ONE HOUSE LEGISLATURE FOR ALASKA

The subject of one house Legislature in Alaska has of late months become increasingly interesting topic of discussion and argument During the past two years the matter has received serious thought and re- search in the Territory than ever before.
 With the tendency in the States to follow the exam pie by Nebraska several years ago in setting up uncameral legislature Alaskans would certainly do well to investigate the possibilities for beerment of legislative procedure and development of more busi ness-like means of legslating for the Territory
 Advanced theories of political science have no place for unwiedy body of two houses which the majority of the time at odds with each other to the added expense of the government and the cost to much con- structive legislation which never be agreed upon by two opposing bodies.
 While there are arguments in favor of the blcameral legislature and there many all of which have been tried and found to be practical it still remains that such form of legslang is extremely expensive to the gov of the state territory, and in many proves so unwiedy and clogged with red tape that emergency legislation often is delayed long it hardly remains effective
 Action of the House Territories Committee in ap- proving Delegate Dimonds bill which would authorize a Territorial referendum one-house legislature, brings to head the sub ect which has been discussed in Washington, D. C., for time past When the is passed by congress, and believe that it will be, Alaska will receive the authority to conduct referendum to the public opinon-uncameral bi- cameral legislature.
 In the meantime, the subject being of such interest to students and practitioners of political science, The Nome Daily Nugget is going to offer space each day in in a column wherein the public may express its opin- ions the matter Your opinion should be written to the Nugget in not to exceed five hundred words, and signed. The object of conducting such forum is not lobby the bill directly with the public but merely to give the public an opportunity for expression which would in any other form, be considerably restricted
 So if you are interested mail your opinion in not to exceed five hundred words and signed by your name whether Alaska should continue with two house legislature or whether it should change to onehouse form of government.

Ruby was frankly puzzled and obviously
peeved Homer barked at her and she glow
cred at him, but she didn't say anything.
When he got up to leave he reached in his
pocket for Rubys tip. She watched him. He
drew out his hand empty.
The service" he said, was lousy"
That week was the happiest of Homers
life Pepper Brothers decided to accept his
idea IKP. was delighted. TIE whole office
treated him with new respect.
Saturday noon he went into the wash room.
Brennan and Taylor were there.
What are you guys doing tonight" Homer
said casually.
Were going to get drunk" Taylor said.
What do you do on Saturday nights?"
Saturday night! Homer's brain clicked
romance, tenderness and passion.
oh" Homer said. I'm going to see GER
tain babe" He winked wickedly and wished
sadly that he knew some nice girl who would
like to go to the movies.
That afternoon he took long bus ride and
finished reading biography of Mussolini
At half past six he went to "Ye Tulip Bowl
We've got chicken outlets tonight, Mr..
Meadows Ruby said. 1t was amazing how
Ruby had changed.
Il don't know as want outlets" Homer
said. I've got big night ahead of me-"
"Yeah?" Ruby said She smiled. She had
nice smile In fact. Ruby was, as Homer had
noticed, blocking girl Her hair was
bleached, but it was pretty. If a man were to
take Ruby out, why other people would think
she was in show business, she was that type.
Homer had always secretly liked that type.
YEAH Homer said. I'm going to get
drunk, it's Saturday night
why, Mr.. Meadows!' Ruby said and she
laughed. When she laughed, her eyes sparkled.
Say. could do with drink myself, nothing
better for cold" She Coughed. Homer thought
that was cute.
Before dessert Homer suggested that he
would be delighted to cure Ruby's cold. Ruby
thought it was wonderful idea. She told him
she d be off at nine o'clock. She told him there
was a nice little pub down the next block
where he could wait for her.
Homer went to the pub and felt very devil
ish standing at the bar waiting for Ruby.
There was only one way to handle women he
told himself, be masterful! He was proud of
the way he had handled Ruby.
At twenty past nine his pride
started ebbing away. An empty 4
gnawing sick feeling crept up on "a
him. Maybe she wouldn't come! ,
He felt himself shrinking visibly, N
when Ruby arrived.
She arrived looking like mil
lion dollars in little black hat
with siren veil and black coat
tight at the waist. The coat swung
out prettily and showed off her
legs.
Proudly, Homerescorted Ruby
to booth ard ordered drinks.
Ruby told him all about herself.

