HALF MARTIAL LAW?

A bill which deserves comment was introduced in the Senate the other day by the Senate Judiciary Committee It might be termed the half martial sion on the calendar it's merits faults cannot be too clear
 The bill was introduced a surprise to many On its face it appears to be desirable measure, it's stated purpose being to insure the health and well fare of the armed forces of the United States with in the Territory That certainly is something to be desired at any time but especially in wartime.
 The measure provides that at the written request of the commanders of either the Navy the Army in Alaska the Governor of Alaska will have the power to prescribe regulations to govern: CD the dispensing of intoxicating liquor (2) the operation of places of amusement, t3 sanitation, t4 control of prostitution, t5) prevention of disease.
 That friends, is a mighty variety of power tC be vested in any one person If the bill gave this was martial law or very it. But since the bill gives the power to the Governor, at the request of the military it might be called half martial law.
 Either is dictatoral in sense and highly un- desirable The powers which will be granted if this bill becomes law will infringe upon individual rights and liberties infringe upon powers usually granted to city governments, infringe upon powers exercised by Territorial agencies responsible to the Legislature and the will of the people of Alaska.
 Perhaps this is necessary in time of war. If such powers are needed now, then, let the military authorities take them. This bill is insult to the military commanders in Alaska. If the military and

 Another was that horse owners can, in many cases, save shoes by
 emoving the shoes immediately after a period of necessary road work
 From behind its red face, the WPB hastens to explain that CD It was not Harvardman Gay who composed the letter, but farm born Verne Gregg of the Depart ment of Agriculture; and @ WIPE really means what it says about 5aking off the horses shoes.
 It's simple matter, says Gregg, to pull the nails out of a shoe at the end of a season of road work, when the horse is going to be in pasture. Otherwise, the shoes will probably be lost in pasture, and in the spring Dobbin will have to come back to town for new iron that can be used for better pur- pose in the war.

 All letters were addressed to that unhappy Harvard graduate Edward R. Gay, son of the former Dean of the Harvard School of Business and one-time editor of the New York Evening Post.

 This bill not needed to establish dmout regulations in Alaska it wasn't needed to get cities to change the closing hours of bars to conform to military requests
 We that this bill will do thing, if carried. It will vest variety of power in the office of the Governor of Alaska is up the members of the Legislature determine whether or not this is wise thing
 This bill is not the work of the Judiciary Com- mttee of the Senate. It was written in Washington, DC, in the Interior Department
 The bill is a retreat from the path toward home rule in the Territory. Before taking any action on this Bill legislators might well recall the principles of the Democratic Party which many of them helped to draft at recent conventions.
 Among other things, the platform which was adopted in 1936 at Seward stated
 Tn keeping with the principle of representative sef-government it urges home rule for Alaska, and. to that end it not only favors full territorial form of government but also believes that all Federal and Territorial offices in Alaska ought to be filled through the appointment of bona fide Alaskans"
 This bill would give the Governor Federal ap- pointee responsible primarily to the Department of the Interior and the President and to the people of Alaska, outright dictatorial powers.
 If these powers must be granted, grant them to military authority and not to a civil official, who no matter how hard he may try, cannot keep poll tics from influencing his judgments, or to these powers to obtain other ends.
