INDIAN LIQUOR BILL REPORTED
 OUT IN SENATE
Natives Oppose LaBoy teaux Measure in Eve
 hing Open Hearing

Senator c. H. LaBoyteuX's piil to prohibit sale of liquor to Alaska Natives was reported out of Com mittee, today without recommenda- ton, following Judiciary Com mittee hearing last night at which half a dozen Juneau Indians tes- tified.
 Fervent pleas not to enact dis criminatory legislation were voiced by Jake Cropley, Stanley Sutton, Mrs. Margaret Flesher, William L.. Paul and Sandy Stevens.
 Most of the Senators, in addi- ton to Mrs. Ella D. Smith and Arthur Eide spoke in favor of en- acting some such bill to keep liquor from Natives.
 Cropley, first speaker, contended that as long as white people had liquor, the Indian would be able to get it, the only effect of the bill being to increase cost of liquor to the Native.
 Mrs. Flesher pleaded that Legis- Iators give the Natives chance to work the problem out for them selves, saying it took you twenty five or fifty thousand years to come from the stone age; it's taken us one hundred years"

Prohibition Favored

 Paul said that the only sensible thing to do would be to enact a prohibition law which would apply to everyone. He spoke at length in support of his contention that such legislation as that embodied in Senate Bill No. IT is unconsti- tutional.
 Mrs. Smith said the law was not discriminatory, but protective, saying she believed it would pro- tect little Native children who were being neglected while their parents drank.
 Concluding the Indian argument, Stevens declared, the Indians don't know how to add any more only how to subtract, you whites have taken so many things away from us"
