 The teachers in Alaska will be Interested in the report of the con- mittee of three teachers, appointed lby w. K. Keller, Commissioner of EEducation and candidate for re- election, to study the Alaska Teach l CTS Pension System. The pension system is maintained entirely by
 the teachers, the Territory con- tributing nothing to it's mainte-

Americans should realize that American Indians give us a cul- ture unlike any in Europe. Their art is individualistic, they have no competition except that of limitations" Mrs. Henrietta K Burton, head of Home Extension Work, U. s. Bureau of Indian Affairs. Iii other words according to Mrs. Burton, the Indians are not immitators-but are very much immitated. We even re- member the Boston Tea party wherein the Colonials dressing as Indians made the first phy- sical protest against the Stamp Tax of King George III.

The problem before the next territorial legislature will be TaXes-TaXes and More Taxes to cover the appropriations which exceeded the revenue and which was not balanced by passage Of a revenue bill. In Oregon there will be no state property tax-in Alaska we will venture to say that there will be a property tax flor homesteaders, for property holders, for canners, etc. Just think of the thousands of acres of land owned by a few corpora tions in the Bristol Bay section whereby other corporations are prevented from entering that district-thousandS of acres which mean nothing to the com panies-to the territory-a Q non-productive and will remain SC. A tax on such lands will make a different story. And in what State is property of corporations exempt from taxation? The more we think on these property taxes the more we like the idea of boosting them up.

IGNORANCE IS RELATIVE

Down in San Francisco Bay on the 5th of July seven persons were sent to the doctors for poison cure while one had died and another was making a strong bid for death as a result |of eating muSsels.
 The Natives of Alaska do not eat mussels when the growth of spring makes itself evident" The reason being that after the sun brings forth to life the verdure mussels become poisonous. Had the San Francisco people not been ignorant they would not have died nor had to see the doc tor.

LOGO Sockeye

Democratic candidate for the territorial legislature Joseph BaronOvich of Ketchikan, re l. gently brought to his home port 1000 sockeye salmon. The can ners had indicated that they would purchase sockeye salmon but no other. He peddled his fish from one canner to another and finally accepted 10 cents per fish. Joe is now tied up to his dock he managed to pay for his oil and grub. Another trip and he would be in debt to the cannery they would go to court and grab his boat in admiralty in rem. He would be thrown up on the beach a bit of Wreckage af- ter his years of effort to build up a business.
 In plain English-the canners of Ketchikan are damned fools Joe has every possibility of being elected to the legislature. He has the support of Ketchikan; he should have the support of the Empire and the democratic ma chine; he is related to the citi- zens of the towns of Ketchikan Hydaburg, Kasaan and is known up and down the coast to Yaku- tat-he has many schoolmates in the different towns. If we mis- take not, he will probably run stronger than any other man on either ticket. And the canners refuse to give him even kindly treatment.

It Is Just Too Bad

The canneries will not en- ploy any considerable amount of Alaska labor declared Commis- sioner of Fisheries Henry O'Mal- ley. The canners are curtailing their packs by limiting opera tlonS to fewer canneries and fewer traps but they are not ac. tually curtailing packs. At the same time they are not employ ing Alaska labor except where they cannot help themselves.
 This is as it should be. A few summers ago, O'Malley was ask ed: "As between conservation of salmon and conservation of Alaska's population, what would you conserve" His reply was "To hell with the population"
 Any person rising to the de- fense of the O'Malley system in Alaska should now declare him self and point out the benefit under the system, No employ ment-no earnings. Employment Of foreign labor no employment

CARCROSS MAN SUCCESS
 FULLY RAISES LYNXES

George Simmons, a fur farmer at CarcrosS, Y. T., who raises mink and foxes, has branched out in his biological research, and is now successfully raising lynXeS. MT. Simmons now has six lynx pups, the first ever rais- Cd in captivity, and his experi- ments with felis canadensis is awaited with considerable inter- est by other fur farmers.
 The little felines are quite playful and know their owner as we'll as any other young pup would They are very shy around strangers, but respond readily to their masters call.
 Despite no previous experience with the propagation of lynx, MT. Simmons believes that they are as easily raised as mink, and that their fur can be made to produce an added lustre bp prop CT feeding.
 MT. Simmons is one of the largest and most successful fur farmers in the Yukon territory CT in Alaska. At one sale several years ago, he sold almost $20,OOO worth of fine breeding stock to Swedish mink breeders.

Y in an election year, with the president running for reelection
 The president may be honest as the day is long, and we will credit him with that. But, ob- viously, he cannot know just where this huge sum is most needed.
 He will have to rely on his political henchmen, who will not be backward in telling him where the money will do the most good-for the Republican party.
 We will trust a president, but we shall have to be shown before we will trust partizan politicians with the distribution of $1O0,- c0O,0OO in campaign year. It is our formal prediction here and now, that these mil lions will be distributed with one end in view: Votes.

