Marriage Knots of Future May Be Tied With Red Tape Eminent Sociologist Predicts Issue of Licenses Only' to Those Who Prove Fitness for Parenthood. Bootleg Nuptials a Possibility. 2 i 1 ProE:DAVID SNEDDON « LiNING Up Fom, LICENSES Whether or not the swain of the future lives happily evef ‘after with the girl of his choice will depend upon how he answers the following questions: Will you make an “effective”” husband? Can you suppert your children in the style which they have a right to expect? Do you guaran- tee to provide for your family? That is according to Professor Day’ Sneddon, sociologist, of Columbia Ui y, who predicts thy1 only men and women of qualities giving high promise of being efiectite parents will be licensed to marry and have children, thus eliminating the dire poverty due to great numbers of children bsing born to parents who are incapable of rearing them wecll. When it was pointed out to the professor that love has always found a way of overcoming the formidable obstacles and that it will be just 2s powerful'in 1950 as in sociologist admitted that there are bound to be evasions of t as there are of the liquor laws and every other law that ever was made. But he insists that pcople could be drilled into' 2ecepting the new order of things. One wonders how any brand of legislation eoula ever hope to govern a woman's heart. The records prove that cpposition serves but to intensify her determination to choose! the mate on whom she has set her heart. So we may look for the advent of the bootlegger into the domain of Cupid. It would be deplorable indeed if 'a yo couple could not start life tog r without breaking the law by marl L ing to the altar with a bootlegged license.

T. Taylor Says Territor:y Will Get Her Share of Funds In congressman Edward T. Tay- | lor, Democrat of Colorado, Alaska has an able and an influential {friend in high place. Through his efforts at the recent session of iCongress, when usual appropria- [tions were cut heavily, the Terri- {tory fared no worse than other' |parts of the nation in the matter |of economic reductions, and he |promises at the next session of the |Federal law-making body to see| {that Alaska gets her share of) |Government allowances. | The Congressman expresses his Ifriendly interest in the Territory! in a letter to Territorial Senator KRoherl S. Bragaw, of Anchcrage, {President of the All-Alaska Cham- 'ber bf Commerce, who had writter. , he Federal Legislator in appre- |riation of the latter's services for ‘the Territory. On Appropriations Committee Congressman Taylor is Chairman | {of the Department of Interior Sub: {comimittee of the House Appropria {tions Committee. He was a mem {ber of the Congressional party that ivisited Alaska a year ago. As published in the Anchorage Times, Congressman Taylor's letter to Territorial Senator Bragaw fol- lows: “My Dear Mr. Bragaw: Your let- ter most generously thanking me on behalf of the people of Alaska and the Alaska Territorial Cham- her of Commerce for my efforls Quring the recent session of Con- Bress in behalf of the Territory is just received, and I assure you that I appreciate very highly indeed this expression of goodwill and ap- proval. You probably realize that after all, we are all of us only {grown-up children, and we never get too old to appreciate a kindly word of goodwill. All Running for Office | “It was not only an official duty but a genuine pleasure for me to be of some service to Alaska. I regret to say that it will be im- possible for any Congressmen 0 visit Alaska this year because, as you know, this is campaign year and everyone who is a candidate for re-election is running for of- fice, and we all have trouble in front of us. ! “The condition of the country. is| 50 deplorable and a large part of! the population is so utterly deszl-i tute and nearly everybody is in; 'straightened circumstances, so that this will be a very strenuous and | disagreeable campaign. | To Lookout for Alaska “However, if my health holds| {out, whether I am re-elected or Inot, I will, as Chairman of the Elnceriar Department Appropriations Committee, have charge of that annual appropriation bill for next year, and I will very gladly do my lutmost to see that Alaska gets fair and sympathetic consideration. ! “You probably realize that last year the Interior Department ap-| propriations bill carried about $70,- 000,000, and this year the bill, under my supervision, was reducea to about $45,000,000, a cut of 35 per| cent, and when it is considered that it was & reduction of $25,000, 000 from the bill that was pa.ssed( a year ago, I tried to see that Alaska did not lose’at least any more than her share. Promises Can't Be Definite “Of course, everyone is hoping that times may take a turn for the better before I report out the next annual Interior. Department bill, and if they do, I will try to see that Alaska gets her share, but no lone can make any definite prom- | ises. | “During our seven and one-half months of nerve-racking and strenuous session of Congress, wc' hae passed a great many measures | that I hope will be of real and great constructive berefit. It will| depend a good deal upon the way | in which they are administered. We have appropriated $4,300,000,000 and authorized the expenditure or" a great deal more, and I hope that it may help turn the tide.” { Will Wobble Around “You know,” lzn.hun LincolnI once said, he had an abiding faith that ‘the American people would ultimately ‘wobble around right,’ and while we have been domg‘a‘ lot_of ‘wobbling’ during the past| three years, T know the country| will land right side up some of thése | days. “It is utterly impossible for CF' | | { | | i | [ MR FORG!
