JOSEPH MURRAY

Many look upon him affec- tiOnately and consider 14i1m the Dean of the House, and really thlnk of Representative Murray as some "big man" But the knowing ones in Juneau, who have seen the legislators come and go, know that in reality Joe is considerable of a false alarm. He doesn't bother much about general legislation and gives virtually no study or thot to most bills. But when it is some thing that the legal profession wants to put over or a measure that affects the Governors pow CT. then Joe gets quite worked up in 7Is own oratOrical way. He has the advantage of a strong voice, but his reasoning power is not always the logical kind that sWays colleagues. That, howev- CT, is not requisite very often.

ANDY MILAN

Having had previous eXperi- ence in the House, Representa- tive Nylan was equipped to take a leading place in the councils of the body of which he was a conscientious and courageous member. But he was given lit tie opportunity to shine, being placed on committees where his counsel was of the minority kind. AlthO entitled to 8 place on t.Ae important Ways and M ans Committee, he was shunted aside and two new, but piable, members from the Se- cond Division were given COnSid- eration. It was known that they could work harmOniOuSIy with Mr. ShattuCk, the Democratic Chairman. AlthO everybody lik- ed Andy, possibly his greatest handicap was the fact that he favored the principles of Q Board of Control bill He was one Of the few who had the courage to stand up against a safe majority of faWners who did not want to see the Governor shorn of any of his prerOgativeS, when the opportunity was given to have the Territorial duties perform ed by Territorial residents and officials. Andy Nylan was pre- pared to render good service to the Second Division but his col leagues from the North were not of the type to work with him.

Being 8 banker, he should know what the trouble with Alaska is-Why our white popu- lation has decreased almost one thousand each year for twenty years. And yet, lis sole claim to distinction is thiS-he claims credit for giving the Federal Su- pervising Engineer (appo1nted from Washington $20,00O for work that should be done by the Territory itself. MT. TarWater feels very keen disappointment because Senator Sundquis would not allow him to give this federal official $40,000.
 The matter of the general failure to give Alaska a more democratic system of govern ment has not disturbed his continuity; nor does TarWater feel that our continued loss of white population is a question to bother a statesman. But tIsat failure to give a federal official another ,000-that is a fail ure to make banking statesmen swear. Shades of Alexander Hamilton
 MT. TarWater had such close sympathetic relations with Joe Murray and Frank Foster that the Siamese twins cease to be a wonder. He carried out their wishes. But he really enjoyed this his first legislative experi- ence and he also had a very pleasant vacation being for sixty days immune from arrest,

tenn. The people of the Third Division, especially the small fishing villages of the West, would find out that his pre-elec- tiOn promises are pure bunk, and that when in the legislature, Frank serves lis real masters.
 He takes care of his cannery clients (perhaps by way of prov ing to them that he is a real friend) under the guise of keep ing down taxes" by which he means cannery taxes. But that did not deter him from propoS- ing a head tax of $500 (similar to the school tax and additional to it) from which to pay the pi- Oneers. Lay it on the poor resi- dents," says Frank Foster, "but don't discourage (foreign) cap ital."
 Fosters cutting of appropria- tiOnS was a mere pretense for in all cases, t,I2y were promptly raised.
 On committee appointments, Frank demanded and was made chairman of the Fisheries Com mittee. Lacking an opportunity to do something "big" for his friends, he joined with Repre- sentative Ziegler and together they led the successful attack on the bill to cOmpell sanitation and cleanliness in all canneries.
 Foster also joined the major ity who defeated MT. McCor- mick's bill to tax fish traps ac- cording to their catch, and so t-la Little Trap Man must pay virtually the same tax as the enormous trap owner.
 It is not too much to say that Frank Foster is not independ- cnt as he wishes to believe but across his broad back you will find the brand of his boss, namely, Joe Murray.
