CLEANUP OF CITY

q shall start in to clean up Juneau just as soon as I have consulted with District Attorney Smiser re- garding the full scope of the previ- sions of the new liquor enforcement act under the constitutional amend ment," said Marshal J. M. Tanner today, commenting on the recommen- dation of the grand jury that the city council had reported it was un- able to draw an ordinance to enforce the law and that the matter be left in the hands of the United States Marshal.
 The cleanup operations of the Marshal's office will likely be ex- tended to lewd women. When we start to clean up the city we propose to go all the way through as far as possible" said MT. Tanner.
 q informed the grand jury that whenever the city council asked for the help of the marshals office or said it could not handle the situation, the marshaPs office was willing to step in. The new liquor law is dras- tic It makes it unlawful to handle anything containing one-half of one per cent alcohol Even the furniture used for illegal sales can be seized and sold and the places closed. In my opinion the city has full author ity to act under the law, but, as | have said, the marshars office is I,, fx AA n ntf dnDJdnc it does not want to assume the re- sponsibility."" . z, 5s.<s
 The question raised regarding the action of the city is through a sec ton of the Alaska code drawn by former Delegate James Wickersham which provides that no municipality in Alaska shall have any jurisdiction over the sale and manufacture Of liquor Some of the attorneys hold that all city charters are operative under the Alaska code.
 However, it is my opinion, not a legal opinion, but for what it is worth," said Marshal Tanner, "that the congressional act nullifies and supercedes the Territorial act. Of one thing I am certain and that is that under the 1919 Territorial act, session laws. chapter 20, page A, any city council in Alaska is given full authority to regulate houses. of ill fame Any place used for immoral purposes can be declared nuisance. and the property can be seized and sold. Under the act any citizen or officer can make complaint, and certainly under the meaning of the act the city itself through the elect ed representatives of the citizens can make complaint to the district attorney"

THE ESTIMATED INCREASE IN POPULATION Is Il MILLION
IN THE DECADE - 81


Washington, July 27.-Unless
Amembership Of the House is IN
creased from 435 to at least 500
to meet the increased population
shown by the 1920 census, 10
states will lose one or more rep
resentatives, according to Repre-.
.ntatlve Siegel, Of New York,
chairman Of the census committee
which will frame the new Appor-
tionment Bill. Those states are:
Indiana, Iowa, and Missouri,
which will lose two congressman
each; and Illinois Kentucky,
Maine, Maryland, Nebraska, ver-
mona and Virginia, which will
lose one congressman each.
Mr.. SSiegal explains that If the
House membership is retained at
it's present figure it will be nee
essary to increase the population
basis in each congressional dis
trict beyond the 211, 900 or major
portion thereof now fixed. II
this is done he says, the 10 states
-n>lped will lose one or more of
the present districts because
their populations have not in
creased in proportion to those Of
other states.
On the basis Of the estimated
population of 106,00O,0OO for the
whole country in 1920, an Increase
of approximately 100000 IN
10 years, Mr.. Siegel says IS or
&c new seats in the House must
be created if the 10 states are 10
retain their present numerical
representation. While precedent
warrants the increase, Mr. Siegal
declares there is strong opposition
to it on the part Of some Of the
present representatives, while 9th
Eers favor reduction to as few az
800 members.
Mr.. .Siegel expects the work of
framing the new apportionment
bill in accord with the new pop
ulation to begin with the recon-
vening Of Cogress in December
and he anticipates that the meas-
ure will be passed early in 1921.
Every decade since 1870, with
tine single exception Of 1910, the
House membership has been en-
larged to keep pace with the
growing population. Now the
House floor is crowded when all
members are present; seats nearly
ELL the chamber the old indi-
lvidual desks have been discarded
and an increase in membership
probably will have to be solved
/ by narrowing the width Of the
seats.
Ten years ago the House mem
kership was increased from 391
to 435 on the basis Of a popula-
tion of 91,972,266 and the only
lexception to such pra4dure oc
lcured in 1870 when 10 congress
men were knocked out by the
apportionment, the membership
being fixed at 232 after having
been 242 for 10 years.
The last apportionment kept In
tact the numerical strength of all
ate delegations besides provid-
ing for certain increases, but
even then several congressional
districts fell short Of the maxi
mum hasis Of 211, 900 population.
