SENATE HOLDS PREMIER EVEN TIDE SESSION
Minor Appropriations Bills Whaked Off Upper.
 House Calendar

Yielding slightly to the pressure of tte long backlog of bills awalCihg their action. AlaSka's Senators last evening got together for their Ilrst evening session Of the current Legs lature settling down to earnest en- deavor, they succeeded in disposing of eight House bills in slightly more than an hour and half.
 The solons opened their evening get-together by refusing to re- ceiye House Bill 101, Rep. J. M Walsh's Liquor Permit Act. The vote On acceptance was yeas, nays. Senator H. H. McCutcheon ab- sent-lailing of the two-thirds vote required to suspend the rules.
 With that bit of business out of the way, the Senate went into action cn a list of eight minor appropria- tion bills. passing five of them de- -feating two and letting one slide over to come up in third reading in its regular course.
 Kodiak Hard Hit
 The town of Kodiak had 2 hard night of it, the two measures voted down being: House Bills Nos Al and 5l, both by Kodiak Rep. Warren A. Taylor. No Al called for a S9,0O0 de- ficiency appropriation for the Grit- fin Memorial Hospital to take care Of expenses previous to turning the hospital ever to the Grey Nuns. Senator N. R. Walker characterized the situation of the town of Kcdiak's "walshing on @ bad bet" The bill lest by a to 10 vote.
 No. 51 would have appropriated S750cO, to be matched by an equal appropriation by the town, for cop- struction of a new school at Kodiak. Gens tors hllen Shattuck and o. c. Cochran reiterated that such special appropriations are prohibited by the Organic Act. The bill lost ' to 9.
 Petersburg Hospital
 A very similar bill, House No. 54 by Rep. Fred Hanford, to put up s27,501 for a 20-bed hospital at Petersburg, to be matched by Peters burg money, evoked the same com ment, but was left technically alive when motion failed to suspend the rules and advance the measure for final balloting. The vote was 10 to 6, not quite two-thirds.

pp0'SpECT0RS' BIL.L.ISB0OTED SECOND TIME
Audifs Bill Finally Passed to 6oyernor-3 House
 Bills Accepted


 For the second time this session, the l945 edition of the Prospectors' Aid Act has failed to gain accept ance in the Territorial Senate. Originally offered by Senator Frank Gordon as proposed Senate Bill CT. the measure, framed by Terri torial Commissioner of Mines B. D. Stewart, was unable to gain the two-thirds vote necessary for in troduction after the fortieth day.
 Entered in the House and passed by that body, the same measure, under the title House Bill l02, was again turned down by the Senate yesterday afternoon. The bill mus tered only 10 Senate votes for ac- ceptance-one less than needed.
 Commissioner Stewart was called on to explain the merits of the bill, but before his turn on the stand was finished, he had been &C., corded the toughest time of any witness to appear before the Sen- ate this session, with Senators N. R. Walker and O. D. Cochran in the roles of chief inquisitors. Sen ator Cochran took violent issue with Mir. Stewards statement that the old Prospectors' Aid Act had been responsible for discovery of kobuk asbestos. with the Bureau of Mines playing main part in it's commercial development.
 When the bill was. first received from the House, Senator Cochran bounced to his feet with the dec laration: Tt is hard to understand the operation of the human mind when a bill of this kind is con- ceived." Senate President Edward D. Coffey, however. rallied to the support of the bill and requested the Nome Senator to restrain him. self long enough to permit Com missioner Stewart to testify.
 Three other recen tly-passed House measures realized a better fate, however. All were received by the Senate by unanimous consent. They were: House Joint Memorial 20, by Reps. Frank Peratrovich and Joe Krause, asking Congress for a four -mile-lcng canal across Prince of Wales Island; House Joint Me morial No 2l, by Reps Walter E. Huntley and Amer J. Peterson, re- i questing that Matanuska Valley lands be reopened to homesteading under the direction of the U s. General Land Office, and House Concurrent Resolution No. l, by Rep. Peterson, authorizing members of the Legislature to take home with them their issued copies of the Compiled Laws of Alaska, 1e33 1 The Peterson resolution was moved ahead immediately and given final Senate approval by 14 to 3 vote. Senators Walker and Allen Shattuck voted against it.
 The Senate also voted to concur l in the single House amendment to the well-publicized "Audits" Bill, Senate No 36. The amendment de- letes the requirement. for a "certi- fled public accountant to make the audits of Territorial books.

