MAYNARD-COLUMBUS
HOSPITAL TO CLOSE
The statement of Rev.
Norman McCay today, that
the Women’s Home Mis
sionary Society of the Met
hodist Episcopal Church au
thorities had decided defin
itely to close the Maynard
Columbus Hospital at Nome
on July 1st, comes as an
abrupt shock to Nomeites,
who have always consider
ed this valuable institution
in a light which reflected
too much for granted.
The loss of the hospitaliz
ation features in Nome will
be a serious blow to the
population here. What
scant attention it has
drawn publicly during the
past couple of years, has
not truly reflected its im
portance in the commun
ity.
In past years the hospital,
which has maintained at
all times, a completely equ
ipped and efficient staff,has
rendered invaluable aid to
the Nome section, patients
for which have come many
miles from outlying dis
tricts. both by dog team
and airplane, to make use
of its facilities
Here is a point which
comes directly home, not
only to Nomeites and oth
ers living in this section,
but to the Federal govern
ment as well. With the re
moval of this opportunity
of hospitalization the en
tire Eskimo population, na
tives of whole or part blood
will be without any possi
ble means of attention.

REPRESENTATION
IN LEGISLATURE
(Ketchikan Chronicle)
Since our legi dature was
organized—and we were
glad to get anything then,
for we had hardly the small
est measure of self-govern
ment—we have had two
houses, a senate and a
house, but both have been
elected on the basis of geo
graphical lines, not of pop
ulation.
Thus, the First division
has four representatives &
two senators in the legisla
ture. The Second division,
with only half as many peo
pie as the First division,has
exactly the same represen
tation in our legislature.
That is not in accord with
democratic principles, nor
is it even in strict accord
with custom in the states.
But the politicians have
been inclined to speak soft
ly as to bringing about a
chan™. A delegate who
advo . i s such a change
risks losing votes in the
less populated divisions. A
party which speaks too
loud!'- or. the subject risks
the same loss.
Nevertheless, it is a good
sign when the trend of thot
turns gradually toward a
development which must
come eventually. As Alas
ka continues to grow, some
means of proportionate re
presentation must be devis
ed. This was recognized by
the First division demo
crats meeting recently in
Wrangell. Party platforms
are not to be taken too ser
iously these days, but still
it is heartening to see even
such small recognition giv
en a subject so touchy for
politicians.
