RAISING FUNDS
CHIEF WORK OF
LEGISLATURE
In declaring that the principal work
of the legislature is to raiBe money,
Senator J. R. Heckman says: "We find
that our treasury is not in as good a
financial condition as we would like,
and therefore the most important
thing we have to do is to raise money.
To do this, taxes have to be raised.
During the year 1918, the fisheries
paid 71% per cent of the taxes of the
territory and from present indica
tions, the fish will have to stand
another raise.
"It will cost the territory about
$500,000 for the schools in the next
two years, Pioneers’ Home $100,000,
pensions $50,000, and ther will have
to be at least $100,000 apropriated for
health and sanitary, to take care of
the ‘flu,’ and many other smaller
amounts, so you see we must increase
the taxes,” Mr. Heckman explained.
"Indications are,” he declared, "that
the eight-hour law will pass, with time
and one half for overtime. Of course
you know it is dangerous to a per
son’s health to work over eight hours
without extra pay!
“There is no doubt but that my
hatchery bill will pass,” Mr. Heck
man said hopefully, “and if it does, I
Will see the governor get it before
we adjourn. Last session it was lost
on account of the carelessness of the
clerk of the enate in not presenting it
to the governor before the close of
the session.”
The senate will probably pass the
Heckman bill providing for the estab
lishment of fish hatcheries, experi
mentaton in fish propagation,t the
clearing of streams, patrolling of,
waters and other matters as it was
recommended for passage by the!
senate committee of the whole.
The bill meets with the favor of
all the senators, the Alaska fish and
game club, fishermen, cannery men
and others who have investigated its
terms.
The bill carries with it the appoint
ment of Charles D. Garfield, Charles
Goldstein, C. J. Alexander, J. R.
Beegle of the First division and W.
R. Hillery and Hugh Daharty of the
Third division as memberB of the ter
ritorial board of fish commissioners.
Gov. Thomas Riggs, jr., and the
members of the committees on edu
cation in the . legislature, Senator
Britt, Senator Hess, Senator Sund
back, Mr. Pennington, Mr. Casey, Mr.
Nordale and Mr. Slater were enter
tained at luncheon at the schoolhouse
by the members of the domestic
science class.
Mayor Gray and members of the
school committee of the city council;
were also present, as were the school |
board of Juneau.
Representative Nordale, chairman
of the committee on elections, etc.,
reported favorably Representative
Davies’ bill making it necessary to be
a citizen before one can vote in a
municipal election in Alaska. The
present municipal incorporation act
allows residents having other neces
sary qualifications to vote if they
have taken out their first papers.
JAPS WANT TO ACQUIRE
AMERICAN MACHINERY
LOUISVILLE, Ky„ April 16 (by As
sociated Press).—Japanese agents are
negotiating with American distillers
for the purchase of machinery in their
plants after prohibition becomes ef
fective. The machinery would be
shipped to Japan for use in distilla
tion of whiskey there, according to
Y. Kawahara, agent for a Japanese
American importing concern.
A bill before the Japanese Diet
would prohibite use of rice in the
manufacture of sake, the Japanese

national drink. Japanese distillers
now want foreign made machinery in
which corn and other cereals can be
substitued for rice, Kawahara said.
He added that 24,000,000 bushels of
rice are used annually in making
300,000,000 gallons of sake.
American distillers are reluctant to
sell their machinery now, in view of
the suit to test the constitutionality
of the prohibiton law.
MARINES ORGANIZE
SOCIAL CLUB KNOWN
AS THE “DEVIL DOGS”
LOS ANGELES, April 15 (by Asso
ciatd Press).—Wihat is believed to be
the first social organization ever
formed by members of the United
States marine corps was oragnized
when the Marines from every war
since the Civil war met here recently.
The society has been named the title
the Germans bestowed on the Ma
rines—the “Devil Dogs.”
hirst Sergeant T. C. McLaughlin
was elected temporary chairman of
the organization. The action, of these
Marines, it is thought, will be the sig
nal for the formation of like societies
in (ther sections of the country.
