any more than the Forest Service has in Alaska. It was not a matter of race but of policy. Funds for Indian camps were turned over di- rertly to the Office of Indian Af- fairs in Washington, D. c. That bureau, through it's various camps and conducted work along lines suited to Indian communities and reservations In Alaska nothing of that nature was undertaken. It was assumed by the Forest Service that it would do so. Why it hasn't been done, no officer of the Indian serV- ice has ever made known. It seems evident, however, if there was dis crimination it was not racial, and was not practiced by any of the organizations named by the A.N.B.
 Developments this Fall both be- fore and since the Brotherhood con Yention point strongly to delay rather than to discrimination. The Public Works Administration sey eral weeks before the convention allotted $l00,000 to be expended on a large number of purely Indian projects, with Indian labor employed solely. Coincident with the conven- tion, the Bureau of Public Roads opened bids on a road project at Hoonah, estimated to cost about $35,O0O, to employ local or Indian labor, Before that time, the Forest service out of trail funds on hand, allotted money for crew of Indians at Yakutat. The most recent de- velopment occurred last week when it was announced that the Civil Works Administration had allotted funds to give employment to 260 Indians through the winter months on community improvement projects of various kinds. Taken altogether, this costitutes a relief program of no mean proportions, one infinitely larger than has ever been under taken before in Alaska. These facts, we believe, are evidence enough to disprove the charge of racial dis crimination.
 "One other unfortunate assertion was made in the Indian resolution. It charged racial discrimination by the Territory in it's administration of funds for eleemosynary purposes, such as mothers pensions. These, it declared are general funds, but r~..at~-i-I ofcI~:-I- --f>.-e te e-.te.Ad them to Indians. The language of the Territory's Mothers Pension Act disproves that contention. It declar- ed that no person eligible to re- ceive aid from the Federal govern ment, such as native Indians, can be paid from the Territorial funds. This is not a new subject. It has been threshed out on many occa- sions before the Territorial Legis- lature. It is not a question of race but of economies. The policy of the present Territorial Government is exactly the same in the administra- tion of these funds as all of its predecessors. More than that, it is wholly in acord with that of the Legislatures which from time to time have enacted laws on the sub- ject and made appropriations avail able to put them into effect.

SAYS RACKETEERS
DUE FOR SHOCK

WASHINGTON. Aug. IA (UP)
-Bootleggers and racketeers are
due for "an awful shock" if they
believe enforcement of the dry
law ended with the merger of the
prohibition bureau with the bu-
reau of investigation. Col. Louis
McHenry Howe, secretary to
President Roosevelt, said yester-
day.
Pointing out that consolidation
of the two bureaus was a long
step toward the chief executives
aim of reorganizing federal agen-
cies, Howe said: -,
Liquor control is neither dead
nor forgotten. If any racketeers
or bootleggers are holding cele-
brations over the supposed demise
of the prohibition bureau, they
are due for an awful shock"
Upon repeal of the Eighteenth
Amendment, Howe said, the
bootlegger will find himself, it
anything, in closer quarters than
now" -.
"Uncle, SAM" he continued, "is
counting on several hundreds OF
millions of dollars from revenue
taxes, which will tighten the tax
payers burden-and he intends to
collect every cent Of it."

time judgment for 60 days before
