It was pre- ceded by a deadlock that lasted from about 11 p.m. Thursday until 9 o'clock this morning, involving three major measures. These were general appropria- tions, the office of auditor and manner of the election of an audi- tor and the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines appro- priation. Pass Many Measures The Legislature passed 120 bills, all of which became law except one—the so-called Poor Conviet measure which failed to pass over the Governor’s veto. The final hours were marked by a jam of e e bills accumlated n the Senate in which were the largest money British R - | 00 and Graf!measures of the session. This in- volved hours of detailed work in conference committees that pro- longed the final day's session. The general appropriation car- ried approximately $1975,000, a net reduction over the way it passed the House of $142285 which was largely accounted for by the elimi- nation of the college appropria- tion and the appropriation for min- ing investigations which were cov- ered by other measures previously passed by both hoses. There were a number of reduc- tions and increases, mostly of small amounts. The road appropriation, boosted by the Senate from $300,000 to $400,000, was finally fixed at $320,000. The Alaska College ap- propriation was cut from $135,035 to $95,500 by the Senate and finally raised to $105,500 at which figure it passed. Major Measures Many important matters were considered and acted upon by the Legislature. It passed laws making elective the heads of all territorial. departments. It changed the old age pension system to one for pio- neers only. It enacted a new code for schools and indigents and needy. It revamped laws relating to de- pendent children, delinquent child- ren and Boards of Children’s Guardians, i In the last hour shuffle the Com- munity Property bill was lost. The House, having refused to concur in Senate amendments to the measure, appointed a conference commit- tee which agreed to accept the Sen- ate version. The Senate adopted the joint committee report. But the House rejected it and in the press of other important matters failed to appoint another confer- ence ycommittee and the measure died. No Tax Bill For the second time in succession, the Legislature did not raise any of the Territory’s tax schedules. No general tax bill was introduced and a measure providing for a new head tax of $5 for a special pension and indigent relief fund was defeated in the Senate. It created the office of auditor and elected an auditor to succeed to the duties heretofore performed by the Secretary of Alaska for the Territory. It defeated the Control Board plan of Government put for- ward by the Senate in Senator Steel's so-called Controller Bill. Had Political Side The political aspect o the ses- sion was, however, as pronounced as any in recent years with politi- cal moves being marked in the Senate. introduced and passed by a faction- al vote denouncing Gov. Parks for alleged political activity and accus~ ing him and other Federal officials " (Continued on Page Five) There a ‘memorial was .
