CAN YOU BEAT IT!
The Legislature of Alaska has full constitutional
powers to compile and pass a law regulating the saie of
beer as provided by the Congress of the United States.
It may define who may dispense beer by setting up
^l* it is then up to the police power of the Territory to
enforce these laws as it enforces all laws coming within
the police powers of the United States marshal s office
and town policemen. . . , -
Yet, on tnis simple background, it is proposed m an
amendment to the pending beer bill at Juneau to leave
the work of defining who shall dispense beer, all ques
tions of qualifications with respect to character, etc., to
the Federal District Judges!
Possibly no more grotesque suggestion was ever
made in any stale or territory where constitutional pow
ers permit of regulation of their own affan s.
In thus attempting to shift the responsibility 01 the
Legislature to Federal shoulders, it goes so far as to del
egate police powers to the judges, something unheard of
save under the oid prohibition laws, wheie legislative
and executive powers were sought to be combined.
Federal judges will be called upon to deal with liquor
cases where they infringe the Federal laws, and may sit
in judgement on purely territorial infractions. One can
imagine the confusion which would follow a judge hav
ing given powers to an individual to sell beer and then
have that individual come before him for judgement!
The Territory is already equipped with every agency
for dealing with the beer question without shoving
the entire question off onto the shoulders of Federal
authorities.
As the matter appears at a distance, the Legislature
has a case of cold feet and lacks the courage to perform
the functions for which it wras elected.
It remains to be seen if President Roosevelt’s plans
to put Muscle Shoals into the power racket will evoke
bombs from the big shots of the game.

Ten years ago the territorial legislature voted to
substitute a ringmaster for governor. If the law had
passed it would have to be amended to change it to wild
animal tamer.

The press of the world will welcome Jimmy Walker’s
marriage to the actress. He will savq telegraph toils and
make room for real news—until the usual finale.
★ ★ ★ ★
It appears that the surest way to balance the Terri
torial budget, cut out taxes altogether and have an abun
dance of money for roads, pioneers, etc., is to book the
sponsors of the “Judiciary” amendment to the beer bill
in some good museum.

Judged by the reaction since legalized beer arrived
the nation is so pacific it could kiss Hitler.

Responding to telegraphic re
quests from the Pacific Fisheries
and other canning organizations
with headquarters in the States,
a list of more than 400 names of
resident fishermen willing to ac
cept positions onv the drift-net
grounds and in the canneries of
the Bristol Bay region, have been
forwarded. The names were sent
in by an association of resident
fishermen as a means of respond
ing to the proffer of employment.
The fishermen have also set
themselves to keep tab on non
resident fishermen, many of whom
are said to have come in during
the last few weeks and whom, it
is alleged, have sought to slip in
under the head of resident fish
ermen and profit by the willingness
of the canneries to employ only
residents.
To thwart this undercover ef
fort, the names of these men have
been supplied to the Bureau of
Fisheries supervisors. and when j
they apply for licenses will come j
up against the non-residence tax. j
It is reported the same system |
sought to be applied to Bristol Bay j
is being introduced in Southeastern ;
Alaska with a view to favoring |
resident fishermen insetad of us- j
ing all imported help.