PAROLE OF CASEY
CAUSING CONCERN
Lenoir Man Six Times Pre-
pared for Death; Jur-
ors Ask Clemency
Daily Dispatch Bureau.
Tn The Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, Dec. 22-Commissioner Of
Paroles Edwin Gill is bordering one
of the toughest assignments he has
ever had to handle-to make a de-
cision whether Herman Casey should
get executive clemency.
If mercy is shown the convict, who
has been behind bars for nearly seven
years for killing ]. c. Causey, prom
inent Virginia Zimmerman, many will
say that a cold blooded murderer has
been turned loose upon the State.
If the man who six times was pre-
pared for execution is kept in prison.
many will declare vigorously that the
State of North Carolina is persecut-
ing an innocent man.
Commissioner Gill Tuesday heard
Jesse A. Jones, K;nston attorney, ar
que strenuously in behalf Of the pri-
soner, who some years ago was the
mos. puJ:cized person in the State.
II his argument the lawyer reveal
ef that The jury which found Casey
guilty OF second 6ecre, n7u"dcr lad
stood eight for acquittal, three for sec
ond degree murder and only one for
first degree murder before it's mem
bers shook hands and agreed to a sec
ond degree verdict, with a recommend
ton to mercy and a verbal agreement
that all should join in asking for Gle
mency after Casey had served five
years. All living-there are ten-have
done so, as have some 1000 persons
in Lenior county who signed petitions
urging mercy.
Chief point of debate is the credi-
bility Of Milton Wood, young man
whose testimony was that he saw
Casey kill Causey and set the Vir-
ginian's car afire with the body in it
His was the only direct evidence a.
gainst Casey.
The case was bitterly fought from
th2 start. On a first trial Casey was
Ioo,ned to die. but Mr.. Jones finally
won new trial on after-d.scovered
evidence in a decision of the Supreme
Court which set an entirely new North
Carolina precedent
Casey, from the start, has stead
tasty declared his innocence. He is
now 81 years old. Among those in Ra-
leigh for the parole hearing was

ONCE UPON DEC. %|nu.
There aren't any ideas for keeping
nations at peace that haven't been
ried. Take, for example, the Neu-
trality Act, designed to prevent Anne
.ican commerce from getting US IN
yolved with belligerents. Back IN 1ooo'
on Dec. %, Congress passed an en-
barge act, forbidding all American
ships to engage in transatlantic trade
to keep us from getting mixed up IN
the hostilities between British and
France. Britain had ruled that any
American ship with a cargo pouno
nad retaliated by issuing decrees oe-
,laring that any vessel which toucheu
at a British port would, upon ARRIVAL
IN France, be seized as an enemy snip.
President jefferson had theory we
could not get into war If he mad no
merchant marine on the seas, no In
5ernational trade and no army and
navy to make jingos of us. II the
demand in Europe for raw materials
from America did not bring France
and England to their senses, he reas-
oned then we would be a self-contaln-
I'd country, manufacturing ourselves
the goods we had imported from
abroad, and selling our manufactures
only to ourselves.
What did happen? Francis F. Belrne
has summarized it:
A hundred thousand seamen were
thrown out of work, our ships lay
idle at their piers. Merchants whose
livelihoods depend upon the import of
goods found themselves ruined. The
foreign market for the agricultural
products of the south was lost and cot
ION, tobacco and grains dropped in
price.
Anticipating passage of the act,
many American vessels, loaded to gum
wales, defeated its purpose by setting
sail. A hundred of them reached
France. Napoleon issued a decree ord
ering sci. ure of all American ships il
French waters. He replied to pro
tests by declaring he was helping the
