FIGHT STARTED
IN HOUSE OVER
COLLEGE FUNDS
Ross Offers Substitute for
Foster Bill—Seeks Boost
Low Estimates.
fOontinueo o<rom Pivge One.)
Judgment of the majority of the1
members, solely because it was rep
retented to them that future appro
priations for buildings, enlarge-1
meats, etc., would not be asked from ,
the Territorial Treasury. He re-j
viewed the history of other appro
priations by later Legislatures in
support of which, he said, similar
Claims were made It is now ad
mitted, he continued, that in the
future it will take $50,000 annually
to support the college. In the near
future, be warned, in order to meet,
rapidly mounting costs of Govern
ment, in which the college is not an
unimportant item, it will be found I
to put a physical tax on both per
sonal and real property.
Air. Foster took a similar position.
He argued that the college is being
enlarged more rapidly than is nec
essary, reciting the early exper-;
iences of Pacific coast colleges taj
prove his contention.
Keys says Not Enough.
Mr. Keys supporting the amend
ment, declared he had not bean
able to convince himself that the
sum now sought was sufficient. He
admitted he came to Juneau with
the conviction that a much larger
amount was necessary to meet the
demands of the institution, lie de-j
Hied that it was becoming a local |
Institution and that the college is,
likely to become a political foot
ball.
Accommodations at the college ure
not sufficient for the students jvbo
will attend it during the next two!
years, argued Mr. Ross. He said;
that the estimates had been cut!
down as far as possible and that
any smaller sum would not be real
economy. The Territory Is spending1
more than a half-million dollars bi
ennially on itB primary educational
system and loses much of the bene
fits to be dervied from it because
Its high school graduates leave the1
Territory to enter colleges in the!
Staaes and many of them never re-j
turn.
The sum sought In Ills amend
ment he said, hnd been agreed upon
by the Ways and Means Committee.
It did not cover the dormitory and
agricultural department buildings
asked for in the estimates of the
regents, including only a school of
mines building and malntenanle.
The mines building, he argued, is
absolutely necessary and if one is
not provided, it will be necessary
to cut out the mining Bhort courses!
given to miners and prospectors in
order to have room to take care ofi
the regular work being given In I
that department. No action had
been taken by the House early this!
afternoon.
Force Meaiure Out.
.The House this morning forced out'
of the Ways and Means Committee
the Raelsou bill appropriating
$126,OOu for the Alaska Fish Com
mission, authorizing the establish
ment of four new hatcheries and
continued operations by the Com
mission. Chairman Iloss said the!
bill had not been studied by the
Committee and it was reported
Hiltbout recommendation.
A fight was made to keep it in
Committee but failed. The tote on
the motion ordering it reported to
the House ‘'forthwith” stood ninej
to seven. Mr. Ross made a point ofi
order against the Speaker's decision!
that the motion had passed, declar-j
ing that it took a trwo-thirds vote -to j
carry. He was over-ruled by Speak-!

VAMP RENO COPS
HK.VO, Nev , April 30. -Chief of
Police John M. Kirkley says tha
la'dies are vamping his officers and
lienee the fact that fewer women
than men are taken into custody
here.
“It is trite." lie declared in a re
eenit interview, "(hat more men than
women were arrested last year for
careless automobile driving, but It
hadn’t ough't to ibe that way. It is
all because the police don't know how
to handle the ladies.
“If a man gets stubborn w, can
: handle him, .but if a lady refuses to
ibe arrested, what are we going to
’■do?"
I Chief Kirkley asserts that Reno
women don't make as good automo
bile drivers as men. “They're cure
less and irresponsible and they never
know the traffic rules," he said.
