Nugget Makes Publicity Suggestion
The editor of the Nome Daily Nugget is of the op
inion that the matter of publicity in reference to the
legislature is an important matter that should be given
attention at the coming session, and would suggest that
arrangements be made by the senators and representa
tives of all four divisions of Alaska, to introduce a meas
ure, whereby the clerks of the Senate and House pre
pare a daily review of the records of the proceedings,
from their minutes, and that same be telegraphed to
the Alaska newspapers following each day’s session or
sent the following morning, either by arrangement of
Official Territorial Business, or by a bill introduced to
provide funds for publicity of legislative doings.
This would, in the opinion of the Nome Nugget, not
only relieve the small town newspapers of the heavy
expense of telegraph tolls on top of its regular news
service, but would furnish a complete and unbiased
record of the proceedings from start to finish, which
apparently the public needs and wants, in order that
the electorate may properly keep in touch with what
the Legislature is doing or about to do.
Another feature of this publicity plan would be the
opportunity of legislators to have certain proposed bills
published throughout Alaska by the newspapers, with
out further cost, in order to enlighten the electorate on
just what the proposed bill would mean to the taxpayer
especially when the legislator or legislative body is in
doubt as to the feasibility of passing such a measure.
The voters, who are the public, would thereby have
an opportunity to read and study the bill, and if the

case w.-.rrant, they could wire their senators and legis
ator ’heir objections to certain features of the bill,
and this would have a tendency to do away with the
fights and quarrels which sometimes happen on the
acme-coming of legislators voting for certain measures,
which were extremely obnoxious to a majority of the
citi? ns, and of which they did not know the contents
f a bi until long after the legislature had adjourned.
»' we say, such publicity will not only aid the news
papers, but will aid the public and the legislators as
veil—and might be classed as a New Deal for the good
11 the territory and its citizens as a whole.
LEGISLATURE MEETS SHORTLY
/
In two weeks the Alaska Territorial Legislature will
be in full blast. Matters vital to Alaskas, and particu'
arly those of the interior will be before that body, sta
,es the News-Miner of Fairb. nks in a recent editorial.
Matters touching construction of roads, aviation
fields, crying needs of the interior, will be up for con
sideration. Questions of taxation, social security, school,
liquor control, transportation and many other affairs
vital to the progress of the territory will be considered.
Memorials will be forwarded to Congress and the
national administration.
Fairbanks and all interior Alaska have particular
interest in those matters. Recommendations which are
to be m. de through members of the various districts in
support of the wisest course to follow must be gotten
under way at once if they are to be presented in time.
There is no time to lose.
