SENATE MIGHT ELECT
PRESIDENT.
While iXhas never oeurred In the United States
tne poeaibility. fi-, not io remote as the bare statement
of tho proportion would teem that this present
Senate may elcX the next President.
The Court ituVon cf the United States provides
that if no eandiiKie for President shall receive a
majority (r.ot u plurality) in the Electoral College
t her tin election . hpll be made by the House of
I'.epicrcntativcs which\is required to choose one of
the three candidates receiving the highest number
cf ii tea in the Electoral tyllcge, It provides, further,
that in such a care, each Svato shall cast one vote to
be determined by the majority of the State’s delega
tion in the National House of Representatives. There
is a still further provision that in case the House is
unable to choose a President in this manner, through
the continuation of the deadlock, then the Vice
krei ldi nt Elect shall become the President and be in
t ttgurnted.
hi the event of no candidate receiving a clear
majors,!y j„ uic Electoral College for Vice-President
the Coustitution provides that tho United States
Senate eVplI (lect a Vice-President.
Now to the possibilities. Should there bo
Democratlc.\Jtepublican and Third Party candidates
for Pi esidt nh._ particularly should tho Third Party
candidate be fV^nry Herd -there is a possibility that
rone of the candyigtes would receive a clear majority
in the Electoral NjkJlcgo. In tliut event the elec
tion would go to thV Ilou. e of Representatives. There
we find that the jonfl 0j twenty-three States
have Republican mnjoritw twenty States have Deino
i cratic majorities and (tv; States liave delegations
equally divided between Mle Democrats and Re
publicans. v
Of c(.ur:e it could be possi<0 that a Vice-Presi
dent would be elected by tho Doctoral College and
a President not. but usually the party candidates for
President and Vice-President receive the same number
of-Votes, and the chances are that if there should bo
a deadlock over the Presidency tlicr, would also be
one oyer the Vice-Presidency. J„ the event of such
a deadlock, it would devolve or the Senate to choose
ho Vice-President. Then, if the House should fail
at lect a I resident, us It would if all the members
'oted on all the ballots according to their poitical
affiliation.., the man elected Vice-President would be
the President of the United State*.
This leads us to another possibility. Should lve
have a Third Party cf sufficient proportions to dead
lock an election In the Electoral College it is not!
inly po.'sible, but piobablo. that several Senators
now listed as Republicans or Democrats would be-!
ttould the present Senate be able to cast a majoritv

for any July since 1919 when prices were much
higher than now.
WHERE IS ALASKA?
While President Harding was in Sitka,
lie met and shook hands with a number of
old timers who witnessed the transfer of
Alaska from Russia to the United States,
tifty-fivo years ago. * * *
At this time there was no town In
Alaska aave Sitka, and a few small camps
in Southeastern Alaska.— (Seward Gateway.)
And yet we occasionally hear a eheechako say,
“the First Division is not in Alaska; Alaska is in
the great. Interior”-—or the Westward, or out toward
the Arctic, or wherever the garrulous checchako
I might hail from.
Of course sourdoughs know, and cheechakos will
all find out In time, thut it takes all sections of the
Territory to make Alaska.
The suggestion that the declaration of President
Harding that the ' panhandle” and some of the ad
jacent territory in the southeastern corner of Alaska
should soon be erected into a State should be accepted
as an invitation to organize for the cretion of such
a Stale is worthy of consideration.
We reckon this evolution stuff must have
stalled when Adam, in a moment of irrita
tion, eald to Eve: "You’ve made a monkey
out of me.”—Cincinnati Enquifor.)
And the row over it is still furious.

