DISARM THE ALIENS
At Valdez this week the Grand
Jury in its final report to Judge E. E.
Ritchie declared.
* * We believe that many 01 the
crimes committed in the Bristol Bay
district is due to permitting Orientals
(aliens) to have firearms which they
use upon slight provocation, resulting
in murder, assault and other crimes.”
This practice of permitting cannery
crews, particularly the alien members
to promiscuously bring firearms into
the Territory is a source of grave
danger to the officials and to citizens,
and results in many murders being
committed, in districts where the law
is not represented in the person of a
deputy marshal.
These aliens not only use theli
weapons promiscuously upon each
other, but slaughter game indiscrimi
nately, and at a time when it should
be protected. They kill thousands of
ducks, geese, caribou and bears, and
leave the country barren o*f game be
hind them.
There are two remedies proposed to
stop the carrying of arms by others
than citizens of Alaska. One is the
licensing of all firearms, and a rigid
enforcement of the law by wardens.^
as is done in the States and in Brit
ish Columbia, where the carrying of
arms by Chinese, Hindus and Japa
nese became a menace. The other is
to pass a law prohibiting the owning
or having in their possession, any
firearms or ammunition for same, by
any alien. Exceptions could be made
in this case, allowing any alien who
had been a year or more in the Ter
ritory, to carry arms by securing two
citizens whose names were on the tax
roll to go his bond. The latter is the
Florida law to keep weapons out of
the hands of irresponsible negroes.
SMI SCHOOL HOTES
Capt. Dancey, Americanization offi
cer of the American Legion, gave the
school a very interesting address last
week. His talk, while given for the
purpose of showing pupils their du
ties in the years to come, was so full
of humorous anecdotes and incidents
that it was enjoyed very much.
Capt. Dancey has promised to tell
the school of his escape from Ger
many during the war, if he has time
on his return from Fairbanks.
The pupils of the Seward School to
show Capt. Dancey their appreciation
wrote him a letter of thanks.
Clara Manthev, log keeper, has
started her official duties of record
ing the big events of the year.
The lower grades hold assemblies
for (he first fifteen minutes each morn
ing on the first four days of the week.
The High School holds their assem
bly every Friday morning. At these
assemblies singing as yet is the chief
source of amusement. Soon the school
is going to start the plan carried out
last year, that of letting each room, in
turn, give a program each Friday.
The school is indebted to the cham
ber of commerce for the presentation
of a picture of the late President
Harding and to the American Legion
for the presentation of a frame for a
picture of Ex-President Roosevelt.
The school will soon be working on
the annual American Legion essay.
The Junior and Senior classes have al
ready started to look for material for
the essay contest.
This year’s title is, “Why Ameri
ca Should Prohibit Immigration for a
period of Five Years.” The topic is
a very interesting one and is the
same one that the High School held
their chief debate on last year.

CAN SEWARD PROSPER UNDtR
HIGH LIGHT RATES?
There is no question but that high
rates on power and light were one of
the causes for the Alaska Railroad
Shops being removed to Anchorage.
One of the reasons for the Carstens
Packing Company closing its place oi
business in Seward was the high cost
of light and power.
Lack oi sufficient power was the
main reason why the Alaska Motion
Picture Corporation did not build its
1 studio in Seward.
Shall the prosperity and growth ol
Seward be further retarded? The only
preventive is a municipal light plant.

A Public Service Corporation
The Seward Light & Power Com
pany has refused telephones and
lights to many home owners in Sew
, ard by refusing to extend their lines.
In many instances the extension re
quired is very slight. Mr. Taxpayer,
do you think this is the proper action
for a public service corporation?
Public Servant Displeased
- The Honorable Judge Curtis R. Mor
ford in a published statement says he
. was very much displeased at the ac
( tion of the Better Seward Committee
, in using a letter from one public of
ficial to another without his consent.
The Judge should remember he is a
public servant and as such should as
sist in every movement for the bet
terment of Se-ward instead of endeav
oring to suppress information of val
ue to the people. The letter referred
to was presented to the council meet
ing, September 5, 1922, by Judge
Morford and became a public record
and the subject of action by the City
: Council. It was moved by Council
i man Ellsworth and seconded by
Councilman Adelman that the Clerk
, write Mr. Henderson informing him

him a copy of the ordinances. The
motion was carried.
Judge Morford in his budget for the
1923 school year asked for $549.80
for lights. We have been unable to
find out what the 80 cents was for.
We believe Judge Morford is assum
ing the wrong attitude for a publ/c of
ficial in blaming taxpayers and citi
zens for making use of papers that are
intended for public information.