THE OUTSTANDING ORATION
 OF THE G. o. POLITICIANS

The recent convention of the Republican Party in Chicago was Tot noted for it's forensic contri- butions-eXcept for the speech by Roscoe COnklin Simmons Negro. We quote the closing paragraphs for it is a gem of thought and worthy of place i.1 the minds of every American:
 Not long ago I stood before the tomb of Lincoln. I sought a word from him for times that trouble and for the struggle that often almost overcomes me. AS I stood there I was heavy no longer. I saw Lincoln every where, in all the brightness Of his immortal state. It was even- ing and the beauty of the tWi- light fell upon the grandest sarcophagus among the tombs of the great.
 ''He seemed to speak. He seem- ed to say: T died that you might be fleet of foot. Go, go and speak to those who still gather in my name. Say that I dwell in spirit about the stout and burdened heart that now wears the Nation upon it. Say to Hoover, if by chance you see him, that once I traveled the path now trod by him. Say to him that that path was cleared by time only for the few brave enough to walk along toward these immortal fields where you sought and found me"

Governor Roosevelt deserved better from his party than the awkward, ill-Willed launching his candidacy was given Friday night. John w. Kelly tells us in his dispatch that California, under McAdoo's direction, was ready to start the swing for the governor in the early hours of Friday, but that Roosevelt's son looked at the empty galleries and said no. His father had not yet had a real demonstration and he deserved one-to quicken his heart as he listened in New York and to show the unanimity of the party.
 So it was Friday night, with 10000 persons in the galleries, that McAdOo, Wreaking a strange revenge upon the Tammany that defeated him in 1924, rose and announced the break of California from Garner to Roosevelt.
 The play was arranged. The pledged delegates and those who had broken, began the parade of victory.
 But those of US who were listening over the radio heard the boos of the gallery drowning out the staged triumph of the majority delegates and through the melee it trickled in that the Smith delegations sat tight Then when the shouting stopped and McAdoo sought to complete his speech, he was booed to the rafters in a sudden revival. We can only imagine the heart break of the son. Governor Roosevelt, We repeat, deserved better from his party.-Portland Oregonian.

IpC ASuA OAA o4 o NAy PA nents of Andrew Mellon and the nasty slap that Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler took at the plati- tudes he uttered before the American Society in that city?
 am no doubt prejudiced; l will admit that I have never had a great deal of respect for An drew Melons ideals since I read an article, credited to his auth orship and published in the Saturday Evening Post" a couple of years ago, in which he made the assertion that his con- ception of ideal conditions would be to see every man in the Unit ed States working for a corpora ticn.
 In his recent outbreak Mellon is credited with To-day we are suffering from a lack of conf1- dence, not as regards fundiment- als but only as regards the best means of overcoming the diff culties immediately ahead. These difficulties we shall overcome in time. All resources of our na- tional wealth is still there. We still have our vast natural re- sources, our great industrial or ginizations with it's complete and modern equipment, and as eff cient laborers as any to be found in the world"
 Dr. Butler comes back at him thusly: we can no longer solve the problems of the Twentieth Century by reciting the maxims of the Eighteenth Century or shibboleths of the Nineteenth Century"
 It is interesting to listen to the Boom! Boom! of the big guns but when we analyze them we find that they are merely re- petitions of what we hear on the streets every day, uttered by men whom MT. Mellon classes as eff cent laborers. Considering the mess that MT. Mellon and his coparceners have made of things in striving to satisfy an inor- dinate appetite for profits, it would seem logical to discount his councils and not hold too sacred the institutions he and his kind have built up, also it would seem logical to consider the laborers opinion as being as worthy of consideration as his.
 The great industrial organiza- tons of which MT. Mellon speaks so highly are to be held directly responsible for most of our pre- sent troubles-they and tn e greed of man. The great indus trial organizations have included in their modern equipment the direction of government acti- Wties. Steady pressure has been applied to change the character of our government from one looking first to the interests of the people, to a government in terested, in altogether too many instances, in helping the ac- emulation of dollars for the vaults of those in commanding positions. ....
 The pitiful part is the ease with which they have accom- plshed their ends. The tools they have used have not even, in most cases, been we'll paid. Most of the instruments they have used have taken their pay in terms of little brief authority and patronage. Our standards of values are warped. We have seen man after. man quit politics in disgust, even to the point where they would not even vote. Until We are able to rectify this condi- tion we can look for no peacable solution to our problems.

Unless they are put in the
Presidents hands and signed be-
fore midnight the departments
affected will operate technically
without funds.
This is the status of the meas
ures:
The Treasury and Postoffice
bill is in conference.
The War Department bill is in
conference.
The second deficiency bill is in
conference.
The State, Justice, Commerce,
and Labor bill was sent back to
the Senate by the House because
it refused to agree to one item
establishment of an airline from
Puget Sound to the Twin Cities
of Minnesota. The Senate re-
fused to concur and this bill, too,
is in conference.
The Agricultural Department
bill is hung up, waiting for the
House to act for the fifth time
on putting in an appropriation
with which to combat the grass
hopper scourge in the West.
Bills acted upon today and
signed by the President will al
low the appropriations to be-
come effective tomorrow, the be-
ginning of the new fiscal year.
If any fail, the present appro-
priations are carried forward by
resolution until such time as the
new money bills are annrnVed
