But ‘twas ever so with Legis- Jatures. The last few days are always the most pro- ductive, not only because Legislators, like the rest of us, are prone to let the work pile up until it has to be done they are by the end of the session in much better form for law-making Information which is opinions but also because not yet available which have not yet been expressed, pressure from the people, from special groups and from officials which has not vet been exerted all wjll play their parts in writing chapters into the 1939 session laws. One of the major problems of the session, the liquor question, has been touched on already, though only lightly. One bill to permit sale of hard liquor by the drink has been introduced in the Senate and two measures, one provi club sale and the other putting the Territory into the liquor business as wholesaler, are pending in the House. On none of these bills, however, has any action been taken. It is certain that a good many more liquor bills will be introduced this session and that the considera- tion of them will command the special attention of Because of the diversity of views held on the subject, all liquor bills are expected to proceed very slowly. Every Le conceivable, will have something to say on each section of every bill. This will make slow going tor, it is If liquor is the No. 1 question this session, the gold tax c inly rates No. 2. No gold tax bill has seen the light of day. The question is sure to arise, however, as Governor Troy in his message promised a further communication to the Legislature on the gold tax. It is understood, too, that the Department of the Interior will have a recommendation to make on this subject. Legislagors, of course, are cooking up a number of proposals of their’ own. Before the week is over at least one gold tax bill should find its way to the hopper Wolf bounties, a subject set for special considera- tion of the House next Friday, is another prime prob- lem. Practically everyone agrees that a change in the present system, which ran the Territory $85,000 into the red in the last biennium, is necessary. A bounty bill requiring the trapper to surrender the pelt to the Territory at the time of claiming bounty has been introduced in the House. The Senate has asked the Game Commission to make a definite recommendation regarding what should be done about wolf and coyote bounties. One important bill has been passed by both Houses and signed by the Governor. It amends the Unem- ployment .Compensation act along lines recommended e s (on another political jitterbug session. hy Soeial Security officials here. Other welfare mat- ters will come in for their share of attention. The Fourteenth Legislature, on its record up to the present time, is one which will give careful con- sideration to all its work, going more deeply into pro- bills than have most of its; visions of the various | predecessors. The session should go down in the history of the Territory as that of an “amending” Legislature. No revolutionary new measures are in sight, though con- siderable spadework has been done on evolutionary measures, improving the laws we already have. From the standpoint efficiency, the present membership of the two houses is outstanding. Both Senate and House have moved smoothly. Political and personal considerations have been sublimated to that of progress, The sensible, progressive conduct of the 14th Legislature through its first 15 days has been a tribute to able leadership by Senator Norman R.! Walker, President of the Senate, and Representative Howard Lyng, Speaker of the House, and a tribute too to all the members of both bodies of | The Dies Report—A Bundle of Waste l’aper; (Philadelphia Record) The Dies Committee to Investigate un-American will 'be freqtient but obstacles will| Quadra. s has reported.

We t to find out all we can about this con- | tinuous anti-American activity. We want to know who pays for the propaganda, what technique is used, what influences are at work. We want specific, detailed knowledge, with names and places. We don’t want to repeat the careless mistakes of the former European democracies. Such inquiry, unbiased and scientific, is not Red- baiting or Fascist-baiting. Red-baiting is what Mr. Dies specializes in; the high art of putting a red smear on liberals and progressives. But to oppose Communism, to seek knowledge about it, to bring to light its maneuvers in whatever innocent guise they may appear, is not Red-baiting. It is such stupid | tactics as those of Dies which permit the Reds to take | day from medical care at St. Ann’s | cover under the defensive cry of “Red-baiting.” The Dies Committee poured the red paint over everybody in sight; it became a merchant of opinions instead of a collector of facts; it developed an ostrich digestion and swallowed everything; it was much more interested in licking the New Deal in Michigan and California than in exposing Therefore its report is worthless; there is no way of separating wheat from chaff in it To re-establish the Dies Committee, now fortu- nately expired, will be to waste the taxpayers’ money | We say, not another penny to Dies.
