REPEAL OF
B0UNTIE5
IS PASSED
Senate ReConsiders Vote
Changes Mind This
Afternoon

You could almost hear the Alas
kan eagle scream with delight this
afternoon when Senator H. II
McCutcheon asked for a suspension
of the rules and a reconsideration
of a bill killed by tie vote yester-
day-a bill to repeal the bounty on
eagles. Because when new vote
was taken, the bill passed five to
three.
Senator Ed Coffey protested the
move vigorously, referred to pres
sure" causing a person to change
his vote, said the whole deal to
bring the bill back to life after it
had been killed is illegal"
The rules provide that bill may
be reconsidered on the day fol-
lowing the vote, providing motion
to reconsider is made on the day
the vote is taken. This was not the
case, but the rules were suspended
and it didn't make any difference.
Senators Coffey, A. P. Walker
and Stewart L. Stangroom voted
against the bill.
The measure must now go to the
House for consideration.
Earlier, the Senate Finance Com
mittee under Chairman Coffey had
submitted a report recommending
against passage of a bill to pay back
bounties on eagles killed during the
biennium 1941 -43 After the repeal
bill passed, however, Coffey asked
that the other bill, introduced in
the House by Rep. William Egan
be referred back to Committee
This was done. A different report or
the bill is expected.
The Senate passed the Uniform
Narcotic Drugs Act unanimously
and the measure will be sent tt
the House for consideration.

TABLE BILLS TO
COMPILE LAWS

Two bills, one setting up funds for
compiling Alaska's laws, the other
providing for the compilation. were
laid on their final resting place on
the table this morning upon the
motion of Rep. Joseph w. Kehoe
sponsor of the measure.
Kehoe said, however, that SUBJ
stitute bills calling for the compil-
alton would be introduced 1t is I'M
derstood that the reason for the
action is that the Ways and Means
Committee, which recommended
against passing the bills, did SO
because it was against taking the
funds from liquor receipts going to
the cities.
New bills will probably provide
another source for the funds.
