L, Bastos | CHIROPRACTOR picture of the public school system and the method of its functioning. It is gratifying to be assured that the same high standard of work and the progress which characterized the schools under Mr. | Breuer's predecessor, L. D. Henderson, continued without any loss of momentum. Among the recommendations made by Br. Breuer for improvements, one stands out with striking force.' In common with other Alaska educators, he dis-| approves the popular election of Commissioner of Education and urges ‘removal of the office from its present political atmosphere.” In place of elec- tion by a Territory-wide ballot, he would substitute an appointive board of six members, including the Governor, which would be empowered to employ and’ dismiss the Commissioner. i Mr. Breuer, who was a candidate for a party nomination to succeed himself and lost, knows by actual experience in the position that it is sur- rounded by a “political atmosphere.” Shrewd poli- ticians, seeking advantage for themselves and their organizations, do not hesitate to undertake to make the school system an_ integral part of their.organi- zation. Either they 'do not know, or do not ‘care it they know, the damage that would be done to the cause of education if they were successful in attaining their desires. Mr. Bruer probably could relate some very enlightening and interesting | circumstances in this connection if he were so minded to do. His recommendation for a change in the mode of selecting a Commissioner reflects widespread public sentiment, at least in Southeast Alaska. Appointment by a board is preferable, whether such a board as Mr. Breuer has suggested or one differently constituted is a matter which our law- makers and officials should consider and determine without undue delay. Mr. Breuer has spoken earnestly and sincerely. In his recommendations he has been guided by what he believed is best for Alaska and its schools. He speaks with the authority of an intimate knowledge gained from almost two years of administration of the depart- ment. The fact that he is retiring from office a defeated candidate should not detract from his re- port the consideration that it certainly merits. SPECIAL FORCE NOT NECESSAR}.- If there is a shakeup impending in the Federal | Prohibition ranks in* Alaska, as is reported here | from apparently well-informed sources, we believe the Federal authorities should give the local situa- tion some serious study before final determlnauon‘ on the future status of the Dry agency in this Ter- ritory. The unique position occupied here by other | Department of Justice agencies, and the absolute | Jjurisdiction they enjoy in all local law enforcement, makes out of the Prohibition force a fifth wheel | that so far has failed to demonstrate its useful- ness and has merely succeeded in impressing the | general public with its lack of ability to fit in with the system as a whole. { A full realization of this situation led Gov. Parks, in his several annual reports, to recommend the withdrawal of the Dry agency from the Territory | and the consolidation of all law enforcement time, Mr. Smith continues to occupy the office to which he was appointed by the President and a controversy which began during the Christmas holidays will be carried to the courts. The issue turns upon the validity of a Senate rule governing the confirmation of appointments. This rule provides that the Senate may vote to reconsider nominations “on either of the next two days of actual executive sesslon” following its orig- inal action, and may request the President to return to the Senate notification of its approval of a nominee in case such notification has been sent to him. Mr. Smith’s nomination was originally con- firmed by a vote of 38 to 22 on December 20.

On the part of the Senate it is, or ought to be, a losing fight. We do not believe that Mr. Smith showed good judgment in voting to discharge the two experts whose dismissal caused the controversy. We do not think he is the right man to serve as Chairman of the new commission. It seems clear, however, that when the Senate seeks to recall its confirmation of a public official after he has taken office it is overstepping its authority and attempt- ing to usurp the power of the Executive Depart- ment,. The North Road. (Prince Rupert Evening Empire) A committee, representing Canada and the 1 United States, will examine the Alaska road project. |1t will be a fact finding committee. It is self evi- dent that this great highway construction idea, to link the United States with the North, is being given serious thought and study. It already has the approval of men who are not given to making ill-considered or thoughtless statements. A motor road, such as suggested, would help vitalize the whole north and make more imperative than ever, the road from Prince Rupert, through to Terrace and Hazelton.
