torial government is the wish of the people of AL aska. This is economy which will mean sac- ritces by all of the people of the Territory. For instance it may probably mean end to wolf coy ote, eagle and trout bountes, among those things which are not productive of results in relation to their cost The people of some parts of Alaska will be loath to see the bounty system junked, for it has meant money in their pockets But if every $20 spent for coyote bounty does not do the Territory at least S20 forth of good, as men who have made careful study of the system prepared to dem- onstrate to the Legislature it does not the bounty system should be discarded and that money saved. And so down the line. The Territory of Alaska cannot afford to a pie wagon in times like these

NEW LEGIsLATURE-NEw PROBLEMS

With the converting of the 18th Territorial Leg islature just week away the only Legislators in Juneau at this time are those who live here, the First Divisions entire representation in the House.
 In contrast to former years, when Legislator arrived early and hotel lobbies by this time were beehves Of Legislative discussion the 18th is shap ing up slowly.
 This reflects for the most part, the rapid i'm provement of Aaskas Transportation facilities, whicl allow Legislators from the farhest parts of th Territory to remain at their homes until day o two before the time they are due in Juneau
 There was time not SC many years ago, wher the Legislators from the Second Division had t. leave Nome for Seattle on the last boat in Octobel or dog-team it to Fairbanks in the dead of winter long and arduous trip Now the Legislators iron the Second can leave Nome one day and be in Juneap the next. the result of air travel which has give wings to the men of the North.

An effort to enact more equitable sys- tenn of taxation in Alaska, to develop new sources ot revenue and thus remove some of the heavy load borne by the two industries of fishing and min ing, will be made by the 18th Territorial Legislature It is an effort which will require the best brains of the Legislature and the Territory as whole if it is to produce legislation which is scientific fair and effective Nothing could be destructive of Ter ritorial progress at this time than bad tax law and nothing could contribute more toward that pro- gress than good one.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not compe"
TUESDAY, JANUARY 21

Contending planetary aspects may be confusing today. Benefic aspects are strong in the morning and late afternoon, but adverse influ- ences are active between dawn and dusk.
 Heart and Home: This is a rarely fortunate configuration for women, who should push all their interests while the sway prevails. In the home the best conditions should exist except that there may be discontent among the servants. Girls may look for real lOvemaking. as young men may be extremely susceptible to beauty under this direction of the stars.
 Business Affairs: Theatres and places of music should profit on this date which is fortunate fer actresses as well as for managers and producers. Jewellers also should profit, since the demand for keep sakes will increase This is a favored date for all construction projects. Benefits will accrue from syndicates that develop housing far cilities in great cities. This is a time for repairs. and sanitation should engage special attention. Public health projects will receive support in efforts to protect the people against epidemics which are foretold. ess
 National Issues: Despite govel7f ment watchfulness there will be large profits realized from com tracts for defense needs The hew millionaires, long foretold, will be in the making as the year pro- gresses. This fact may encourage unrest among workers in trades that require ability and entail risk. Taxes will rise and there will be some anxiety about the Federal h.- come which will not be satisfactory in view of extraordinary expenses.
 International Affairs: According to London astrologer, Holland will be the scene of fighting. It may be necessary for British forces to invade this Nazi-controlled coun- try in which there will be growing Giscontent and rebellion. In May there is sign of promise for Bel gum The entrance of Jupiter into Gemini is read as hopeful and the destiny of this tiny nation may be- come connected with revival of Frances Independence.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of good fo, tune which is earned. Domestic CT business trouble is indicated
 Children born on this day will be courageous, thoughtful and studi- ous. They may be painstaking and methodical in their affairs. They will appraise persons carefully be- fore accepting friends.

 Associated Press Science Editor

SCHENECTADY. N. Y, Jan. 13.- An electric power substation on wheels that can travel 50 miles an hour and feed out enough electricity for a city of 10000, is ready for 1941s storm damage to electric lines.
 The plant is built on a trailer, and is no larger than medium size truck. It offers a new step in quick restoration of electricity when pow CT lines go out and for bombed con- munitities in war it has special pos abilities.
 The General Electric Go. design ed the portable power plant. It has a retractable, trolley-like tower ris- ing from the roof to make the con- nection with power line Inside are transformers and switching systems to distribute the electricity Two types have been made. one for large communities and the other for small.
 To make sure that children or providers do not burn themselves. he parts which might be touched by outsiders are set behind a heavy steel screen. The rest of the plant is sheathed like an armored truck behind steel plates.
