A NOTH ER STR A WM A N
EXPOSED
The statement of Mr. Stannard that
the contract concerning Alaska thru
freight rates about which Senator
Wheeler tried to make a sensation re
lated only to the transportation of,
Mayo ore and the statement of Secre- j
tary Work that it was announced at
the time the contract was entered in
to between the Alaska Railroad and
the Alaska Steamship Company that
the rate was open for any transpor
tation line operating in Alaska, have
unveiled another strawman.
The essence of the charge hurled
by Senator Wheeler was that the Gov
ernment had sought to aid the “Mor
gan-Guggenheim” interests to gain a j
monopoly of Alaska traffic. The state-!
ments of those who know show that j
there was co-operation among trans- i
portation lines to provide a rate that,
would permit the shipping of ore over |
the Government railroad and facili- j
tate mining development, and that the
rate provided no monopoly but was
open to all steamship companies.
So there you are. Another cam
paign issue shot into the air like a
sky-rocket falls a charred stick. — J
Juneau Empire.
LITERACY
There is no doubt that the Literacy
Bill, points out the Sitka Tribune,
will be one of the big questions at
the next Territorial Legislature.
It is remarkable how many people
think that this Bill affects Indians
alone, but returns from former elec
tions and statistic show that whites
also require it.
The Tribune stands firmly for the
Literacy Test. The sooner it be
comes law, the sooner will every il
literate begin to make the effort to
qualify and study to become capable
of exercising his franchine at the
polls to the ultimate benefit of the
Territory and himself.
The charge by LaFollette support
ers that ten million dollars is to be
raised as a slush fund to carry the
election for Coolidge and Dawes is !

not nearly so serious if true, as the
progressives would have the people
believe. It would not give a dollar
a vote if these could be purchased,
and one realizes the enormous ex
penses paid for advertising, speakers,
etc., the remainder would hardly send
a postcard to the male voters of the
country. One hundred millions rais
ed for an election would not be much
of a sum to spend for campaign ex
penses in a country as large as the
United States. Politics are rotten,
but not nearly so bad as the reform
ers would have one believe.
A new fashion paper says that
skirts are to be shorter this winter.
We rise to remark that if they are
their wearers had better keep their
necks clean.
The proposed literacy test is not
aimed against the Indians, as some
papers in the territory allege, but ra
ther would apply to all persons who
cannot read or write, be he white
or native. A law barring the Indian
from voting and allowing illiterate
whites to, would not stand five a
minute if passed. If the law is un
just, as claimed, and deprives citi
zens of their rights, then dozens of
states where such literacy test has
long been a law, are wrong.
