Naturally enough, the system has met with some cr m it was bound to do. No sys- tem can please every one. One of the major objections sounded to the pres- ent system is that unlicensed places have been per- e in competition with licensed places setup, mitted to oper These who see merit in the however that unlicensed places are in present are quick to point o violation of the law and therefore the trouble is with enforcement by the various municipalities. On this premise, too. those who favor the sale of hard liquors over the bar tb me as beer and wine & an argu- ment. They declare that if sale of all liquor over the bar under & h ense system was permitted mosi of the cry about bootleggi w be eliminated. And that again will be a debatable question before the Leg- islat in the Pirst Division in recent months there has rabie sentiment for Territorial stores or retail s operated by the Territory in which liquor of all | uld be purchased only in un- broken parcels. The suggestion also has been ad- vanced that a permit system be incorporated with the plan to regulate the amount any pp shaser could buy. Legisls from other Divisions report less talk of Territorial stores in their districts, but it is probable that there is enough support for the store plan to make it a controversial issue before the lawmakers. Indications further, that there is going to be strong protest from present liquor dealers and those who support the present against a change, primarily on the basis of investment. Every town in the Territory has seen a great deal of money expended by private individuais in opening up stores. Two years ago more money was spent in partitioning off their places when the law was made more drastic, prohibit- ing them from selling tobaccos, candies and so forth in the same room with liqguor. There will be strong argument that Territorial stores will put this large number of business houses out of business and mean financial losses in many cases ‘Whatever the way of liquor legislation, sion that it will be one of t! questions before the 14th & are system may come the next 60 days in it is a foregone conclu- » most lively, debatable ion out of RELIEF BIG ISSUE BEFORE CONGRESS As the T76th Congres: its session in the national capital, one of the most controversial issues before it appears to be that of relief and the WPA setup. As funds for this agency are nearing exhaus- starts “It was & message from God,” of a premonition which saved out of the room,” and a few tion indications are that relief will be among the first problems with which the Congressmen will deal. Right now the immediate big news about WPA is that its rolls have been declining for five successive making a total drop of 125,862 from the Novem- | I 5 peak of 3264907, according to reports from Washington. Furthermore, the amount of weekly decline has shown a steady increase, ranging from| 7,232 for the week ended November 12 to 45514 l(u‘l that ended December 10 And while these declines obviously reflect im- rovement in private oyment, even iuthoritative figures on that assumed improvement do not go beyond the end of October, they also reflect new WPA policy generally rc trengthen the WPA case with This,_is the policy congress presumably.based on the idea arded as designed to| THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, WEDNESDAY, JAN. %roscope “The stars incline but do not compel” THURSDAY, JANUARY 5, 1939 today, according to astrology.
