the people. In order to get real self-gOvernment there must be some sort of County or District governments. The municipal governments help the situation some, but there are many things that are of local concern where it is essential to exercise local control beyond municipal limits.
 As a whole the bureaus that are operating in Alaska are do- ing the best they can do under the laws and distant executives that control them. Time has proved that Alaska troubles have rot been due to the personnel of the public service. The diff culties lie deeper. It all depends upon who makes the laws and controls the natural resources. The important thing is who has the last word. There was a time when some people thought our troubles would be over if a few of the ministerial officials were r ade elective by Alaskans. That W, s tried, but it has not reached the source of the trouble. The elective, officials cannot cover | h e details of government throughout a Territory of near ly 600,000 square miles and pro- vide self-government to the peo rle. That cannot be done with cut local organizations. Tn e remedy for Alaska is full Terri torial government. Otherwise we shall have bureaus or other non- resident agencies from Washing ton or Juneau, or some other place.

We Condemn the System--Not Banks

In our editorial "The Press Y
 The Tax Bill-The Bank Re-
 serves and Tight Money" it is
 pointed out to us it might be con
 strued as an attack on some particular bank. Such a conclG- sion is in error.
 The Legislature appropriated
 more money than it had coming i i'll as revenue. It based it's ap- appropriations upon figures furn- ished by Treasurer Smith and ignored the figures presented by
 Auditor Cole-the latter's fig
 ures showed that unless the
 revenue bill was changed there would be a deficit. And with the Closure of the Bristol Bay packs in 1885 as indicated by CommiS- sioner O'Malley, and with falling revenues, that the Territory's financial condition would be serious.
 AS predicted by MT. Cole, the i Territory found it necessary to
 withdraw it's reserves from the banks-all banks. This money is a reserve in the banks covered by suitable stock and bonds. It lis not considered good banking to hold 40 or 50 per cent re- serve when the law does not re- quire more than 20 per cent. That 30 per cent differential is capital that is working for the bank. So, according to general practice the banks are holding their reserves as close to the minimum as required by law.
 The sudden withdrawal of Territorial funds, the forced liquidation of stocks and bonds at even present prices is not good business for any bank. That was illustrated in the Hyder Bank which had to sell twice as.

Wanted: A Real Leader

eral. George B. Grigsby surpris- cd his friends with the showing that he made in the last pri- mary and that showing was made upon the platform of complete abolishment of the fish trap. Had he been opposing Candidate Dimond alone, he would have swamped his op- ponent.
 Dan Sutherland held his Of flee as Delegate because of his light against the fish trap and special privilege. He earned the love and respect of his people in Alaska. Dan spent every energy n fighting O'Malley and his mis- directed conservation. And his regular return to Congress is proof of the fact that more Alaskans believed him right than otherwise.
 Now for the past ten or twelve years there has been lone voice pointing the way to an economic independence for Alas ka. William L. Paul, his asso- ciates in the Alaska Native

 have been consistent in their
 demand for the complete abol-
 ishment of the trap system.
 They point out that resident
 labor gainfully employed in the fisheries meant more to the ter ritory than the trap system
 which each year took toll of the fisheries and which toll their owners took to the states to
 spend. The resident business re- |ceived a few crumbs to pacify them and it took mighty little
 to pacify some. But, with the crumbs growing less and less, with resident business becoming Irlore hungry each year owing to
 the fact that their trade can no
 longer trade, the prejudices are

much stock to cover the Terri.
 torial funds that were on de-
 pOsit in that bank That is, in
 order to protect the Territorial funds that were on deposit in
 that bank and return it to the Treasurer that Bank had to sell
 $30,000 worth of stock to meet the $15,OOO deposit.
 All of which should not have been necessary had correct fig ures been presented to the legis-- lature to permit it to draw up a proper revenue bill to meet the appropriations. This was not done therefore the Treasurer had to withdraw the tail-end of it's resources from the banks. The reserves were lowered and in order to cover up there had t0 be sale of stocks and bonds or calling in of loans which would ordinarily have been per- mitted to stand. The hardship through lack of proper business acumen and foresight has creat- cd a money stringency which should not have been. In the end, the business men must pay such bills.
 We repeat these facts to show that the weaker banks are at the mercy of the Treasurer and that a grave injustice has been done to the stockholders of some of the banks and to many Alaskans in business. It is not an attack on the banks there is no malice back of the thought. We are dealing in principles of benefit to the territory, a protection to the banks and bankers and an aid to the business men of Alas ka. Any other construction on the editorial is made by the reader and not the intention of 1 the writer.

On several occasions Republ:- can voters declared, "If Paul were not an Indian I would vote for him. He is one of the ablest men before the public in the Territory" And because his grandparents were down on the leach to meet those who em- parked from the Mayf1ower, he is declared ineligible for a leader ship which he has held anyhow.
 On another column of this is sue we reprint a statement by J. E. Johnson, Republican candi- date for Senator for the First Division. Following that state n,ent we reprint a circular which was sent us from the West Coast and which is the platform of a Democratic candidate for the Territorial House. N. R..

