NO PROFIT IN GOVERNING
]
The statement of Gov. Riggs, of
Alaska, to the house committee on
appropriations that he was unable to
get along on his salary of $7,000 is
likely to make officeholding in the
territories unattractive. In addition
to his salary, the government fur
nishes him a mansion at Juneau, with
heat, light and janitor service free
of charge. Despite these generous
provisions, the governor informed the
committee that to maintain his posi
tion he spent last year $12,430. The
committee refused to allow him an
increase in salary of $3,000 a year on
the rather unusympathetic theory
that a lot of people in the country
are having a harder time to make
both ends meet.
The traveling expenses of the gov
ernor, which are paid by the govern
ment, give the only means of com
paring costs in Alaska with those of
our own state, where the governor
is remunerated at the rate of $6,000
a year. The itemized account of a;
tour of the territory taken by Gov.!
Riggs in the fall of 1918 was before
the committee. Under the head of
“porterage,” on the railroad trip be
tween Cordova and Chitina, the!
governor spent on behailf of the!
government 25 cents, which does not!
appear to be any higher than “por-|
terage” in the states. Supper at
Fairbanks cost $2, and for the fol-!
lowing week breakfasts were charged
at the rate of $1.25 each.
Nothing appears in the expense
account in reference to luncheon
and dinner, but between August 11
end 1/ the government paid for four
baths at 25 cents each. Save for the
very reasonable charge for the baths,;
the committee might be left under the
impression that the Governor
spent the luncheon and dinner hours
under water. When the governor got|
to Nome a few weeks later the price
of baths went up and the high cost!
of living began to get in its work.!
In explaining a charge of $1 for a
bath at Nome the governor puts in
the parenthetical statement. “Could
not get a bath cheaper.” However,
thereafter the price of bathing at
Nome fell 50 per cent, as the items I
indicate that the chief executive was
able to find a place where this necess
ity was dispensed for 50 cents each.
It appears from the account that
one can get a good breakfast at Nome
for $1.75 and sometimes for so little
as 50 cents, but shoe shines cost 25
cents a copy and pressing a suit of
clothes costs $2, which gives the fleet
ing impression of profiteering.
Taking the account as a whole, the
charges in Alaska do not appear to be
much higher than in this state. If
the governor of Alaska runs behind
at the rate of $5,320 a year on a
salary of $7,000, it is easy to see
where the officeholders in the state
of Washington have a hard time to
get along. Doubtless the taxpayers
will hear a good deal about that phase
of officeholding when the next legis
lature meets.—Seattle Post-Intelli
gencer.
VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS
With the beautiful weather of the
past week or so, many young folks
are turning their eyes canneryward.
They are already picturing a summer
to be spent among the fish and
“chickens” in some sheltered hay,
with nothing to do hut . pitch fish,
wrestle cans and juggle salmon cases.
It is surely an ideal life “far from
the noise and turmoil” of the big
cities on the Channel, and from the
conversation heard at the present
time the canneries will be swamped
with labor this year.—Douglas News.
With proven coal fields containing
hundreds of millions of tons, Alaska
is suffering a coal famine and there
is nothing she can do about it, since
a pinheaded paternal government at
j Washington has decreed that Alaska’s
I ccal shall remain in the ground
From the Washington point of view,
all sourdoughs are imbeciles and in
capable of self government. From
the sourdoughs point of view the
Washington politicians are a set of
blithering idiots who know no more
about Alaska and her requirements
than a hen knows about Sunday. And
the sourdough is right.—Hyder Miner.

Family Court to Guard Children of the Rich
Is Now an Imperative Need.
By W. L. BODINE, Chicago Supt. Compulsory Education.
v ^
—
I he tables are turned. Intemperance formerly disrupted the poor
man’s home and his children suffered. If the intemperate scenes that
were enacted in the poor man’s home before prohibition created delin
quents in the tenements, will it not do likewise in the mansions of the
rich. The law has placed the poor man on the water wagon, but the rich
man s cellars are filled with the bottled ghosts of John Barleycorn. The
fast pace of parents means the slow child at school. It is imperative that
a family court be established which will reach beyond the jurisdiction
of the so-called slums “into” houses where the children of the rich need
more attention than the neglected poor.
A family court would awaken parents to their duty to raise good citi
zens instead of bad ones. We need more old-fashione^ spankings.
It has been truthfully said that one good mother is worth a dozen
institutions. If this is supplemented with a good father, it means a con
structive factor at home—and the family court backed by an expansion of
the juvenile court law to awaken parents to their plain duty, would mean
more good fathers, more good mothers, the betterment of the rising gen
• oration and the better nation with the greater nation in the future.
