PUBLICA’ NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1011 American Bullding, Seattls, Wash, THE BILL Through the courtesy of Senator William Langer of North Dakota, we have received a copy of Senate B{ll 951, & measure “to provide for the admission of Alaska into the Union.” Senator Langer is one of the authors of the bill Senator Pat McCarran of Nevada is the other The measure contains the following provisions: It provides that within 30 days after the bill be- comes law, the Governor of Alaska shall declare an election to choose 17 delegates who will assemble in Juneau for the purpose of drawing up a state con- stitution . Four delegates would be elected from each | division, and one would be chosen to represent the Territory at large. The election would be held within six months after the passage of the bill in Congress. | The delegates would be given 60 days in which to draw up a constitution. By ordinance, the constitutional convention would provide: 1. That perfect toleration of religious sentiment | shall be secured, and that no inhabitant of the State of: Alaska shall ever be molested in person or prop- erty. on account of mode of religious worship. 2.- That the State of Alaska shall retain all the public property, vacant and unappropriated lands fying within its limits, now ceded, transferred and in the possession of the United States, except such | as are in the possession of and used by a department of ‘the United States. This would except such lands Hs 'national forests and other reserves which are being used at present. 3. That the debts and liabilities of the Terri- tory shall be assumed and paid by the State of Al- | aska, and also all debts owed the Territory shall be collected by the State. ».4. THat provision shall be made for the estab- Yishigient and maintenance of a systom of public e en of the |schools, which shall be open to the chil State and free from sectarian control After the constitution and a State government | has been formed, the convention would provide for an election to submit the constitution to the people of Alaska for ratification or rejection within 60 days after the convention concludes session | If a majority of favorable votes is obtained, the | Governor would certify the results to the Prefidént {who would issue a proclamation on the result and | the proposed State of Alaska would be admitted into kh(‘ Union as the forty-ninth state. At the same time the people would be voting on the constitution, they also would choose a Represen- |tative and two Senators for Congress, together with |a Governor and other State officers provided for in the constitution The bill carries a $100,000 appropriation for pay- ing the expenses of the elections and the constitu- tional convention. In addition, the bill provides that the State of Alaska would be set up as one judicial district to be known as the “District of Alaska.” The district court would hold one term at Juneau, one at Nome, one at Valdez and one at Fairbanks each year, with special terms if needed, and the district would bet TUESDAY, APRIL 27 attached to the ninth judicial district. | Thus the court setup now existing in Alaska| Benefic and malefic planetary would continue, although the State would be able to establish a Supreme Court, and also its own courts of original and appellate jurisdiction if deemed necessary. Naturally, all laws in force in the Territory at| the tfme the Territory would become a State, would remain in force in the State unless changed by the Legislature. That's the bill upon which Alaska’s chances of | becoming the forty-ninth state rest Senator Langer has requested that Alaskans write to him, expressing their opinion on the bill Alaska Delegate Anthony J. Dimond also would probably appreciate correspondence from Alaskans on| the matter. We Like It This Way i (Cincinnati Enquirer) | ‘ If James Petrillo, union czar of Americaii music who prides himself on being so hard to get along with, hoped to make the American public suffer by his ban on orchestral le(ordmgs for radio and “juke | box” use, he has failed dismally. In fact, it has been something of a boon not to! |have the radios and the juke boxes blaring forth the | same new tunes ad nauseam for the several weeks required to play a tune to death, then repeating the | process with something different. We have a vast accumulation of good musi written and recorded in the past, and now we are | hearing more of it. Instead of every radio and juke | box program consisting mainly of the currently | being-worn-to-death tunes, many of them nowadays range back through the really good tunes of bygone | years—popular and semi-classical. From a listener’s standpoint, the situation is one to be embraced as long as possible. I Perhaps Petrillo hoped the public would “put the | heat” on the radio and record industries and force | them into acceptance of his high-handed demand‘ | that an “unemployment insurance tax” for the bene- | fit of him and his union be levied on all records ! ‘made for public entertainment. If so, we trust that it will be made clear to Petrillo that the public can | Jalanrl it better than the musicians and song writers | | can. For the latter it is an important loss of revenue | | for which they have nobody but Petrillo to blame. | But for the public it is an era of good rather than | fad music, and for that, perhaps, we, have nobody but Petrillo to thank . more, horse meat the lions natural diet of zebra. | Like any housewife, to rise séveral years ago.

HOROSCOPE “The stars incline but do not compel” influences conflict this configura- tion which is most promising in ear morning hours. Aviation is under favorable aspects. HEART AND HOME: Women's special interests should be of first| concern today when national needs indicate greater draft upon wives and mothers as workers outside the home. Grandmothers will take over housekeeping cares long surren- dered and will prove most efficient because strength and ‘endurance will be developed to meet heavy old men will again contribute much from their stores of long. eéxper- ience. First World War veterans will be most valuable in their con- tributions to the common geed, as- trologers predict. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Stock ex- changes will be centers of activity as the speculative spirit again en- |courages investments in fluctuating securities. Warning is given that ised. Women as well as men will be infected wtih the hope of easy prof- its from scattering investments. In- flation will be a menace which Government measures fail to pre- vent as wage earners spend freely and ignore rising prices. NATIONAL ISSUES: Housing difficulties will be widely prevalent wherever war industries are estab-| lished, because the need of increas- ed production will add greatly to |the numbet of workers.

The agreement included the appropriation of $15,000 for purchase and $2,000 for removing the offices from their present location. Congressman Addison T. Smith, of Idaho, had abandoned his plan to make the trip to Alaska with Secretary John W. Weeks and members of the Senate and House of Representdtives, according to word received by U. S. Attorney A. G. Showp. He stated he and his wife expected to come North, but later in the summer. J. H. Hill, fox farmer from Eldred Island, arrived in Juneau on the gasboat Vivian which he had purchased in Ketchikan a short time previously. Mrs. Mike Pusich, of Douglas, accompanied by her three children, left for Seattle where they were to spend the next few weeks visiting with her parents. J. C. McBride, U. S. Collector of Customs, left on the Princess Mary for Prince Rupert on his way to Hyder and southern points on an inspection trip of customs’ offices. He expected to be away about ten days. From Seattle came news that the strike of the I. W. W. was gradually spreading and that between 7,000 and 8,000 men were out in Washington and Oregon. I. W. W. leaders said the demonstration was progressive and in full force and would not be felt until May 1. Em- ployers said the maximum force was already passed and all I. W. W. men were already out. After being in session for nine days, returning 12 indictments, the Federal Grand Jury returned its final report and was discharged by Thomas M. Reed. The report was signed by John Reck, as foreman.

The Farm. Security medical plan is 'a ‘pre-payment plan,” under which famiiles in farm areas pay a fixed fee for a full year’s medical tare for the entire family, régard- less of what ailments may develop. The fee ranges from $15 in the poorer areas, upwards to $40. But the farm bloc, riow runhing wild in Oongress, probably will sweep aside this aid to rural cem- munities, though it now operates in 1,140 counties. .
