Hundreds of subpoenas have been issued through- out Alaska and the States demanding the books and correspondence of various conceyns. Business execu- tives, their accountants and attorneys will be called upon to spend weeks of valuable time and thousands of dollars in an effort to prove that they are not 'monopolislic or have not conspired with some mono- | polistic operator. | Transportation companies, liquor dealers, cannery- men, herring packers . . . just about everyone with a business in the Territory bigger than a shoeshine stand, has been ordered to appear before the Anchor- age grand jury — strangely enough at just about the time the Statehood hearings will be on in Washington, D. C. REMEMBER—ELECTIONS Just to keep voters on their toes, there are two elections coming up within a week. First, is the city election, Thursday, April regarding selling the A. B. Hall and adjacent property { for a Territorial Building. Any citizen who has resided | in the Territory one year and in the city precinct for 30 days is eligible to vote at the City Hall, Council Chambers, anytime between 8 o'clock in the morning and 7 o'clock in the evening. It is practically a cinch the election should go unanimously for the transaction Then again, one week from today, voters will go to the polls in the Territorial Primary election. This is another important inning for voters and they should wise themselves up as to selection of worthy men for the various offices. 20, | Statehood and Grand Juries (Alaska Weekly) The statehood problem is occupying the center of Of course Captain Lathrop, having poured out capital with a lavish hand to develob a coal mine which has been a God-send to the Rail belt and furnished one of its best year-round payrolls, is doubtedly a monopolist since there is no other privs ' | operated commercial coal mine serving the same area. He really should be penalized and financially crippled so that he cannot contribute further to Alaskan de- velopment, One thing that should loom large in the mind of even the most rabid capital baiter is that there is no more certain way to frighten capital away from the Territory, or state, than to berate, harass and hamper capital already in it. Ask almost any businss man why he opposes statehood and you will find that he brushes most other objections aside and answers GRUENING. Flirtatious spring is most likely misbehaving just 0 attract your attention. You should ignore the hussy. “Russian women are very much like American women,” asserts an American writer. So he can't understand Russian women, either, eh? A prohibition lecturer pours whiskey on a ger- the stage as the hearings before the Senate committee have been set. Most of the noise is coming from the statehood proponent camp and it will be interesting to note whether or not this group will develop any more anium, which causes it to wither quickly. The moral we draw from this is that if you're a geranium you shouldn't allow anybody to pour whxskey on you.

Sometimes at Key West recently the stakes were around $400. To take care of losers, Tru-l man taxes 5 to 10 per cent of each stake which is pald into a special kitty; and when a losing player goes broke, he is entitled to a free grant from the kitty. At the end of the game, the Kitty is divided equally among all the play- ers. Most Presidential poker sessions are held on the Williamsburg after dark. The President doesn't let them drag much past midnight, however, because he is an early riser. When the poker chips are flying and the Presidential bourbon is flowing, the President forgets his burdens, and for a few hours be-! comes just plain Harry Truman again.
