If all the Legislators had introduced bills on the scale of Peterson, there would have been 504 before the houses, | which is exactly 300 more than is the case. Senator Ed Coffey got a mem- crial into the Senate after the 45th day. But Senators were not so sympathetic toward a similar attempt by Senator Don Carlos Brownell. When the Seward sol- on tried to introduce a work- men’s compensation bill yester- day, the vote was four to four on allowing a suspension of the rules. A six to two vote would have been necessary. A penalty of one per cent of gross production on all miners who fail to take out Tertitorial licenses cost- ing $2.50 was voted down yescerday by the House when proposed in an amendment by Rep.

Alaska Electric man R. !the -Senate yesterday when Senator author of the bill for such a home, did not appreciate the remark. Cochran suggested that mak- ing the present Pioneers’ Home a coeducational jnstitution might take care cf destitute Alaska women., Mrs. jenne said the men would never stand for that. What the House thinks of the| judgment of the Senate is just about what the Senate thinks about the brains of he House. When Senlorl Leroy Sullivan remarked in an ap- pearance before the House that the | Senate had passed unanimously on his bill to require persons to live in Alaska three years before they could vote, Rep. William Egan ob. served that bills which had been passed 16 to 0 in the House had gone | down to defeat in the Senate. ’l‘hen: the House voted on Sullivan’s bill | killing it 11 to five. “There’s a saying that birds of a | feather flock together, so this bill | is in a very good place in my desk, | because it's a bad bill,” Senator Nor- (Doc) Walker declared in 0. D. Cochran inquired what had be- come of his bill requiring liquor per- mits of purchasers. The Nome Sen- ator finally was successful in having the bill discharged from Walker’s | Education Committee and brought cut on the floer, causing the Ketchi- kan Senator to do some hunting for ‘|this particular piece of legislation, which Walker said was “way down deep in my desk.” The vpte cn bring- ing the bill out of Committee was six to two. Even Fisheries Chairman Jim Davis, fish trap owner, signed the committee’s report recommend- ing passage of Harvey Smith’s bill to raise the tax on fish traps from $200 to $300 per year. Can a bill which has been defeat- ed be considered again if it is in- troduced in slightly different form? Th eSenate says it can and so voted | yesterday. The vote came on sustain- ing a point of order by Senator Le- roy Sullivan, who objected that a bill to broaden application of the unemployment compensation law cculd not be considered because a similar measure had been voted down four to four. The vote on sustain- ing Sullivan’s point of order was four to four, and so the Senate con- sidered the bill. This may have an important bearing upon the Sen- ate reception of the income tax bill, which was defeated in that body but which was introduced in the House in slightly altered form a few days later. If it passes'the House in slightly altered form a' few days later. If it passes the House the Sen- ate can hardly refuse to consider it, in yiew of the decision on the un- eniployment compensation bill. Although the House passed ‘a bill to license those practicing the “drug- less healing arts,” it struck a section which would have authorized chiro- practors, naturopaths and osteo- paths to sign birth and death cer- tificates Five members of the House voted against that body’s mem- orial te supplant the “eight old men” of the Senate with 12 (please set it “12” Mr. Printer and not “1”). Dissenters were Jim Davis, Frank Gordon, Charl- es Herbert, Howard Lyng and Lecnard Smith. As passed by the Senate, the Brownell bill to vacate the Pioneers’ Home and sell it to the Federal Government so our oldtimers will not be bombed or shelled by the Japs carries an amendment making ',he go through with the deal .As the bill wouldn't go into effect until £0 days after approval by the Gov- ernor, it can't go into effect before Senate President Henry Roden |fears the Legisiature is asking for trouble for itself in passing bills to pay back funds escheated to the Territory from bank accounts. There is a court procedure for the return of such funds, he says, but more and more people will try to get their money through the Legislature, where it deesn’t cost the beneficiary anything, than going to the courts, where ii does. As for the “vanishing native tribal pecples” depicted in the 24 Crumrine paintings which the Senate wants (o buy for $3,600, Senator Lercy Sullivan ¢f Nome, says that as far as the Eskimos of his part of the country are concerned, their type has a “much better chance of still be- ing here 500 years from now than the particular types which we Senators represent.” Immediate construction of the Al- aska international highway is urg- ed up Congress in a memorial in- troduced in the Washington State Legislature by Senator Howard Bar- green of Snohomish. In glowing ad- verbs and adjectives, the memorial describes Alaska as “profuse in its fertile fields and forests” and “mul- titudicus in its variety of fish, fowl |and fauna.” That is Hardly more flowery, how- ever, than parts of Jim Davis’ bill for an Alaska military code. Sample: “The design of the Alaska flag is eight gold stars ina field of blue, so selected for its simplicity, its orig- inality ‘and its sybolism. The blue, one of our national colors, typifies the evening sky, the blue of the sea and of ‘mountain lakes, and of wild ' flowers that grow in Alaska soil, the gold being significant of the wedlth that lies hidden in Alas- ka’s hills and streams. . . Polaris, the North Star, the ever constant star for the mariner, the explorer, hunter, trapper, prospector, woodsman ‘and the surveyor. “Just’ a ‘moment Don't let’s fiake a Chiriese lottery out of thislace,” Speaker H. H. McCut- cheon shouted in the House the other day above the uproar of half a dozen Representatives serambling to Submit amend ments to the Health Department bill. Senate President Henry Roden went all the way back to June 27, 1882, to find an occasion in the na- ticnal House of Representatives on which a motion to rescind was enter- tained and passed. “If youw'll read your Bible, you'll see there was only one man was ever resurrected from the dead,” Senator C. H. (Alabam) LaBoyteaux said the other day by way of preface to an objection:-against resurrection of the unemployment compensation bill. A few pages must be missing from Alabam’s Bible. Among those resurrected -from the dead: Jesus, Lazarus, the daughter of Jairus, the Widow: of Main's son. —— e Boostin U.
