DON'T PARK IN ALLEYS

Our mayor has had signs put up warning
against parking in the alleys. This is very good
idea, and should be needed. The persons who
park in alleys, are the ones in most danger, since
it is almost impossible for two machines to pass.
In the past some of our alleys have been blocked
with machines. What would happen if FIRE
would break out and the fremen have to use the
alley with their hrefghting equipment? ID ~ ), !.
We know that this matter of parking is get
ting to be serious problem here, especially of
Saturday nights, but for all of that the alleys
should not be used We would make as a sug-
gestion that business men, and others, locally,
leave their machines at home of Saturdays, es-
pecially Saturday nights, and in so doing more
space for parking would be provided for those
from the country who come here to do their shop
ping, who by all means should have parking ac-
commodations

RED CROSS

The needs of refugees are not
diminished by cessation of hostili-
ties in France. Chairman Norman
Fl. Davis has issued the following
statement to all chapters:
''While conditions for rendering
relief may change, the policy of the
American Red Cross remains the
same, Cessation of hostilities in
France does not diminish the ter
rible suffering and needs of refu-
gees. We therefore intend to con-
tinue to extend all possible relief.
but only upon the condition that we
have liberty of action and protec-
tion so as to insure that our aid
goes solely to those French men,
women and children and refugees
for whom it is intended There are
already great needs for American
Red Cross assistance in England.
These will doubtless increase IN the
near future. Our campaign for
funds must go forward I am con-
fdent that our people will continue
to trust their Red Cross to do it's
best to relieve human suffering un-
der the changing conditions of the
world today"
"We have just received word that

tion with the leaders of the Fed

Rabbis' is appealing to all church.

Congress knows more tricks than
a magician when for political pur-
poses a little cut in an appropriation
must be made to look like a big one.
That explains most of the SLASH
ing the members are talking about.
In actual dollars and cents Congress
hasn't saved the taxpayers much
money-yet. Later Congress may.
Wise Washingtonians doubt there
will be any revolutionary budget
cuts in 1910.
Most of the savings are not saw
ings at all. They are postponements.
Congress is simply putting off
spending until after election day.
If the congressman can't put it off
that long, at least they will stall it
off several months. BY then so much
politics will be in the air that a
couple of battleships could be lost in
the mists.

gress kept the appropriation of the

came out first as a S1,30QO00.O00

ships in a fiye-year program. 1t
didn't get a good public reception.
Now it has shrunk to $372,0O0.0O0.
But the navy's desire for a hundred
ships hasn't been cut Instead the
thing has been trimmed in time

they can even apply for a Job. Then
they must pass a rigid examination

ALASKA JUSTICE

A congressional committee dipped
its fl gers into the Federal till this
week and came out with something
over two million dollars for the Fed
eral Bureau of Investigation. Chan
ees are most of it will still be avail
able when the final appropriations
are made up, for the FBI has done
about as neat a bit of lobbying for
additional funds as has been display
ed for quite a while-not lobbying
in the ordinary sense of the word as
most of US know it, buttonholing the
boys in the corridors and so etc,
but eapitalizing on the breaks.
Last month Chief ]. Edgar Hoov-
er and his sleuths cracked out to an
unsuspecting world that they had
uncovered a plan to overthrow the
United States government. They
rounded up II chaps in Brooklyn
and stuck them in Jail under 10000
bond each on charges of conspiring
to overthrow the government. The
arrests prove that J. Edgar and his
boys are ON the job, and a dandy job
they have been doing, but when one
learns that the arsenal with which
the alleged culprits were going to
overthrow the government consisted
of Is rifles and the men themselves
were for the most part unemployed
it is only natural to wonder JUS
h1r 10 uif
was. At any rate, it must have
frightened some of the lads in Con-
gress for Immediately they started
digging up more funds for FBI.
More cash for the Omen however,
may prove beneficial for Alaska.
Two years ago the FBI office which
had been established in the Territory
had to be closed because of lack of
funds. A year later little more
money was made available and again
an agent has been stationed in A
Iaska with headquarters at Juneau,
as formerly. This agent has the Ter
ritory of Alaska, some 100000
square miles, to cover. AS any one
familiar with the north knows, the
result is that he has to spend most
of his time and most of his allot-
ment on boats and airplanes trying
to get from here to there. If the FBI
is to be effective to any appreciable
degree in a Territory one-fifth the
size of the United States and seven
times as hard to get around in it
needs for more money and several
more men.
Our own personal tum-tum, how
ever, is that Alaska hasn't the pop
ulation to warrant such an expendi-
ture and that the happy way out of
1t would be to use the IA agents of
the Alaska Game Commission, who
already have broad authority, as the
foundation of an Alaska law en-
forcement agency. The Game Com
mission is a unit of the Interior De-
partment which has control of go
per cent of the Territory at the pres
emit time-it will have the other 10
per cent when it takes over the For
est Service, probably around the
first of July-so what more natural
unit to do the police work? It's a
debatable question whether, with
less than 100000 population, Alaska
needs as much law enforcement as
they are talking about these days,
but If it does, why not make use of
an agency already on the job by sim
ply broadening it's authority?
The Wildlife Agents cover the
Territory in the duties they now
have. They are Alaska men appoint
ed by a Commission of Alaska men,
who have an iron-bound rule that
