After the read-| oicrvonSTTE ]EXTH_E WORKERS Curtis Shattuck dissected the con- tents of the bill and explained the undesirability of the article advo- cating suspension of homestead laws for 10 years and also present- ed his reasons for limiting the pro- posed homestead act to veterans alone. He suggzested that the Cham- ber go on record as against the bill unless existing land laws werc amended but as endorsing the fea- tures favoring the veterans. Ralph Rivess contended that tie bill portends an active interest in the orderly settlement of Alaske and advocated endorsement of jar. ring land loose from Public Do- main. He pointed out that the pre- cent bill shows a liberality over the obstructions presented by the Lanc Office in the past. Although Rivers stated that the barricade had beer let down in recent years, he alsc mentioned the bill as eventually giving the Territory more jurisdic- tion over the land. Rivers voicec approval of the selectivity clausc which will bring veterans of the pioneer type qualified for fronti life but opposed the clause barring liquor for sale on the homesteac premises since veterans might h to include roadside stands for sale of beer, etc. Burr Johnson opposed the crea- tion of another bureau to be set up on the homestead program without abclishment of the existing bureau which he maintains is un- satisiactory for land ownership. Charles Burdick mentioned that the Tongass National Forest is in- cluded in the Lill and cited other desirable locations for settlement, while reminding the members of the disadvantages of attempting cettlement of isolated regions with a rural population. The Cham- ber finally voted that the home- stead bill not be supportad unless existing land laws ke amended giv- ing veterans preference and de- fining clear title.
