THE LIQUOR QUESTION
The liquor question promises
to loom large at this session of
the Territorial Legislature.
Let us hope that it won’t take
•up so much of the legislator’s
time that other important ques
tions will be rushed through or
crowded out.
Moreover, what is the use of
making a new set-up and passing
a lot of new regulations which
won’t be enforced after they are
passed any better perhaps than
the present laws are enforced.
No plan will be found entirely
satisfactory.
The best plan is to enforce the
laws we have.
A permit system for hard liq
uor would be no improvement
over the present set-up.
Some would like strict prohib
ition, but we might as wrell forget
about that. If it ccmes. it will be
over the objections of the major
ity of Alaskan residents and be
cause of the Indian angle, and
through Washington bureaus.
Not with the consent of the
governed! One such experience
was enough.
At one time we though the best
“cure” might be to allow liquor s
to be sold like groceries or any j
other produce in order that ex
cesses might the sooner effect so
briety.
But we know better now.
We believe that the old plan of
high licenses and allowing mixed
drinks and hard liquor to be sold
over the bars is the best plan yet
devised. Not every Tom, Dick
and Itarry, for instance, could
scrape together $1,500 for a lic
ense. and once it was secured the
proprietor would “police his own
premises” to keep from losing
his license.
We already have plenty of ex
amples of States trying both sys
tems. Under the permit system
there are more abuses than in
States where liquor is sold 'over
the bar. Washington has the per
mit system. There week-end par
ties load themselves up with
flasks and seek roadside inns and
other places and have a “roaring
good time.” In Arizona and Cal
ifornia patrons can get liquor
over the bar and there is not the
same incentive for people ' "to
load themselves up” in order to
be sure of a supply.
The hardest part of the nut to
crack in Alaska is, of course, the
Indian angle. Both whites and In
dians would like to see some
thing done about this. It is sug
gested that health legislation I
might carry provisions for deny-1
ing liquor to Indians. Surely spec
ial legislation could be securedj
from Congress to meet the situa
tion without making the whites

Makes Return Flight
To St. I>awrence Is.
Returning today to her home
i and husband on St. Lawrence Is
| land in the middle of Bering Sea.
after recuperating from an opera
! tion in Nome hospital, was the
experience of Mrs. Frank Dau
I gherfy, wife of the Office of In
dian Affairs teacher on the is
land.
Pilot Hans Mirow, in his fast
Lockheed Vega plane, hopped off
j about 11 a.m. today, from Nome,
: accompanied by flight mechanic
Bill Jefford, and Mrs. Daugherty
the only passenger, made the
successful trip landing at the
village of Gamble, St. Lawrence
Island, approximately 1:30 p. m.
This trip signalizes the first
emergency mail flight from
Nome to St. Lawrence Island.
Nearly 500 lbs. of mail was tak
en and it is figured that there
will be between 500 and 1000
pounds of mail matter including
a shipment of furs on the return
■ trip to Nome.
Leaving Nome about 11 a.m. to
day, in 25 below zero weather,
the plane headed west toward
Teller and Port Clarence Bay,
passing the mouth of Lost River
(Tin Mining section), within the
hour, thence heading for Bering
Straits, crossing over Little Dio
i mede and Big Diomede Islands
1 to the Siberian coast line.
Skirting the Siberian coast to
ward Indian Point, Pilot Mirow
rad’oed that he was about 25
miles NE of Kane Island shortly
before 1 p.m. and heading for
I St. Lawrence Island, weather
■cold and clear, everything fine.
| Shortly after one o'clock the
plane was coming in for a land
ing at the village of Gamble, the
home town (so to speak), of Mr.
and Mrs. Daugherty, Office of
Indian Affairs bureau teachers.
The plane will stay over night
at Gamble, giving the necessary j
time for the population to answer
letters and order next summer’s j
supplies which will bs shipped
via boat, in June and July. A
heavy shipment of furs will also
be sent to Nome on the plane,
the first time in history. Hereto
fore the fur shipments usually
were held for next summer’s
boats which did not reach Seattle
until July.
The Eskimos of this island run
cooperative stores and it is re
ported that they are the most
wealthy tribe in all Alaska. There
business exchange has always
been at Seattle, but now that the
airplane makes it possible to con
tact via airplane mail, get their
furs to market, when the market
prices are higher, no doubt Nome
postoffice and the community
will greatly prosper in the future
by airplane contact. Chamber of
Commerce take note. j
