MANY MATTERS
BEFORE LOCAL
LAW-MAKERS
Road construction, school develop
ment, construction of fish hatcheries,
the territory’s license form of tax
ation, and renewed consideration of
an eight-hour labor law, it is conceded,
holds first place is legislative discus
sion at Juneau.
The last Alaska legislature appro
priated $400,000 for construction of
roads, and as roads are considered
the paramount need of the territory,
legislators believe an oven larger ap
propriation may be granted at this
session.
More than $500,000 were appropri
ated by the last legislature for main
tenance and establishment of schools
in every community having ten or
more white children, as well as for
assisting schools in incorporated
towns and for the construction of the
new agricultural college and school of
mines at Fairbanks. The same liberal
policy in regard to educational mat
ters, legislators believe, will prevail
this year.
The power of Alaska’s legislature
over Alaska fisheries—-the greatest m
the world—is very limited. However,
it is believed that consideration will
be given to the conservation of the
fisheries more along the lines of de
velopment than those of pure conser
vation. One of the first bills intro
duced was one providing for the con
struction of hatcheries.
Alaska’s last legislature passed a
general eight-hour law in compliance
with the result of apopular referen
dum vote. The law gave the governor
power to suspend its operation at the
request of the National Council of De
fense, and this suspension was ord
ered during the v/ar period in so far
as it offected employment in the fish
ing industry. The law was then de
clared invalid by the United States
district court of the Fourth division
of Alaska, on the ground that an eight
hour law covering all employments
and inflicting penalties for violations
except where life or property was en
dangered, was illegal. Notice of ap
peal to the supreme court was given,
but the United States solicitor-gen
eral ordered that the appeal be not
perfected.
Because of the conflict between the
expressed will of the voters and the
decision of the court, legislators say
much consideration wil have to be
given this subject at this session.

LAMB HAS GREATER FOOD
VALUE THAN OTHER MEAT
SALT LAKE CITY, March 21.—A
nation wide campaign to promote the
consumption of lamb, inaugurated by
the National Woolgrowers’ Associa
tion, is under way, according to S. W.
McClure, secretary of the assaciation
which has offices in this city. A
former government food expert has
been employed to lecture and demon
strate the dressing and cooking of
lamb.
The future of the wool and sheep
industry depends in great part on the
increased consumption of lamb, Mr.
McClure says. Sixty per cent of the
sheepmen's profits come from the sale
of lambs. The other 40 per cent is
derived from the sale of wool.
“Since September 15, 1918, the pub
lic has at no time consumed the num
ber of lambs that has been placed on
the market. There is no export of
lamb from this country. In England
twenty-five pounds of lamb are con
sumed per year per capita. In this
country we use only about five pounds
per capita per year. Lamb is lower
in price than any other meat and has
a food value greeter than any other.
Few people know that its food value
is much greater than beef.”

MEXICO CITY, March 20.—Passing

HONOLULU TO
SCOUR STATES
FOR TEACHERS
HONOLULU, March 21—Henry W.
Kinney, superintendent of public in
struction of the Territory of Hawaii,
has planned to make a tour of the
normal schools of California, Oregon,
and Washington during the month of
April in an effort to obtain teachers
for the 1919-1920 school year.
Hawaii has suffered from a short
age of school teachers during the past
year and Mr. Kinney hopes to engage
at least 100 normal graduates during
his tour of the coast states. While
in San Francisco he will arrange with
steamship companies for transporta
tion for the teachers.
Discussing his plans, Mr. Kinney
said: “I will makes the trip to get
teachers direct from the normal
schools, as we find that this is much
more satisfactory than dealing with
agencies. Then, I think it would be
an excellent idea for someone from
Hawaii to get in personal touch with
nil of the normal schools of California,
Oregon and Washington. At present
wTe are in communication with only a
few of those in California,”
At present, grammar school teach
ers in Hawaii are paid a minmum of
$692 a year, with regular annual in
creases for five years, when a maxi
mum of over $1,000 is reached. Teach
ers’ organizations expect that the ter
ritorial legislature, which meets this
month, will grant them an increase
of one-third of their present salaries.
Support for the teachers’ measure has
been pledged by a number of promi
nent members of the legislature.
