TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 8, LIQUOR DEALERS _ NOT AUTHORS OF BEVERAGE ACT Jack Allmifiiates Posi- tion of ALRDA on " Lliquor Llaw (contmued {rom page one) Soma few months after the close of sion, the aleoholic beverage as informed by the At- ral, through me, that another hbill setting up a central control agency would be introduced at this <‘on. After careful study , the Board of Directors of the ARLDA, at its an- nual meeting in Anchorage during! October, 1947, directed me to con- tact the legal and enforcement de- partments ol the California State Bo: { Egualization (which reg- u the liquor industry through a license system similar to Alas- ka’s) and determine which fencuresi of their set-up could best be applied to our Territorial conditions. VOTE WAS TAKEN This was done and many suggest- H ed deletions and additions were hung] on the framework of defeated H.B. 51, Coples of this were submitted | to local liquor gealers organizations thrcughout the Territory and all features voted upon. The Attorney General, upon invi- tation, attended the November, 1948, Board of Directors meetings held in Juneau and presented his proposed bill. We were told that this whole ! new act was predicated upon the creation of a control board and that this feature would remain ini the bill. CONTROL BOARD While there were -something like a hundred requests for changes, clarifications, etc., the manner in which the control Loard would ke set up was of+- prime importance. The Board of Directors had numer- ous suggestions as to how a liquor control board might be created, but were informed by the Attorney Gen- eral that they were either inoper- able or contrary to accustomed pro- cedure. He explained at length how ALL Territorial Boards are set up and stated: “Inasmuch as all Board members are appointed by the Governor sub- | ject to confirmation by a majority of the Senate and House of the Al- aska Legislature in joint session as- sembied, it would be impractical to attempt to preovide in the proposed liquor law for any other method of appointing members of the liquor control board.” i NOTICE OF SEARING ON FINAL ACCOUNT NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Administrator of the Estate of John Helmer Johnson deceased, has filed his Final Report herein vraying for approval of the Ad- inistration of said Estate as re- ported in the Final Report and pe- titioning that the remainder of the Estate be decreed as follows: One-half thereof to Olaf Johm- son, brother of deceased, and the remaining one-half to be equaily divided between the following nam- ed nieces and nephews of deceas THOS.

First publication, Jan. 18, 1849, Last publication, Feb. 8, 1949. 1949 Attorney General Rivers was very cooperative in making suggested changes regarding regulatory meas- ures, but was adamant on the mat- ter of the toard and its general powers of procedure. DISAPPROVES SETUP So ... we have a contrel board 0 provided for and so authorized in H. B '33. As a trade group the ARLDA disapproves of such a set- up. First, it would most certainly Involve the industry in politics as it has in some states outside, and secondly it places in the hands of ohe man (with no assurance that he would be qualified) the authority to-sit. in judyment upon; amd deal out penalties to, licensees for any infraction of rules or regulations that the board might promulgate. This is something we feel should te | reserved, as at present, for our courts without the necessity of ap- peal. Most liquor dealers throughout the Territory have long realized that some form of enforcement is neces- sary to keep “borderline operators” from permitti practices which teflect upon the industry as & whole, but feel that there is nothing 8o basically wrong with the indus- try that it couldn’t be corrected by a little efficient policing. In all their suggested changes, many of which Mr. Rivers adopted in his final IdmIL. there was not one where the liquor dealers asked for a lessen- ing of restrictions. PATRONAGE MEASURE It is not true, as you may hear on the street, that the liquor dealers oppose the +hill because they don't want the strings tightened up on |them. One can hear anything "hcl wants to hear about this controver- sial measure. I've heard that it was an “industry bill,” and this in spite of the fact that we oppose it. Have also heard that it was sponsored by the Territorial Ministerial Asso- ciation ... . yet I saw a three-page letter from a branch of this organ- jzation that tore the till to pieces. I've heard that it was a “patronage measure,” and right here is where any number of names are mention- ed. I even got in on this one my- self, and haven't heard anything sillier for a long time. For person- al reasons I am not available for any year .around job, not even the one I now hold and for that reason asked for a leave of absence at our last board meeting. We even hear that. the pressure is being put on to pass the bill from Washington. Why? For what purpose? Of course everyone will draw his own conclusions . . . but the legis- lators will do the voting. I think I am speaking the mind of every! licensee in the Territory when I say that they hope these elected repre- sentatives of the people will see the evils that could result from such legislation and kill the bill rather than the industry which last year produced $1,156,505.14 of reve- nue for the Territory.

Back To Committee Soon after assembling for the afternoon session, the upper cham- bill back to committee for an | amendmant to define what consti- tutes a pioneer woman. The action came on a motion by Sen. Steve McCutcheon, of the | Thira Division, after Public Wel- | fare Director Russell Maynard not- ed on the witness stand that he did nct know who would qualify {for the home. The reason, he said, iwas the lack of a definition of a female pioneer. Maynard told the Senators that the Bill, as drawn, would open ti2 home also to Native women. He said that a detailed survey eight years ago showed there were less time earlier inythe day discussing ;' ber voted 11 to 5 to re-refer the | § than 10 women over 60 years of age who desired such a home. “I don’t know any at presenf who I can say definitely would want to enter,” he declared.
