THE old, and yet unique, practical
form of government will be fol

Two representatives, a boy and a girl,
have been selected from each registra
tion room. When all the room rep
resentatives meet the group is known
as the Commerce council, while the
entire student body, together with
principal and faculty, is called the
Commerce commune.
Those selected as room represent
atives are as follows: Charles Lundy,
Pearl Messner, Chester Mills, .Marion

affairs.
At a special assembly, held on Fri
day, September 24, Miss Lillian Petke
was awarded the Remington gold
medal. While only 55 words are re
quired per minute. Miss Petke fin
ished with an average of 56 words
per minute net. Miss Petke, who is
a fifth-termer, has the honor be
ing the winner of the fourth gold
medal won in the school. The first
was won by Arline Harriott, the sec
ond by Lynr.e Pickler, and the third
by Anna Westbrook.
-Preparations
are well under way
for the semi-annual freshman frolic
which will be given sometime this
month. As heretofore, the frolic will
be given under the auspices of the
Tri-L society. This year, however, the
mothers will receive a special invita
tion to the frolic and will thereby
have opportunity to become acquainted
with the school and members of the
faculty.
Upon examination of the question
naires, recently issued to Commerce
girls, it was found that approxi
mately 25 per cent of the girls in the
school are working after school hours.
Some of these are engaged in house
work, others in clerking, and others
in general office work.
Miss Anna Davis, a well-known
teaoher of Gregg shorthand, in Chi
cago, has been visiting in Portland
and last week made several visits to
the school. She attended several of
the sessions in the Pitman shorthand
classes.
Miss Harriet Wilson, who was
elected representative to the giils'
conference for 1920, held at Eugene
last June, gave her report at a recent
Tri-L meeting. She brought back many

to Increase and extend its power.
Besides, a number of them exercise
authority over the same subject mat

laws in direct conflict. Indeed, these
separate governments harmonize upon
only a single point the maintenance
of bureaucratic authority with a view
to the perpetuation of the individual
and collective political Jobs held by
virtue of that authority.
The resultant, if not the inevitable,
consequence of this multifarious and
ceaseless official activity has been to
render the private citizen of Alaska a
negligible quantity from the official
viewpoint. It would be inaccurate to
say the Alaskan's rights- of citizen

these many bureaucratic govern

of verisimilitude to official pro

THE Benson Technical football
team, under Coach George Phil
brook, is rapidly assuming the pro
portions of a winning squad. The
weather has been unfavorable, but
owing to a grass-covered field the
men have been able to get their
nightly practice, so that the opening
game will find them in good condi
tion. Over four squads are out, so
that the coach has ample material
from which to pick his team. A num
ber of new men have done exception
ally well in the practice and there are
enough letter men tio complete a
squad, but they will hlive strong op
position for the positions in such men
as Cover, Fyack, Fairman, Jones, Lee,
Mathewson, Peters, Sergeant, Thomas.

Mr. Roy Stephens haa been assigned
to the electrical theory laboratory to
assist Dr. Wilder in the management
of the fourth-term science classes.
The Heeneekis club has held its
regular term election with the fol
lowing results: President, Herbert
Zenger; vice - .president, Forrest
Holmes; secretary, CarejP Beam; treas
urer, Cecil Harnack; historian, Paul
Walker; sergeant-at-arms, Harry Ma

The second issue of the Tech Pep
came out Tuesday afternoon. There
will be a number of new departments,
including "Klaghorn's Kolumn," by
Stephen Claghorn, and "Kafeteria
Krumba," by Herbert Zenger. This
edition was free. Glenn Fairfax has
been appointed business manager and
Erb Gurney is one of his assistants.
At the last meeting of the executive
committee Harold Gearin was selected
to manage this season's wrestling
team. About 30 men are out, includ
ing these fine little men: Harry Har

Horn and J. Bryan. Benson is one of
the few schools that has been able to
"put over" a successful wrestling
team.
Fine engine lathes of the latest type
have been received recently by the
machine shop. They are a part of the
machinery obtained by Mr. G. B.
Thomas this summer during his trip
east. These machines, which were
purchased from the war department,
are a welcome addition to the shop.
Miss M. E. Pollock and Mrs. C. Holt
have been added to the teaching staff
of Benson. Miss Pollock takes the
place of Mr. Stephens, who has been
transferred to the science laboratory
department. She comes from the east
and is a graduate of the University of
Kansas and also of the University of
Chicago.
Mrs. Holt Is a resident of this city.

