INJUSTICE

The report of Delegate Dimond's
speech before a Congressional COM
mlttee relative to the comparative
costs of living in Alaska and in the
State of Washington is at hand, to-
gether with statistics gathered from
what appears to be reliable sources
The figures compiled in this re
port are the result of efforts on the
part of members of the Juneau Fed
eral Employees Union, headed by NJ.
l.. Merritt, to convince Congress
that, due to the living conditions
in Alaska, the fifteen percent cut
In their pay is unjust.
Many residents OF the Territory
will scan the pages of the report
amazed and possibly resentful of
the fact that they are forced to pay
a premium of from rs to 1856 per-
cent for the privilege of living here.
Obviously, a certain amount of
disparity between the cost of liv-

distance from the source of supplies.
Most Alaskans are willing to pay
the difference provided they are
able to earn the wherewithal to
pay, but a comparison of the rates

leave us with the conviction that
some adjustment should be made If
we are to retain those qualities of
self-respect which have charact9r-
lied Alaskans from the earliest pio-
neer days.
Mr.. Dimond has summed up The
case of the Civil Service employees
in the following words, which may
well apply to Alaskans in general:
"Mr. Chairman, the wont:
and men who are in the EN-
ploy of the Federal Govern
ment in Alaska are American
citizens, and they appeal,
through me, not for special
privileges, not for favors, but
for justice. They are as fine
body of women and men as one
will find anywhere. Many of
them, many of them have ex-
hibited and are daily exhibit
ing in their work in Alaska a
spirit of self-sacrifice and devo-
ton to the common welfare
which is all too rare in or out
of public service. Many of them
are living on what is now the
last frontier of the country.
They are necessarily deprived
of the usual comforts and ordi-
nary conveniences of life. They
bear their burdens without a
murmur Their lives are gen.
orally a credit to the commun-
ity and to the Nation. Their
homes are in Alaska, their
hearts are in Alaska. They are
endeavoring to bring up and
educate their children to be-
come sound American citizens
All that they ask here is fair
and equal treatment as COM

mo Negro has the slightest
right to resort or even question,
the illegal killing Of one OF his
race"
After YOU have educated a
Negro to the level Of the white
man. there will still be an Inn
passable gulf between them"
The Negro Is capable Of So
cial equality with the white man,
but should not be so recognized
until he Is better trained"
THE Negro is by no means
tit for social equality with the
con1monest white man."
IT would not patronize ho-
tel that accommodate Negroes.
1T Is possible for the white
and Negro races to be brothers
in Christ without becoming bro
thers-in-laws."
The Negro should have the
advantage Of all social benefits
Of the white man, but be limit
ed to his own race in the prac-
tice thereof"
Negroes must undergo mary
years OF civilization before they
may be said to reach the social
level Of the white man."
Negroes should not be al
lowed to mingle with whites in
any way"
Although the Negro is infer
Tor mentally. he has fuller and
deeper religious life than the
white man, and thrs has an
emphatic claim upon our social
approval"
TN our efforts to help the
Negro we must not blind our
selves to the definite and mark
ed difference which actually ex-
ist between the two races"
1.-THE white man has clearly
shown the dominance Of his
race and should continue to
exercise his power Of leadership
over the Negro"
"A great majority OF Negroes
should be treated as well trained
apes"
Social recognition should be
based on culture without regard
to color"

the present Mayor Of our city.
He has been in long enough to
give us an idea what he can and

done for us as race in this CD

ion, or previous condition. Is ig-
norant. I am very much Of his
opinion. We know he is too big
to be prejudiced. and 1t takes a
big man to be Mayor OF our
city. He Is big in brain, big in
heart, big in justice, and as far
as I am concerned, whenever !
hear anybody criticize him and
say hard things about him, I am
more determined to show and
admonish my people to vote for
him q hundred percent.
Mayor John Dore gave to the
needy of our people at Christ
mas about 125 pairs Of shoes
and stockings, which we're appre-
ciated, and he has promoted our
