 Montgomery outlined many of the things that came in for regu- lation from rent and price control to pure food and pollution control. He said that Alaskans especially resented regulations, that many of them had come here to avoid so many restrictions, but as the coun- try settled up. more and more reg ulations would be imposed. He also pointed out the necessity of con- trols and stated, Tt seems to be the price we are paying for our civilization.'
 Granting that we must have regulations, and thousands of per sons to enforce them, it becomes necessary to have competent, train- ed persons to do it." he said. For persons who can enforce rules iairly and impartially, the program necessitates a program similar to the Merit System to avoid appoint ments because of pull or favorit- ism"
