Legislative Report
For Rotary
The Democrats were better
organized in the House at the
last Territorial session of the
Legislature and passed legis
lation faster and smoother
than the Senate, Marshall
Crutcher, president of the
Bank of Kodiak, told the Ro
tary Club Tuesday.
Crutcher was guest speaker
following the regular luncheon
of the club at the Montmartre
Inn.
He was selected chairman
of the legislative committee
of the Alaska Bankers As
sociation during its last meet
ing and during the session
of the Territorial Legislature
he spent considerable time in
Juneau assisting the legisla
tors rewrite the territorial
banking laws.
“The Senate was equally
divided between Republicans
and Democrats and most of
the measures coming before
that body received consider
able debate,” Crutcher said.
He expected to remain in
Juneau for only a short time
but was forced to stay during
most of the session because of
the tremendous job of bring
ing the banking laws up to
date and writing amendments
to the old ones he said.
He explained that prior to
the passage of new banking
legislation this year all of the
former banking laws had been
written from 1900 to 1910.
“The progress made by A
laskan banks during the past
few years made the old laws
out of date,” Crutcher said.
