when '.he members of the 18th
Lcgis.ature we. e duly elected in
order to ascertain whether terms
will expire prior to January
d, 1949, at which time the extra
ordinary session will convene. In
Am. Jur. 13, at See. 135, we find
las follows:
•\V lere no time is fixed by law
.or the commencement of an offi
j.ul ie m, the general rule is that
t begins to run from he date Oi
he appointment, or, in the c\.se of
.m elective officer, from the date
of election or the legal a^erta n
r.ent of the result thereof.’
“In Alaska the ou.corre of an
•lee ion is legally useei mined and
leclured by the Territorial Can
vassing Board which cor tallies the
persons receiving tne h:ghest num
ber of votes for the respective of
ficers duly elected. Since all mem
bers of the I8th Legislature were
certified in December of the year
of election, their official terms
commenced from the date of such
certification. By January 6th of
1949, all of such terms will have
expired. By the same token, per
sons elected to the I9th Legisla
ture have all received certiiica-tes
\*f election from the Canvassing
Board. Accordingly a special meet
ing of the legislative .assembly in
January of 1949 would necessarily
involve he members of the I9th
Legislature instead of the I8th.
“Referring to the expiration of
terms of elective officers when the
constitution or statute is silent on
tha point, 1 quot from 80 A.L.R.
1292,
“The rule seems well settled
that where the length or the expi
ration of a term of office is no.
fixed by law, that interpretation
which limits the term of office of
the shortest time allowed by the
law should be adopted. (Citing
cases).’
“It is fundamental that the dem
ocratic process can be adequately
carried out only by appropriate
«c ion of the most recently elected
enresentatives of the people and
not by the ‘lame ducks,’ so to
speak.”

Navy Stores Will
Not Injure
Civilian Economy
KODIAK, (/P) — A government
| investigator has expressed the be
lief the civilian economy at this ^
I navy base town will be ‘adequate
ly protected” against government
competition under directives now
in effect.
Navy‘Store sales to civilians
brought a controversy early this
year that took Mayor Lee Bettein
>ev to Washington.
Paul Peters made the investiga
t on and report for a House small
business committee.
Noting the end of the ‘‘boom
>ra” for Kodiak, and a $15 limit
on civilians’ merchandise pur
chases, the committee said “It is
no! believed that further curtail
; ment of ships’ service store priv- J
lieges will inyjrove the economy
of Kodiak, bu^on the other hand,
will seriously affect the recruit
ment program.”
VA REPORTS ON OUT
PATIENT TREATMENTS
—
The Veterans Administration

treatments for 330 disabled Alas-'
■ ka veterans during the last fiscal

I of .he Juneau regional VA office,

Private Alaska physicians co
operating in the VA’s “home
town” medical program gave 621
| of these treatments to 222 veter
■ ans, Lincoln said. Cost of the fee

erage ol $11.85 per veteran or
$4.24 per treatment.
; During the same period. 108
veterans received 115 treatments

ka. No cost estimate was made for
