District Judge George F. Alexander form the basis for legislative action ithat is to be taken by the Senate Judiciary Committee, Senator O. D. Cochran, chairman, has stated. | Suggested changes in the Terri- tory’s liquor laws were attached ito a letter from Judge Alexander |directed to the President of the Senate and referred to the Judi- ciary group. } | The seven recomimendations |guments omitted), are: “1)—To provide for the creation of the Office of Liquor Adminis- trator. That such Liquor Adminis- trator be appointed by the Gover- nor, with the approval of the Leg- islature, or by the Legislature? or by the Territorial Administrative Board with the approval of the Legislature, at a salary of $5,000 to $6,000 per annum, for a fixed term of not less than two nor more than four years, and that he not be removable except for malfeasance in office, the idea being to divorce the administration of the liquor laws as far as possible from poli- tics, or political interference. | “That the issuance of licenses and the complete ' enforcement of said liquor laws be turned over to him. That incident thereto, the present -enforcement officers and: such additional officers as you may | regard as necessary (not less than two for each Division) be turned jover to him. That such enforcement officers also be made Territorial tax collectors and charged with the | responsibility of collecting all mer- i cantile, vehicle and miscellaneous 1tuxes payable to the Territory, and such additional duties as you deem | wise or expedient. { “In this connection I see no ob- |jection to the Clerks of the Dis- {trict Courts acting as license-issuing | officers under the 8irection of the | Liquor Administrator. | “2)—That Chapter 78, Section64, P. 172, Laws of Alaska, 1937, re- r- lating to qualifications of licensing, be amended so as to provide: | "“No beverage dispensary license (or retail license shall be issued to any person or association of per- sons except male citizens of the United States, over the age of 21 years and of good moral character, and who have resided in the Terri- tory for at least one year prior fo the date of the application, or to any corporation which is not quali- fied to do business in the Terri- tory, and has been for at least one year prior to its application. | “3)—I also call to your attention Sub-section 2 of Section 5, Chapter .78, Laws of Alaska, 1937, at P. 171, which reads as follows: “It shall be unlawful to permit | €ny person under the age of twenty- cne years to enter any beverage dis- pensary unless the said minor is ac- :_,:ympam‘ed by his parent or guard- ian. “This section has ecaused more trouble and created more contempt for the liquor law as a whole than any other section of the law. I see no purpose or object in any such provision and recommend that it be repealed. Disorderly Conduct “4)—I further recommend that "a]! loud, boisterous, and disorderly ;conduct, and the use of loud, pro- hibited in all such places, (ie. bey- ,erage dispensaries), and that all violations thereof be punished by |fines of $10 to $100, and that repe- tition thereof be included in the | causes for revocation of licenses. “5)—No provision is made for li- {censees to dispose of their stocks of liquor if license is cancelled or they desire to retire from business. “I suggest they be allowed to apply to the Liquor Administrator for a permit to sell their stock’in bulk, and be permitted to do so on his order and under his supetvi- sion. “6)—The opening and closing hours should be fixed by LegiSla- tive Act ta apply generally every- where in the Territory. Limit On Licenses “7)~—Lastly—but most important of all, I recommend that the num- ber of licenses that may be issued in any locality—City, Town or Dis- trict—be limitea by law to say— not more than one for every 200 or 300 inhabitants in towns up to 1,000 population; and not more than one for each 300 to 500 in- habitants for cities or towns of over 1,000 population. Or, maybe, three classifications should be made with appropriate quotas. “Some may say, but we can't do this, it would put too many out of business. The answer to this is— leave the present licenses as they are but grant no new ones, and forbid the granting of any new lisenses {n the place of those aban- dorled, revoked or for any reason not renewed by the present holders until the quota fixed has been at- tained, and then hold to the quots from then on, “Iu connection herewith, I would be glad to appear before your com- mittee to explain my views more in detail or render ~+- sistance in - conuection ‘thereyui® !for the Griffin Memorial Hospital |at Kodiak, was sent directly to the | {Pinance Committee. gocd working order, The Senate voted adjournment until 11 o'clock this, morning, hav- ing whittled its calendar down to| Charles W.

GREEN,” - HE'S "SENATOR" Senate Clears Calendar- Passes on Pair of Legal Measures Yesterday The tedium of routine legislative action was somewhat relieved in the Terr Senate’s short ses- sion yesterday afternoon, when the upper chamber was asked to concur in a House amendment to Senate Bill No. 2, the Unemployment Com- | pensation measure, passed by the Senators many days since. Without objection, the Senate agreed to the House amendment to-wit: One line, one, where the of the bill's author appears, “Mr. Green" and substitute ieu thereof “Senator Green.” Previous to that important - bit of business, the Senators had car- ried over until today the two, con- {licting Health Department bills that had been the subject of con- troversy during the morning meet- ing. The solons also had put their stamp of approval,on two House bills of a legal nature and con- tinued two other similar House S.
