TATIVES - 1411 ttle, Wash, Alaska Newspapers, MORE ON ABORIGINAL RIGHTS The latest protest to the proposed creation of areas in Alaska for Indian citizens, a move sponsored by the Department of the Interior, comes from the Pioneers of Alaska, Igloo No. 6 of Juneau. The hearings in Alaska are over now, of course, but another hearing is tentative! et for November 15 in Seattle and this protest will be read there. It was unfortunate exclusive land and water that this protest and many [ e not delivered earlier. We have devoted a good many to subject for the past several months, but it seems that the serious aspect f the hearings could not be recognized. , the Pioneers point out that the Treaty of Cession, Article IV, the early ers came to Ala: on the express invitation of Government of the United States, which bought Alaska from Russia with public funds, taking title & and unencumbered by any reservations, privileges, franchises, grants or possessions by any associated companies, whether corporate or incorporate, Russian or any other, or by any parties except merely private individual property holders.” Of course this isn’t going back far enough. Per- haps the Russians could be blamed for selling some- thing they didn't really own, and then some other party before the Russians. But when you finally got back to the Creation, you'd find that God Almighty t the earth for the exclusive and any or individual group IS wel words the other thir did create use occupancy of race or of individuais. The word is going around now that these exclusive 4 'un(h\\llvv(l]y the * ervations” will be tested. | P it e e e % Surplus Land ] (Washington Post) The testimony of the Surplus Property Admin- istrator, Mr. W. L. Clayton, before the Mead Com- | | mittee did little to support his view that he ought| |to be given a completely free hand in the disposal of surplus properties. On the contrary, it effecti | demonstrated that the Senate, in its version of the | | surplus property bill, is altogether right in insisting |upon Congressional preseription of policies in the framing of a disposal law. The Senate realizes the social and economic implications of the tremendous |task with which Mr. Clayton has been entrusted | Mr. Clayton’s testimony dismissed land disposal as | not one of “the most important problems” he r:\cos.v and expressed regret that it had “become so much a matter of public discussion and controversy.” | Whether or not it takes precedence in importance |over contract termination and the disposal of in- | dustrial facilities, it remains a matter weighted withi the utmost significance for the whole of our rural eccnomy. By the manner in which we return to private ownership the vast farm acreage acquired by [the Government in the course of the war, we shail |determine the survival of family farming as the basis of American agriculture. This is the choice before us: We can dispose these lands indiscriminately at the market price |to the highest bidder, as Mr. Clayton suggests; {we can make them available on a selective ba | bona fide farmers—war veterans, discharged indus workers and men who are at present farm ienants who genuinely seek a chance to own and operate a [small farm for themselves. If we pursue the course | jadvocated by Mr. Clayton, the farm lands released ! by the Government will certainly come into the hands |of speculators and large landowners, thus aggravating !the trend toward corporate farming and absentee ownership which already plagues seriously our agri- | cultural eccnomy. If, on the other hand, we make | (this land available, at reasonable prices and with |governmental aid in the form of credit, to small| farmers who want it, need it and know how to! | manage it, we shall give/real impetus to the democra- | tization of rural America. And we shall provide a| Imeans for the reemployment of many thousands of | |farmers demobilized from the armed forces and from war industries. of THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE— JUNEAU, ALASKA PR | i APPY BIRTHDAY OCTOBER 17 A.

Bad news re-| lating to domestic issues may dis- | turb the nation. Labor is under an | adverse sign. | HEART AND HOME: Women m»! day should be stimulated by influ-i ences that harmonize and inspire | the family. The trend toward re- ligious observances as a result of | the urge to develop spiritual under- standing will be widespread. Tid- ings of battlefront demonstrations | of the power of prayer will affect Assistant Attorney General Norman Littell advo- cated this latter approach in testimony before the Mead Committee. “It is not quite clear,” said Mr. | Clayton, “as to how Mr. Littell would go about flxmgi some price below the market price that buyers should | be asked to pay for this land.” In point of fact,| nothing could be clearer to anyone familiar with the | farm problem and with farm legislation. The Bank- head-Jones Farm Tenant Act has established a pro- | !cedure under which county committees appraise land | in terms of its long-time agricultural value, as dis- | !tinguished from its market price, and also pass upon | the qualifications of purchase applicants. The system | has been in successful operation for half a dozen years. : { Obviously it is a system which can best be ad- | ministered by an agency which has had experience | with it and which possesses the organization to cope with it. That agency is the Department of Agri-i culture. The Reconstruction Finance Corporation, to which Mr. Clayton has chosen to entrust the | whole job of surplus farm land disposal, is equipped only to liquidate—without regard to the social and | economic consequences of what it does. It is no more fitted for this undertaking than it is for the manage- | ment of the United States Navy. Certainly the system cannot operate so long as a tollgate in the form of “’Vll portent of systematized work | people on the home front. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Construc- tive work of all sorts is well di-| rected by the stars. Home build- ing on a small scale will be neces- ry in many parts of the country nd Government priorities will be issued in increased numbers. Readi- ness for postwar building should be assured this year before immense contracts will be let as the world conflict draws to a close.

The score was 7 to 4, and the zame was played at the Polo Grounds, New York. The Alaska Steamship Company and the Alaska Railroad were -harged with having a secret agreement which monopolized Alaska ship- ping rates. In a flying raid in the Seldovia district, special officers of the Pro- nibition Epforcement Bureau grabbed two stills, a considerable quantity »f moonshine and mash and arrested four persons, according to advices received by Acting Director A. G. Means. At a meeting of the Territorial Highway Commission, held in the office of Gov. Scott C. Bone, who was chairman, the commission went on record as unanimously favoring the extension of the Federal Highway Act to Alaska. The Admiral Line, in order to cooperate with the Young Men's Business Club of Seattle, which was to stage its second annual Alaska Week celebration soon, had agreed to transport without charge, all ex- hibits sent fram Alaska to Seattle for the occasion. The total enrollment of the Juneau Public Schools was 382 at this time, over 30 more than were enrolled at ths same time the previous | year, according to a statement made by Superintendent of Schools W. K. Keller. Twin Glacier Camp, Southeast Alaska’s pioneer resort for tourists, fishermen and big game hunters, closed its second successful season on October 1. Sufficent reservations had already been made for 1925 to insure its continued operation, according to Dr. H. C. DeVighne, Presi- dent of the Taku River Company, which owned and operated the resort. ‘Weather report: High, 35; low, 34; clear. | porrrr e e Daily Lessons in English 3 L. corpon IS UGS USSS SESSUB TS BSE S8 St e e WORDS OFTEN MISUSED: Do not say, “I inserted a bolt into the hole.” Say, “I inserted a bolt IN the hole.” OFTEN MISPRONOUNCED: Fragment.
