Only none women, one of them a Senator, were elected. Women made an even lower mark in the Eigthtieth Congress, in which there were seven of their sex in’the House. The Seventy-ninth Congress had 11 women Representatives, three having been appointed to fill unexpired terms of their hus- bands. In this Congress women hold about 1.7 per cent of the seats, well below feminine membership in legislative bodies of most other nations. In the new Indian Constitutional Assembly women occupy 5 per cent of the seats. True, a woman, Mrs, Margaret Chase Smith, crashed the Senate, and she was the first of her sex to do so without having been given a foot in the door by means of an appoinfment. She is rated a first- rate choice. And two new women Representatives, Judge Reva Beck Bosone, Democrat, of Utah, and Mrs. Cecil M. Harden, Republican, of Indiana, a school teacher who won in' a hard fight, will bring the same high ability to the House, as will the five | to do with. v to finance their campaigns.

It asks for the value of food consumed by each family—in detail. Our benevolent government would like to know too how much the family spent in those 12 months stamps, starch, insecticides, furniture, soline and oil, taxes and a host of other It asks even for the amount of spending money given to youngsters of the household. Tt may be that governments do this sort of thing when they have more money than they know what Certainly it is hard to believe that the survey can serve any useful purpose. The Govern- ment through the income tax returns knows every- thing it has any right to know about our wages and what we do with them. If it is important that it know what we spend on ink, for example, or men’s hats, an inquiry of a few manufacturers would provide the answer, and not for a small percentage of our people but for all of them. The questionnaire is official snooping gone wild. Perhaps next we shall have the Bureau of Statistics prying into the sexual behavior ‘of the average Can- adian—and coming up with a best seller. Statehood for Alaska (Ketchikan News) Even though the Truman Administration is sup- posed to be friendly to the plan for statehood for Alaska, the fight for self-autonomy should be kept active. Under the most favorable conditions possible, statehood is not likely to come in a hurry. Even after it is granted there is a constitutional convention and a lot of preliminary action before we will be allowed to exercise the full powers of statehood.

Tax bills amounting to| $206,000 and the continued opera- | tion of the buses at a loss forced | him to take the fleet off the road, | Hysom said. Hysom, in declaring the opera- tion of the bus line as “hopeless,” | said that the cloak of debt, plus| considerable weekly losses in op-' erating routes between Ft. Rich- | “made it impossible to make a| go of it. | Hysom, by court order, was ap-!| pointed receiver of the line in mid-August. He immediately drop- ped the bus routes to Fairbanks, Valdez and to Whitehorse, on the Alaska Highway. “They only lost money for the company,” he de- clared. | The O'Harra Bus Lines operated the largest fleet of buses in the Territory. ——— COYOTES SMART et it S 1 20 YEARS AGO { and Con technicolor. | all Moose children we s L ettt 2 ay Tearle was screened | Practices were being held for from THE EMPIRE et ity DECEMBER 3, 1928 At the Palace Theatre, “Altars of Desire,” starring Mae Murray A few sequences of the film were in the Moose children tree program. re requested to attend the practices, which were | being held on Tuesday afternoons after school. | | The first basketball mnasium was scheduled f game to be played in the new High School or the following Friday.
