BIRDS OF PASSAGE
Wo are once again beholding the annual Spring
migration of untold thousands of water fowl, winging
their skyward way from the distant Southlands to the
land of the Midnight Sun.
There is ample justification for this long northward
trek of our feathered friends, for they are but respond
ing to the primal urge that has motivated for centuries
their instinct to return to the summer feeding and nest
ing grounds of their species.
We have witnessed during the past few years, an
other Spring migration from the Southlands, which
seems to be increasing with each passing year. Unfor
tunately those that comprise this contingent are so con
stituted that most of them cannot exist in our section
of the country without engaging in gainful employ
ment.
While it is true that one of Alaska's acutest needs
is population, it is equally true that permanency of pop
ulation cannot result from migratory workers who
come seeking seasonal employment and find none This
is especially true in the Nome and Seward Peninsula
area
Each Spring sees several hundred men poured into
Nome seeking work. Eor most of them there is none,
for the simple reason that jobs have become compara
tively scarcer, and those fortunate enough to have them
remain close to them the year around. There was a
time in years gone by, when the Nome section employ
ed a hundred times our present number of workmen—
but those were the days of the pick and shovel. With*
the advent of large gold dredges, dragline scrapers.
bull-<lozers and modern machine methods, production
may have increased but the number of men employed
is considerably lessened. There is today little, if any,
requirements in the local labor market that cannot be
filled front our own permanent residents
Only last summer close to 100 men were listed
through hv.il ageneios.as without work, without means,
and witU.cut any possibility of securing work.
It would appear that after each year's tragedy, for
that is what it is—hopes blasted, slender means exhaust
ed. far from friends and homo—some method should be
worked out tost p its re ccurrence This can be done,
but equires some < . ed effort • tse most con
cerned Tnoro is no mason why a committee repre

Pacific. Better coast defenses are needed for Puget
Sound. And air protection is vitally needed in this
area for the navy yard at Bremerton.
California also needs air protection.
These projects are not competitive. There should
be safety for the entire Pacific Coast.—Seattle P.-I.
PORTRAIT OF A STATESMAN
Representative Ham Fish, of New York, deposes
that we might help balance the budget by levying a 100
per cent tax on incomes of all Americans who attend
the coronation ceremonies, and another such tax on all
American heiresses who marry foreign fortune-hunters
Which recalls a story told about Statesman Fish and
former Representative Florence Kahn, of California.
‘‘I just saw Ham Fish walking up and down the cor
ridor between the House and Senate wrapped in his
own thoughts',” a fellow-Congressman told Mrs. Kahn.
"Good heavens!” exclaimed the lady from Califor
nia. “He must be naked."—(N. Y. World-Telegram.)
A returned volunteer’s stories of the hardships in
Spain didn’t shock us as much as they might have. It
may be true, as he related, that stewed asses are a fea
ture of many dinners over there, but then, as we under
stand it. they don’t drive their cars home afterward.
—(Boston Herald.)
"Katharine Locke climbed to stage fame by barking
like a dog.” But catty tactics get women nowhere.
Attempt Correct Inadvertent Error
(By The Associated ’"’ress)
WASHINGTON, D. C.. May 18—The House passed
and sent to the Senate a bill correcting what sponsors
described as an inadvertent error of the “Congressional
Act", giving Alaska municipalities authority to incur
bond indebtedness. The Act passed last year would re
quire the approval of sixty-five percent of those voting
on the issue, and Delegate Dimond said it was "virtual
ly impossible to obtain the assent of sixty-five percent
of eligible voters.
