FEW BILLS MARK
 LEGISLATIVE SESSION

Winning the commendation of all and sundry by doing about as little as is possible for a legislative body to do and not relapse into utter desuetude, the Territorial leg Iislature is continuing to be in marked contrast with it's pred lecessors, most of which have displayed an almost apprehen- sive eagerness to cram the legislative mill with legal en- actments from the opening hours of their sessions to the last moment of grace allowed by law.
 Up to March 24th, the 22nd day of the session, but 26 measures, including the defici- ency appropriation bills had been presented in the lower house, while less than a dozen had made their appearance in the Senate. An interesting feature of the limited array .of measures is that the great .er portion are not aimed at the creation of new laws but rath- CT to the modification and im- provement of existing enact ments. As witness the follow ing:
 Repeal of the law enacted by the last legislature providing for a preferential vote for Gov ernor of Alaska is the aim of a House bill by Rep. H. G. Wat son, Fairbanks.
 A senate bill, by Dunn and Brown, would abolish the off, flee of Territorial Highway Engineer, created by the 1923 session and now held by R. J. Sommers, until such time% as the Federal Highway Act is extended to Alaska.
 A Senate bill, by Diamond, Valdez, amends the Territorial Board of Accountancy Act in three minor particulars, cloth ing the governor with power to appoint the board, pre- scribess the form of examinat- ion and reduces the applicat- ion fee from $1O0 to $25.
 A Senate bill, presented by Senator Aldrich by request, was prepared by the Ketchi- kan Chamber of Commerce. It defines the powers of munich pal governments as to public ways, places and sewers; pro- vides for local improvement assessments by general ordi- nance, for street improvements charging the cost of such inn provements against property abutting thereon and the cost of street functions, crossings and sewer functions against the city as a whole; requires the making of plans for such proposed improvements and their legal publication with hearings to be made.
 A House bill, by Paul, Ketch- ikan, amends Compiled Laws of Alaska by adding a clause exempting from execution all fishing appliances not over $1, ,000 in value when habitu- ally used by a debtor for earn ing his living and also all his boats habitually used for such purpose of value not exceed ing $2,000. These are in addit- ion to the present statutory provisions.
 Rep. Paul, also introduced a hil. to regulate fish traps by means of taxation. Tax levies on various types of fish caught in traps are also provided by the same measure. The bill al- so requires that a license be issued by the Territorial Treas urer before any fish traps can be installed, provides a pen alty of $500 per day for each day a trap is maintained with out such license and an addit- ional penalty of 30 days im- prisonment. Trap operators are also required to keep perma- nent records of traps and make weekly reports to the Territor-

 l A House Ways and Means l Committee bill carries $2,0O0 for a deficiency in the fund
 for the support of schools out
 side incorporated school dis itricts or incorporated towns. This bill passed the Senate, lthe only measure, aside from appropriation bll3, to pass the
 upper house up to March 24th. A House Laws Committee bill
 provides for a new probate
 code. It is understood to have been prepared by Attorney
 General Rustgard for submis- sion to the legislatue two ! years ago.
 :; A House bill, by Paul, pro- vides that members of the
 legislature during the time for
 which they are elected shall
 be ineligible for any office or
 position "for which the salary
 or remuneration is paid out of
 funds belonging to the Terri
 tory"
 A House bill, by Elliot, Nome,
 amends Compiled Laws of
 Alaska relating to embez le-
 ment and provides p naltic therefor.

 dians, reduction O. present pensions to both 1n and

 Grier. The bill contem~letes Ithe resumption of offioial nub- ilicity on an enlarged sca'e
 The appointments are to be made by the governor with the latter also a member of the board.
 The measure also provides for
 the employment Of a Dire tor of Publicity at a salary not to
 exceed $5,000 per year, with necessary expenses. Official publicity of the same character
 as the present measure cnn- ltemplates was carried on by ithe Territory for several years
 but was discontinued in 1921.
 A House bill by Grier is aim ed at strengthening the 19 3
 law for the encouragement and protection of fur farmers. Rep. Grier is also the author of an- other bill providing for Terr- Iitorial aid to agricultural, in-
 dustrial and livestock fairs in the Territory and doubling the financial aid extended under the present law, which limits such assistance to S1,000 for teach division for any single year. It also authorizes the Governor to collect and ship for exhibition outside of the Territory displays of Alaska produce, mining and manu- fractures, also such other exhib- its as he may consider advis- able.
 Two memorials have been passed by both houses; one by Jensen, of Nome, urging the establishment of air mail ser vice winter and summer on all principal mail routes north and jwest of Fairbanks: the other a Senate measure by Aldrich asking for harbor improve ments at the mouth of Ketch- Iikan Creek.
 A bitter fight threatens over the Paul bills providing for the abolition of the Territorial Fish Commission and the fish
 hatcheries. The House has summoned the members of the Commission to appear before the House committee on fish and fisheries.
 The House has also request toA proCiI Ionf Cboy y1oc E pu1> ;,

Friends Of Watts Offer to AID.
Accused viii Be
Arraigned

Although the friends Of Charles
Newman Watts, forty-five, an en-
ploye OF the District government
for the past twenty-five years, who
was arrested yesterday on a forgery
charge, have expressed their inten.
ton OF making good the loss of the
complaining witness, Watts will be
araigned Tuesday in Police Court.
Watts has been a clerk in the
trees and parking division for years.
His arrest by Headquarters De.
tectives James Springman and
George Darneil followed a com.
plant registered by Frank Nichters
OF AZ Twelfth street southeast.
who declares that his signature to
a check sent to Watts division, was
copied and put on another check.
Watts was released on bond Of
$500 after a handwriting expert had
been called in and declared that the
writing of the accused resembled
the handwriting on Nichter's check.
Police say they have no fear Of
other forged checks showing up
with taxpayers names used, but in.
tend TO make a thorough investigas
ton.
Clifford Lanham, chief Of the
division, said that Watts had not
been suspended, but that the matter
would be taken UP today.
