53. the so called Brown women's jury

Price Fish Bill Up
'Mr. Price's (bill limiting the fishing
season and dividing 'the Territory
into three fisheries districts was c m
sidered at length by the House in
Committee oif the Whole this morn
ing. The m'ain purpose of the bill,
according to Mr. Price, is to estab
lish whether or not the Territory can
legislate in any way on fisheries. I.
is not expected that the bill. If n
acted, will operate to cut the opera
tions of canneries during the next
biennium, but w-ili enable test cases
to be brought to determine the Terri
tory's rights in the premises and M it
is upheld in the courts, make it pos
nct a law adequate to protect the
sible for the next Legislature to en
fishcries.
It is provided in the bill that it
shall not become effective until Jan
uary 1, 1921. If it becomes law, i'
is the Intent that one test case shall
lie instituted by the Territory and
pushed to a conclusion by the time
'the Legislature meets in 1925. If it
J$ upheld, said Mr. Price, cannerym -n
with a practical knowledge of the
fishing .business will conic here and
cooperate with the Legislature i:i
1925 in passing a law that will desig
nate 'the most desirable fishing sea
sons, and determine the zones to
wntcn tney wm apply.
Zipf Says Will Cooperate
A F. Zipf, who with J R Heck
man appoared on the floor by special
htvltaltfon, said it sufficient safe
guards were 'put in the bill to assura
that the industry, particularly the
.snvali canners. would not be injured
by the operations oif the law in t■ • st
ir»g Its validity, be had no objection
to voice. As far as It might |>"
within his power, he added, he would
ask the canners to cooperate with the
Territory in securing a test.
Mr. Heckman was opposed to the
passage of 'the 'bill. If the Legisla
ture has the right to pass any fish
eries law. he said, it should pass
one limiting the packs, which he con
tended is the only way to achieve
protection 'for the salmon supply.
The (bill was continued in second
reacting at the dose of the morning
session in order that additional
aimendments might he offered.
The 'bill provides fhat the Terri
tory shall be divided as follows: the
Southeastern district extending to
Yaikutat; the central district from
Yakutat to Seldovla, and the western
district front there westward. in
the first district a 40-da.v fishing
season is provided, in the second a
30-day, and in the third a 20-day fish-1
lng season. A new section was|
added prohibiting combinations ot1

SENATE DEFEATS
INSURANCE BILL,
FIVE TO THREE
State Insurance System Plan
Rejected—Referendum
Measure Is Passed.
The Senate today by a vote of 5
to 3 defeated the Brown measure pro
viding for an Industrial Insurance
ays In n for itye Territory. On final
j passage. Aldrich. Brown and Snod
grass voted for. Ayer, Chamberlin,
Dimond, Dunn and Hunt against the
; bill.
Tlie Senate bill was identical with
the Wils >n<I)erker bill in the Hou
and several joint sessions of the
Senate and House committees hav
S ing thorn in charge were held, con
! s id era hie ( ..position developing to
the ■passage of the bill. The loss of
the bill in the upper chamber m ikes
I it unnecessary for the House measure
to be considered by that body.
Data Is Lacking
The main reason for the Senate's
i rejection of the measure, as ex
' pressed by several speakers, Includ
i Ing Senators Ayers, Dimond and
' Dunn, was the lack of authoritative
i data on how such a system would
operate in the Territory, whether or
not it would bring ar.y actual bene
fits to the persons covered; how
groat a burden would it place on in
dustry, and general information suf
ficiently specific in nature to guide
, lawmakers in intelligently legislating
Ion the subject. If such data were
] available at the n*xt session of the
I Legislature as a basis for study of
the whole question It might reason
ably be expected that it would take
definite action, said Mr. Dunn, who
closed the argument against the bill.
Pass Referendum Bill
With only one vote cast against
ft, Dunn’s bill for a referendum on
j making elective Iby popular vote the
| office of Territorial Commissioner
i of Education passed the Senate to
I day. Mr. Chamberlin voted against
i passage, explaining his position by
| saying that he did not believe that
j the office should be brought into poli
tics In any way. Mr. Dunn said lie
I supported the bill because he be
j lieved in making every office elective
I It is possible to fill that way.
