Senate Delays Passage
Of Alaska Beverage Law
The Ilellerieh beer bill,
which at last accounts had
been passed by the lower house
of the Alaska Legislature and
was in the hands of the Senate
Judiciary Committee, was
passed by the latter body a
few days ago, blit in a so much
revised and altered condition
that even Representative Hell
erich was loath Ho recognize it
as his baby. As a result the
legislation was still pending at
the date of the last report and
it is probable that many joint
conferences will be necessary
before it is finally approved.
-o
Mrs. J. L. Campbell, who left
for the 'louth some days ago to
secure medical assistance, was
operated on successfully in
Portland last week, accciding
to advices deceived by local
friends. At last accounts she
was convalescing nicely.
Legislature Doing Good Work
Juneau observer:' report that
the Alaska Legislature, for the
first time in years, is not cud
geling its individual brains to
devise new legislation. Instead
it is devoting much of its ener
gies to clearing away the dead
wood in existing legal enact
ments by altering or repealing
the numerous statutes that
have grown obsolete or defic
J ient with the passage f time
and changing conditions.
The number of new measures
so far introduced has been rel
atively small compared to ear
lier sessions, when there was a
plethora of wealth in the treas
1 ury.

| BrItifh Premier were also said
to have reached an understand
ing on war debts and an eco
nomic recovery program which
includes tariff reductions and
higher silver prices, as well as
an accord on a new gold stand
ard basis. The adoption of a
new gold standard basis under
the President’s plan would en
able the nations now off the
gold standard to gradually re
sume it and is expected to in
duce an upward swing in world
commodity values and elimi
nate the barriers to internation
al trade resulting from widely
fluctuating foreign exchanges.
The reports indicated that
much political opposition to
the President’s inflationary
plans had developed in the
Senate. Decrying the Admin
istration proposals as “an in
sane scheme,” Senator David
Reed of Pennsylvania has led
the Republican attack in the
upper house but the reports in
dicate little opposition head
way against the strong Demo
cratic majority. Ogden L*
Mills, secretary of the treasury
during the Hoover administrat
ion and one of the stoutest sup
ooiters of the gold standard,
appeared in Washington to lob
by against the Administration
orogram, according to reports.
Numerous opposition amend
ments have been offered in the
Senate to circumvent the
Farm Loan Bill amendment
carrying the Roosevelt inflat
ion plans but were unsuccess
ful, although the silver feat
ures of the program threatened
for a time to split the Democrt
ic party in the Senate and pro
voke a long and bitter contro
versy. The Republicans pro
fess to see in the Administrat
ion proposals a threat of un
controlled inflation leading to
financial disaster, such as ob
tained in Germany after the
war. Professor Irving Fisher of
Yale, concededly one of the
world’s foremost economists,
was quoted as defending the
inflation proposals, asserting
that the Republican opposition
was “in line with time-worn
traditions. Inflation should
be used until it works enough,
then it should be stopped,” he
declared. Fisher contended it
can be stopped, “for we shall
be stronger, not weaker,” he
said. Fisher added that he
thought inflation at this time
was a “defense measure.”
Secretary Woodin was quot
ed as saying “With this bill,
the depression is over. If it is
administered in a business-like
way we can combat anything.”
Speaker Rainey was reported
as saying that the proposal to
accept $100,000,000 in silver
on war debts would result in
placing silver on a 16 to 1 bas
is. The silver provisions have
the endorsement of Senators
Pittman and Wheeler, the lat
ter, with Senator King of Utah,
being the author of the free
coinage provisions.
