WHY THE LICENSE ?
It would seem the reasonable thing to permit the
"taking of wolves and coyotes without the necessity of
buying a license for the privilege, and recommendation
has been made the Alaska Game Commission to that
effect.
That the commission regards such a proposed change
in the laws with favor is seen in the fact that the sug
gestion was passed on to the biological survey at Wash
ington, and it may in time be done.
The restriction, though a minor one, seems hardly
fair, even though the predatory beasts come under the
head of fur animals because their skins are marketable.
There should be not the slightest bar placed upon the
taking of these destructive animals, but every encour
agement should be given to the man in the woods,
whether he be prospector, homesteader or casual trav
eler, to bring them to earth.
The menace of the wolf and coyote is an ever pres
ent one, and wiping them out entirely should be the
only end sought. But until such a change is wrought
in the game laws, the public must bear in mind that a
$2.00 trapping license is necessary before the mauraud
ers can be legally killed, either by trapping or by gun
fire.—Seward Gateway.
PROPAGANDA IN THE AIR
-
(New York Sun)
When the board of education approved an appropri
ation to install a radio receiving system in a new school,
James Marshall, its vice president, objected. He fear
ed that the receiving system, which would permit each
classroom to tune in on a program, might be abused,
especially in days of political excitement. He foresaw,
moreover^the likelihood that teachers would get into
trouble for tuning in this speaker or excluding that one.
Evidently Mr. Marshall’s colleagues though his ap
prehensions far fetched, for they all outvoted him.
Nevertheless, he raised an issue which will have to be
settled if radio sets are to be installed in all or most of
the city’s classrooms. For example, who is to decide
when the class in history shall pause in its study of the1
bill of rights to listen to a talk by Earl Browder or Jim
Farley? If a mayor or a governor delivers a purely
political talk what school official will have the temerity
to choke off the speaker in the midst of his address?
If a city official makes an erroneous statement—as the
mayor did recently when he boasted that his adminis
tration is formulating the largest school building pro
gram in history—is a teacher to tell her pupils that his
honor was wrong? And if a teacher does so will she
get into trouble for showing “discourtesy” to the mayor?
It has been suggested that no controversial subject
be discussed in a school broadcast unless speakers for
opposing sides are heard. Assuming this arrangement
were attempted, there is no assurance that the young

;ters would be exposed to propaganda of equal effec
tiveness. Their minds would be made up not so much
by the truth of the arguments as b}r the skill of the
speakers. Such a course would make of the schools a
soapboxer’s delight.
Will the political leader who enrolled more voters
than there were in his district get in touch with the
New York man offering $10,000 a ghost?
Wall Street Brokers who were told Roosevelt would
lose the election evidently put little stock in it.
It is a little confusing that economists are so often
liberals.

One mistake of the bureaucrats is that they have

Record consumption of beer in the United States
this summer was not altogether due to the drought. The

many political promises with a grain of salt.
Eight presidential blegtions out of ten in United
States history have resulted in lanslides for one of the
candidates. This one, according to the party managers,
was a landslide for both of them.
