It is not humai but divine origin she cherishes No purpose save to merit favoi of Almighty Loti.” In his address, Presiden' Coolidge used frequent gestures and spoke swifter than habit uallv. He wore horn rimmec glasses. The President fairly shouted when he said “I favoi economy not because 1 wish money but the wish of the people.” This declaration brought forth long applause and again when he made utterances on the party regularity, mili tary defense and Americanism, further applause was given.

G. J. Truitt, Basin Roatl, \ ■ 'SHORT MESSAGE IS IMPRESSIVE: NEEDS ARE FEW ■ Gov. Bone Delivers Biennial Message to Seventh Al aska Legislature. (Continued from Page One.) ’resident Ayer and Speaker Wilcox, lie introductory ceremonies were j brief, consisting merely of an invo eilion by Rev. (i. <;. Hruco, Chaplain I )f (lie Senate. Following liis presentation to the legislature and the audience by Pres j tent Ayer. Oov. Bone was again greeted with applause. Almost wtlh I lit proltmlnuy. except to extend tile services of his office to the legis j uors, lto plunged Into liis message which h" read from prepurod maim nipt. On a few oeeasions he di gn used inonu ntarily from the print ' il text. The first interpolation came I .s lie i iiiilrasled (be complex gov . rnnuntal lfuicliiney of nation and ■ Slates. compured to these, lie de larcd. "Alaska has a simple, model I form of administrative machinery.’ | The next was in connection with II pensions, “i wish you to mark this 11 well, (Tenth-men," lie said. "I-Tvcry ! iollnr appropriated for pensions has men receiveu by those for whom it appropriated, not a single penny . icing expended for administration.' • gain he departed from liis pro pared address us he spoke of the Alaska College, "I feel a special pride n this growing institution at Fair lacks and tlm time is to come when will be the pride of every citizen 1 if this Northland." Spirit of Fairness. The last departure from the man uscript was in connection with his emphatic declaration for a literacy qualification for voters. He said such legislrtion was sought and hould lie enacted In "absolute fair uess." Resting his manuscript on he desk before him. lie looked down at the members of the Legislature and repeated slowly, “I wish to em- 1 ■phasize this. Absolute fairness'," The (iovernor spoke slowly and : with clear enuciation, being easily1 j heard in all ports of (he hall. Al- 1 j though tlte message was short, ex-|' jactly I’ll minutes were consumed in j 1 its delivery, 'I Vote of Thanks. At its conclusion a resolution, of- s feted by Senator Dimoml, was adopt- v ed extending to (lov. Bone a vote of e thanks for hts kindly tuessa^i and h for the many courtesies he ami his office had shown the Legislature. When the session adjourned, all if the members greeted the Gover nor personally and complimented him highly on his message. Gov. Bone opened It is message with a plea for economy which he declared is the "watchword of the nation.” Super organization pro ductive of expensive administration has led to extravagances resulting in overtaxation in the natioh and. States. Alaska is happily, he said, j free in a remarkable measure from 1 this widespread evil. Past Legisla- 1 tures have profited liy the exper ience In the States and the Terri-1 tory "should further profit by it i and continue to build Itself aright.”i Quoting from his message of two, years ago, he continued: "A multl-v plicity of laws tends to retard rath er than advance progress and devel- ] epment. Simplicity of legislation : ind simplicity of Administration | are equally important and mutually conducive to good government." Might Repeal Some Laws. While the statutes of the Terri tory are not overburned, ho said they might well be relieved of some acts serving "no good purpose." “If this Legislature enacted no new 'aws, but confine its labors to the' appropriations and the strengthen ing of needed laws and the elimina tion of dead letter enactments, It would render the best possible serv ice," he asserted. Money Paramount Need. The Governor drove home the fact that money for industrial de velopment is the most Imperative need of the Territory. "Alaska needs capital and people. It must have both, if It would go forward and make the most of Its resources and opportunities. * • » Kvery true Al askan realises tile fact. Capital means population. The one follows the other. Therefore, Alaska must be made Inviting to capital. Other wise It will not risk the natural hazards of investment so far away. Imposition of taxes beyond the re quirements of the Territory and based wholly upon ability to pay is i clearly unwise public polioy and not j conducive to growth and develop- j rnent." ■ . Strikes Responsive Chord. Of even more significance was ; lev. Bone's short but striking com- j uent on the need for a literate clti- j lenebip and voting list. It came i tear the end of his address and ap- i tarently sounded a note that cap- j ivated most of his audience and a i arge portion of the members of the : .egislature. Knowing that, thja ha* been made i n issue not only in the First Di- [ ision bnt ail over Alaska, the Gov- £ rnor did not mince words in deal- 5 tg with the subject, He declared:I" Weather Conditions As Rscorded by the U.

Education Is its base. Ability to read and "Write should be made the esderiUul pre-requisite of the franchise'. Otherwise it be comes a mockery and a travesty. To protect the purity of the ballot an educational tjfialificutlon test is imperative. Therefore, this Legis lature should amend and strengthen the election laws by adding a quali fication clause, applicable alike to all voters regat-dless of previous condition. In so legislating in a spirit of absolhte fairness Alaska will have made no departure from established preie'dfenL but will emu late progressive' cothmonwealths." Federally Coritr'olled Fisheries.
