By a vote of nine to seven, exact
ly as several speakers had predicted
during the day’s debate on the
measure, the rejuvenated Comptroll
er Bill passed the House and as
Speaker Smith announced the result
of the roll call, laughter swept >
through the galleries.
Throughout the afternoon the gal
leries were filled to overflowing.
The greatest amount of applause was
given to Representative Gaffney,
Nome veteran, whose address against
the bill was really the feature. Rep
resentative J. H. Murray, whose re
cord for service is the longest of
any member of either branch, said.
“Mr. Gaffney’s speech was the finest
I have ever heard delivered at any
session since I have been coming to
Juneau.”
Two members, Representatives
Ross, Fairbanks, and Paul, Ketchi- j
kan, made speeches in the measure’s
defense, and Mr. Grier read a letter
from L. V. Ray, Seward lawyer and
president of the First Alaska legis
lature, to Judge Wickersham endors
ing the idea of the Comptroller pro
gram.
Amend Smith Memorial
Speaker Smith’s memorial urging
the removal of the Territorial capi
tal from Juneau to Anchorage was
amended in seodnd reading. Mr.
Murray offered an amendment nam
ing Seward in place of Anchorage
and Mr. Smith amended this by sub
stituting “or Seward”, making it
read move capital to either Anchor
age or Seward. This, of course,
necessitated eliminating the Speak
er’s laudation of Anchorage which
| the original memorial had included.
The memorial passed its second
reading but as it was amended will
probably not come up for final vote
before Friday.
Mr. Murray’s measure requiring
evidence of sale as a necessary ele
ment in securing search warrants
for private homes in cases charging
violation of the prohibition laws, and
a bill by Mr. Worth repealing all
fur taxes heretofore levied by the
Territory, passed second reading
without amendment and will come
jup lor final passage tomorrow.
Mr. Murray, proceeding with his
objections to the Comptroller bill
argument, cited a precedent, claimed
by him to be directly parallel to the
present instance, from the journal of
the Senate in the First Alaska Legis
lature in 1913. This same matter
was before President L. V. Ray, of
that body, for several days. In rend
ering his ruling, which was adverse
to a measure substantially the same
as one already acted on by the Sen
ate, he declared the adoption of anv
other and contrary practice would
entail endless confusion in legislative
councils, hamper the transaction of
business and might defeat important
legislation,
Mr. Loman introduced a memorial
asking the War Department to es
tablish radio stations at Teller and
Candle.
In considering House Bill No. IS,
an effort was made to cut the bounty
on coyotes from $15 to $10, but it
was defeated by a vote of 12 to 4.
To discriminate between Ahe animals,
Mr. Sheldon claimed, would start
“bootlegging in coyote feet,” pointing
out that in the past it was known
that the feet of coyotes had been
turned in as feet of young wolves m
order to -collect the wolf bounty
from the Treasurer.

WIT TRADE WORTH
MILLIONS TO MICn
LANSING, Mich.. April 26. (/P)—
With the first breath of spring Mich
igan is burnishing up a stock in
trade which brings millions of dol
lars a year to the state—its tourist
resorts. Michigan has 53 state parks,
more than any other state. All but
three are situated on water. There
art no “keep out” signs, and the only
restriction on visitors is that they
do not destroy property. The grow
ing tourist army left last yeari in
Michigan an amount estimated at
$250,000,000 and tfce state counts its
resort trade second or third among
| its assets.
