, by in- creasing freight and passenger
 tariffs, to force the Alaskan

Noah's Ark Story

American Indians had their own Tradition of "Noah's ark" and the flood, strangely similar to the Bibles account.
 Dr. John R. Swanton of the Smithsonian Institution reports that long before the arrival of the whites in North America the Choctaw Indians of southeast ern United States had a legend of a great flood sent to destroy mankind for it's wickedness. The Indian Noah" like his Biblical prototype, was fore warned of the flood, says Dr. Swanton. He spread the news from village to village, but no enc needed him.
 1 Then came a time of total darkneSS and cold, With 1nceS- sant peals of thunder. Wild ani- mals crowded in from the for ests around the campf1res.
 Then came what seemed to be a light advancing from the north, but which was really the gleam of great waters rushing over the land. No one was saved except the prophet. He made a raft of sassafras logs and float ed upon it for weeks. A blue bird with red eyes came to lead the way to an is land which had appeared above ithe flood in the direction of sun rise.
 The Alaskan Thlingets tell stories of the creation of the world and the destruction Of mankind and animals by flood.

Copper on Tobbogan

While international producers continued their informal con- yerSations on the further cur tailment of copper output, the price of, electrolytic metal eased in the face of slack demand and gloomy reports of a deadlock among conferees.
 Some electrolytic copper was offered at 6 cents a pound, a drop of a quarter cent. It was said that second hands were willing to sell as low as 534 cents. No sales at either of the figures, however, were recorded
 The official price of Copper Exporters, Inc, for foreign ship ments stood at 65s cents, all though it was said that certain tonnages were being offered at GR cents. There was a slack demand and no sales at this price.
 It was announced that F. Pisart, representing the Belgian Katanga Mines, and Sir Auck- land Geddes, head of important properties, expected to sail for home. They have been conferring with American in- terests on curtailment and re- vision of the selling rules Of Copper Exporters, Inc-Seattle Star.

Railroad Shows Progessiveness

nets of good business in that no consideration was given t h Q possibility of setting up rates that not only were excessive, but were an invitation to every dog boat operator, truck owner, and airplane carrier in the vicinity of the railroad to make a bid for it's. business. Blind to the fact that the public cannot be bludgeoned into using the railroad when there are cheaper means of transporta- tion, blind to the fact that the way to encourage use of the railroad as a carrier is by giving a satisfactory service, and ser vice at a reasonable price is what the railroad has to sell. Let the railroad offer a sup erior service, lower rates to a

Fellow AlaSkanS:
 I solicit your support for the nomination for reelection to the office of Auditor at the com ing Republican primary, that I may continue the fight to serve the people of Alaska, by so con- ducting the office of Auditor that the law creating that office may be fulfilled and the office maintained as a Democratic institution apart from a bureau cratic organization for the full benefit of the people of Alaska.
 A quarter of million dollars more money than was available was appropriated by the last Legislature. Thus, it became necessary that careful manage ment be exercised in appor- tioning the funds so that the necessary expenditures would be assured sufficient money for the biennium.
 Eighty-three per cent, of the total appropriations are expend- able under the direct super vision of the Governor and was early apparent that he was not going to so manage the distri- button of funds that sufficient money would be withheld for the payment of primary claims. I'm mediately the controversy be- gan as to whether or not the Auditor would be permitted to disburse the funds as provided by the law creating his office. The Governor, with the aid of the Attorney General and the Treasurer, who composed the Board of Examiners, has so far been able to usurp this duty. The law creating this Board was passed by the last Legislature.
 A financial statement issued by the Auditors office and handed to the Governor May 15, 1881, predicted that if the aver age monthly rate of expendi- lures were made, the Treasury would be without funds by the first of the year. The Board of Examiners has supported the Governor in his extravagant ex- penditures with the statement that there would plenty of funds at all times during the bien- tlium.

Territorial Auditor Points Out Some
 Plain Facts

February 29, 1882, was $337,- 865.38.
 During the month of Novem- Der, I visited Seattle on Terri torial business, and while there interviewed some of the can nerymen, asking them for the early payment of their taxes on account of the depleted cOndi- ton of the Territorial Treasury. This appeal was responded to by several companies and a survey of early tax payments received by the Treasurer shows that the canneries paid a total of $339,- 310.07 for different taxes since the first of this year. These tax es would normally have been paid March 15. Therefore, the total amount of cash on hand as shown by the Treasurer's statement is just about offset by the total of the early payment of cannery and fish taxes. This condition proves the prediction made by the figures issued by the Auditors office on May IS, 1881, and I now state that there will not be sufficient taxes this year with which to pay the op~- eration of the government. The shortage will appear abou t September of this year. This date may be varied, depending on whether or not vouchers are withheld for payment, as was done during the month of De- cember, 1881, to maintain the cash balance in the Treasury.
 Shall the operation of the Old Age Pensions, School mainten- ance and Pioneers Home be maintained?
 Therefore the main issue of this year will be whether or not sufficient money is retained to meet the primary claims, such as pensions, school maintenance end operation of the Pioneers Home. I pledge my every effort to fulfill the obligations of the office in the protection of these funds. If the Auditors office is to remain both a necessary and a beneficial office to the people of the Territory, it must have the support of the ( people. I therefore both humbly and earnestly ask your endorsement for the nomination for the office of Auditor in the coming pri-I mary election.

West Coast Candidate States His
 Political Principles

KlaWock, Alaska I
 March Is, 1882 MT. Louis F. Paul,
 Petersburg, Alaska.
 Dear Paul:
 This is in response to your letter dated March 8, in which you requested that I state my political principles, platform, past record, and things hope : to accomplish if elected. I filed for nomination to the ; lower house on advice of some friends from the Prince of Wales Island and Ketchikan. Needless to say that this i Sthe first time I have aspired for such office. AS candidate for nomination to the lower house on the Demo c1atic ticket, I am not making any promises because, I know, from my own experience, that the people of Alaska are fed up on promises.
 Prior to every electlon, we are told of the unfair conditions that are forced upon us by which every party happens to be in power. We are also told of how the people of Alaska are be- ing exploited by the interests i from the outside thru their a. gents that dominate the inn rortant offices of this territory, and how this injustice would be curtailed if we vote for who ever happens to be doing the talking. As I have said before, we are promised to death. It seems to me, after listening to all of this as we have in the past, it is high time that the people of Alaska get together and demand action. The fact that every candidate Iputs these statements before Jus only proves that every one in this territory realizes that there is something wrong.
 The Alaska Native Brother hood, of which I am a member, has worked for years in trying to check the unfairness and to bring about conditions that will enable, not only the Indians of this territory, but all others that have made their homes in this country, to a better living and economic condition.
 The people of Alaska, parti- cularly those of us that reside in this Division, know that the main barrier to better econ omic condition is the Fish Trap. It is true that the trap owners have money invested but what about the resident seiners? they, too, have money invested and : families to take care of. Unfor- tunately, the Powers That Be" in congress are led to believe that a fish trap is a necessity for the operation of a cannery. We only have to take notice of , how the canneries in British Columbia manage without them. We have two canneries here in Klawock which get along very nicely without a single trap.
 The average business man has, in the past, favored the trap owner. am sure this tend ency will be reversed after the experience of the uast two years. It is a recognized fact, that when the fishermen m a k e money the business man also prospers.
 The Alaska Native Brother hood has been shouting to the public the injuries from the fish trap to the people of Alaska. We are not trying to Tn any one out o: Alaska, but instead are trying to improve conditions so that this territory may be a better place in which to live.
