VELVET FOR BOUDOIR APPAREL;
PATTERNED CLOTH FOR COATS

VELVET, considered in days Of
yore as only seasonal fabric, pre-
sents itself as eligible for future all
the-year-round service. Not, however,
without good reason, for so exquisite
ly supple and sheerlike is modern vel
vet weave, its plea for recognition as
a desirable spring, summer, winter

hearty Endorsement of the mode.

Bells are rung in peals in the Brit

one of two cases in America and the
British dominions. On the European
continent they are simply clashed, so

diatonic scale, and are rung in that

ton at Juneau last week drew up a
resolution urging the establishment
of a government owned and con-
trolled institution in the Territory
CT Alaska for the, care of insane to
be ready for occupancy at the ex-
piration of the present ontract. 1t
also earnestly endorsed the COM
mendable efforts of the Governor
to bring about betterment of the
existing evils and pledged him the
utmost support Of the Pioneers.
The Alaska Native Brotherhood
several years ago adopted just such
a resolution urging care Of Alaskans
in Alaska instead of thru contract
system where by certain men in
Portland enrich themselves off of
Alaskans.

CONTR0LLERB|LL

The Controller Bill which is
meeting opposition from the reac-
tionary members of the Territorial
Legislature is a measure which pro-
vides for the creation of the Office
comptroller of the Territory, with
a term of four years at a salary of
$4,000. The first comptroller to
be elected by the present legislature
and his successor to be elected by
the electorate of Alaska. The bill
provides for the election of the
Territorial treasurer and makes GER
tain changes in the powers of the
Attorney General, mostly making
him directly responsible to the Ter
ritory direct instead of limiting his
powers to the will of the federal
governor.
Control Of purely territorial az
fairs to be in the hands of board
composed of the Comptroller, treas
urer and attorney general. All ter

Medical Assistance Refund
On Thursad afternoon, the Ways

a bill to reimburse the city of
Petersburg for some $4,000 which
had been expended to check a
smallpox epidemic which the city
stopped several years ago.
Valuable assistance was rendered
by Ralph Lomen who has had ex-
rerience along similar lines a num-
Der of years ago. The recommends
ton was unanimous and it is ex-
.pected that the bill will pass the
House and also the Senate.

Sidelights on
Legislature

I that OCCURS, it will be the Lomens
who will be hurt for that family
are hanging on only thru the
strength of the old gentlemen
I.oman now IA years old. There
Is also a possibility that the Sheldon
Tramway project will also be killed
for that project cannot get thru
Congress without Dan Sutherland
aid. If he continues to support that
project, it will only be thru the
friendship of Richard Sundquist
and Sutherland; for Sundquist is
he only man from the Nome
Division who is supporting Suther-
lands policies and working with
Sutherland friends.
Proportional Representative
In fact, the attitude of the Lo-
men faction seems to invite the IS
sue of PROPORTIONAL REP
PRESENTATION. 1t is believed
that the Sutherland party will de-
mand that the sparsely settled
Nome Division be deprived of it's
equal power in the legislature. 1t
is ridiculous to talk about rep
resentative government when Nome
with 900 votes can have equal rep
resentation with the First Division
with it's 5000 votes.
The Third Division is ready to
join with the First in demanding
that this injustice be ended. The
attitude seems to be "Why should
the Lomen family (thea bosses of
Money have the same power in the
Legislature with the 10000 voters
in the other two divisions?"

Representative William L. Paul

the Territorial Fish Commission,
but providing that new Fish Com
mission of three members shall be
elected to serve without pay for
two-year periods and for a secre-
tary to be employed at a salary not
70 exceed $3.50 per month. The first
commissioner, elected by this Legis-
laflre to serve until March 1929;
the first elective commission to be
chosen at the general election in
1928.
The bill further provides that the
Commission shall be official advis-
or for the people of the Territory
to the Secretary of Commerce on
the subject of fisheries" The Com
mission is empowered to hold hear
ings and Investigations and to at
tend hearings held by the Depart
ment of Commerce or the Bureau
of Fisheries Or by any other COM
laittee Of either House of Congress,
OR to send a delegate to such meet
ings. 1t is AUTHORIZE to carry on
all operations ordered by the Legis-
lature.
While attending official business.
the Commissioners are to receive
SO per day in lieu of salary, and
actual travelling expenses when alb
sent from the regular place of re-
sidence but not in excess o f$7 per
lay for such expenses.

