ONLY HOT AIR Those credulous and unsophisticated souls who take the speeches of their senators, congressmen and delegates seriously may have been rudely jarred recently if they read a statement by Senator Glass of Virginia, who said: ‘In all my experience of 28 years in congress, Tve never known a speech to change a vote.” Many of the alleged speeches in the congressional record are just so much hot air, written and sent to the “folks” back “home” but never delivered orally. Aside from a few evceptions—and they are notable ones— the sole aim of senators, congressmen and dele gates is to get reelected. Every utterance and every vote is directed to that end. Therefore, oratory of colleagues does not influence them very much. They are thinking always about what their constituents will say, and vote accordingly, re gardless of anybody’s speech. A Kansas City man declares that the world will come to an end in 1932 One gleam of hope for settling the mus cle shoals dispute. One of these predicters may guess it right in the next couple of thousand years. President Hoover’s strong desire is to abolish pov erty. We are willing to be experimented upon in the in terest of science. A national conference on influenza is proposed. Well, it could at least adopt resolutions and order a quizz. Big bootleggers may apnrove the more severe penal ties on the theory that it will discourage piker competi tion. One surplus President Hoover will not have to deal with is that of political pie.

It was agreed at the meeting that copies of both documents be sent to the individual chambers for ratification with a request that the chambers name men to repre sent them on i,he board of mana gers of the Territorial chamber.: After considerable discussion of ■ he manner in which it would work cut in use. the matter of in- I corporation was brought up and talked over. Most of the delegates flet that they had not sufficient anthoiity to go so far, without re- ’ ferring the matter to their home bodies and they finally reached fiie conclusion that they* would : i submit the question by mail to the | chambers that can be reached in .that manner, and others, as Nome will be consulted by wire. Another question which was brought up and discucsed at length, was the question as to whether the secretary for the or ganization would be a full time secretary or only part time. It was the general feeling that a full time one was needed if the cham oer could manager it financiaiiy. In such a case it was suggested that the secretary also act as in dustrial agent, and assist in bring ing the consumer and producer in i |Alaska, closer together, j The meeting jadjourned until April 9, which, will allow the dele-,; gates time to hear from their re ispective chambers.
