Address by Governor
Governor Bono pressed hts Interest ■
in education and the educational sys
tems of Alaska, In pari, as follows:
Governor 1 am, of course, j
deeply interested in every phase of
the development of Alaska. My
faith In the future of Alaska is adu-j
inant and abiding. If 1 'have a paru-j
mount Interest. it is in the school ,
system of Alaska and the steady bet-;
terment of that system. In my mes
sage to the Legislature I endeavored
to emphasize that interest and to be-'
speak the 'pride which Alaska prop
erly feels In ita school system
"The Territory, considering its in
fancy and tho difficulties encountered,
as a result of its magnitude and d-is-t
tanccs, has made a remarkably fine
record in the development of its
school system. Legislatures without
exception have been far-sighted in
providing for educational needs. 1
fully believe that public money in
vested In public schools yields larg
er dividends than any other appro
priation. Schools are the prere- ,
qutsite of development. Schools,,
moan homes. Camps and temporary ,
halBltats are naturally created in eon
uectloo with industry, but permanenti
communities are timpossible without p
schools. Alaska has a less number!
of poople than lit had 10 or 20 years i ■
ago, but there Is a permanency to:
Alaska's population never In evidence,
before. And this permanency must.
unquestionably be ascribed. In large
measure, If not wholly, to the estab-j
Ushmenit of an excellent school sys '
tem.
Keep Out of Politics
“I have heretofore said anJ takej.
this opportunity to repeat that the (
school system of Alaska must ever ,
be kept out of politics. This is sojj
obviouB that, 1 am sure, it requires j f
no second thought on the part of any j r
right-thinking man or woman who j,
truly has Alaska’s welfare at heart, j
"I am deeply Interested In th" f
success of the first Institution of: ^
higher and technical learning estab j,
Ms bed in Alaska—the Agricultural, ,
College and School of Mines at Pair
banks. It marks an epoch and pro
claim* progress. It was established
none too soon. I pay my tribute to |
those who convolved the idea of •
such a college and have the utmost
confidence that its growth and use-;
fulness will demonstrate the wisdom j
of all who have had a part in its ,
foundation.
‘*1 want to soo tho Agricultural
College and School of Mines thor
< uglily ildentltled with the Territory
at large. It is Ideally located and ,
should never lu any respect or in any
aspect have the form or character of ,
a local or sectional Institution. The
whole of Alaska should be actively
and heartily concerned In Us growth
and success.
*‘Jn conclusion a passing word of
praiae Is due Commissioner Hender i
son for bis official part in connection
with the schools of Alaska. Since
1 became Governor I have been
brought Into close contact with his,
work. Thorefore. 1 am able to ap-1
praise It. I am mindful from ex
perience of the difficulties constantly
besetting him and of his resource
fulness in overcoming such difficul
ties. He has rendered a splendid
public service and this fact is appre
ciated throughout Alaska ”

Senate Refuses Concur
In House Amendment
To Women’s Jury Bill
The Senate yesterday refused
to concur in tin House’s uai.nul
ment to Senator Brown's bill
extending jury duly to women
and the Houoo as promptly re
fused to recede from its am ?ad
ment. Conference committees
from both branches were ap
pointed and will meet today.
As the bill as returned from
the lower House is so radically
different from the original bill,
it is/not expected that any
agreement will be reached by
the conferees. The matter will
probably go .to free conference
and predictions are made that it
will be found impossible to
reach an agreement.
Mr. Brown's bill, in its original
form and as it passed 'the Sen
ate, extended jury duty to
women but allowei them to
claim sex as an exemption,
j The House struck out the sex
exemption clause.

