New Liquor Bill
Contains Local
Option Proviso
By JIM HUTCHESON
JUNEAU, U*) — A substitute
liquor control bill ^dropped into
the Senate file at the week’s end
carries a section that probably
can be labeled accurately as a
‘^limited local option” proviso.
The bill would allow the voters
at a precinct outside an incorpor
ated city or town to keep any
liquor establishments from com
ing in. But it also carries a clause
that holders of existing liquor li
censes can’t be booted out of the
precinct by any local vote, as long
as they abide by the liquor laws.
The bill was introduced by Sens.
Paul Robison and Gerrit Snider,
Third Division Republicans. It
substitutes for one they dropped
in the first week of the session,
then pulled out. Robison had de
scribed it at the time as a bill
providing for local option, but
that provision had been omitted
in the drafting.
To get a local option election in
an outside precinct under the pro
posed law, 35 percent of the total
number of voters in the last gen
eral election would bave to peti
tion for it. The petition could set
forth whether the vote should be
on the issue of any liquor sales at
all in the precinct or whether it
ccwld be sold only in stores, in
restaurants or at bars.
Incorporated cities and towns
already h-ave the little-used right
of local option on liquor.
The bill would tighten the
liquor law provisions in some re
spects, relax them a bit in others.
Here's a box score on some of
the bill’s high spots:
Tightening — It sets bar closing
hours for the whole territory; for
bids liquor sales on credit; makes
the 200-foot distance a liquor sell
er must be from a school count
from the school ground, not the
schoolhouse; extends the distance
Wednesday, February 18, 1953
to a quarter mile outside of town;
sets limits for the dumber of dis
pensaries in towns—but not tod
tightly. Present license holders
are “safe” if they mind the rules
and 50-room hotels could get
under the wire regardless of the
limit.
Relaxing—Signatures for a li
cense endorsement, within three
miles of a town’s limits, would
have td be secured only from a
quarter mile instead of from two
miles around; feminine waitresses
“of good moral character” would
be allowed in drinking spots; a
woman could even “mix or con
coct drinks” if she were the man
ager or license holder; closure
penalties for the first and second
violation of liquor laws would be
lessened but an establishment still
would forfeit its license and be
padlocked after a third.
The new bill also would provide
i that if anyone under'21 and over
16 buys or tries to buy liquor he
would be guilty of an offense. The
present law puts sole responsibili
ty on the dispensary if a minor is
' on the premises. It still would be
responsible and could lose its li
cense after three offenses.
! The bill calls for a five-day re
voking of the license for a first
I liquor law violation instead of
! 45 days; 15 for the second, instead
; of 90.
i The bill has the same closing
hour provisions as the one intro
duced two weeks earlier. It would
set a 1 a.m. closing except in night
I spots where there is live enter
| tainment and where the cabaret
tax is paid. They could stay open
to 2 a.m.
The bill would forbid cities to
change those hours.
One of the complaints reported
from bar operators in such cities
as Anchorage and Fairbanks is
that the cities clamp down on
closing hours while the spots out
side the cities, but in easy drunk
en driving range, can operate
into the wee hours and draw the
trade after the city spots are
closed.

Self-Employed Persons
Reminded They Required
File Income Tax Return
James G. Browne, manager of
the Social Security Administra
tion field office in Juneau, re
minds self-employed persons that
they may be required to file a
self-employment tax return. This
return may be necessary even
though they have not had enough
income in 1952 to file a personal
income tax return.
Any self-employed person who
is not a member of one of the ex
cepted professions, is required to
file a self-employment tax return
if he has had net income from his
trade or business of $400 or more
in 1952. The self-employment tax
return must be filed with the
Bureau of Internal Revenue by
March 15, 1953.
Browne stated that self-em
ployment income reported is cred-‘
ited to the social security record
of the person reporting. The total
of self-employment and wages in
the individuals record determines
the amount of benefits payable to
him when he is eligible for pay
ments. Any person who does not
have a social security account
number card can obtain an appli
cation from his post office or by
writing to the Social Security
Field Office, Juneau, Alaska.