Among the various governments,
nominally related but virtually Inde
pendent, operating simultaneously in
Alaska, those acting in the name of
the interior department are most
harmful to the public, from the cir
cumstance that they are most numer
ous and come directly in contact with
more separate interests of the citizen.
The different governments acting in
the name of the department of agri
culture and the department of com
merce are nextin importance and, to
the extent their activities extend,
next in harmfulness to the Interests
of the people. All are equally de
structive of private rights and equally
incompatible with the normal growth
of private enterprise- and a normal
development of the territory's re
sources. Bureaucratic government has driven"
more than, 60 per cent of the orice
permanent population of Alaska to
other lands In search of homes within
the last ten years. Continued another
half-decade there will remain in
Alaska a white population of lees
than 10,000 persons; and these will be
they whom age and poverty hold de
spite their wish to escape the oppres
sion. Departments Useless.
The activities of the three depart
ments mentioned are almost all harm
ful to the public. The activities of
the various governments acting in
the name of the war, navy, labor and
Justice departments are merely large
ly useless in Alaska, rather than
harmful.
The postoffice department Is very
useful, although its policy of classify

The stock room has received many
new pieces of equipment for its own
use and for the use of the different
departments. . It has received two
power hack saws for cutting stock
hardware for shop number 6, a supply
of "clarite" steel for high-speed cut
ting tools, a Tungar rectifier for bat

Radicals Convinced of Rnln.
The general purpose underlying
bureaucratic policy and administra

ingly Irreconcilable difference. The
radical element is firmly convinced
that Alaska was deliberately ruined

proper, to prevent Its coal, timber,
and oil, then on the point of immense
development, from coming into com

KERENSKY VISITS LONDON
Leader of Kirst Russian Kevolt Be

LONDON. Oct. 2. Alexander Ker
ensky, leader of the first Russian
revolutionary government, has just
concluded a short holiday here.
In statements to newspaper men
he said he was of the opinion that
bolshevism was dying a natural
death in Russia, but he considered
that support given to a dictator from
outside would unite all classes of the
population on the side of the soviet
government.
Although he at one time made him
self personally responsible for the
saTTety of the Russian imperial fam
ily, Kerensky was reticent about his
last meeting with the late Emperor
Nicholas. "I intend shortly to make
an important statement on this sub
ject," he told the Evening Standard.

As virtually everything in a primi
tive community comes back to the
land, the matter of homesteading may
be . taken aptly to , illustrate the
habitual workings of bureaucratic
government.
Alaska public lands of any particu
lar value are mostly reserved from
human use by presidential executive
orders, but such as are still open to
entry by the prospective homestead
er are under the jurisdiction of either
the general land office of the interior
department or of the forest service of
the department of agriculture; de

The term "forest" in this connec

millions of acres of Alaskan "forest"
have no trees, while immense areas
of heavily timbered land are not
forests at all in the official sense.
Under the agricultural department
regulations homesteads may be taken

land, Gordon Orput. William Giles;
are limited to 160 acres as against
the 320 acres available in a less
forested but perhaps more heavily
timbered section of the public domain.
In the lands of the interior depart
ment, however, the entryman must
pay for' his survey, and at a rate un
knowable to him in advance, and
frequently far in excess of the value
of the wanted land. On the contrary
lands of the agricultural department
are surveyed for the homesteader at
public expense. '
While all claims under all the vari
ous jurisdictions are subject to regu
lations or bureau-made laws peculiar
to themselves and to each acting
jurisdictional authority, mineral claims
in forest reservations of the agri
cultural department, although sub
ject to the Jurisdiction of the geologi
cal survey and equally to that of the
bureau of mines, are by specific rul
ing under the exclusive Jurisdiction
of the general land office of the de
partment of the interior, subject, how
ever, to approval by the forest service
of the department of agriculture be
fore the issuance of patent.
But to examine a simpler and less
Involved instance, the subject of tim
ber rights suggests itself.
Timber Cutting; Prohibited.
The homesteader is prohibited from
cutting timber on his new .place: but
then he may cut timber on his new
place by first obtaining a permit; and
he may cut timber for export, but
cannot sell it, -nor remove it from the
premises where cut except for public
purposes; nor may he dispose of it in
any way except by sale at public
auction for the benefit of the govern
ment; although he may burn it all in
the proceB of clearing, but this must
be done without injuring its com
mercial value; and is only permitted
where no timber exists.