Alaska’s Greatest Value Is in Forests.
(Seattle Times.)
Alaska ultimately can feed all Its people, but Its
i greatest wealth in soil pioducts lies in the vast
| forests which contain many million cords of pulp
I making wood, Secretary of Agriculture Henry C.
j Wallace said in summarizing his impressions of the
i Territory.
The National Forests, Secretray Wallace esti
j mates, contain at least 100,000,000 cords of paper
j making woods chiefly spruce and hemlock. Under a
111forestation program which has been mapped out,
|the Secretary believes, the supple will be Inex
haustible and sufficient to produce pulp for 1,000,000
I tons of paper annually, one-third the newsprint
| now consumed in the United States.
Alaska’s paper-making industry some day it Is
I confidently predicted, will be as extensive as that of
Sweden and Norway and us permanent as it is in
those countries.
The pulp timber blocked out is clcse to the coast
and there are numerous deep water harbors which
I will simplify the landing of plant materials and
machinety and the ultimate shipping of the finished
product.
Water power abounds in the pulp forest dlsrticts,
Forest Service engineers have found, according to
Secretary Wallace. In eight years forty-four power
sites with a potential capacity of 400,000 horsepower,
have been located. The cost of development is said
to range trom $40 to $110 a horsepower with $60
as the uverage
A total of 750,000 acres of forest land has been
blocked out for pulp making purposes and the timber
on four areas, cacli capable of supplying pulp mills
of 100 to 200 tons daily capacity, has been advertised
(or sale. There is nearly five billion board feet of
timber in these areas.
Secretary Wallace has been impressed with the
fertility of Alaska soil and firmly believes the Ter
ritory eventually will raise enough food to supports
Us entire popuation, but he will not advise farmers
to go north now, ho says, as the market for prod
uce is limited. Farming, in the larger aspects, the
head of the Department of Agriculture points out,
is still in the experimental stage.
In ills visits to Government experimental stations.
Secretary V\ allace said, lie learned of many instances
where his department can be more helpful In devel
opment work than it hu3 been in the past, par
ticularly in the growing of grain crops. He does
not contemplate any immediate changes In admin
istration methods, however, he said.
Alaska s early agricultural development, it Is
f.nlntcd out, depends In large measure on the suc
cc, of the fisheries conservation program and exten
sion of mining operations, which would result In
incuasing tho market lor farm produce. Permanent
agricultural advancement, Mr. Wallace believes, can
come only under "economic pressure" and cannot be
‘forced.”
Virtually all of the grain grown in Alaska is i
he n unana Valley, of which Fairbanks is the centi
u d where there iB a flour mill which can grind a
he wheat raised. This mill has been and will cot
intio to he a big factor in the development of cerei
1 ops. according to f'fecnetary Wallace.
.Many of the farmers In Alaska today are formi
proi'pectors, a number unmarried, and the Secretai
1 Agriculture beli.cveei the majority of them wou
orsak'' their farms for new gold fleldR at any tint
! though he predicts tho development of a permanei
agricultural popiilation.
Some of the difficulties the Northland's farme
race, Mr. Wallace has found, are the cost of clea
mg land, estimated at approximately $160 an ac
it many places; short growing season, compensati
or in some measure by long hours of daylight; ear

That Annual Vacation Trip
Oh, every year before I start,

And then when l get home I'm sure;
That I was crazy, Bo, to go.
Observation^ of Oldest Inhabitant

Boy, Bring a Hero Medal
The one-armed man and the fresh
young bird were occupying the same
seat in the day coach. The conversa
tion started when the young man
asked:
"Did you lone your wing in the
Civil War?" * ‘
"No," replied the old man. T lost
it in a sawmill. I wasn't In the Civil
War, though I was in a war that
lusted 15 years, and it wns one in
which the fighting raged day and
night for the whole 15 years.”
"Zat so? What war was that?" In
quired the youth.
"Matrimonial,” sighed the old man.

The divorce record gives one the

Listening to the voice of conscience
may keep a fellow straight, but a

A lot of men i^rovef' too late that J
it is just ns important to find out
whether two can live as peacefully
as one, as It Is to find if two can
live as cheaply as one.
There may bt: exceptions to the
rule, but usually a short courtship
means a short married life.

their mother’s command not to go I

Contrary to the usual belief, the!
man always gets the last word—his i
wife gives it to him.
A lot of religious people would I
have a heap more influence in the
world if folks only would judge them
by their professions instead of by
their fruits.
It will take more than new stylos
In engagement and wedding rings to
Improve the old-fashioned Ideas of
