Earl Esse were the pitcher and catch

the first year, showed constant i'm

roll and Bob Delaney. Home runs
this season were made by Belling,
Sears, Entner and Heino. j. Car

control or influence legislation. The second house also was deem- ed wise provision by the found- CTS of the present form of gov ernment in various nations-in- cluding America-on the ground that the smaller states or dist rictS have equal rights in one of the houses, based on geograph- ical divisions, regardless of size or population. Without such eq- uality the rights of the smaller division would be nil or negative.
 The bi-cameral plan, as in oth- CT most democratic and progres sive nations, has become decid- edly an American institution safe guarding the rights of the peo- pie and the many as against the few. By the same token the uni cameral plan may be branded as positively un-American.
 Random articles in certain news papers of late have revealed that the laSt-mentioned danger exists in Alaska in respect to the uni cameral plan. Already the sug gestion has gone forth in some such articles that there be re- apportionment under the unicam eral plan, should it be adopted in Alaska. It is suggested that certain portions of Alaska be al- lowed more legislative seats than at present-giving them, when the situation is analysed, control of the legislative measures aff- ecting every division of the Ter ritory.
 Interior Alaska under such con trol would find itself out-voted and at the mercy of the larger coastal groups. Under the pres

' ..gget's Comment

The danger of such a system of unicameral legislation, is well known to the Second Division. Tn it's present form, a unicameral legislature in Alaska would vir- tually do away with any voice which the Second, Third or Four in Divisions have under the bi- camaral system. Representation according to population is un- doubtedly the basis for demo- cratic or representative govern ment, but the American system of legislation-and it has wealth cred many trials successfully is designed on a foundation of checks. The checking of powers is not designed primarily to linn it any district or section of the United States, but as a safeguard to prevent ill-advised and detri- mental legislation being enacted either for the benefit of certain sections, or the detriment of others. In well developed sections of the U. S., representation ac- cording to population is entirely feasible and practical, but in a pioneer country such as Alaska, it should serve the purposes of the country as a whole, as well as the people in it. With no pro- per check such a system would abolish and leave unprotected the less-populated districts, to the disadvantage of the Territory as a whole.

UNICAMERAL PLAN ALASKAN MENACE

A bill was passed by the re- cent congress and signed by the President providing for a refer endm by the people of Alaska on the proposal to abolish the two-house form of legislation and substitute the one house-or uni cameral plan.
 The matter soon will come be- fore the people, and deserves most careful consideration by every Alaskan who has the rights and welfare of every individual and district at heart.
 Just what was the origin of this unicameral movement or what inspired it is a mystery to the av craze Alaskan. It is yet to be learned that there ever was any spontaeous demand among the people of the territory or any general discussion indicating that there is need or any advantage in adopting a one-house legisla- ture.
 On the other hand it appears there is grave danger that exist ing rights and protection to diff ferent district of Alaska will be menaced if the two-house form of legislation is abolished.
 The bi-cameral, or tWo-house form of legislation, dating back centuries under the most demo cratic and representative forms of government, was founded or the theory that greater safety l: thus guaranteed against hasty and in-advised legislation and 1T sidious forces htat might seek tC

The End Of Oil Supply May End
 Wars Is Said
(By The Associat ted PreSs)

VIENNA, Oct. 12-Worry about another World War will be over within three or four general ton. Exhaustion of the worlds oil supply will see to that, thinks General Edmund Allexin of the Austrian general staff.
 He quotes experts estimates that 1,000,000,000 soldiers in the future war would need about 300, 900 tons of iron and steel, 4,000,- 900 tons of coal, and 10000 tons of oil. But he thinks that motor ization of armies would boost those figures considerably.
 The worlds yearly production of minerals he puts at two billion tons. The most important is oiL of which he says, America pro- duces 30 per cent, and which may be nearly txhausted in about 50 to 70 years.
 Colonel Allexin minimizes the importance of efforts to produce synthetic oil or gasoline because of the expense and the necessity of having great plants, vulnerable in war time.

ent plan the smaller divisions have equality in the senate, or upper house Based on the large geographical areas and their vast productive areas, these interior regions are entitled to the two house form of legislation.
 An article appearing recently in the Daily Alaska Press. pub lished at Juneau. refers to the plan for redistricting and redist- ribution of Alaskan representa- ton under the unicameral plan and reveals the danger that con fronts Interior Alaska. The artic- le appeared under standing heading of feature column bear ing the heading: "Concentrates and Tailings-Being a Column of Occasional Values and Ere quent Worthlessness.' The arti- cle follows:
 Portland, Ore-An obscure news item in the Morning Ore gonian relates that President F. D. Roosevelt signed a bill pro- viding for a referendum in Al aska on the question of one house legislature. This column early this year predicted the mat ter would come up soon. When this comes up for a vote. as it apparently will, we hope that at the same time something can be done to distribute representation according to population. States have been re-districted to ac- complish this, but Alaska retains the same setup with which it started. The First Division, with something near half the popula- tion, has no more representation than the Second, whose popula- is a small fraction of the total.
 Apportioning representation according to population totals of the various districts is the first
 method which comes to mind and would adequately meet the problem. But the Concentrator, in view of other phases of flask an governmental structure, be- lieves that in addition to this or possibly in lieu of it-re-dis tricting is also advisable.
 The First Division should be divided into two and a Fifth District" court set up at ketchl kan. This would relieve the con gestion which has grown in late years and has required lengthy sessions at Ketchikan after the yearly grind at Juneau. Also, it would go a long way toward ev- ening legislative representation. Both these new divisions would be heavily populated, compara- lively speaking.
 Alaskans of the Interior, es-
 pecially of Second, Third and Fourth Divisions, will find plenty in the foregoing to put them on their toes and steel them to ac- tion against unicameral or oth CT scheme which might concen- trate the legislative powers of the Territory in one group or region to the disadvantage of the other-FairbankS News-Miner.
