the power to amend any proposals or to intorduee new revenue meas ures. The only substantial tax mea- .sure passed was one doubling the stamp tax on liquor. The general property tax, expertly drafted. was not even given the courtesy of q hearing or discussion. A gross sales tax introduced in the Senate after 1t was clear the other measures would not receive consideration was likewise uncerimoniously laid on the table Thus while the Legislature passed a few worthwhile measures. great opportunities for constructive legislation which would help Alaska were passed by.
 In the next biennium the people of Alaska will have ample time to consider these problems: If. as has been alleged-quite incorrectly that these tax measures were sprung" on the Legislature and public without sufficient warning. there will now be two years for their full study. There are available in the Governors Office, for any who desire them, complete studies of AL aska's tax problems. copies of the proposed net income and property tax bills, together with summaries thereof.
 And the underlying issue, which will not down, is whether the ab- sentees who are stripping. and would continue to strip, Alaska shall through their resident lobby ists and representatives take it all Or, whether the people of Alaska shall take their part and blow it back for the improvement and well fare of the Territory which they want to call their home.

 sixteen in the House--Jenne, Me Cormick, Egan. Mccutcheon, Land CT. Herbert, Gordon, Lyng, Leonard Smith and stangroom. By the treaehery and deception of several House members--one of whom, James V Davis, used the Trojan horse device of co-sponsoring the bill in order to defeat it--the mea- sure was deliberately stalled, so that it could not reach the Senate until after the fiftieth day, when, under the rules. a twO-thirds vote was required and three votes out of eight sufficed to kill it.
 A good deal of misrepresentation about these armories was propagat- ed by the Lobby As far as the pub lie had an opportunity to express it. self. it registered the attitude of patriotic Americans. The people of Nome. in a mass meeting, enthusi- astically endorsed the armories and when Representative Shattuck in an endeavor to bolster up his opposi- ton to them sent a wire to the Nome Chamber of Commerce asking it to follow the position taken by the Juneau Chamber in disappfov- ing the armories bill he received a merited rebuke in message which said the Nome Chamber of Com merce did not care to oppose the unanimous expression" of the peo- pie of Nome, and added i've realize with them the necessity and ur- gency of cooperation with the Fed eraI Government which is spending millions. Shall we be blinded by selfish interests and offer no saeri- flee toward preparation to defend our homes?"
 Yet Cochran and Sullivan who owed their election chiefly to the people of Nome, did everything in their power to delay, obstruct and finally to kill this national defense and civic measure.
 Chambers of Commerce are not ably conservative; they object to expenditures, often, in Alaska, it would seem, unwisely, when cer- tain expenditures are really com munity investments which will bring better living conditions, more business activity and more revenue to their town. But the fact is that a number of our Chambers of Com merce are controlled by resident lobbists, men whose one and only loyalty is to their absentee employ CTS. whose patriotism is only to their pocket book. Yet the Cham bers of Ketchikan, Fairbanks and Nome all endorsed the armories bill. Anchorage and Juneau did not. Ju- neau witnessed the depressing spect- acle of one or two of it's leading citizens employing every means to defeat a motion before the Chamber to support the only bill before the legislature to build the armories re- quired. Of course patriotism that consists merely in breast-beating and flag-waying on holidays, but balks at a single cent of expendi- ture, especially of his absentee clients is the type which has made

I act; they value their ease and wealth above all else he could have found here in Alaska recently a confirmation Of that eaustic condemnation of demo- eracies.
 Time will prove him wrong. Nei- ther Alaska nor any part of our be- loved United States will be control led by the penny-pinching pretend ed patriots. by the lobbyists whose flag is the dollar-sign and who at all times in their methods and nor als are the enemies of the demo- cratic process.
 Here in Alaska at the Fifteenth Session the Lobby told the people of Alaska:
 You shall not have additional funds for Vocational Education" And so no funds were voted.
 The Lobby declared:
 You shall not have additional facilities for the University for the boys and girls who want to go there. You shall have no new structures, and you must cut your funds for operation" And so the university's budget was drastically reduced.
 The Lobby said: "You shall not have armories.
 And despite the fact that ten out of sixteen members of the House and five out of eight members in the Senate favored armories and so voted there were no armories.
 The Lobby even tried to cut the funds for crippled children. It got s10,00O slashed off the requested s30,00O in the first skirmish There was sufficient indignation and spir- it among the free members of the legislature so that S5,000 of this was restored; but the final figure was still $5,O00 less than was re- quired
 The Lobby said: You shall not have a new Territorial building.
 And although Alaska's govern ment can scarcely operate for lack of space, there was no Territorial Building.
 Incidental to the Lobbys strategy of obstruction and delay, worth while measures, often involving no increased expenditures, reforms long sought by Alaska's civic bodies---- Womens clubs, the American Leg ion ----perished. Thus died the bills for a juvenile code---to prevent lit tie children from being stigmatized as criminals---and the bill amend ing the mothers allowance law, both recommended by the Depart ment of Public Welfare. The Lobby was too busy with it's slaughter to worry about innocent victims.
 The Lobby on the whole won d sweeping victory. To be sure it suf- fered a few set-backs. It managed to secure cuts in many appropria- tions that were needed; it managed to defeat all tax legislation which would have distributed the burden equitably and have reached those who have hitherto not borne a frac- tion of their just share; and it is highly possible that some worth while appropriations were made on- ly because the Lobby knew funds
