STILL BONE DRY

In Alaska, as throughout the bone dry states of the Union, some requests for information have been received by officials as to whether the bone-dry law still holds, or whether the regu- lations provided by the constitutional amendment and the enforcement act in connection herewith hold Some believed that the constitutional amend nent would supersede the territorial bone-dry law, which would make it possible to obtain intoxicating liquors at pharmacies upon prescriptions of physicians. This is in error, however, as the constitutional amendment will permit such licenses only in the states which did not pass prohibitory or bone-dry regulations
 In the states where there was no prohibition when the constitutional amendment became effective, it is permissible for the residents to have intoxicants in their home for their own use. But in Alaska the strict bone-dry law still holds, making it an effense for anyone to have it in his possession for any purpose whatever.
 Officials hold that the state legisla- tive bodies have the authority to pass such additional restrictive laws as they see it, so long as they do not ef- feet the constitutional amendment, and these bone-dry laws are consider, cd aids and not inconsistencies with the Eighteenth amendment

POST THE sLACkERs

Alien slackers who renounced their American citizenship rather than fight are looking overseas for help. The Norwegian and Swedish governments have protested to the state depart nent against deportation which the American Legion demands.
 This protest followed the disclosure made by the American Legion Week. 1y, in an issue of a recent date, as to g the number and location of these first-paper slackers This record, which had not previously been given to the public, was read from the Weekly into the Congressional Record and resulted in stimulating favorable action of the Lufkin bill, providing deportation.
 The protesting governments plead cd treaty rights. But it is clearly the right of our government to deport per- sons who are "inimica1 to the public welfare,'' which designation fits the first-paper slackers like a glove.
 Protests must not be needed, says the American Legion Weekly The first-paper stacker must go In taking that action we may we'll sympathize with ths protesting governments. Un- der similar circumstances we would protest against such cattle being ship ped back to our shores.
 While alien slackers who renounced tEeir American citizenship to escane military service have been listed and classified and their deportation will be insisted upon by the American Le- zion, other varieties of alien slackers must not be lost sight of It possibly is not practicable to deport them all. Their numbers reach into the tens of thousands, and in many instances they are protected by treaty rights. Since ttey never swore allegiance to the United States, their conduct was some what less reprehensible than that of cur own American slackers. Certainly they are not to be compared with the first-paper slackers, who are the most undesirable class next to alien ene- nies-and they must go.
 But there is a stigma upon the whole tribe of alien slackers. In deporting, tho first-paper slackers we must mete out proportionate punishment to the others.
 The Lufkin bill GIL R. 9416), now before Congress, in addition to deport- ing the first-paper slackers, would deny citizenship to the others for a period of five years. This is made 3 as they are permitted

to enjoy the benefits of living in Am erica, withholding of citizenship would concern them very little. The law should provide that their names be listed and the lists published and posted in the communities wherein they live; and they should be totally disqualified for citizenship. This as minimum penalty. The Legion s views in this respect have been tfans- mitted to Congress through the legis- Iative committee.

neau Emplre.
 The hot-stove navigators are still busy discussing the reported cutting off of the distillate supply in Alaska. Some say that it is just as cheap to burn gasoline as distillate, owing to the fact that more energy is devel- oped by gasoline. One thing that we wheel turns easier on gasoline than on distillate, If it does, we are for it-Douglas News
 Watersheds statement that he from Alaska at the next election may be accepted at it's face value at this time. However, in the ten months in- tervening between now and next Mo- vember he may find it convenient to change his mind again. It wouldn't be the first time in the political his tory of Alaska that such a thing had appened.-Fairbank Citizen.
 The Nenana News says the Nenana Commercial Club is discussing mak- ing an effort to secure raise in wag- es for the interior employees of the Alaskan Engineering Commission. It is barely possible that official Wash ington will look on the source as prejudice. It is highly probable that the railroad employees are underpaid, most government employees are. Re- presentations by the workers, them selves, however, would be more ef- fective than those coming from other nterests.-Fairbanks Citizen.
