Pass Many Bills
The sesslion will go down in his
tory as one of the (busiest in the
Iftnst decade of territorial government
in Alaska. A total oif 104 measures
(were passed out of the 180 intro
duced Contrary to the experience of
Ifortner Legislature's, most Of the bills
were introduced in the Senate in
stead of originating dn the lower
House. In the upper House 120 bills
were presented >and B0 In the Hou
'Slxtiy-nlne Senate bills were en
acted 'and 35 House bills. Nine of
the iSenatels 'bills were either lot:

v lumbered to death in eunmltteea
r As usual the House surpassed 11
■iselif in 'the Introduction of memorials.
Twenty-two of 'these ware brought ill
ion almost as many dlfiferent subjects.
Aill but six of these wore passed. A
tconsidenable number of resolutions
were alisio introduced.
Fisheries Popular Subject
* The subject of fisheries occupied
much, of itho time of the Legislature,
bill's, memorials and resolutions being
introduced on various phases of the
Industry. The first law ever passed
'by a Territorial Legislature was put
on t:ho statute books to attempt Ter
ritorial regulation af fishing opera
tions, largely due to the Initiative
and hard work of Representative
Thomas C. Price, aided by the per
'ttotfal Influence Of J. R. Heckman,
who was mainly responsible for the
provisions in the bill which 'became
jaw In addition to the Price lb.11,
Ithe Legislature passed a second bill
as a part of a resolution offered by
Representative W. D. Grant of Wran
gell, which wHl be .presented to ('on
gress with a request that it be enact
ed into law. Mo monads were passed
condemning the (ftshleties re.-erv i
policy of the Federal government,
passed a't the request of Delegate
Sutherland, whlo remained here dur
ing a large part of the term. A
resolution directing the Attorney Getj
ertal to take steps to test the validity
of .Presidential orders creating fit h
Deserves was passed but failed to
pass over veto of Governor Bone, and
(the |5,000 appropriation to cover
expenses of this contemplated action,
which paissed the House in the gen
eral appropriations bill, wa» stricken
from tihe measure by tthe Senate and
iwas not reinstated in conference
Enlarge Compensation Act
The subject Of 'Industrial Insurance
was given considerable attention by
the Legislature. What is generally
(regarded as one of the most im
ipoiltamt bills passed dealt with this
subject and extended the workmen's
compensation act heretofore applying
looly to the mining industry, to vir
tually all other (industries in the
Territory and increasing by 30 per
cent the amounts of compensation to!
Injured workmen allowed under the
old tow. This bill was drawn up
originally by Senator Ayer, wlvo also
wrote moat of tho amendments later
adopted. It. was guided through the
Senate by him and Senator lJimond
and through the House largely by
Representative Daly. The state
monopolistic (industrial system bill
introduced in the House by Repre
sentative's Wilson and Decker and In
tihe Senate by Senator Brown failed
of passage when lit was 'brought to
the floor Of the Senate.
The subject, however, may be given
serious consideration by the 1923
Legislature. This Is indicated by the

LIBRARY GIFT
OF SHERMAN TO
FOREST SERVICE
Assistant Forester Gives 71
Volumes as Nucleus Marine
Library for This District.
Assistant Forester E. A. Sherman
has presented 71 volumes as a
nucleus for a marine library to the
Forest Service boats operating in
this district, according to advice
received from him by C. H. Flory,
District Supervisor. The library will
be known as the Sherman Marine
Library, as named by Mr. Flory
The books for the nucleus library
are now on the way to Alaska. They
include works of high-class Action,
travels, explorations and histories.
Following the plan suggested by
Mr. Sherman for the library, the
headquarters will be on the Ranger
Tahn and from that boat will be
distributed throughout the Forest
Service fleet. The captain of each
bout will act as librarian of books
aboard his boat.
Mr. Sherman stated in his letter
to Mr. Flory that the plan for es
tablishing a marine library for the
Forest Service boats, came to him
when he was cruising in this dis
trict, on his trip here August last.
He said ho realized at that ltme
the beneiflts and pleasures which
could be enjoyed by men aboard the
boats, had they good reading mater
ial when they were out on field
work.
