Beer Testimony Presented
 B Before Committee Proposed Revenue

WASHINGTON, Dec. B. Attorney General William D. Mitchell has a dvis e d Con- gress to change the Prohibi- tion laws quickly if it is go- ing to change them at all. This advice was given during the course of the hearing in which brewers recommended legalizing of 3.2 per cent beer.
 Keep Respect for Laws
 The Attorney General did not express any preference, merely saying in his annual report that changes, if any, should be made quickly as possible and through amend ment of a substantive law" to prevent a breakdown in the respect for the enforce ment of laws.
 Estimated Revenue
 Beer testimony was given before the House Ways and Means Com- mittee by brewer representative who said $5 tax per barrel would yield an estimated Government revenue of $200,00000O annually, and added that $36OO00,000 would be spent to rehabilitate the brew cries and 300,OO0 men would be given work.
 Hands Off

CHAMBER WANTS
 REPEAL OF AIS.
 30 NE DRY LAW
Passes Re- olutions on Three Acts-Eight Nom-
 mated for Directors

By resolutions adopted by the Chamber of Commerce today with out a dissenting vote, Delegate Wickersham is urged to use every effort to obtain passage of legis- lation by Congress to validate three laws passed by the 1881 Alaska Legislature, including the 1881 re- pealing the Alaska Bone Dry Law.
 The other two laws are: To repeal the placer mining act of Congress of August, 1912, and to legalize absentee voting for Alas kans. The resolutions were adopt ed as submitted to the Board of Directors, which approved them, by the Legislative Committee.
 Expect Early Hearing
 Delegate Wickersham introduced bill last winter to validate the repeal of the Alaska Bone Dry Law. Hearings were held before the House Committee on Territor- ies at which Bishop James Cannon Jr., and other dry leaders appear ed in protest. The Committee was not then inclined to report the measure favorably. It was sug- gested to the Delegate it might be better to hold off on the mat ter until the short session, which convened last Monday, and then seek fresh hearing.
 Prior to his departure from Ju- neau last month, Delegate Wick ersham said he expected to re- open the subject and would use every effort to get the Act re- pealed before this Congress ex- pires on March 4. The resolution adopted by the Chamber today is designed to support him in that effort.
 1 General Law Applicable In 1912, Congress, on petitions from Alaska, put limit on stalk ing of placer ground in the Ter ritory considerably below that oi the general mining laws of the United States. That law has been in effect here ever since.
 Last year the Alaska Legisla ture repealed the Congressional Act and supporting the Territorial laws. Its repeal of the Federal statute does not become effective however until Congress Approves the act.

CHAMBER URG GES ALASKA RIVERS, HARB0RS DIST.
Asks Delegate Wickersham to Seek Restoration of
 Former Machinery

Declaring that great difficulty will be experienced in administer ing the work of the Rivers and Harbors Board in Alaska" through the Seattle district, the Chamber of Commerce today called upon Delegate Wickersham to urge the War Department to re-establish the Alaska District of that Board, or, at least, establish a sub-district in the Territory to deal directly with matters arising in the Terri tory.
 The Chamber approved report to that end submitted by the Leg islative committee, H. L. Faulkner, Chairman. and embodied it in a communication to the Delegate.
 Vast CcastIine Troublesome
 The Chamber said much of the difficulty ahead would arise from the vast coastline of some 25.00O miles over which was scattered various functions of the Board, involving a work of mo great inn portance. ;. that does not effect the general policy of the War De- 1 partment with reference to the country as whole; but it is of great importance to persons and corporations in Alaska requiring permits from the War Depart ment for the construction and maintenance of structures, etc, ir the waters of the Territory" !! It is illegal to build any struc- ture in any of the waters of the United States without such per init first having been obtained and if a resident desires to con- struct a fish trap, wharf, ware house or other structure, or tt dispose of in the waters, tailings or waste rock from the operation of mines, the consent of the War Department is required; and, un- der the regulations of that De partment a permit must be op- tained," it was pointed out.
 Sits Here Logical
 Juneau, as Territorial capita and center of that government and as the site of the Alaska Ju- neau mine which desposits it! tailings and waste rock in tide waters adjacent to the town, i' the logical point for the River! and Harbors administration in tht north it was declared.
 Continuing, the Chamber said
 "In regulating fish traps the Wal Department has a rule that Ter ritorial license must be obtained from the Territorial Treasurer be fore an application for a permi will be entertained by the Wa Department. Therefore it is nee essary for an applicant for fisl trap to first pay a license fee t the Territory and procure evi dence of such fact from the Ter ritorial Treasurer before he ma. apply for a permit to maintain his trap.

RATES TO BE REDUCED OVER

Passenger and Freight Tar ifs Authorized to

WILBUR INSTRUCTS
 GEN. MGR. OHLSON
Passenger Fares to Come Down to Six Cents from
 Present Ten Cents

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Dec. B. Acting on recommendation of Otto F. Ohlson, General Manager, Sec retary of Interior Wilbur has au- thorized restoring of the former six cent Ssenger fare on the Alaska Railroad and also grants permission for freight rate adjustments.
 Rate Changes
 The instructions regarding the freight rate changes said the time for correction of any inequalities of excessive rates, including a reasonable reduction on cement, lumber and other building mat erials, explosives and other con- modities, is when in the judgement of the General Manager, existing rates have a tendency to restrict development in the railroad ter ritory"
 Coming This Tontn
 General Manager Ohlson an- nounced he will endeavor to make reduced passenger rates effective about the middle of December.
 The Secretary of Interior said he hoped the reduced rates vii, increase the passenger and freight business. He said he believed re- duction from 10 cents miie tht passenger rate now, would stimu. late travel during the summer months, which last season was largely diverted over the Richard son Highway.
