Salary Incraases In the closing hours cf the last | gession of Congress the salaries of | the Governor of Alaska and scc—! retary of the Territory were. in- creased from $7,000 and $3,800 to| $10,000 and $5,600 respectively. The | bill for the increase of the Goy-| erncr’s, salary was first passed in| the Senate but when it reached! the floer of the House it failed of passage because of the opposition of Delegate Sutherland. He did | not object to. the increase but: objected to the present incumbent receiving the higher emolument. | The salary of the Secretary was| increased in | the House, without| cbjection, to $4,400. When the bill reached the Senate an amendment | was offered and passed to make | the salary $5,600. It was then.that | a further amendment was offered | increasing the salary of the Gov-| } ermor. to $10,000, which passed. ‘When the bill' was returned to the ! House Delegate Sutherland was' interviewed and agreed not to of- [ fer any objections to its passage. The increases were urged on' the ground that the Governor of Ha-| waii received $10,000 and the Sec- | retary $5800, and that Alaska should have équal consideration. Mail Controversy For the winter months the gov- ernment made a. contract with the | Northland Transportation Com- | tween Seattle and towns north to Juneau.

Law as a Profession” was‘; the subject of an interesting dis-| course by. Territorial Senator An- thony J. Dimond of Valdez, at the April meeting of the Juneau High| School Student Body. He inter-| spersed his address with the re-| counting of many incidents, and| held the rapt attention of his audi-| tors throughout. He was enthus- iastically applauded. An unusual amount of business| was transacted at the meeting, which was held in the High School assembly hall. R. S. Raven, Superintendent of Schools, reported gratifying returns from the sale of advertising space in this year’s High School annual publication, the Totem. A sales campaign of copies of the puhn-; | cation will be started as soon as| it is off the press, and if sales meet expectations, the annual this year will be a monetary triumph. | Student Support Urged “If high school students with| subscriptions will support the To- tem as loyally as city merchants| have suported it with advertise- | ments, it will prove a financial { | sucess,” said Zalmain Gross in urging students to subscribe for copies. An amendmeni was made to the student hody constitution in the matter of emblem in athletics. At| ‘present, sweaters are given for| threc years of competitive or pub-| i lic participation in sports. This| practice will be discontinued after the current sc year.

FRESH Schilling T E 4 cisms, the impr n prevails that the appropriation passed by Con- B for the Alaska Railroad was cut from $1,000,000 to $500,000. As a matter of fact the act making appropriations the Depart- ment of the Interior for the fiscal year cnding June 30, 1932, and Which was approved Feb. 14, 1931, earries an item cf $1,000,000 for the Railroad, the same aggregate sum that was contained in the act passed a year ago. But there is the difference that in the recent act there is the provision “that not % exceed $250,000 of this fund shall be available for continuation of the investigation of mineral and gther resources of Alaska to as- oertain the potential resources vailable which will affect railroad nnage.” There is the further difference that a year ago $200,000 of the fund was made available for “capital expenditures,” while this year the amount named for that purpose is $250,000 | U.
