 No Negative Side

Commenting on the IaCL there was no speaker present to represent the opposition to the measure, Delegate
 Sutherland asserted there is no neg
 ative side to the question. It seemed to be the principal issue before the legislature and the people of Alaska, he added He was glad, if it so re-

 the national limelight on the issue. It is the great issue of curbing bureaucracy, he said. This question will be a dominating factor in the next national campaign and those
 who believed otherwise had not fol- lowed the recent course of events
 All great statesmen everywhere are agreed in their views regarding the evils springing from the bureaucratic

 He quoted freely from Senator James A. Reed, Democrat of Miss ourD whom he termed Americas greatest orator." read extracts from

It was established on a basis identical with that in the Unit ed States and depended for enforce ment on a bureau. Recently Sweden \ repudated prohibition and went back | to the liquor business. The Swedes. Il he explained, are a very temperate Il people but are most liberty-loving Il and they took back the demon rum just to abolish the greater monster of bureaucracy which was fastened on them by prohibition And he as- I serted, so will this nation, if it ever does repudiate prohibition, it will be to rid itself of what Senotor Reed \ termed the spies, snoopers. etc., of

Controller Bill, argued the Delegate after passing discussion of the psy- chology of sycophancy. Bringing fellows, subservient to their super lors, favor-seeking, cruel to their in- feriors, as they fail to accept the gos- pei of self-government as revealed in he epoch-making measure fathered by Senator Steel.
 The ideal democratic government was set up in America long before the Revolution. It was brought over rom England and was that form which was found in the New England town meeting, MT.
