THE PROrOSED WASHINGTON
SCHOOL LAW
A news item states that an initia
tive bill has been tiled at Olympia,
proposing to abolish private schools
in the state of Washington. The
measure is said to have the bathing
of the Ku K'.ux Klan and is dratted
along the lines of the parochial
school hill up last year in Oregon#
Barring all subterfuge, it is simp’y a
light of the Klan waged against cer
tain religious organizations. As we
view the situation it is the result of
fanatics, and if for no other reason
than the fact that it is sponsored by
the Ku Klux Klan should be con
demned. As long as private or paro
i hial schools meet with the prescrib
ed standard set by the state hoard of
education there is no occasion to he
armed, regardless of what religious
denomination may be maintaining the
school.—Friday Harbor Journal.
The proposed law to abolish private
:-chools is a vicious, senseless piece of
Ku Klux legislation aimed at the
Catholics. No sane, tolerant man will
endorse any movement by the Klans.
as they are intended primarily to
awaken religious and race hatred. A
man should he entitled to send his
. hildren to any school he sees fit, so
'ong as he pays his share of maintain
ing the public schools.—Okanogan
Record.
Scratch the pro-ponents of the pro
posed school amendment on the back
and in every case you will find an
anti-Catholic, believer in Klan laws
instead of American laws.—Yakima
Republican.
For fostering strife, religious ha
ired and bunk give us the K. K. K.
Their proposed amendment to the
school laws is as un-American as it is
absurd.—Spokane Cchronicle.
BILL BEFORE CONGRESS HITS
TAX-FREE ISSUES
A bill has been introduced in cong
ress providing for the passage of a
constitutional amendment which
would forbid the issuance of tax-ex
empt securities, such as the countr\
has been flooded with during the pasl
few years. If there is any noticeabk
opposition to the proposal it has not
come to light. President Coolidge is
supporting it; likewise Secretary Mel
Ion, of the treasury department, who
sees a loss of $300,000,000 a year in
taxes escaping his hands, which would
low into the federal coffers through
:he income tax save for the fact tha
these securities are not taxable. From
Washington comes a dispatch estimat
ing that the total of tax-exempt secur
ities already issued at $14,670,000,000
of which $12,309,000,000 is in tlu
hands of the public. The proposed a
mendment would not legally aftec
this stupendous sum which is not pa;
ing taxes to the support of the govern
ment. It would take years to get th<
amendment on the statute books, fo
the reason if congress passes it i
still will have to get the approval o
three-fourths of the state legislatures.
There are many reasons why the a
mendment should be passed and few
why it should not be. So long as tax
free issues are a refuge for the rich,
as at present, the need for a remedy
will exist.
While Governor Scott C. Bone has
failed to piace his name on the ballot
as a candidate lor people’s choice for
governor, few Alaskans who have
met the distinguished executive have
any complaint to make against his
administration. Gov. Bone will prob
ably be governor as long as he desires
the office, anti knowing this, has kept
out of the Rustgard-Wickersham
Frame enibroglio.
The declaration by Anchorage citi
zens that they will patronize only
the Admiral Line and Evan Jones
freighter sounds like the resolution
of the SmartviHe council when the U.
i\ thru trains refused to stop at the
tank-town. They resolved not to roat
ronize the railway—unless they could
get a train to stop long enough to
get aboard,—and it pretty near went
out of business.
The men who are hollering the
loudest against none but Alaskans
holding the office of governor are the
ones who in pre vious years have done
the most to discredit Alaska.
Somehow or another no one appears
to want Delegate Sutherland’s job.
Running against Dan is like spitting
to windward; you only hurt yourself.
A city election for Seward is on the
way and already political rumblings
are in the air. Politics and cliques
have killed more small towns than
lack of population.
KOSLOSKY WINS OUT
IN CANNED GOODS SALE
I. Koslosky, of Anchorage, who re
cently purchased the large stock ot
army goods from the quartermaster
department at Anchorage, found his
way beset by many obstacles when
he attempted to place the goods on
j the market. The merchants of the
city complained to the council that
the goods were condemned and a com
mittee which investigated them found
they were packed in 1920 and 1921 and
consequently wTere fresher than somf
of the other stocks in the city. Con
sequently Mr. Koslosky has started
: his sale at a fifty per cent reductior
in price.
NO LAND OFFICE FOR JUNEAU

