ACTION ON HIS

Senate Passes Measurable.
bate on Shipping Bill Cur
tailed in Lower House

Delegate George B. Grigsby's fight
for the repeal of the S0-Rod Strip
law was entirely successful according
to advices received in town today.
The Senate acted on the measure
at the last hour, passed it exactly
as passed by the House and the bill
has gone to the President for sigma
tureThis ends a fight which has been
waged before Congress since the late
Charles A. Sulzer first represented
Alaska at the National capital, a
bill similar to one just passed being
introduced by him at the request of
number of homesteaders in the
Tanana Valley district.
Delegate Grigsbys attempt to pre-
vent the Canadian steamship lines
from being legislated out of Alaska
, rattle by the provisions of the Mer-
chant Marine bill was only partially
successful He was hampered by the
refusal of the House of Represen-
tatives' majority leaders to grant him
time to oppose it on the floor of the
House. He did succeed, however, in
getting two amendments adopted, one
eliminating the Yukon River trans
portation companies from the pro
visions of the bill after the compile
ton of the Alaska Railroad, and the
other striking out the clause limit
ing the power of the Shipping Board
to sell vessels to be operated only
to ports having rail connections. The
measure was passed practically with
out debate.

cooperation should be encouraged
as an effective means of curbine

Public Credit Control
Control of credit capital by those
whose chief interest is the accumu

in the open door for profiteering. We

administered by voluntary and co
operative methods.