PRIVATE ISSUE RAISED
 BY SENATOR'S
Petersburg Hospital Ap- propriation Center of
 Senate Discussion

The issue ot special legislation came in for a thorough airing in the Territorial Senate this morning, with Alaskas Attorney General, Henry Roden, dvising g that it might be a good idea to pass one bill of that nature in order to get q test case" and let the Courts settle the point. once and for all.
 Before the Senate was House Bill 54, by Rep Fred Hanford, for a Territorial appropriation of $27,50O to Petersburg for construction of a 20-bed hospital in that city. Senator N R. Walker succeeded in having the ru.es suspended for adoption of an amendment to require that before the Highway Engineer may Undertake any construction on the hospital, the city of Petersburg sLall have made available a like amount. Senator Walkers proviso was incorporated in the bill without taking it out of third reading, to which it had regularly advanced following Senate action last even ing. Attorney General Roden was the first of three witnesses to be called after the question of the validity Of the measure, under AL aska's Organic Act, was raised. The Attorney General again stated his opinion that any such local bill would be illegal under the Con- gressional Act of 1886 If the Legis- lature were to pass the bill, he de- clared, and an action were brought to enjoin execution of it, the courts would probably sustain the injunc- ton.
 Alaskas Auditor Frank Boyle, testified briefly that it had been his practice to approve payments under such special bills because his office goes on the presumption that actions by the Legislature are yalid-until some protest is made and upheld. MT. Roden agreed with Mir. Boyle's conclusion, adding that, if the Legislature passes such a bill, it is his duty as Attorney General to defend the action of the Iegislature.
 Fomer Pc burg physician, yDr. J. c. Rude, was the third wit ness. He was called and questioned by Senator Andy Gundersen, with replies elicited: That Petersburg has real need for an adequate hospital; that, though the city is probably TIfmancially able to build it's own hospital, any such institution there also serves a wide surrounding area, including such settlements as Fake and Scow Bay; that Peters burg has always run financially behind in it's operation of it's present tiny hospital and that it can be expected to continue to run behind even with a larger estab- lishment.
 The Senators were interested lis teners to the various witnesses, but, when the lunch hour rolled around, still had not got down to voting on the bill They recessed until l:45 o'clock this afternoon.

The penny-close estimate by Education Commissioners James Ryan was ac- ceptod at face value by the Senators who approved the bill unanimously
 House Bill No 63, by Rep. O. A. Pollard. for appropriation of $1,322- S4 to pay salaries, travel expense, per diem and office rent for the Territorial Board of Dental eXamin- srS, during the past biennium. Con- siderable question was raised as to ehe propristy of the appropriation, Senators Walker and Rogge repeat ing statements of dentists in their cities that costs of the dental exam inations should be borne by increas- ing dentists license fees.
 Bars "BIac!xsmiths'
 Senate President Edward D. Cof- fey declared the Board and exam nations were necessary to protect the public from ''blacksmiths and said since the Board is necessary tie Territory should be willing to pay for it. Senator Howard Lyng pointed out that the $500 allotment for the last biennium was evidently not sufficient, since $2.000 is to be proposed for the next two years.
 The bill was passed, IA to- 2, but Senator Walker immediately got un- Ger the wire with the last notice of reconsideration possible this session, since the rules provide for no recon alterations on the final two days.
 A bit of by-play at the opening of the Senate meeting last evening re- suited in Senator Lyng's gaining a promise that the Finance Commit tee would today report out the de- liciency bill of $l,000 for the Gov ernor's entertainment funds When the order of business for the even- ing session was being discussed, the Nome Senator gave his consent to consideration Of the several minor appropriations only on assurance that the Finance Committee would stop sitting on the Governors bill.
 Adjournment was taken until II o'clock this morning.

Poor Digestion? G1 F 7
 Headaclly? pa Sour or Upset? Du Tii'ed-iisSless? 00

Do you feel headachy and upset due to poorly digested food? To feel cheerful and happy again your food must be digested properly.
 Each day, Nature must produce about two pints of a vital digestive juice to help digest your food. If Nature fails, your food may remain undigested-- leaving you headachy and irritable.
 Therefore, you must increase the flow of this digestive juice. Carter's Little Liver Pills increase this flow quickly often in as little as 80 minutes. And, you're on the road to feeling better.
 Don't, depend on artificial aids to counteract indigestion-whe Carter's Little Liver Pills aid digestion after Na- ture's own order. Take Carter's Little Liver Pills as directed. Get them at any drugstore. Only 25e.