Auxiliary throughout the world are
giving active support to American

Auxiliary units are co-ordinating
their efforts with Legion posts in
civic enterprises of all kinds and
in many instances are initiating en-
terprises which especially call for
the work of women, Mrs. Hinder
mann said.
Some of the community better
ment activities in which Auxiliary
units are participating are: Better
ment of health conditions through
Improvement of sanitary conditions,

Graduated Tax

The tax on fish was provided for
in bill by Mr.. Paul. The basic
tax on the different kinds Of gear
was as follows; Seines $25; gill
nets $40; traps 5000. No further
rax is to be charged until $4,000
fish have been caught, then Ii per
fish is charge till $4,000 is reached;
the 2kf each till 100000 is reach
ed; than So over that amount.
The big trapmen were hopping
mad. They had hoped that a
basic tax of $1,000 would be made
IN the hope that all the little traps
would be stopped.
Fish Bill
Several fish bill have been in
troduced by members of the first
Division. Mr.. Paul's proposal for

sorting commission of four, one
from each division, headed by the
governor. This was defeated.

therefore asked to have the bill
recommitted for this amendment.

THE BRAND

The BRAND
The lineup of the legislators vic
carry the Joe Murray brand on their
backs was clearly brought out this
week. The tsign" came to light III
the fight over the motion to cen
sure Thomas Gaffney made by MIR,
Ross.
!, The story was printed by the Ju-
reau Empire even tho their report
er had agreed not to print it for
fear that the public might not I'M
derstand
On Tuesday night there was an
open meeting by the Committee on
Labor to consider the Workman's
Compensation Bill. There appeared
The attorneys for he big mines and
! canneries, the two Hellanthals, Bert
Faulkner, r. E Robertson and the
agent for the Kennecot Copper Cor
poration to oppose the bill.
Mr.. Gaffney, as chairman, called
On Mr. Faulkner to open the discus
sion Mr., HelIentha1 spoke and
said that he thought the "propU4
aent' of the bill should make the
first statement. Gaffney fell right
| in with the the suggestion" of the
corporation lawyer and asked for
some speaker on the side of the
bill. No one answered altho William
L. Paul, the author of the bill
vas present. Jack Hellenthal then
spoke for two house repeating in
large part his speech of several
Years ago.
After this occurred, Mr.. Paul ask
ed for ten minutes and Mr.. Gaffnev
refused saying "You have had
your chance. You will not speak
until everybody else who is against
the bill has had a chance to talk"
This procedure astonished the en-
tire audience. Never before has
any member of the Legislature been
denied right to speak before q
committee. The chairmans man
ner was very insulting
When James Daily, of the Ken
necott Copper Co., was called to
speak, he had an extended argu-
rlent with the chairman before Mr..
Gaffney was persuaded to say to
Mr.. Paul; "You may speak, Mr..
Paul, under these conditions" Mr..
Paul then answered.; I'm view of
the gratuitous insult offered ME
l will not speak on the bill" He
then went on and informed Gaffncy
that he had no right to refuse the
floor to any member of the House.
The next morning Mr.. Ross of!
fered the motion to censure Mr.
Gaffeny He later withdrew the
motion when Mr. Gaffney had not
the backbone to stand up to his
actions.
At the end of the evenings hear
| ing, Senator Jensen and Rep. Ralph
Lomen came down from the gal
;ery and congratulated Mr.. Gaffney
upon his flair" rulings and con-
duct of the meeting So much for
Jensen, who considers himself of
''delegate'' size, and who has been
building his lenses at the expense
OF the game commission.
