But the dicta- tors may see in it the “worst” sort of anti-dictator propaganda. . Hitler already is sensitive to the fact that his moustache has been compared to Cheplin’s screen mous- tache. But Chaplin had it first, thus that cannot be considered a deliber- the dictators may be less dictatorial —or even more s0. . Belief is if Charlie talks in his few picture the conversation will sound like snatches of dictator outs and growls rather than intel- ible speech. Chaplin’s last picture was “Mod- o Times,” three years ago; was allegedly needed to complete the river chain from the Bering Sea to the headwaters, and because “Drager put over a fast one,” the measure received but eight votes and died. Siding with opposition, a few sign- ers of the bill said, “Drager brought the thing around when we were busy and asked for our signatures. We didn’t mean to sign it.” And so with seven signatures, the measure still failed to pass, although Coffey gave notice of reconsidera- tion. House bill 117 passed, providing for filling of vacancies on Boards of Directors in Public Utility Districts. House bill 136, which authorizes the Territorial Commissioner of Health to inspect camp living condi- tions where employers furnish living quarters for employees, passed 11 to 5. | Assay Office, Anchorage Anchorage may get an assay office for what Third Division men des- cribed as “the greatest mineral lode area of the North,” in the passage of House bill 108, appropriating $8,- In House bills 122 and 62, both pas- | sed, royalty payments on mining claim leases is defined, and placer association claims size is cut from its present posible 160 acres to 40 acres. The change is claim staking regu- lations is asked, to prevent “blanket- ing” of mineralized creeks before the small claim staker has a chance to get a claim down. When the $8,000 appropriation measuie for stocking of Alaska with Elk, Buffalo, and game birds, came up in House bill 135, in its same form as formely killed earlier in the session, the measure was immediate- ly tabled. Salary Measure The House agreed to House. bill 124, giving the Unemployment Com- pensation Commission power to name the salary of ihe head of the office (Walter P. Sharpe), which is now $4,200 a year. A halibut marketing investigation by Congress was asked in the pas- sage of House Joint Memorial 40; Benny Benson, designer of Alaska’s flag, was given his $1,000 tuition money, originally earmarked for ex- penditure in his reward at the Uni- school in Seattle. House bill 132, making suit possible in instances of maliclous damage to property, was passed; House bill 116, setting the limit of employment agency fees at $2,00, was also passed; House bill 110, making it unlawful for an employer to designate where an employee shall sleep, buy, or eat, was also given the go sign. House bill 5z kiiled. It would have struck the names of corpora- tions from registry after two years delihquence in license taxes, but was killed on the grounds that it was “dangerous.” 3 | Comedy of the session, taking,_ the | dull edge off the late hour, bright- ened the House when House bill 121, ed.
