TWO OR ONE HOUSE

Recent debaet turnout Alaska has again drawn attention to the fact that on the ballot for the General Election next fall, will appear a Referendum For or Az ainst a Unicameral Legislature" !"
 Legislators and others thru out the Territory of Alaska have expressed their opinions pro and con on the subject of changing from the present system. fs yet a unicameral type of state or ter ritorial government has remained unproven. Nebraska at the pres ent time is the only state which is operating under such system, and from available reports it is not entirely satisfactory there.
 What is of vital importance to Alaskans is the efficient and eco homie system of government whi- oh has existed during it's time as a Territory. The very fundamen- tai theory of the American type of government is that an adequ- ate system of checks and division of autocratic power shall remain with the people. The responsi- bihty of legislating and creating laws should not be placed in the hands of select few, whether under unicameral or bicameral legislature, without protection for the people as a whole.
 There is little doubt that under a unicameral system the Divisions of Alaska which are sparcely set tied at the present time would have little representation. And this brings it home directly to the Seond and Fourth Divisions, of which Nome and Fairbanks are the headquarters.
 Stable, well-rounded out legis- lation, participated in by all sec tions of the Territory is necessary if the Second and Fourth Divi- sions, and also the Third Division, are to exist as definite judicial divisions. With the Second and Fourth Divisions receiving little representation under a unicam- eral system, they would have small chance of participating in the general duties of our Terri

YOU WILL RECEIVE A BALLOT

One of the important questions to be put to voters in Alaska at the election next September is whether they wish to change their present two-house legisla- ture to one-house legislature.
 Congress enacted bill provid- ing that the question shall be placed on the ballot in the Sep tember election. Here, in part, is what the bill says: ". :. at the general election held in the territory of Alaska, in the year 1888, for the election of a Delegate to Congress from Alas ka, members of the Alaska Ter ritorial Legislature, and such oth CT officials of the Territory as may be by law then elective, each of the qualified electors of the Ter ritory shall be afforded an oppor tunity to vote upon the question as to whether a one-house legis- lature shall be provided for the Territory of Alaska, such vote to be taken by furnishing to each of such electors a ballot, separate and apart from the ballot which embraces the names of the candi- dates for office to be voted upon at said election, having printed thereon the following:

WHOLESALE INDEX
CLIMBS SLIGHTLY
Fertilizer Association Estimates
Average at ISL, Against
rs Week Ago.

The general level of wholesale COM
modify prices was higher last week,
according to the index compiled by
the National Fertilizer Association
This index in the week ended April
l6 rose to ISL from $50 in the pre-
ceding week. which was the low point
to date in the present recession. A
month ago the index stood at 76.O and
a year ago at $50, based on the 1926
% average as 100.
Foodstuff prices were again lower
during the week, with the food group
average declining to a new low point
for the current recession. An upturn
in the index Of farm products followed
five consecutive weekly declines. The
increase last week was largely due to
the rise in cotton prices, with the
grain average remaining unchanged
and small rise registered by the live
stock index
Higher prices for other fibers as
we'll as cotton resulted in an upturn
in the textile price index.
The index representing the prices of
miscellaneous commodities rose moder-
ately, with higher quotations for cattle
feed more than offsetting weakness in
hides and rubber.
Another drop in the price of fuel oil
was responsible for a fractional de-
cline in the fuel price average The
building material index was off slightly
and the fertilizer price average de-
clined to the lowest point reached
since February of last year The in
dex representing the prices Of all COM
modlties other than farm products
and foods remained unchanged during
the week at the lowest point reached
since November, 1896.

NEW RECORD PREDICTED

ATHENS, Ga. April 1o.-The man
who runs the Government farm pro-
grams in the South predicted yester-
day the August l carryover of Amer
lean and foreign cotton would be the
largest on record despite sharp re-
strlctions in effect this year on cotton
acreage
Director Ivy w Duggan of the Ag-
ricultural Adjustment Administra-
tion's Southern Division said the basis
for his prediction lay in the fact the
1888 acreage, while small, will be no
smaller than the acreage planted in
1884 and 1885"
With such an acreage and normal
production the supply of cotton for
next season is virtually certain to con-
tlnue to be excessive" Duggan said.
With this big supply of cotton in
prospect, farmers will need cotton
price adjustment payments on their
1888 crop similar to those made on
their 1887 crop. However. there is
now no national legislation whereby
any such payments can be made"

NEED FOR FEDERAL
.SPEND|NCDEBATED
Some Observers Contend
Upturn Due Without
Huge Outlay.
BY thr Associated Press.

NEW YORK. April ia bit Of con-
troversy precipitated by President
Roosevelts recovery message last
Thursday may have to be settled by
posterity or by appeal to the higher
circles of wisdom, according to Wall
Street observers.
1t has been heard in the money
center. in Washington and other
places. Briefly, it centers in the ques-
ton of whether business, after year
on the down grade, is in good enough
shape fundamentally to generate its
own recovery trends without Govern
ment aid.
Anti-pump primers have been freely
asserting the basis for an upturn in
industry is here and that the reversal
is due any day now. Yet they feel
they may not be able to establish their
positions as prophets. 1t would be
difficult, they complain, to convince
any ordinary observer they were right
If the Government puts billions Of dol
lars on the line to get recovery in mo-
way most people expect.
Lined up against the believers in the
idea business is about ready to turn on
its own initiative are many other Wall
Streeters who feel that large-scale
Government spending would be both
timely and justified.
1t is the contention of the latter
group any business recession that has
run for year with no important signs
of rebound should be treated as some
thing more serious than an ordinary
setback. And the logical treatment,
they hold, is Government spending of
sort that will get the stream of life
moving again in depressed key indus
tries.
The spending proponents cite the
records of business cycles since the
turn of the century in support of their
claims that normal recession"
should show definite signs of self
correction after or 10 months at the
longest.
Shown in the records also. of course,
are the protracted downsWings which
extended over two years or more, like
the aftermath Of the 1929 panic and
the collapse of 1907. But these were
labeled major depressions which had
to run their course in order to clear
the ground of debris so a new foun-
dation for recovery could be created.

The tough Americana "roughneck'
who dug the Panama Canal is feeble
old-timer now, asking Congress for a
pension.
He was the hard-boiled gringo who
bossed 'Badians at Bas Obispo and
sweated at the bottom of Culebra Cut
when the dirt trains were shrieking
and steam shovels bludgeoning q
waterway through the sizzling hills.
Age has tanned the remnants Of
those gringo pioneers-a mere 1000
Of them remain-and they want Uncle
Sam to keep his promise to them "be-
fore it is too late"
They were tough, wicked hombres,
those Americanos who went to the
isthmus when the century was young.
They had no use for the word ma
nana," and when Uncle Sam ironically
uses the same word to put of the pen
sions until some vague tomorrow"
they still can cuss "carambas."
Had to Fight Fever.
Panama, when they went there, was
bad place. Chagres fever often
made them shivver in the sun. But
they fought it with quinine and rum,
and hewed their way through solid
rock with the enthusiasm of men
waging q first-class war.
Teddy Roosevelt went down there
to hasten the Job. and he promised
every son Of a steam shovel that his
country would reward him when the
ditch was dug.
But, say the old-time civilians, Con-
