Another amendment would have stricken the provision which re- quires that the commissioner be a resident of Alaska for five years. This means that the bill will probably be considered by a joint conference committee to thrash out | «he differences. At the same time, the House un- animously passed a memorial by James V. Davis, urging Congress to consider legislation as soon as possible to grant the peo- ple of Alaska the right to elect their own Governor. Rep. Crystal | Tweeds . . Checks . . Plain Colors Jones-Stevens Seward SEN. AP, WALKER, GORDON OPPOSE HOME RULE BILL By a whisker of only one vote, the Senate this morning accepted a ‘memorial by Speaker James V Davis, urging Congress to grant the people of Alaska the right to elect their own Governor . Senator Frank Gordon led the move to block the measure, and Senator A. P. Walker sided in with him on the vote, By a vote of 6 to 2, however, the bill was accept- ed. The House had passed the measure by a4 unanimous vote. In opposing the memorial, Gor- don said he didn't think this was the time to go into the election of 2 Govetnor for Alaska because of the war, President O. D. Cochran said that we were at war in the same way when the President of the United States, himself, urged Congress to pass legislation enabling Puerto Rico to elect its owner Governor. “This is something which the 21" x32" 22" x 40" Street prayed for ever since it became a Territory,” he said. “I can’t see how any citizen of the Territory can object to such a desire at any time.” Gordon said that he could see where it might be wise for Puerto Rico, but not for Alaska at this time. Gordon was the only Senator who voted against the memorial when the vote for final passage was tak- en. The measure now will go to the Governor for his consideration. SENATE PASSES SCHOOL TAX BILL By a vote of 6 to 2 the Senate this afternoon passed Rep. Andrew Gundersen's school tax bill, ex- tending the levy to working women and extending the age limit up- ward to except only ‘persons 55 years of age or older from the tax. A move by Senator A. P. Walker to amend the bill to give the Gov- ernor instead of the Treasurer the power to appoint tax collectors was lost by a 5-3 vote.