in Juneau without it being an act o

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 28.—Old
Father Time is in for a rough session
and the phrase "over the hills to the
j poor house,” may be changeed to “over
the hills to health, hope and happi
ness ” following the announcement
made by surgeons of a large number
of gland operations at the San I1 ran
| cisco Relief Home, the city’s poor
house. Charles E. Woolenberg, sup
erintendent declared today that a ser
ies of gland experiments started three
months ago hail proved successful,
making dreams come true and bring
ing new ambition and life to a large
number of patients.
While superintendent Wollenberg
and the physicians who performed the
! operations are not reared, they said,
at this time to make extravagant
statements concerning rejuvination
through gland transportation, positive
cures for a number of diseases, includ
ing asthma, recovery from paralyzed
hands and feet and the bringing of a
new mental attitude—a new vista of
life—the making of useful, happy bus
iness men and woman from morose,
helpless, dependent persons, are the
astounding results of the work of the
San Francisco Poorhouse.
NEVER WASTE LOVE ON A
BULL MOOSE NAMED MAUDE
A young cheechaco prospector who
| lives not a thousand miles from Sew
: ard caught a baby moose last spring
which he believed to be the female of
the species he named it Maude. All
went well until last fall, the young
ster thriving and receiving the love
lavished on it with much appreciation
and affection. Last fall, so the stoiy
i i goes, Maude started to growing horns
. and an ugly disposition. One night
, when the master returned home tired
[ and worn out from a hard day in the
• hills, Maude tucked her head down,
ruffled up the hair on her neck, and
charged her kind but mistaken mas
ter. The cheechaco climbed up on
j his cabin roof, and Maude charged
| around and made a plumb fool of her
I self until one of the neighbors came
by and made a good moose out of a
bad one. And now Henry says he
will waste no affection on a bull
moose named Maude.
JERRY ALLEN HAS QUIT AR
MY AFTER 30-YEAR SERVICE
Having completed thirty years in
the service of Uncle Sam, Jerry T.
Allen first sergeant was retired from
active service last week at the U. S
Army Post in Anchorage. Up to the
time of his retirement he was post
i exchange steward. He leaves a very
! fine record in the army. Every one
; of his discharges being excellent anc
his service fulfilled honestly anc
faithfully.
‘ Upon receiving his discharge yes
terday Allen was presented by th(
men of the post with a beautiful nug

since 1921, coming here from Valdez1
just before that Army post was aban-,
doned by the Government. He had!
been stationed at the Valdez post
since 1904. In his thirty years of ser
vice with the army, he had some for- j
eign service which counted as uouble
lime.
Jerry, as he is better known to his
many friends in Anchorage, is a dis j
tinguished marksman of extraordinary
ability. In his younger days, not so
very long ago, he was an athlete, skill
ed far above the common, having
come within half an inch of the
world’s record in high kicking. In
Anchorage he has been prominent in
local sports, particularly in baseball.
Last season he was the popular mana
ger of the scrappy Soldier baseball
nine.
Civilian Allen left for the East on
a visit but is returning to Anchorage
and will make his future home there.
.Mrs. Allen and Jerry Jr., will not
accompany Mr. Allen to the States.
Just what line of business he will en-!
gage in when he returns from the
East, Mr. Allen has not yet decided.
As he is the owner of some splendid
Anchorage real estate and residences,
it is possible he will enter the realty
field.
DEER FOR MONTAGUE
E. M. Goddard, game warden of Sit-1
ka, brought up ten deer on the freigh
ter Cordova, which were turned loose
on Montague island. Another ship
ment of deer will be made later in the
season to Kayak island. Mr. Goddard
is a son of Dr. Goddard of the Hot
Springs sanitarium.
The Alaska snowbird is an unfailing
weather barometer, according to trap
pers and prospectors from the inte
rior. In fine weather the bird flies
around singly or in pairs, but when a
blizzard is due these birds flock up in
great numbers, swooping here and
there, emitting a single note. When
they light on the snow at these times j
they form compact bunches of feath
ers, with the weaker and older birds
in the center, sentries are stationed
several yards away from the main
flock to warn the birds of the ap
proach of enemies. The Arctic explo
rer watches the birds and when they
begin to go in flocks looks for a heavy
blizzard.
