George A. Parks did not approve and failed to sign the Murray bill relating to expres- sicn of the popular will on the re- peal of the Alaska Bone Dry Law, the voters of the Territory will not register their desires in the matter in the next general election on the first Tuesday in November, 1930. In other words, the referendum pro- posed at the next general election on repealing the Alaska Bone Dry Law will not be held. The bill reachea Gov. Parks at the final minute of the session, one of a large number, and it was the only one not to be signed by him. This failure of approval killed the measure, In explanation of his pocket veto, Gov. Parks said he though the ef- fect of the measure would have been unfortunate, leading to a “wet o dry” fight. Coming at the very time that President Hoover is ap- pointing a commission to study law enforcement problems with a view of making the enforcement of all laws more effective, the Gover- nor sald he was convinced that a wet or dry issue would be raised that would have led to an impres- ion abroad that would have been harmful. The Murray measure passed the House by a vote of 10 to six, and received a bare majority in the Senate, the vote on final passage being five to three. It was among the last measures to be passed and did not reach the Governor until about 3 a.m. of Muy 3.
