THE AEROPLANE SERVICE
Next to creating n navy in all" ite krmehc* w., tl.ink M.at
ti„. createst effort on the part of our government should be to
improve and perfect the aeroplane service. We are not cei tarn
that the final solution of the submarine menace will not >*
through the air offensive; not to combat the submarine itself,
but to destroy the works where they are constructed.
The invention of the aeroplane was almost coincident with
i that of the submarine. It would be queer, would it not, if the
final arbiter of a war should be the aeroplane on one side and
the submarine on the other? ...
The English seem to be excelling both the b rencli and. Her
mans in the air service, and from the news received daily of
what is being done in Europe with the aircraft, our government
ough to be Straining every effort to perfect and multiply this
branch of the service to respectable proportions.

THAT CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE
That Delegate Sulzor is fully alive to the necessity of a
more comprehensive grasp of the needs of Alaska by those in
congress to whom we are forced to look for aid and legislation,
is shown by his introduction of a joint resolution m the house
recently, providing for the appointment of a congressional com
mittee to visit Alaska during the interim of adjournment t<
study Alaskan conditions at first hand. While the primary
purpose of the proposed visit is to study Alaska with a view
of seeing just what legislation is needed to enable Alaska to d<
her full share in aiding the government in carrying out our wai
program, it can easily be made a great educational tour ioi
those coming, and work to a great advantage to all of Alaska.
The delegate should be given the united support of al
Alaskans in his attempt to have the committee appointed. I
might help him in his attempt if the various towns in the tern
tory should wire their endorsement and add their solicitation
to his. Alaska is today doing everything in its power to aid th
government in every way possible, and would do more il cei
tain restrictions were taken off. And it tin* committee make
the trip it is almost a certainty that they will be removed.
The development of the entire territory has been great!
handicapped by the lack of knowledge of Alaskan conditions o
the part of the national lawmakers, upon whom we are greatl
dependent for legislation. Laws made for Alaska are mac
from a viewpoint entirely foreign to the country, and witlioi
bearing on Alaskan conditions and handicaps. A workin
knowledge of these conditions cannot be had with any degri

get t ns committee appointed. Under the war conditions i
may be that congress will deem it inadvisable to appoint sue!
a body to make an extended tour. He may be unsuccessful i,
his attempt, but he certainly deserves credit for having tin
nght idea and being on the job enough to put it up to congress

PINCHOT AGAIN NAILED
Once again Gifford Pinchot lias had some of his pet theor
ScSSS’fv Vichjity 0f Cordova« Alaska, included in
the Chugach forest reserve, which reserve is equal in area to
the state ol Kentucky, and winch, according to Gifford Pinchot
contains 72,000,000,000 feet of marketable timber which must
be conserved for our children’s grandchildren, the United
States is establishing an important radio station. For a dis
tance of some ten miles between two stations of the wireless
system, a telegraph line had to be built, and recently the US
SSf ^at;?11was tiad tbc Cordova dock unloading some
rosene. telegFaph P°les for use 011 Chugach forest
Strangest feature of all, these poles came from San Fran
cisco, but deponent sayetli not as to where they were cut They
were small poles and axemen could have certainly cut them
from the reserve nearby in a short time. Plain,' unfinished
rough hewn telegraph poles shipped by the U. S. government
to a U. S. forest reserve, is certainly a remarkable illustration

let the provision go by the board, and there is no probability of
the house taking the question up anew. The public has faith in

terrible as press-muzzling.

A study of the market reports is almost convincing that no
tatoes are being hauled as first class passengers and charged
for the wonderful vistas of scenery. Or else, somewhere along
the line the middlemen are playing highwaymen.

About the only way to outrun the constable is to jump into
