H. G. 8TEEL, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR^
CORDOVA, ALASKA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 4, 1917.
MILLS SOON WILL BE GRINDING.
Soon the mills in the state capitols will start grinding and
the world will be helped along the path of reform a few steps
farther. Also the freak legislator will have his biennial oppor
tunity and the world will be helped to a few smiles.
Forecasts of legislative action in the west point to some
more stringent “dry” measures and several constructive pieces
of legislation are in contemplation.
In Colorado laws designated to strengthen, or make more
effective the prohibitory amendment, and measures to extend
the scope of the industrial relations and public utilities commis
sion are expected to be of chief interest.
Prohibition legislation is also proposed in New Mexico,
where submission to popular vote of constitutional amendments
providing for state wide prohibition will be acted on. Equal
suffrage, an election law, primary law, additional state highway
bond issues and changes in the road laws, taxation legislation
and an executive budget system for state appropriations are
also expected to come up.
In Utah the legislature will be occupied with a prohibition
issue. Other questions to come up are creation of a public utili
ties commission, purity of election laws, direct primary and
civil sendee.
The farmers and consumers of Montana will receive con
sideration at the hands of the legislature, it is reported. Bills
in their interests have already been prepared' and will be intro
dueed immediately.
Three leading issues are to come before the Wyoming legis
lature. The most important of these is prohibition. The others
are a plan for colonization patterned after one in vogue in some
of the Australian states and a proposal for the reapportionment
of the representation in the legislature.
While no definite announcement has been made by Gover
nor Hiram \V. Johnson of California, regarding the legislative
program that is to lie submitted to the legislature, it is generally
assumed from the composition of that body that the frequently
announced policies of the governor will be furthered. Many of
his stanchest supporters in former sessions were re-elected last
November. It has become known that the governor favors a
careful revision of the state’s taxation system.
(>ne of the stormiest sessions of the Nevada legislature is
likely. The storm centers are expected to be proposed legisla
tion changing existing divorce and' gambling laws and a pro
posal to make the state “bone dry.” The house is Democratic,
while the senate is Republican, and inflamed debate is consid
_ered inevitable.
Making operative provisions of rural credits law, provid
ing penalty clauses for a “bone dry” amendment, good roads
laws, several irrigation projects and limitation of tax increase
are among the more important issues to occupy the time of the
Oregon legislature.
—----:o:
Now tlmt you have made that good resolution see that you
stick to it.
-:o:
\\ hat the country is suffering from today is indigested im
purities.
---;o :
England finds it necessary to be stocking up, and therefore
she lifts the hosiery embargo.
--:o:-.—
There’s a nut rattling in the man who can’t look at 1917
with smiling expectation. It’s bringing prosperity plus.
■--:0:
Colonel Roosevelt is said to be the gay little miner who
planted the saltpetre beneath Mr. Mann’s advanced trenches.
--:o:---—
Princess Chiraay left an estate of $1,174,000, and that’s all
she did leave. She dissipated her reputation several years ago.
— --— :o:-—
It begins to look as though the rival steamship companies
intend to provide us with exceptionally good transportation fa
cilities during the coming summer. More and better boats are
to be put on this run, all of which will be appreciated by the
public.
— -----— :o:--—
The way the warring nations are turning on President
Wilson gives one ray of hope at any rate. Like the traditional
family quarrel in which the angry wife and husband forget
their wrath in attacking n would-be peace maker, the belliger
ents seem about to forget their mutual hostilities in heaping
opprobrium on the American executive.
-:o:
The Ketchikan Miner is authority for the statement that
Delegate Wickersham introduced a bill in congress recently for
various purposes, among which is a provision muking Alaska
an “absolute prohibition territory.” As no further informa
tion has been received in verification of the above statement
the probabilities are that it’s only a pipe dream.
-;o:
A strong etfort is being made to enact in this congress leg
islation increasing postal rates on second class matter. It is pro
posed to introduce a zone system, and to make a large increase
on matter going beyond a limited circle. This will be a direct
blow to subscribers to periodicals, who will have to pay for
their magazines a great deal more than at present, for the pub
lishers cannot stand it and' will have to pass it on.
-:o;
Villa is reported to be ready to make |>eace with the United
StateB and kill no more Americans. He “has made overtures"
to L ncle Sam, according to word from the border. That mur
derer’s impudence may yet put us in a good humor toward him.
I erhaps he has concluded after observing events for three or
four y ears that watchful waiting also embraces a wide latitude
°r orghing and forgetting. A man of Villa’b resource uud
action is foolish to bo wasting any more time in the useless kill
mg of Americans; he ought to get into the moving picture busi
ness. There’s millions in it.
