Another unhealthy political “rule of that most candidates feel that it is necessary to appeal to the Indian vote. Any candidate worth his salt should not have to appeal to any particular class. Many people in thé States advocating statehood for Alaska do not understand the set-up. For in- stance, Indians in the States, with few exceptions, have not been allowed to vote, especially those on reservations. Indians in Alaska on and off reseravtions have the right of franchise. There are many fine and upright Indians in Alaska who exercise their franchise independently and according to their judgment for the best interests of Alaska, regardless of other consideration This number is increasing from year to year. The Daily News has always and will continue to oppose methods, political or otherwise, to set apart the Indfan people as a separate class. We want them to feel that they are Americans with all the privileges and, responsi- bilities of other citizens without being subject to ex; ploitation by designing office holders or candidates. The best friends of the Indians are those who will | help them to break away from being mere tools of designing persons. power thumb” i THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE February 24 Laurel McKenzie Dorothy Brown Mrs. John Natterstad Stina Hope Herbert Martin February 25 H.

FAVORAI[E REPORT ON F[OOD CONTROL JUNFAU GOLD (REEK Congress has received a fav able report from the Corps &f gineers- recommending a flood con- rol project for Gold Creek for the protection of Juneau. The report estimates the first costs of the project for paving the boftom of the ereek with derrick- stone and the sides with concrete to be $311,000 for the federal gov- ernment and $20,000 for local in- terests. Construction would bg con- tingent on assurances that Ilocal neau interests would furnish all is, easements, and rights-of- way to the United States for co struction of the project, guarantee to hold the United States free from any damages resulting from construction of the project; con- ute to the United States the cost of making all necessary alter- ations to bridges and utilities and of constructing a fence on both banks of the channel; and maintain the entire project in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Army. Before such a. project can by come a reality Congress will have to first authorize the project in an omnibus flood control bill and funds will have to be appropriated once the authorization was granted.
