BANKING BILL Indefinife Postponement Voted on One House Measure Saturday “Indefinite postponement” has ocen an ill-fated motion in the Territorial Senate, so far this ses- sion; having been attempted several times without success. But Satur- day afternoon the motion Iinally . made the grade. The “death knell” was rung, by a 15 to 1 vote, for Representative Stanley McCutcheon's House Bill No. 39. The measure, “relating to the remission, commutation or sus- pension of judgments of justice ccurts on pleas of guilty,” had come ! out of the Senate Judiciary Com- mittee with a “do not pass” tag. The | motion to indefinitely postpone was put on by Senator O. D. Cochran when the bill came up for second reading; following the close of the “open hearing” on the Net Income Tax Act. One other House Bill, No. 7, by Representative Maurice Johnson, had skipped along to Senate ap- proval, just previous to the opening of the hearing. The rules were sus- pended and passage given by un- SEATED ERECT in his jeep, across 8 makesh passed by the Senate Saturday fore- noon.

The meas- | ure had been roughly treated before | the Governor to the Secretary of Alaska and already in effect, makes provision for the same things, but with a difference in the number. of passing the House, with authority to bound volumes of the laws to be act as “administrators with or with- ocut the will annexed” not only de- nied to Alaska banks but téken away from National institutions, which previously had been so empowered. The Benate, however, restored the bill to its original form before put- ting its stamp of approval on it. The | bill now goes back to the lower chamber, where concurrence in the Senate amendments has been prom- ised. A near mix-up involving dupli- {to rescind its “yes” contracted for.
