Tut! Tut! Senator
The MIRROR wishes to add their protest to a recent
statement made by the Honorable Senator Butler of Nebraska
concerning his statement “the rank and file in Alaska believe]
that statehood should not come at this time.”
Senator Butler issued the above statement in a press (
conference at Omaha, Nebraska, following his recent junket
to the territory. “Most of the clamor for statehood is coming
from politicians who want to run for office,” the Senator is
reportedly to have sa'd.
»ve think the Senator is making “political hay” for his
constituents in Nebraska. He is apparently protecting them
from the “additional tax burdens they would be required to
meet to provide statehood for Alaska.”
Many hundreds of Alaskans signed a petition asking
Butler and his committee to endorse statehood. Butler earlier
said he was coming to Alask to “get the little mans views on
statehood.” From what the MIRROR learned he got his wish.
Hundreds of Alaskans told him they wanted statehood.
We feel that Senator Butler is quite incorrect in his
statements. The evidence for those favoring statehood is
overwhelming.
Alfred Bretthawer, con
struction worker with Drake
Puget Sound, was fined $2-3
recently for fishing without a
i
license. The arrest was made
I by Chief A. R. DeBoo, FVVS
, representative for Kodi'ak Na
I val Station.
"flAY-POUNG"
Before the days of horse drawn hay racks, hay
was “poled” from the field to the barn. Two long
poles were slipped under each piie of hay and
carried by a nair of workmen. Neighbors usually
helped, each other in order to get the job done in a
reasonable time.
hor many years we have been the means by which
people have got jobs done. We have kept the money of
our depositors in circulation by financing worthw'hile
private enterprises, for everybody’s benefit. Prosperous
people mean a prospetous community. ... a prosperous
community means a prosperous hank. . . . and a pros
perous bank means a prosperous people. That’s America,
for you.

“If Kansas City can eet
relief money for floods, why
shouldn’t Alaska getsome for
the fishermen. The failure of
the fish to show this year is
probably due to many factors,
but the fact that a fisherman
must support a family on a
few hundred dollars can not
be ignored,” Benson de
clared.” This is an emer
gency,” he added.