in Alaska which can furnish any employment to the 60,000 people or the territory. Through the Operation of seine boats and through employment in the can- ,neries. The Demmert Packing l and Peratrovich Packing Com 'panies in Klawock Inlet point
 the way with their approximate Fly 300 resident employees oper- ating those canneries and with
 as many seine crews employed
 as could be used. But blind men
 like the editor of the Chronicle,
 men who depend upon the re-
 sident population for it's circula- tion, are unable to see these ! things.
 The best that they can hope
 for these citizens is that they
 shall peddle their native arts,
 basketry, totem carving "and any of a dozen other things ''
 The last being definitely vague fer the purpose of making the readers wool-gatherers.
 Right now, with but little at- tention paid to totem carving, ! the scant half dozen doing the
 work find their fields limited.
 And this is not excluding orders from the several curio stores in the states. The weaving of
 basketry is so slow and tedious and the market so unwilling to Ieven allow a few cents a day for lthe work, will not soon permit
 this to become any sort of an in-
 dustry.
 So return to the fisheries: If
 the Chronicle joined the parade in opposition to bureau rule or misrule; if they joined the parade in opposition to foreign CTS invading the fisheries in
 dustry of Alaska with the trap system and permitted the gain full employment of Alaskans, they would see an increase of population till there would be 10000 in the Territory instead of the short 6O,0OO. Tine added population would invite capital and other industry for it is an economic fact that industry follows the population. The re- sidents would have more en- |ployment and the Chronicle would not have to urge that the Indian population forsake their fight against the trap system by going back to a civilization that they are being taught to forget. Progress can never be made by going backward with any race of people, Perhaps the good editor does not realize this, if he understands it.

Pointing to a Leadership

The young editor of the Ket- chikan Chronicle has become a self-appointed leader of the ab- oiginal people of Alaska. He leads the way with the following editorial in a recent issue of that paper:
 "The political leadership that has taught the Indians that their only occupation is to seine. that their only aim in life is to abolish the fish trap, should be displaced by an intelligent lead ership that will teach them not only to seine but to seek a means of living in other pursuits available to them; the exercise ct their native art, which has a ready market, the planting of gardens which would stock their homes with something besides dried fish, and any of a dozen ether things"
 If the good looking young editor of the Chronicle would step out of his office and move about the several Native villages in the First Division he will find that these people have more gardens, in proportion to pop ulation than the white citizens. That long before any white men appeared in Alaska they culti- vated gardens of their own, that they have a greater assortment of greens which nature pro- yides, including the store vari- cities than other citizens eat, that they are just as competent Or boats as captains and en- gineers, as boat builders, as car- penters, as machinists, as miners in hard rock with machines, as teachers, preachers and other lines of industry and profession. We repeat, if this editor and others would get out into the highways and byways looking for competent educated Indian citizens, he will find them.
 Not for nothing has education been among them for the past fifty years; not for nothing has the Alaska Native Brotherhood and it's leadership demanded CO., equal educational opportunity. Even today, the school census in both Territorial and Indian Bu- reau Schools shows that there are more Indian children at tending the schools than white and this naturally has a devel- opment that the Chronicle $ urging.
 The Brotherhood and it's lead CTS have urged, have demanded opportunity for All Alaskans to earn a living from the fisheries. That is the only basic industry

Gilman Company Has
Goodrich Warehouse

A warehouse for the B. r. Goodrich
Tire and Rubber company of Akron,
Ohio, has been established at the M.
B. Gilman company in Bismarck and
anyone interested Is invited to in
spect the tires In stock.
In this warehouse will be carried
one of the most complete stocks Of
tires In western North Dakota for
service to local motorists and dealers
In this territory and eastern Mon
tana.
The stock consists not only of the
world-famous Goodrich Silvertown
tires. but also allied lines such as ra-
diator hose, tire patches, tire cement,
and many other accessories.
Goodrich Silvertowns offer several
remarkable advantages" according to
Gilman, among which are superior
traction and protection against skid
ding, better protection from danger
Gus blowouts, quieter running. easier
steering and slow uniform tread wear.
These are accomplished by a new
tractive tread design-rubber forced
into the head of the cords, giving pro-
lection against friction, heat and wear
and very heavy tread and sidewalks
of tough. long-life rubber. These tires
have we'll earned their name Of Safe
ty Silvertowns'."
The Flying Silvertown" commands
considerable interest at present. Fiji
ty-five per cent of all American air
planes take off and land on Silver
towns.
Motorists also give hearty endorse
ment, according to Gilman, to Good
rich "Air Containers" which take the
place of the old-fashioned tubes and
seal punctures on running wheels.

CAPITOL THEATER


Charged with intimate drama and
laid in New York's colorful back
ground, a new and powerful film
written by Fannie Hurst comes to the
Capitol theater next Monday.
The picture Is RKO-Radio's SYM
phony of Six Million" co-featuring
Ricardo Cortez and Irene Dunno in
a sub line romance Of self-sacrifice
and love.
Directed by Gregory La Cava will,
the same sweep and magnitude which
distinguished the original story by
Miss Hurst. the film truthfully re-
fleets the stern background East
Side and takes a clinical interest in
the lives Of a Ghetto doctor and q
teacher of the slums.
The film is replete with vivid sets
of East Side streets, hospital operat-
ing rooms and the free clinics which
minister to the ailments of the un-
fortunate poor of big city.
Ricardo Cortez, who plays the role
of the doctor, Is seen in sympathe-
tic characterization for the first time
in four years. The suave villain OF
the screen is transformed into an
idealistic type.
Miss Dunno presents noble high
minded type Of American woman
hood.
The picture is excellently cast with
Anna Appel, formerly of the Yiddish
Art theater, Gregory Ratoff. of the
Moscow Art theater, and Noel Madi-
son and Lita Chevret in strong sup
porting roles.
