NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Wourth Avenue Bldg., Seattle, Wash. Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Friday, February 16, 1951 THE FIRST HURDLE A bill by Representative Glen D. Franklin has passed its first hurdle—approval by the House of Representatives. It now goes before the Senate. We believe it will be approved there, too. We think it not unprobable that the Finance Committee or other committees have made discoveries in the course of their work and would like to have a number of matters looked into more thoroughly. In a 60-day session, no committee of the Legislature can examine all the parts of our Territorial government that should have a check-up occasionally. That is proper work for an interim committee, such as Rep. Franklin’s bill screates. And if it passes that second hurdle, we are sure the third one—approval by the governor, will be easiest reers islature every ecutive agencies and shake them up. If they can find anything wrong, that is a useful service.” FREEDOM OF SPEECH? We don't know whether freedom of speech was denied Mark Jensen when the House of Representa- tives voted not to hear him on matters he wished to talk to the House about, but we do feel that he should be heard. The alleged fact that Mark was unable to con- vince a Grand Jury that it should bring in indict- ments, we believe, is of no consequence in this matter. That Mark has made some investigations has been pretty widely advertised. And evidently he has turned up some things he does not believe are right. The Legislature is not a court of law; it is a lawmaking body that corrects” existing evils by enacting applicable laws. If members are unwilling to have existing evils pointed out, there seems little possibility that we will have laws to correct those @vils. Hint for Legislature (Ketchikan News) There is a great deal of discussion in the Legis- lature about giving out favors to the Divisions which show by its census to have the most population. Third Division lawmakers are continually harping on this subject for various kinds of legislation. To our mind, the fair way, in case one Division should be favored abve another, is to base such con- sideration on the actual Territorial vote cast instead of census population. Under that rule, the First Division, having cast the largest vote would be en- titled to the most consideration. But the fair plan would be to consider each measure on its merits for the whole of Alaska re- gardless of factional divisional fights. For the benefit of legislators following is the census figures along with the actual vote. Division Civilian Pop. % 1st 27,543 2nd 11,820 3rd 45,647 13 4th 23,226 14.0 Thus it can be seen that the large population which the Third Division representatives are con- stantly flouting at this session is a non-voting popula- tion and ,without doubt a transient one drawn there by the war construction boom. It would be the height of foolishness to divide Terr. Vote 21.7 14.5 of all.

The Washington ‘Merry-Go-Round (Continued from Page One) to control commercial rents,” up the confidential memo. The memo then takes up each section of the proposed legislation, point by point as follows: “Title One—This title continues veterans, preference in the sale and rental of new housing accomo- dations. sums “Title Two—This title continues maximum rents on housing ac- commodations in areas now under control. If necessary to promote National Defense, the housing ex- pediter is authorized to recontrol any housing accommodations pre- viously decontrolled and to control those which were never under con- trol. Authority is also given to the housing expediter to decnmrcll housing accommodations when the demand for rental been reasonably met. housing has; Defense-Rental Areas “For housing accommodations in the defense-rental areas presently under control, the present maxi- mum rents prevail with direction to the housing expediter to make adjustments for increased costs of operation. For recontrol or new control, the housing expediter shall select a maximum rent date not earlier than July 1, 1950. The housing expediter is authorized to adjust any and all maximum rents to cure inequities and hardships. “The housing expediter is auth- orized to continue and to create local advisory boards in all areas to advise the housing expediter on all matters relating to rent con- trol.
