MISUNDERSTANDING a years

and two months work of its own,
the Georgia legislature yesterday
approved a new state constitution,
which will be submitted to the vot-

provisions for home rule by local
Ieferendums rather than legislative
act. permits municipal financing of
public utilities, and removes pro-
vision for state regulation of pri.

came to Alaska, made a thorough study and not only reported wig orously against the increases but condemned some of the steamship companies practices. Nevertheless out of the commission came an order approving virtually every thing the companies had asked or were doing.
 In any event it is certainly not possible for the people of Alaska to prepare themselves in two weeks to make an effective and successful fight against this at tempt to deliver mortal blow to the Territory.
 I therefore request the people of Alaska to join in protest to the US. Maritime Commission against the unwarranted and unjustified haste in ordering this hearing. I believe it should be postponed for at least six months, and that we should meanwhile seek Con- gressional investigation of the whole situation.

was a girl in Big Spring, Texas.
 q don't know what gave me the idea. Maybe it was because I had a lot of colored pottery ami mals and I wanted our poodle to look like them. One day while the folks were away I dipped the dog in tub of vegetable coloring."
 Jean says she colors her dog about every two weeks. I asked if she Jean would then have to wear the same color for two weeks.
 If l were going out with the dog, l would either have to wear the same color or a contrasting color"
 For obvious reasons, Miss Por- ter has no plaids in her wardrobe.
 Tt is a matter of record" said a nearby press agent, "that Miss Porter converted three men to AL coholics Anonymous when she walked down Vine Street with her green dog"
 Please" Jean said, ft was chartreuse."
 Despite the dog-dyeing idiosyn- crasy, Jean is very level-headed girl who has raised herself to near stardom through sheer determin- ation.
 That work has been going on since the age of three and Jean is now barely out of her teens. The years in between included many seasons of vaudeville, radio, movie westerns and haunting the casting offices.

Gov. Cruening Against Raises I'm Steamship Rates

 creases in wages and salaries would be instantly demanded, and failure to secure them would cause a general exodus from the Territory.
 In past years I have proposed to the Territorial Legislature cer- tain changes in our tax system to raise more revenue by trying to reach the considerable numbers of businesses, groups and individ- uals now virtually untaxed by the Territory, of which the steamship companies incidentally are out standing examples, since they pay no Territorial tax whatsoever. The sreSult of such tax measures, if adopted, would have been to SUD- ply the Territory with funds for roads, airports, schools, hospitals, and for projects and services gen erally beneficial to Alaska, which in turn would have built up it's economy. But no taxes ever pro- posed would have added up to anything approaching so stagger- ing total as this prospective levy which would be handed to three Seattle steamship companies, and none of the benefits of which would be left in the Territory.
 Every cent of this increase amounting annually to three times our Territorial budget-will go to absentee business enterprises and nonresident employees.
 In 1889, the Alaska Legislature adopted memorial protesting high freight rates, and asked for gan investigation and relief, and which was promised for the sum- mer of 1940. Even after this in- vestigation of existing high freight rates had been authorized the steamship companies raised their rates another fifteen percent in the spring of 194O.
