A FINE RECORD.

In endorsing Delegate Dimond's measure for the transfer of control of fur and game resources in Alaska to Alaskans, by as decisive vote as it had last week approved the kind of bill relating to the fisheries, the local Chamber of Commerce maintained its prestige a leader of organizations of its kind throughout the Territory The overwhelming sentiment exhibited by the bers is fair representation of the sentiment of Alaskaas whole, and in approving the bills the Chamber has voiced the views of a very large majority of the residents of all Alaska
 These bills cannot be reached before Congress convenes next January. By that time the Delegate ought to have in his possession endorsements from organizations and individuals from all sections of the Territory. AS Judge Wickersham passing his statement his long service in Washington Delegate, warned the Chamber the strongest sort of influence will be brought to bear on Congress to prevent their enactment into law. MT. Dimond cannot hope to win against it without every bit of help he get. Most of that must come from Alaskans since outside of the Territory any interest that is felt in the matter is naturally largely ad- to them.
 It is admitted that there is chance for suc- cess It would be disastrous to throw it away Yet that is likley to happen Aaskans neglect to ex- press themselves emphatically on the subject

IS SECRETARY ICKES IN ERROR!

In his letter to the local Chamber of Commerce. Secretary Ickes defends the proposed tolls on com mercial traffic Richardson Highway on tie ground that the road was constructed entreiy ana is maintained from Federal funds. That deiense' we believe is in error. The manner Of application of funds on any road project on which money mas been expended by the Alaska Road Commission dur ing the past decade and a half has been matter of bookkeeping During that period, in the Second Third and Fourth Divisions most of the funds appro- prated for road and trail construction and repair by the Alaska Legislature has been expended py the Alaska Road Commission, the Federal agency that built and maintains Richardson Highway IhlS system has enabled the Commission to divert large sums of Federal money from other projects to apply on the highway in question and had 1t not been for this either the highway would have suffered or some other roads would not have been con structed It is not unreasonable for Alaska to claim on this basis that thousands of dollars of money came from it's treasury for work done on Richardson Highway.
 Nor is that all of the Territorys case. Hundreds of thousands of dollars derived from the Alaska Fund have been turned directly over to the Alaska Road Commission from the National treasury and much of this was expended by it on the highway. It is matter of record that the Commission esti- mates 25 per cent of the total cost of construction and maintenance derived from that source. The Alaska Fund, although created by congress, IS purely Territorial. It is derived from taxes imposed on businesses and occupations within the Territory. Congress does not have to pass any legislation to make it available each year. By stretch of imagination can it be considered Federal money.
 Twenty five per cent is a fair proportion for Alaska to pay on any road project within the Terri tory. It is than would be required under the Federal Aid Highway Act if that statute were in effect in the Territory The Territory's equity in the road is substantial, and though the Federal Government may have legal right to impose tolls on traffic over it. it certainly does not have any moral right to do

Simple Peace Formula

The plea of President R0ose- welt that all nations agree to keep their armed forces within their own borders is the most sensible and simple suggestion for international peace that has so far been offered in the long babel of tongues concern ing the abolition of war.
 If such an agreement could be reached it would, if consci- entiously adhered to, end war at once, for the simple reason that nothing can be achieved by war without invasion of en- emy territory. It is true that even with such an agreement in effect nations might shoot at each other across their bord- CTS but without invasion it would gain them no more than if they lined up on their re- spective frontiers and made faces at each other.
 President Roosevelt's simple formula, if backed up by rig orous economic boycott against any nation which broke the non-invasion rule, would un- occasionally end war and all the disastrous evils it entails.

tent of their earnings, and are at all times potential candi- dates for public charity if over- taken by hard times or physic- al interpretation.
 AS compared to this class of habitually unprogressive cit izenS, the upright, industrious alien resident who strives with all his abilities to get ahead and provide for himself insur- ance against indigency is to our way of thinking far more en- titled to consideration in situ- ations such as the present, even though he may have unthink- ingly neglected to acquire citi- zenship.
 The fact remains, however, that the first duty of the nat ion is to those who are it's own children or have become such by adoption, hence it is right that those who give to it their fullest fealty should be the first to receive it's favors and assistance in times of need, regardless of the effects on those who are content to take year after year all the nation allows to the alien within it's borders and still neglect or re- fuse to give it their fullest al- legiance.
 However much we may sym pathize with our alien residents in the present situation, both we and they should remember that they alone are to blame for failure to perform their proper duty to the land which has provided them with virtu- ally every advantage enjoyed by our own nationals and has asked in return for it's generos- ity only their true allegiance and support of it's institutions.

FLEXIBLE WRISTS

LANDS and wrists play large
part in the golfers swing
Strong wrists do not necessarily
mean a good golfer, for these mus
cles may have sacrificed their sup
pleness for strength. If, instead of
trying to hit with bis shoulders or
body, the average golfer would think
of hitting with wrists and hands he
would gain a better picture of just
how the clubhead should work. One
way to gain the proper feeling of
the clubhead coming onto the ball
is to loosen the muscles of the
wrists until the hands seem to hang
loosely from them. apparently ready
TO fall off. The fingers must grip
the club firmly enough, but properly
held The clubhead will appear like
the weight on the end of string.
In this way the body can be brought
gradually into the swing, the hands
and wrists waiting to help the club
head through One thus gets the
feeling of cracking the whip. In
the above illustration the dip of the
clubhead beyond the horizontal in
the backswing shows how flexible
Jones wrists are.
