STILL BONE DRY
In Alaska, as throughout the bone
dry states of the Union, some requests
for information have been received
by officials as to whether the bone-dry
law still holds, or whether the regu
lations provided by the constitutional
amendment and the enforcement act
in connection therewith hold. Some
believed that the costitutional amend
«
ment would supersede the territorial
bone-dry law, which would make it
possible to obtain intoxicating liquors
at pharmacies upon prescriptions of
physicians. This is in error, however,
as the constitutional amendment wrill
permit such licenses only in the states
which did not pass prohibitory or
bone-dry regulations.
In the states where there was no
prohibition when the constitutional
amendment became effective, it is
permissable for the residents to have
intoxicants in their home for their
own use. But in Alaska the strict
bone-dry law still holds, making it an
offense for anyone to have it in his
possession for any purpose whatever.
Officials hold that the state legisla
tive bodies have the .authority to pass
such additional restrictive laws as
they see it, so long as they do not ef
fect the constitutional amendment,
aad these bone-dry laws are consider
ed aids and not inconsistencies with
the Eighteenth amendment.

POST THE SLACKERS
Alien slackers who renounced their
American citizenship rather than fight
are looking overseas for help. The
Norwegian and Swedish governments
have protested to the state depart
ment against deportation which the
American Legion demands.
This protest followed the disclosure
made by the American Legion Week
ly, in an issue of a recent date, as to
the number and location of these
first-paper slackers. This record,
which had not previously been given
to the public, was read from the
Weekly into the Congressional Record
And resulted in stimulating favorable
action of the Lufkin bill, providing
deportation.
The protesting governments plead
ed treaty rights. But it is clearly the
right of our government to deport per
sons who are “inimical to the public
welfare,” which designation fits the
first-paper slackers like a glove.
Protests must not be heeded, says
the American Legion Weekly. The
first-paper slacker must go. In taking
that action we may well sympathize
with tha protesting governments. Un
der similar circumstances we would
protest against such cattle being ship
ped back to our shores.
While alien slackers who renounced
their American citizenship to escape
military service have been listed and
classified and their deportation will
be insisted upon by the American Le
gion, other varieties of alien slackers
must not be lost sight of. It possibly
is not practicable to deport them all.
Their numbers reach into the tens of
thousands, and in many instances they
are protected by treaty rights. Since
they never swore allegiance to the
United States, their conduct was some
what less reprehensible than that of
•ur own American slackers. Certainly
they are not to be compared with the
first-paper slackers, who are the most
undesirable class next to alien ene
mies—and they must go.
But there is a stigma upon the whole
tribe of alien slackers. In deporting
tho first-paper slackers we must mete
out proportionate punishment to the
others.
The Lufkin bill (H. R. 9416), now
before Cbngress, in addition to deport
ing the first-paper slackers, would
deny citizenship to the others for a
period of five years. This is inade
Mig as they are permitted
to enjoy the benefits of living in Am
erica, withholding of citizenship would
concern them very little. The law
should provide that their names be
listed and the lists published and
posted in the communities wrhereir
they live; and they should be totally
disqualified for citizenship. This
as a minimum penalty. The Legion’s
view's in this respect have been t^tns
mitted to Congress through the legis
lative committee.

VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS
Fairbanks has even abandoned the
Wiekersham trail to Tolovana,—Ju
neau Empire.
The hot-stove navigators are still
busy discussing the reported cutting
off of the distillate supply in Alaska.
Some say that it is just as cheap to
burn gasoline as distillate, owing to
the fact that more energy is devel
oped by gasoline. One thing that we
would like to know is w'hether the fly
w'heel turns easier on gasoline than
on distillate. If it does, we are for
it.—Douglas News.
Wickersham’s statement that he
will not be a candidate for delegate
from Alaska at the next election may
be accepted at its face value at this
time. How'ever, in the ten months in
tervening between now and next No
vember he may find it convenient to
change his mind again. It wouldn’t
be the first time in the political his
tory of Alaska that such a thing had
happened.—Fairbanks Citizen.
The Nenana News says the Nenana
Commercial Club is discussing mak
ing an effort to secure a raise in w'ag
es for the interior employes of the
Alaskan Engineering Commission. It
is barely possible that official Wash
ington will look on the source as
prejudice. It is highly probable that
the railroad employes are underpaid
most government employes are. Re
presentations by the workers, them
selves, howrever, would be more ef
fective than those coming from othei
interests.—Fairbanks Citizen.
