You cannot judge the work done in the Legislature by the rec ords; members are careful to keep their records clear. The records show the bills that are passed, but not those that are killed in com- mittee meetings, hotel rooms, or pool rooms. The only way for you to find out what actually goes on is to attend the session and see for yourself"
 Preceding Mrs. HeTmann's talk. Mrs Henry R. Cross talked on the legislative work being done by oth- CT clubs belonging to the Ameri- can Federation of Women's Clubs throughout the country and touch ed briefly on the wide scope of the subjects which are being taken up. The subjects included nearly every problem encountered in the ordinary life, health, child labo4. education, womens work, and many other fields.
 Mrs. Hermann said that the Alaska Federation has been highly praised for it's legislative work by members of the General Fedora ton and that out of the twelve clubs belonging to the Alaska Fed eration, eleven are working out legislative programs at the pres- ent time. -

LEGISL AZURE DENOUNCED AT
 CLUB MEETING
No Good Legislation Ever Passed by Alaska Body,
 Mrs. Hermann Says

Know Your Legislature" was the topic of talk given yesterday by Mrs. R. R. Hermann, Legisla- tive chairman Of the Alaska Fed eration of Women's clubs, before small gathering of mem bers of the Juneau Woman's Club and other women of Juneau who attended the open legislative meet ing of the organization held in the City Council Chambers yesterday afternoon.
 Mrs. Hermann denounced the methods in which legislation is put through by the Alaska Legislature as well as other State Legislatures. Alaska has had a Territorial Leg islature for twenty years and in that time no single piece of good legislation has been passed, she declared.
 Lobbyists Are ast1sacked i
 T do not accuse the men Elo
 
 come down here to sit in the Leg islature of being downright dishon- est, They are fair average of Alaskan citizenship and in most eases I believe when they leave their homes they honestly intend to work for the good of the Ter ritory and keep their promises to the constituents who elected them. But when they get here they have their minds changed for them by men who are hired by companies to see that good legislation is not passed. advise you to know your legislators; others do, and they control the Legislature.
 There are men who watch each legislator elected from the time he leaves his home town to come here. They study the legislators careful ly, discovering their weaknesses and the best manner of approach ing them, because they are paid to do so They belong to what is sometimes termed the third house.'- the lobbyists and they are the ones who control the Legislature, who convince the members of the Sen ate and House what bills should be passed and which ones killed Any legislation they are in favor of is of the worst kind and against the best interests of the country. .pS Members Should Attend Sessions
 Mrs. Hermann urged the mem oers to attend the forthcoming ses- sion of the Legislature as freouent- ly as possible and to watch the amazing things that take place in | both the House and Senate. She declared that the fault with the
The Daily Alaska empire., 1933-02-22

Legislature lay largely with the voters who elected members and considered their duty done instead of seeing to it that proper and good work was done by them.
 Community Propcrty Bill
 In mentioning the Community Property bill, Mrs. Hermann said that she had worked for it's pas age for four years and would work for forty if it was necessary. It was not so much the defeat of the bill in the last Legislature that reused her to fury as it was the trickery and skullduggery that it's defeat, she said. She expressed her disgust with Sena- tors and Representative who, af- ter promising to vote for the meas ure, voted for it themselves to keep their records clear, but gave talks on the floor urging other members to vote against it.
 This happened in both houses and as result the bill was killed" Mrs. Hermann said. There is one man whom I have found to be the most honest legislator whom have When he says he will vote for a bill he means that he will not only vote for it but work for it. He is MT. Shattuck," Mrs. Hermann said.

For the past six months, we have

i'll the largest number of paid-up new
members in these Boards. We are
proud to say that this Drive has proven
to be an asset to the Association, how
ever, we are sorry only five prizes
were offered, which means that only
five lodges could take a part in the
prizes.
We have decided to change the plan
of awarding prizes and fix it so each
president who works can receive a
prize, and it is up to him to make his
prize as large as he wants to. We are
going to give to the local president
or lodge 10c for every new member
he reports for in the December Board,
above the number reported fir in the
September Boards. If president re-
ported twenty members in the Septem-
Der Board and reports twenty-five in
the December Board, then his prize
will he SOC.
am looking for every president in
this Association to win a prize.
You may send in applications just
as you have been for the last two
Boards; after they have been received
and accepted by the local lodge, they
MAY then be sent to the office without
laying on file for thirty days.
Don't send in those persons who are
sick and above the age of fifty-five.

awarded in the December Board.
