i, ■ —
(Valdez Miner)
As yet we have received no word
from prominent opponents of the
unicameral legislature as to the
reasons for their stand. Forrest
J. Hunt, a prominent citizen of
southeastern Alaska, and several
times member of the Territorial
Legislature, has come out in fav
or of the plan and many others,
including our own prominent lo
cal Senator believe it would solve
many expensive problems and de
lays.
The statement that it would
give the First Division all the
power by the establishment of a
one-house legislature is not a fact.
The First Division under the pre
sent set-up has no more power
than any other division despite its
powerful lobbies. Why should it
have any more power if it is rep
resented by one man than six or
eight if the remaining divisions
had the same representation?
There is no doubt that a unica
meral legislature would save us
many thousands of dollars; give
us better legislation, and pass its
bills much more quickly. Under
present legislation when a bill is
introduced it goes to a commit
tee. It is then sent back for pas
sage, so amended its author scar
cely recognizes it, and if it fails
to pass, it goes back to another
committee. Most important bills
have met opposition in one or an
other of the Houses. It is in the
!
committee that the lobbyists are
able to work to kill off a bill or
have it passed.
The Governor then has the pow
er to pass the bill or veto it. It
must be vetoed in a certain time
I or it passes automatically. With
all this jobbery it is impossible
to get quick work with so many
minds trying to chisel some ad
vantage for their constituents.
By all means let us simplify our
legislation.
REFORMING THE WORLD.
There are numerous plans sug
gested to reform human nature
and to improve the general con
dition of the world. Most of them
express the author's ideas about
what other people should do and,
strange to say. other people rare
ly take them seriously.
Every individual has an oppor
tunity to play a part in the great
march of humanity. It can be
undertaken without bothering
neighbors or friends and all that
it needs is your own consent.
To intelligently understand life,
to appreciate the complications
inherent in human nature and. so
far as possible, to correct one’s
own errors is within the power
of every person. It may require
some willingness to inventory
one’s assets and to give up pre
judiced conclusions. Art the same
time it is a positive avenue of
action that enables one to contri
bute something to life generally.

Chalks Up Six
Brown Bears
(Continued From Page One)
“The party bagged six brown
bears, all of them over eight feet
in length and four of them over
nin feet." Harris said. The wo
jmen each shot one and the men
bagged two apiece.''
The biggest bear, shot, by Mel
lon, was 10 feet, two inches long
and nine feet, ten inches wide—
skinned, but unstretched, Harris
declared. The next largest was
nine feet, five inches by nine feet
four inches.
“There were five yachts hunt'
ing in the same region as we
were,”Harris recalled, “so I didn't
expect much. But that was a re
cord trip—I haven't seen luck
like that in 20 years. The big
bears used to be plentiful, but it’s
a rare day when you can shoot
so many of them on one trip now
adays—too many mothers with
cubs are being killed in the spring
now.”
In his seasonal report to the
Alaska Game Commission this
year, Harris protested the lack of
protection given to mother bears
and cubs. He pointed out that
hunters, being permitted to shoot1
any bear often leave cubs to star
ve after their mother is shot.
"We ought to have a law for
bidding the bagging of female
bears in the spring season, Harris
believes. “I've hunted and guid
ed since 1907, so I know how the
bear population is decreasing in
Southeastern Alaska. If the law
will protect cubs and mothers in
the spring, the bear hunting in j
this part of the Territory will
last for a long time.”
