: j Morris Llewellyn Cook, trustee
i | of the New York State Power
i; Authority and one of the fore
| most electrical engineers in the
[ country, declares in the March
j number of “Survey,” that do
i mestic consumers and small
commercial consumers of elec
tricity in the United States are
paying twice as high prices as
they should.
“These consumers use 30 per
cent of the ‘juice’ and pay 61
per cent of the gross revenues of
power companies,” says Mr. Cook.
“In profit, in steady demand
and in possibilities for increased
business, the small users have
become the hope of the electri
cal industry. In spite of this,
they have been treated as second
: fiddle by the industry which has
; overcharged them.
“Electricity cannot be as free
as air, but it can be sold as
water is sold, so its use will not
be unduly restricted because oi
the cost.”

DEFICITS
I _v
The recent Treasury report
shows that the deficit for the
first eight months of the current
fiscal year is $1,781,000,000 and
that this will be increased to
$2,500,000,000. The only way to
prevent deficits in any treasury
is to quit spending money. But
just as soon as the legislators
start to prune appropriations
down, the political interests be
gin to holler for fear of offend
ing voters who desire federal
improvements at the expense of
the treasury.

ISSUE OF CITY ELECTION
-X
The main issue in the forth
coming city election is the pur
chase and installment of a die
sel auxiliary unit to be an ad
dition to the hydro-electric Sta
ton now being operated in
Blind Slough. If the council
follows the attitude of the pre
sent body, an auxiliary unit will
be purchase and installed. Unde''
present circumstances Mr. Lock
en is opposed to the expenditure
necessary to install such equip
ment. Election of the city offi -
cials will give approval or dis
approval of the plan to add to
the indebtedness of the town.

COAL BUNKERS BLOCKED
Those two famous Alaska
loving (?) Senators, Howell and
Kendrick, have blocked the con
struction of the Seward coal
bunkers, according to a message
received recently by The Gate
way from Anchorage. The two
named alleged statesmen will
not agree to the Alaska Railroad
appropriation for this develop
ment project unless it can be
shown in black and white that
10,000 tons of coal will be handl
ed annually through said pro
posed bunkers.
Thus, by a wave of the noble
(?) palm, the labor of years of
pioneers, is swept aside by one
or two wearers of the royal
purple who hold the destiny of
thousands of people in their
clutches.
Why does not Howell and
Kendrick want to see the Alaska
Railroad pay or Alaska’s coal
mines developed?

