The Governor’s Bill On Revenue Bonds (Ketchikan Chronicle) From what this newspaper can gather, Gruening was behind the bill Delegate Bartlett intro- duced in Congress to give to city councils and utilities boards the right to issue bonds, secured by revenues of utilities or public. properties, without a vote of the taxpayers in the districts affected Those in the know say the Governor led the fight for the city of Juneau to purchase the private utilities of-the Capital City. The fight failed early this month | by'a close vote. So the Governor, instead of reforming | his lines and continuing the fight on the home front, seems to have gone over the heads of the Juneau o aiaded have De legate Bartlett take the bond-issuing Governor him across.

This shows immature judgn and can only inure to the Territory, for when progressiv join his die-hard enemies, no good can come We dor't think the Delegate should let the Gov- ernor dictate hi jons in Washington, either for the s00d of Alaska or for his own good. Alaskans didn't want the revenue bill. And Bartlett’s Republican op- ponent in the last election, Mayor Jack Manders Anchorage, is fighting the bill tooth and nail, to beat Bartlett in the next election The thing for Bartlett to do, of course, is to push bills he knows are right and when others are look carefully*intd the aims and purposes of the proponents, then ask Alaska how they feel This system hasn’t yet been proved far wrong, and it strangely, democratic If the however own it water and telephone utilities, he should go back and fight for them in Juneau.

Miner) ays been under the impression that an administrative official not tive official. Governor of Alaska Ernest Gruening, however, apparently believes that the in- itiative should rest in him, a Federal appointee, rather than in the legislative body, the members of which have been elected by the people of the Territory Following the recent leg session Governor Gruening has started his Biennial war on the Legislators who opposed his bills and the opening are found in a report which he entitles “Mes- : to the People of Alaska.” In this report, Dr. Gruening lauds the House, which passed his measures and killed those he op- posed; and bitterly condemns the Senate, which failed {to adopt many of the bills which he proposed Whether you are for or against the Governor and his policies, is immaterial. We are all entitled to our {own opinicns. But the attempt which was made dur- ling this winter's session of the Legislature to tran: the initiative and the power from the people to the ecutive branch of the government is certainly a ter of concern to all Alaskans, The leadership of the House was transferred from » floor to the Office of the Governor. Li were chosen to act as contact men betwi ernor and the pro-Governor members of the House. | Action was seldom taken in the House without in- structions from the Governor, who frequently sat in the gallery, or from the Governor's office through one of the contact men The majority of the House members were serving | their first term in the Legislature and probably didn’t | realize what was happening. The Senate, however, | was compesed largely of veteran legislators who refused | to surrender their power. So, contrary to the sentiment expressed by Go ernor Gruening in his report, we should like to extend our wo lof our T [effort to [ernment.
