Paul W. Alex: That was the sum and substance of the entire session in Washington. Even the Alaska Salmon' In- dustry, ball carrier for the opposition and allegedly a perpetual opponent against statehood, is now on the record of favoring statehood but under a more favorable bill than 331. Mr. Davis confirmed indications in press reports that the majority of the committeemen had become convinced that Alaska should not have statehood under the bill that was before Congress. Even Governor Gruening admitted that it could be a better bill. There will be those who will bemoan the fact that we have lost another opportunity at statehood. They will castigate the opponents who so ably pointed out that 331 was a bill to create a “pauper” state but in the final analysis all of the residents of this future state will be thankful that 331 did not pass. It would have made Alaska a state in name but not in sub- stance because Alaska would have had no additional potential resources upon which to exert a tax. ,Now that there is a general acquiesance to state- hood the only stumbling block now is for factions that LAWS as embarked upon vers what a tough ; ander, the Toledo | the Sherman Anti-Trust law and the Clayton Act were passed. How- ever, under the methods of the New Deal, these laws have become obscure and confusing. Dr. Harry Aubrey Toulman, Jr. whose book, “The Anti-Trust Lgws ~Of the United States,” is regarded by many as a standard work, says: “Our Anti-Trust laws are the most dangerous to our Democracy that any nation has ever enacted in all history. For, under ‘this legal cloak, it would be possible for a limited group of men, five in number, appointed for life, to utilize the broad provisions of these laws to change the entire aspect of our society, converting it from a Democracy to a Fascist state, to Socialism, to a Welfare state, to a Police state, or to Communism. “It can be done legally. The broad charter of the 'Anti-Trust laws is so general in character, so and sC ® ee0cccccs Judge who heads the association’s committee dealing with the problem, points out that legislators have been trying since 1884 to get uniform divorce laws by con- stitutional amendments and meeting with very little success. Judge Alexander says that the Bar Association is not trying to get a “standard” divorce law, but does hope to achieve a good working divorce model. The present method of dispensing divorce, he says, is like ' permitting a sick man to diagnose his illnes and were split over 331 to join forces and insist on an sweeping in | enbling act that will bring the proper benefits to the | citizens of the future state. damental “No considerable population has ever been ruled tion to the majority conception, closely parallel in language to fun- constitutional that it gives complete liberty of ac- provisions of the Supreme | for more than 75 years by a dictatorship,” declares a Court. “l';le broad chulrtcr of lhnfli- riter, W ets about hell. ness and commercial regulation )““m‘ g possible under these laws, and the : s several dozen satellite statutes 1t is highly gratifying to note that the gqvemmem make it possible to regiment busi- |4s throwing monkey wrenches into the remains of the negs industry and commerce, as old Pendergast machine. well as the professions, labor, in- prescribe his own remedy.

Grundyism got a terrific jolt, however, when a Democrat, George Earle, was swept into office in 1934 and when the secretary of the United Mine Workers, Tom Ken- nedy, became lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania. This was the first Democratic regime to rule rock-ribbed Penn- sylvania in half a century, and it put across sweeping social and ec- onomic reforms. Significantly, Re- publican legislatures which follow- ed did not remove any of those reforms.