HELPING OUT THE BEARS
-X
Despite the demand for feed
ing babies and reducing the
bieadlines of the adults in the
States, John M. Holzworth, pres
ident of the National Association
of Wild Life Conservationists,
Inc., finds time to sidetrack
such insignificant matters to
plead the cause of the Alaska
brown bear. The Gateway is in
receipt of a clip sheet, composed
cf expressions from a number of
newspapers “away down east,”
urging the creation of additional
reservations for the brown bear.
He asks The Gateway to join
him in his “noble service.”
Fair enough. We heartily a
gree that something should be
done about it. Let all those ad
vocates of stifling the Territory
for the benefit of a few indivi
duals who relish shooting a wild
animal for the fun of seeing it
die, harken to the cry against
hoarding; buy a large slice of the
public domain somewhere in the
black belt of Harlem, set a force
of penniless laborers to razing
the buildings and domiciles cal -
culated to produce the correct
psychic reactions in an irrascibie
brown bear. Then round up the
rackeeters and toss them into
the inclosure, and invite the
gang out to witness a demon
stration of the docility of broth
er Urside. We suggest Stewart
Edward White as marshal of the
day, the ceremonies to be opened
by his stroking a brown bear’s
whiskers.—Seward Gateway.
PLAIN TALK
By E. S. Hungerford, Candi
date for Delegate to Repub
lican National Convention
-x
Primary election will be with
us very shortly. It is time that
Alaska citizens commenced to
give the question, “Who’s whc
and why?” a little attention
and try to see clearly through
the political smudges that ar>’
being raised. Who are we going
to vote for in the primaries and
why? There are some grave
questions to be decided thir
year.
Primary elections have their
iaults; they came very close to
being abolished by the last Ter
ritorial Legislature. They are
proving inconvenient to the well
oiled plans of would be bossc
who would much rather hand
pick candidates for the differen’
offices than to have vote^r de
cide the policies of the parties.
Of one thing you may rest as
sured: Had the primaries been
abolished by the last Legislatun
the Republican voters of Alaska
would never have been called
upon to consider the arguments
of such a political throwback as
myself. I have been told that I
do not click; that I am no politi
cian; that I have no business in
politics, and that I am rocking
the boat. Well so be it!
I have always been more or
less of a supporter of Republi
can administrations Nationally
and have never seen any good
reason for doing otherwise in
Alaska. The Democrats have
never held forth any very prac
tical solution of our difficulties.
I am in the same position as a
good many other Alaska Repub
licans. I have looked over the
Democratic offerings and fail to
see where they are more to be
desired than those of the Re
publicans. I have remained a
Republican, but I will be blamed
if I will unreservedly endorse
tne last four years of adminis
tration in Alaska as Republican.
What we need is not a change
of vehicles, but a change of
drivers.
The argument will be ex
tensively used that we should
support the present administra
tion on account of the present
free service Alaska is receiving
from Federal sources. There is
no denying that we have been
receiving considerable such
benefit. Most of it very satis
factory.
Of course I am ignorant but
as near as I have been able to
find out; lighthouses, marshals,
custom officers, land officers,
National park service, road ap
propriations, U. S. Engineers.
weather bureaus, coast guard,
agricultural experiment stations,
etc., are functioning all over the
United States, giving excellent
service and showing every indi
cation of continuing to do so.
To threaten Alaskans with the
loss of this service is an insult
to our intelligence. Unfortunate
ly we cannot eat service and the
burning question is: “How are
Alaskans going to continue to
eat?” Crude isn’t it!
If we could soar in the air
indefinately like the condor and
subsist on mosquitoes like the
dragon fly we might not be in
terested in our land or water.
Unfortunately we are subject to
human frailties and must look
to these sources for our sub
stance. Let us look!
In our fisheries we have the
domineering rule of Henry O’
Malley who, as Commissioner of
Fisheries, has imposed, in our
salmon fisheries, a condition of
affairs entirely foreign to the
intent of the White Fisheries
Bill and to equality and decency,
and who only recently blocked
a plea from the people of Alaska
that our herring fisheries be
protected from wanton waste.
Very plainly is to be read the
message that O’Malley is not
here for the only purpose of
conserving the fisheries of Alas
ka; but to establish monoplies
and protect large non-resident
exploiters from competition
from small operators and loc.fi
fishermen.
On our land we have the Bu
reau of Forestry who have suc
cessfully blocked settlement and
development for twenty years
and who have succeeded, by
means of arbitrary cutting re
gulations and obstructionist ex
port policies, in preventing any
revenue to be derived from our
timber, and who at present are
trying their double darndest to
*put over a program which will
pass over the lands under their
control to the inconsiderate ex
ploitation of non-resident cor
porations, and doom southeast
ern Alaska to remain a wilder
ness forever.
The Democrats will no doubt
continue to ‘holler’ for Terri
torial this and Territorial that,
which under present conditions
and a fair and impartial ad
ministration under Federal of -
ficers, even the dumbest of us
know, is neither to be expected
c:, in a good many cases, at
present to be desired.
I am not one of those who
blame Mr. Hoover for the pre
sent world depression or the
amount of snow we had last
winter, but he heads the Admin- ,
istration which for the last four!
years has upheld the hand of
O Malley in our fisheries andj
that of the Forest Service off! -1
cials on our land. By refusing to'
re-indorse him g,s President wej
are lodging our protest.
A vote for me in the primaries
will mean that Alaska Repub- J
licans are seeking more Alaska!
minded presidential timber. Just
whom that will be remains to be
determined as opposition to Mr.
Hoovers nomination develops.
Are you going to vote for me
and lodge your protest or are
you going to allow your vote to
say in effect: “Four more years;
of the same please; we like it.”

10-CENTS HAM AND
-X
Down in Portland a restuarant (
is selling “ham and” at ten cents
and is meeting with opposition
from the Waiters’ Union on the
grounds that the prices would
tend to force down wages.
There are more people able to
pay ten cents for a dish of “ham
and” than can pay four bits or
two bits. In proportion as the
sales increase the force of wait
ers must be increased.
The war is over—and another
war—war on prices is on.
NEVER HAD FAITH
Senator Byrnes recently de
clared that “the farmers had
lost faith in the Farm Board.” j
Seems he slipped on a banana
peel—the farmers never had
faith in the board and that was
justified.

POLITICAL STRAWS
Speaking of the recent elec
tions in North Dakota* the elec
tion judges declared that the
demand for Democratic ballots
indicated that thousands of Re
publicans had switched to the
Democratic Party—at least for
I the primary. Well now, what was
| there to be expected?
MAD HOUSE ECONOMY
Dr. Thomas H. Robinson, so
ciology instructor at Colgate
j University recently speaking ol
I present day economy as “the
economy of a mad house.” This
was due to the current Ameri
can practice of continually pro
ducing more of the world's
goods and providing workers
with less and less wages with
which to buy them.
-x
WHY
Senator McNary has intro
duced a bill seeking to classify
Sitka spruce as an agricultural
commodity under the term of
the Agricultural Marketing Act. i
Senator “Ham” Lewis advo-1
cates the abolishment of the
Interior Department, Interstate
Commerce Commission, Ship-;
Ting Board and Trade Commis- I
sion. Functions of the Interior
Department, not eliminated
would be transferred to the
Agricultural Department under
the proposal. He said the gov
ernment would save $15,000,000
by this move.
