In this attitude looms the passing of a political pigskin that has been punted all over the Territory since 1920. Likewise a long step has been taken in the direction : of Territorial control of such matters as the fisheries, in that the legislature will have an opportunity to demon strate conclusively if its office is capable of administer-' ing the resource, which everyone but the delegate appar antly believes it is. " | The opportunity presents itself to demonstrate whether or not the canning industry is to serve as a polit- j ical big Bertha or is a question to be handled on its merits ;1 with everybody given due consideration, instead, as for- S’ merly, a subject for legislation reprisals. At the worst, a splendid neutral ground has been es- ] tablished whereon the contention between the delegate ] and the fisheries may be shelved and an entirely new : approachment be had. The conference and findings of the commissioner of j fisheries and the legislature will reveal the true state of 1 affairs, and how well the legislators play their parts will j determine the justice of the demand for turning the fish- , eries over to the Territory. It is a time-honored maxim i with the bureaus that Alaskans do not disclose what they ' desire. Here is an opportunity to show them. Wise farmers will not allow that special farm relief 1 session of congress to interfere too much with their spring : planting. j* They claim Edison invented the talking machine. s Well, Adam and Eve might have left something reminis- , cent of the smart saying of little Eva. Even in times of peace patriotic citizens can always - join the army of boosters for Alaska. This army is com- !* manded by General Interest, and it promotes Major Good. President Hoover’s official cabinet makers may now j check up their scores. " , After wrestling with the Einstein formulae, the in come tax blank appears as simple as A B C.
