ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION JUST PLAIN DEMAGOGUERY. A strenuous effort is being made by certain can- didates, including First Division Republicans seek- ing places in the House of Representatives, and Henry Roden, Independent candidate for Senator, to make an issue out of the method of selecting the Territorial Commissioner of Education. That is unfortunate. Our schools ought to be left out of the hurly-burly of partisan political campaigns. We have had our experience with popular election of the Commissioner of Education. We should have learned enough from that to keep us from repeating the experiment. In 1929 the Legislature changed the office from appointive to elective. The first election was held in 1930. A controlled vote decided the election. Louis F. and William L. Paul, Indian politicians, (the former is now a Republican candidate for the House) supported W. K. Keller, Republican, and he defeated A. J. Karnes. Mr. Keller resisted the ef- forts of the Pauls to dictate to him in the matter of appointments in his office. He refused in particular to discharge his efficient secretary, who had held office under all of his predecessors. He likewise steadfastly made educational qualification rather than political affiliation of teachers a necessary requisite for positions in the Territorial school sys- tem, again offending his quondam supporters. When Mr. Karnes was elected in 1932, he continued the same policies. Fortunately for the future of the schools and their efficient operation, the Legislature, with the co-operation of Mr. Karnes, revised the entire system of school organization, creating a Board of Education which it empowered to elect a Commissioner. .Thus,.so.{ar,as i bumanly. possible, it removed the o“ffiae m" political wite-pulling and freed it from pressure by partisans desiring to place political or personal friends in the schools as teachers. Opponents of that system argue that the people ought to select the Commissioner by their votes. Without analysis that has a fine, democratic sound. Actually it has nothing to do with democracy. As long as the people make the laws under which the educational system operates, as long as they levy and collect the taxes which support the schools, there is no danger of them being undemocratic. The question of who carries out the laws and directs the operation of the system is relatively unimportant, if he does it capably. No one argues that muni- cipalities ought to elect their Superintendents of City Schools, and the teachers who are employed in them. There is no more reason why the head of the Territorial system should be so chosen than there is why the head of the City system should be, or the kindergarten, grade, high school teachers should be. The principle is the same in all cases. This argument that election of public officials is a part of home rule is largely fallacious. Usually its proponents are men looking for votes for some office themselves, or trying to build up a political o|insure him his seat, if he is elected. | machine for perpetuating themselves in office. Voters | will do well to analyze the motives behind cam- | paigns of this kind before committing themselves |to their support. | BORN TOO LATE? | | If Ralph D. Holt, young West Virginian nom-| inated for Senator in the Democratic primary, hndj been born a bit earlier, one of his present problems | |would not exist. If elected, he will not be o]d‘; ;enough to become a Senator under the Coonstitution ‘ror several months. His thirtieth birthday an- | niversary occurs June 19. | Mr. Holt and his friends are relying upon what | they consider an ancient precedent, however, to Henry Clay, on of the most distinguished men ever to occupy {a seat in the Senate, was not 30 years old until after the expiration of the term for which he was appointed in November 1806. The Senate, some say, | did not raise the question of the Kentuckian's age. | The Senate cidn't know until long afterward that Clay wasn't of age when he took his seat Holt is depending upon the Democratic majority in the next Senate to seat him anyway. | Strict constitutionalists may be irritated by the {casual fashion in which the literal terms of that ! sacred document are winked at by the politicos. But | most citizens probably will agree that a good many ;Lhings are done, by the Supreme Court at that, | which do not quife meet the literal phrases of the Constitution. If the people of West Virginia want | Mr. Holt as their Senator, the citizens may argue, why should a slight discrepancy prevent him from enjoying a six-year term? The best argument for stretching the law a point is the supposed need for a few young men in the Senate. More than half of the members of the Senate now are over 60, and only 14 are under |50, although at times the general impression is that of general childishness. In any case, Mr. Holt has a more serious problem just now than getting| | seated. He has first to be elected. I A New York college president recently sa tp Europe as a common seaman.

For the Home Owners Loan Corporation, the | Treasury has offered $150,000,000 in bonds of lha[' Federal agency. They will be in three series of | $50,000,000 each, with maturities of two, three and four years respectively, and will bear interest at rates ranging from 1'. to 2 per cent. Under a law |enacted at the last session of Congress, principal as well as interest is guaranteed unconditionally by !the Government. This is also true of the $100,000,- 000 of Federal Farm Mortgage bonds which the | Treasury offered last month Proceeds of the new issue will be used primarily to finance renovation of homes on which the cor- { poration has taken mortgages. This is one phase of the Government's present effort to revive activity in the building trades and to stimulate the demand | for lumber, hardware, glass, cement and other products of the lagging ‘“durable goods industries.” A new phase will begin next week when the re- cently organized Federal Housing Administration starts a program intended to encourage recondi- | tioning of homes in all parts of the country. Of- ficials of this agency belicve that more than 16,000,- 000 buildings which have been permitted to deter- iorate during the depression now stand in need of repair. No one questions the great lift that would be given to all industry by the resumption of anything like normal activity in the construction trades. But | costs are involved as well as credit; for many home- owners will be reluctant to run into debt to their Government, even when it invites them to do so . ——— 20 YEARS AGO From The Empire . S — —~ AUGUST 25, 1914. Juneau was to be in the hands of the Shriners before the end of the week. The invaders from Nile Temple were expected within a few days from Seattle and the ad- | vent of the pilgrimage in Juneau was to be marked by a monster Oriental parade in which were to be gorgeous costumes and music galore. This was to precede the ceremonials to follow attending the admission of a class of novices. The big time planned promised to eclipse the previous visit of the Shriners two years before. H. A. Bishop, John W. Troy, J. F. McDonald, William Britt, C. F. Cheek, A. H. Ziegler and J. M. Miller, together with three women members, constituted the Demo- cratic campaign committee, ac- cording to an announcement made by the Juneau Democratic Club., Juneau Elks were to be hosts at a social session the following even- | | ing after the regular lodge meet-! | ing. An exceptionally fine time| ' was being planned and the wives! &' and lady friends of the members were invited. President F. W. Bradley, of the Treadwell Mining companies, said | | there was no foundation to the rumor that heads of certain de-| partments of the companies’ or-| ganizations were to be requested to| resign. He stated that conditions | . at the mine were normal and ex-| | BUSY AND Not Because We Are Cheaper BUT BETTER RICE & AHLERS CO.
