THE EMPIRE’S SOPHISTRY
The Juneau Empire, with a most laudible intent,
steps forward to correct The Gateway in what it char
acterizes as an error of judgement in blaming the lack
of beer in Seward to the Legislature.
Now it is our turn to chide the Empire for its equal
ly laudible efforts to apologize for the dilatory action of
the Legislature in not being _ prepared and, like other
states and territories, immediately pass a bill setting
forth who could sell beer and under what conditions.
A canvas of Seward found but one establishment
with sufficient courage to embark upon selling beer. To
do this it was necessary to exercise individual judge
ment in alterations of the building in anticipation of the
possibility that beer would be permitted only at tables
and while seated, despite the fact that it has one of the
finest bars in Alaska. These alterations cost much money.
It so happened that others wishing to dispense
beer, especially the cafes, refrained from alterations and
the introduction of the beverage because none knew what
the territorial tax would be, or what regulations would
emanate from the Legislature, w'hich may have the ef
fect of nullifying their business and leaving them bur
dened with costs of alterations.
As the Empire pointed out, there was no lawT in the
interim of the repeal of the Alaska bone dry law and the
final action of the Legislature to prevent anyone selling
beer. The Gateway went so far as to point out that any
one paying the U. S. revenue tax could sell it fro.ni a
goods box on the corner. Thus wTe were not so steeped
in ignorance as the Empire would have one suppose.
It would be interesting to hear the Empire’s com
ment upon a Legislature which repealed one statute in
anticipation of another to govern the same subject be
fore the substitute was prepared, and, under ordinary
parliamentary proceedings would repeal the preceding
one. This is what the Legislature did thus leaving an in
terim of chaos and uncertainty.
The same action was followed respecting placer lo
cations. The Legislature repealed the only law on the
statutes of Alaska setting forth rules for staking placer.
Now we read that it has another law in process of pass
age to cover the subject.
One may readily understand the confusion follow
ing such action, and the possible litigation which might
be the outgrowth of this repealing of one law before
having its substitute ready to take its place.
No, we haven’t one word to take back in criticizng
the Legislature .for putting the cart before the horse.
The New Deal does not presuppose a revolution in the
Legislative process of the nation.
Sourdough Bill says: The greatest relief would be
relief from them that’s asking the government for re
lief instead of polishing a pick and shovel themselves.
★ ★ ★ ★
Since w'e have no pines, the new' crop of beer hounds
will sing: Sweet Sal and Luce, for you I spruce.
Hr ★ ★
The agitation for abolishing the Legislature should
be frowned down. What would we have to amuse us be
tween the time the blizzards depart and the wrater began
running!
