WE SHY AT "MODEL LAWS"

A wasbinpton D G. news story, appearing re- gently in The Empire, regarding the status o1 hquo traffic after repeal said among other things
 In Federal districts, such as the District
 of Columbia Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rlco'
 the Virgin Islands and the Canal Zone the
 vostead Act will remain in force pending
 action by Congress, which is expected to
 enact a model liquor law to apply to these
 Federal districts at the session whlcn meels
 in January
 That is not the sort of liquor legislaeioh 'ha' Alaskans want We have had experience with some of the model" laws passed by Congress. Seldom oo they work as their sponsors desire and expect them +o do The coal and oil lands leasing acts are exampes of such legislation but they are ll-suteo to Alaskan conditions and it is generally admitted bv informed authorities they will have to be raoca changed if there is to be any real development of those resources here. There nave been o'iiei' All of them have been enacted with the pest hIeh- lions in the world but few if any of them have been practicable due to lack of knowledge o1 conolIlois'
 Alaskans usually shy at the mention oi mooei 1eoisaton for them by Congress This is particularly SD in the case of liquor laws since the Alaska Bone Dry Law was deal out to That one experience in louor legislaton will satisfy us for long time in come What we want and Delegate Dmond IS nrenarinp to make an effort to get It TOT us, IS the power to make own liquor law, to contro and regulate the traffic through the Alaska Leglsia ture which is in much better position to ao IL saney and reasonably than Congress can hope to do model" statute applying to the District of Co- lumbia with it's congested population would not h' in here at all nor would one that would be WorK- able in Alaska be suited to the District Of Columbia The same is true as to Hawaii and the other districts mentioned.
 We hope that Congress will not insist on any s,,ch policy as is indicated, but will give each oi the districts mentioned enough authority to act TOT themselves

(Anchorage Times.)


 Governor John w. Troy is enroute to washing ton. He goes to confer with Secretary Of the ln- terior Ickes and other Federal department heads

 Secretary Ickes also is the Administrator oi Public Works of the nation Alaska looks to the man in this responsible double role for great portion of the aid she is entitled to under the usual administrative process and under the NRA program.
 Delegate Dmond is camping in Washington watching the interests of the Territory With keen eye But the Secretary wants more direct n- formation. In addition to the Governor as Executive Officer of many Federal functions within the Terri tory the Secretary also will have the advice and cooperation of Dr. Philip s. Smith, newly appointed Federal Public Works Representative within the Territory.
 The Governor will have some knotty problems Ito thresh out with MT. Ickes. In this he and the others working for the welfare of Alaska will need the cooperation of all Alaskans.
 It behooves every Alaska rganization-Chambers of Commerce-and others, to be alert to Loyalty support the Governor, the Delegate and Dr. Smith at Washington-and not go to sleep on the job
 Matters vital to Alaska will be passed upon in Washington this winter. Alaskans will help them selves nightly by being vgilant in their contacts and recommendations

special support among wage earn CTS The figures seem to show that there has been typical up- rising of the so-called average man" against bad governent, high taxes and favoritism, rather than an expression of deeper socia, discontent.
 It remains to be seen whether Fusion can turn, what is in ap- pearance an ordinary victory for reform" and good government, into something more lasting and significant. Honest government is badly needed in New York, but honest government is not enough The city will tire of merely hon est government, as it has in the past. if along with the honesty there is not a persistent and sue cessful effort to prove to the peo- ple that a really good municipal government is able to raise the general standard of life.

The Ne,U York Election

Fusion has done very well but it's victory is by no means com- plete. New York City has a Fed eral form of government; by elect ing the Mayor, the Comptroller and the President of the Board of Aldermen, Fusion has captured three out of the five boroughs. But it has lost in Manhattan and in the Bronx and in the county elections, involving the important offices of District Attorney.
 This means that on all questions of general policy Fusion is in con- trol. There is here, of course, great gain. Fusion will make the budgets, and take charge Of trans it policy, franchises, contracts, the social service, education, the police. But, having failed to elect It's District Attorneys, it will not con- trol the whole machinery of law enforcement. This may prove to be a serious handicap when Flu sion goes to war against racket eering.
 The election turned out to be crushing defeat for Tammany Hall as the leader of the Democratic party in New York City But the Tammany organization is such, in it's own domain on Manhattan 1s- land did astonishingly well. It failed to carry Manhattan for Mayor OBrien, but it gave the Mayor 37 per cent of the vote. He boiled only 26 per cent in Brook lyn and Richmond, "A per cent ln the Bronx, B per cent in Queens. Tammany elected it's Borough President in Manhattan, it's Dls- trict Attorney, and other minor officials. It was in Brooklyn, above all, that the regular Demo- cratic organization was overwhelm- ed; in other words, it was Tam many's ally, the McCooey organ ization, rather than Tammany It. self that cracked up seriously. It has been by means Of the al Hence with McCooey in Brooklyn that Tammany in Manhattan mas dominated the city The empire of Tammany has been destroyed, but the basic Tammany orgam- zation has not been.
 On the other hand, the attempt by MT. Farley and by MT. Flynn of the Bronx to seize the control of the city-wide organization fall ed completely. The Mckee candl- dates made a poor showing, al though the local Flynn candidates in the Bronx were successful. Thus the upshot seems to be something like this: New York City is still an overwhelming Democratic city. Sixty per cent of the vote went to Democratic organization candl- dates. Fusion, made up of Re- publicans and independents, has
 
