THE LIQUOR ISSUE

One of the problems which is expected to give the Legislature unpleasant moments at th-s session the liquor issue which everyone has some sort of an opinion and most of us not hesitant in vocing it.
 Liquor like the weather is natural subject O. conversation Its is social custom since the be- ginning of time Its excessive is distasteful to those who partake and those who do not Over indul- gence is the bugaboo of the liquor problem and the very thing which makes it problem the world over Thus it is safe to predict that it is upon the over indulgence firing line that the verbal war will be fought in this session of the Legislature, particularly the excessive of liquor among the native popu- lation
 Records of the Liquor Board reveal that the major cause of complaint in handling liquor comes from the sale of liquor to Indians In its report to the Legislature, the Board says:
 "The question of sale of liquor to the Indians has been the cause of trouble than any other ques- ton that has presented itself during the last two years There is difference of opinion as to the right of the Liquor Board of the Legislature, to prohibit the sale of liquor to Indians as class since the passage of the Act Congress which made them citizens. Most States have old legislation on this subject which has not been repealed; and the Federal government has law making it an offense to sell liquor to Indians and this law has not beer repealed"
 The Board goes on to point that even the statutes of the Territory little vague on the matter anc that it feels that the time has when the Legis ature should consider all phases of the liquor ques ton and pass appropriate laws
 To sift from the great mass of opinion, virtually all of it different is small task and it will require the best thought that the lawmakers can muster to hit on a solution which will meet with the will of the majority Obviously, in view of the findings of the Liquor Board during the past two years the Legislature must take sort of action. Two meas ures on the question already in the hopper, one setting up law similar to the regulations in effect under the Liquor Board and the other referring the matter to the voters at the next election There pro- bably will be other bills the subject Out of them the Legislators expected to draft law to handle the matter at least for the next two years
 The Liquor Board has handled the problem dur ing the last bennium delegated by the 18th Legis lature must be admitted that it has done difficu job exceptionally well but in view of the stack of com plants which it now has on file. it hardly be ex- pected to continue without some guidance from the Legislature which is composed of representatives elect ed by the people from all the Divisions.

20 YEARS AGO
January 26. 1917
From The Empire

January 26, 1917
 Two men were buried in a snow
 slide which occurred near the old Red Mill in the Silver Bow Basin. Both were linemen from the Perse- verance mine. The body of Benja- min Grout was found late in the afternoon. He had been suffocated. The other man was Maurice Ras- lmussen. Slides caused other damage in Juneau. The first slide occurred on the side of Mt. Juneau. about 9 o'clock in the morning, when a far distant roar was heard. Reverberat- ing from valley to valley and moun- tain peak to mountain peak, the intensity of the sound gradually approached from somewhere to everywhere From clear cool sky there suddenly spread over the city a peculiar darkness. A wet dirty snow whizzed through the air circled from all directions and lodged everywhere. Darkness settled in shades and after continuing fot several minutes, the sky cleared as suddenly as it was darkened. Four
 unoccupied cabins along the road
 between Juneau and the Last Chance Basin, thousands of feet Of
 sidewalk along the roadway. the Hume of the Alaska Electric Light
 and Power Company, the city rock crusher and the power lines and telephone lines to Perseverance for over 1000 feet were carried out. All day slides continued, and many who had gone to the scene of the morn ing slides narrowly escaped being caught and buried in later ones.

Schools Look
Annually 10
Event
By GARRETT WATERS

The boys always look forward tc
the Central &C" Club track meet
particularly the local interhigh
group.
The meet offers plenty in the
way of experience, competition
and good craftsmanship. It Is
slated for Saturday at the Central
Stadium, starting at p. m.
Locally speaking, it must be said
the competition usually is little
too keen for titles to be won. But
the boys get a great kick out OF
the events just the same, II, Tor no
other reason, it pits them against
teams they normally would not
have the chance to meet during
the course Of the season.
AS heretofore, the competition
promises to be exceedingly power
full this year. It's got to be when
81 schools are vieing for honors-
schools that put on the field track
teams of top merit from dash men
down to the broad Jumpers.
Stamped as Threat
Usually the local team making a
strong showing in the &c" Clun
meet is stamped as a dangerous
threat for the interhigh games,
the next important event on the
calendar. Tech, for example
looked very strong last year and a
week later, went on to win the
interhigh meet hands down. East
ern and Central were others to
fare well, later on, to become con
tenders in the interhigh meet.
Roosevelt Highs up and coming
team promises to be heard from
this year. The Riders have been
going at top speed in recent meets
and should give good account OF
themselves Saturday, which II
such occurs, will make them a dis
tinct threat for the Interhigh.
But back to the Tech team
Coach Artie Wondrack hopes to
put another crack lineup on the
field both for Saturday and the
Interhigh.

.HubbeII's Mark
In Danger; Faces
Pittsburgh
BY DAVIS J. WALSH


| International News Service Sports Editor
NEW YORK, May 13.-This is
! the day when everything is ex-
pected to become definitely con-
fusing regarding the respective
merits of Carl Hubbell and RUDE
Marquard, a pair Of pitchers then
and now.
A few weeks ago Hubbell won
his nineteenth straight game to
be greeted by wide acclaim as an
equalizer of old records. A few
days ago he won his twentieth
game to be cheered all over again
but still just an equalizer. Instead
of a record-breaker, Hubbell was
right back where he started. It
seems somebody suddenly discov-
cred that the archives were all
wrong after all these years and
that Marquard actually won 20
back in 1912 after all. Nobody
thought he had won more than
10 until Hubbell showed up.
Actually Won Twenty
Anyhow, Hubbell is expected to
start today against the Pittsburgh
Pirates and perhaps we'll have
record we can put into the book
without fear of a proof reader
among the skeletons in the family
closet.
The Pirates beat the Giants
yesterday by 6 to 5, to remain out
in front in the National League
race and to keep the Giants down
in third place just ahead of the
Brooklyn Dodgers who now finally
are in the first division.
Butcher Hats Reds
Behind the extremely expert
pitching Of Max Butcher, the
Dodgers beat the Cincinnati Reds,
5 to l, this victory leaving the
Dodgers exactly a half game be-
hind the Giants.
The st. Louis Cardinals left
no doubt whatever as to who be-
longed in second place, blasting
the Philadelphia Phillies for 20
hits and a Is to 3 victory. The
Cards hit three home runs, two
triples and six doubles during the
festivities.
The Chicago Cubs beat the Bos-
ton Bees. 6 to 2.
American League activity was
confined entirely to the second
division as only one game was
played, with the Chicago White
Sox beating the Washington Sena-
tors, Is to 5.

different at every turn of the steering
wheel, is not enough on the much-trav-
eled public highways, take private