VITAL CHANGES
| MADE IN HOUSE
PAYMENTS BILL
i Amendments Adopted by
Senate Requiring Regular
Pay Days by Canneries.
From a bill requiring payment
of employees in money of the t’nited
States or checks redeemable therein
at the noarost bank in the Terri
I tory, House Bill No. 23, was this
I morning transformed into a measure
I requiring monthly paydays to all
| cannery workers by amendments of
I fared by Senator Aldrich and adopt
ed by the Senate. A further amend
ment was adopted deferring the ef
j fectiveness of the bill, if passed,
| until January 1. 1924 jn order that
it might not work hardships on the
canners during the present season.
Before the amendments of Senator
Aldrich were adopted Senator Ui
niond explained that he believed the
bill stood a chance of being uncott
stitution; that while the Legislature
might enact a bill covering all
classes of labor requiring regular
stated paydays, It was doubtful if
It could do so in any particular
Industry and exclude all others. Ho
added he would not oppose further
the amendments if the Senate de
sired to adopt them after that ex
planation.
Thtf bill, which is House Bill No.
23, was passed to its third reading.
Cc-opeiative Mine Inspectim.
Senator Ayer’s bill providing for
co-operative mine inspection by the
Territory and the Federal Govern
ment and suspending for two years
the Territorial mine Inspection law.
was strongly supported in its second
reading today when it passed. Sen
ators Ayer, Dunn, Chamberlin,
Snodgrass and Dimcnd spoke for it
as a measure that would add to
'he efficiency of mine inspection
and be productive of economy sav
ing several thousand dollars to the
Territory during the biennium. It
will, also, said Mr. Ayer, give the
Territory the services of live experts
at a leaver cost than It could provide
for the services of a single man
under the independent system.
Senator Aldrich expressed un
alterable opposition to tile bill which
! he rlenouncert as a measure for
| bureaucracy and in opposition to
the principles of full Territorial j
| olfHgovcniment. Mr. Dunn deniedj
i that such an issue entered into the,
; matter which he said was merely a
question of efficiency and economy,
j The bill passed its second reading
! with every indication that it would
I pass the Senate without diftculty.
Resolution Continued.
; Senate Joint Resolution No. 2,
authorizing the Attorney General to
I attack in the courts tlie validity of
It ho creation of fish reserves and
empowering him to defend any in
! dividual or corporation violating the
rules and regulations of the Bureau
of Fisliet ias, caused a brief tilt be
tween Senators Ayes and Aldrich.
The former declared that he and
other members would like to study
, the resolution tpere closely and
, ur.ked that it be referred to the
Committee on Taxation. Mr. Aldrich
'objected to it being returned to
| committee. Mr. Ayer then request
oil it be continued on the calendar
in second reading whtph was done.
House Bill No. 13, relative to
filing fees of corporations, was laid
on tlie table subject to call to
! await tha action of the House on a
new measure on the same subject
which was introduced there today
; by Mr. Daly.
Senate Bill No. 90, making the
■ regular nominee! of each political
party for Delegate to Congress also

Continue Pension Bill.
The Shepard petition bill, sched
uled to cento up in second reading
I in the Scfiate today, was continued
[until tomorrow at tile request of
Senator Aldrich, who said he desired
to withdraw a similar measure in
troduced by hint early in the ses
sion, and also the bill introduced
by him for a home at Skaepway for
pioneer women. The latter measure,
Senate Bill No. 49, w'htch was
tabled sometime ago by the Senate,
was taken from the table today
and placed on 4he calendar for to
morrow after a motion had been de
feated to indefinitely postpone it.
House BUT No. 18. advancing the
date for filing of candidates for
primary elections, was passed to its
third reading by the Senate.
Consideration of Senate Bill No. j
3, the proposed municipal code, wasj
resumed this afternoon in the upper
Hciiee.
The Senare touay received a pro
test from the Wrangell Chamber of:
Commerce against the proposed can-j
nery and herring taxes, which it de
clared were unwise and likely to
materially injure both industries
and seriously affect the revenues
of the Territory.
Four new bills were introduced,
today in the Senate, No. 96, by
Mr. Chamberlin, providing for the
relief of Lawrence DeWitt in the
amount of $125 for taxes erron
eously paid; No. 97, by Mr. Snod
grass, amending Chapter 55, Laws
of 1919, relative tc the Importation
of diseased livestock into the Ter
ritory, making it more stringent;
No. 98, by Mr. Dintond by request,
for an act providing for the regu
lation of chiropractors, creating a
Territorial Board of Chiropractors,'
etc.; No. 99, by Mr. Dimond, for an
act to provide for the creation of a
corporation sole, defining the pow
ets thereof and for other matters
relating to such corporations.

“What wont wrong today?"
No use quarreling with friend

That's the reason -the bill col

But so ifar as can be learned
the "alleged" hoodoo of Friday
the 13th has been conspicuous in
Jurteju by its absence today.
Tho dawn came as usual this
morning; lunch was served at
noon, and aside from the fact
there has been Utile rain the
hours have passed much as any

Cable Is Again
In Working Order;
Down Many Weeks
At 10:27 o’clock this forenoon cubic*
connection was again restored with ]
the outside world. The repairing of
the breaks ihas taken several days on |
account of stormy weather. One
break, that of the cable between
Sitka and Petersburg, was repaired
by the cabteship Dellwood three daysi
ago. That cable has been out of
commission hince February 5. The
Petersburg-Juneau cable, repaired
this morning, has been out of com
mission since March 5.
-During the breaks the commercial1
and press matter has been creditably
handled between Sitka and the local
radio station and then transferred
from tihe later to the cable office
statii n. The wireless force has been
augmented by the cable operators
and the service has been kept up