 only 40 per cent of the electorate. There is, however civil war With in the Democratic organization. In this war, Messrs. Flynn, Farley and Mckee are strongly entrench- ed in the Bronx. Tammany IS strongly entrenched in Manhat- tan. the other boroughs represent the territory that neither con- trols, and that somebody must con- trol if he is to reorganlze the Democrats in New York.
 The distribution of the vote 1n- dicates rather strongly that the Fusion victory was due in the main to a revolt of the small home owners and the small taxpayers. In spite of Major LaGuardia's reputation as a radical" it does not appear that he obtained any

CAT THE FORK OF THE ROAD."

In the trade journal Retailing" Tn its O tober 3o issue under the above heading appear the following editorial, addressed to the retail me chants of the United States, which is worth U serious study of every man engaged in the me cantile business:
 The captains of the Retail Business stand at the parting of the ways. They command over a million stores. Over five million employees By sabotaging the code of fair competition for the retail trade they can make the success of the NFeA impossible By enthusiastic support they can make its fail ure unthinkable.
 Close to the pulse of the people, the merchants of the country can instill the public with hope and confidence and buy- ing impulse Vast power rests in their hands They represent the countrys greatest single industry Will this power be used ignorant ly and sefishly for the greatest good of the greatest number?
 The downward maelstrom spun it's par alyzing forces for four years. The NtA program aims to check these forces which are greater than any individual merchant but not greater than all when acting in concert It offers the hope of future gains even though the immediate present be bur densome. The means is provided to get rid of destructive competition and to wipe ont trade practices which harm not only the business structure by also society.
 If you lead to the right, you join in great national movement to which the coun- try for better or for worse, is committed. You may choose to lead to the left No law exists except by the consent of the governed But whither then? Will future historians indict you praise you?
 You can wreck this code and this pro- gram by chiseling You can undermine it by subterfuge. You can destroy public confidence in it. Look ahead, one year or five, and choose your course. The re- sponsibility is yours. Your vision and your courage are challenged. Common decency or the law of the jungle is the choice. It / is a good challenge which must inevitably be met Let us all, at once take and keep the Road to the Right!

A charge that big bankers have a
strange hold on indstry" was
the basis of an assertion yesterday
by Senator Norris, Repn., Nebr.,
that the situation should be inves-
tigated Immediately by a senate
committee.
John P. Frey, secretary-treas-
urer of the metal trades depart
ment of the American Federation
Of Labor, testifying before the
senate judiciary committee, said:
"The bankers control of credit
now makes it impossible for en-
ployers to do what they can to inn
prove conditions.
The committee is holding hear
ings on the Black bill which would
establish a six day, 30-hour work
week.
Frey promised to appear before
the committee again with a list Of
corporate affiliations of the bank
ing groups included in a survey
he made of the situation.

able in a free country and ought

More than 12,500,000 persons
dependent on the dairy industry
for living are hoping the mea-
sure will restore their pre-wa'
purchasing power, Charles W,
Holman, secretary of the national
cooperative milk producers fed
Grafton, told the committee.
But W. J. Jensen, of Chicago,
Secretary Manager of the Ameri-
can association of creamery but

titude is sympathetic but we don't
think the plan will work"
The measure, which has passed
the house, provides for a prOduc-
ers bounty designed to bring
prices to pre-war levels in return
for a 20 per cent reduction in pro
duction. The bounty would be
raised by levying taxes on process

Holman urged the committee to
place a tax on Olemargarire equal
to the bounty on butter to ma. n
tain "sales parity" between the
two products, adding that with
out this amendment we don't be
lieve the bill would work effec-
lively on the dairy industry"
Commodities now covered by
the bill are wheat, cotton, hogs,
rice. peanuts, tobacco and butter
fats.

stock Marketing association, said
he approved the bill, but urged
