ATTORNEY GENERAL
 EXPLAINS COMING
 LEGISLATION IN TALK

Attorney General for Alaska Ralph River, in a speech made re gently over KINY, gave an outline of future legislation due to come up at the present session of the Territorial Legislature. MT. Rivers said in part;
 Although departmental requests for the comng two years total el- even and a half million dollars, there is nothing scandalCus about that. One asks. why has the budget gone up so much? One reason is that many programs inaugurated by the 1945 and 1946 legislatures carried their own appropriations and were not budgetary matters when the 1945 budget was made up. For example, a quarter mil lion dollars was appropriated in 1946 for tuberculosis control. This was a budgelary item when the present budget was prepared. Building of schools wss, of neces- sity, neglected during the war years and much new construction is needed. Ina item WIS budget ary this time. New agencies inaug- urated in 1945 and 19fG were a fuIl-fledged Health Department, a rull-fledged Department o5 Taxa tion, which will cost mnney To op- crate, but Which will under az gressive administration, pay for itself many times over. a Veterans Board; a Housing Authority a Teachers Retirement System; a Department Of Agriculture. d Beard of Vocational Training and Rehabilitation; q Land Registra- tion agency and the Alaska Indus trial Board. Furthermore. the vol ume of work in all lhp previously existing departments has expanded greatly since termination of the war. All this costs money. If we wish service. education and gener- al security in the style to which We have become accustomed we will have to raise the money to pay for it, or e,se go back to some thing approxImating the dog-team days.
 Your administrative officers and agencies deemed it their duty to indicate all such activities and social needs in their requests, even though it were to lead to an em- barrassingly large budget

 sAother phase qf3 legislation which is significant bu- hot very interesting 10 the casual observer is revision and reeompil8tion of AL aska's laws. The 1923 compilation is sorely out of date aad repeating and amendatory acts are scattered throughout the Session Laws. and several session laws themselves are out of print.
 other bills of interest from an administrative standpoint will be a revision of Alaska's aeronautfcs commission. to authorize partlc.pa- tion by the Territory aRd mrnicf- palities on the Federal Govern ment's airport program: clarifica- ton of our veterans housing auth ority law. travel restriction law. employees leave law. bid law and Introduction of experience "a Ing privisions n our Unemployment Compensation law

 Since the Legislature has re gently expressed it's will to onposs an increase in freight rates to AL aska appropriate items will likely be inserted in the Attorney Geuer- aIs appropriations 10 meet the ex- pense of having the Territory well represented at rate hearings. All possible will be done at this end. but attendance a. hearings and oc- casional obtaining of help from special counsel is indispensable Likewise. provision for a full-tiIre assistant to the Attorney General is necessary to enable absences from the Territory to fight the rate bat tle and cope with oher issues which arise in Washington.

as the right formula TOT prosperity plus the will to maKe he formula work. Switzerland IS prO0@ to the world that any nation can have prosperity. There are just three
 eluirements:
 1. Switzerland has a real repub- l.c, through which the citizens re-
 eve to themselves real individual freedom. Nearly all laws touching ,lc lives of the people are made .ocally in districts called "cantons," corresponding roughly to our E"lrcs. Even the amount of income
 aX to be paid by the people of -Jcl canton is decided locally. Po- lltically responsibility is a reality. And real freedom of individual op- DO tunity exists.
