NEW SCHOOL FOR ANGOON
Ten years ago the Bureau of
Education recognizing the need
of a new schoolhouse in Angoon
promised the people of that
town it would be given them.
Each year the promise was re
newed until the Angoon people
no longer had any faith in Mr.
Hawkesworth, Superintendent in
Alaska, or in the entire Bureau.
Each year the convention of the
Brotherhood took up the mat
ter until this year when they de
clared the matter would be car
rid to the floors of Congress.
Now comes reports from An
goon that actual construction of
the building is taking place with
quarters for five teachers. All
things come to him who waits—
but Angoon also believes in a lit
tle prodding; of the powers that
be.
MORE AVIATION LETTERS

Seattle, April 28, 1928
Mr. Earl N. Ohmer, Mayor
Mr. Earl N. Ohmer, Mayor and
Chairman of the Commercial
Club, Petersburg, Alaska
SUBJECT: Aviation
My dear Earl:
Your letter of the 19th instant
transmitted by airplane, arrived
the morning of the 22nd, having
reached the city the day before
It was read at the meeting oi
the Alaska Committee the ev
ening of the 24th, and I was in
structed to acknowledge receipt
of same, together with the con
gratulations and greetings ex
tended.
j Your cordial sentiments were
deeply appreciated by the Com
mittee and it wishes to express
for itself, and on behalf of the
Chamber, the most kindly feel
ing toward the good people of
Petersburg and yourself, togeth
er with an earnest desire to con
tinue its efforts for the welfare
of your community and the Ter
ritory at large. It is believed
and fully appreciated, that the
closer contacts afforded by the
air service will be the means of
cementing more strongly than
ever before the cordial rela
tions between thse communities.
In these expressions on behalf
of the Committee the writer
most earnestly joins.
Yours very truly,
GARFIELD

CHEAP SPORT POLITICIANS «
The federal brigade have usedjj
Lester u. xienderson to further !
their political machinations. It
was not longer permitted by the
Senate.
So long as the rules hurt only)
the people, it was alright. But*
as soon asthe rules were used to
bust the machine, it is all wrong.
However, the Anchorage Times
should rest satisfied—the Com
missionership is now elective.
And further, the argument of
the Times as to the Commis
i sioner is true of auditor and se- !
cretary. Let the same rules ap- j
ply and then for good measure
the controller scheme to com
plete the system of home rule
as permitted by Congress.
MAY BE REMOVED
A commissioner elected by pop
ular vote would be directly re
sponsible to the people of the
territory. He would have to
make good to retain his office ;
longer than one term and if he
did make good no small group
or faction of senators would
have power to remove him. -
There would be a bigger incent- 1
ive for making good than there
is under the present system, a
constant striving to improve the t
schools to retain public confi- j
deuce as well as for education’s j
sake! and it would certainly be j
helpful to the schools and to the)
territory for superintendents to
know that they would be eligible
to become candidates for the
commissionership. It would!
have a tendency to keep the j
abler educators in the territory |
and help to build up a real;
Alaska school organization, wit 11
virtually every superintendent j
qualified to fill the office of
commissioner should proper op
portunity present itself.—An
chorage Times.
Editor’s note:—What better
argument could any proponent
of home rule offer for the elec
tion of the controlling board
hi an the Times which has favor
ed the federal machine as
against the people?
buries cannery sanitatin
Senator Steel’s cannery sani
tation measure was defeated in
the House. Contention was
raised that the matter is bein'?
cared for by the canneries and
it would only be useless legisla
tion. This bill had the support
of a number of the better class
of canners.
The bill was buried in the
House until this week and when
reported out was defeated by
a vote of ten to five
