t'.P. ITullanoy, Tax Commissioner, Ter
ritory of ,-laska, has received a
written opinion from attorney General
J. Geral Williams regarding the re
cent ruling of the U,3. District
Court of the First Judicial Division
concerning the validity of Chapter
66, S.L.^. 1949, an ^ct which pro
vides for licensing, etc. of fisher
nen.
In his opinion tho attorney General
stated that-the ruling of U.3. Disfc
trict Judge Folta merely holds thet
Chapter 66, S.L.A. 1949, so far as
it imposes a higher tree on non-resi
dents employed or engaged in hand
ling halibut in Alakka; contravenes
the Civil Rights Act end hence is
invalid. Attorney General V.'illiams
expressed th._ opinion that the rul
ing of th- court does not state that
this i.ct is invalid as to tho in
creased license foe of [,5.00 assess
ed to resident fishermen, nor docs
it say that the v50.00 non-resident
license fee is invalid as it applies
to salmon, bottom fish, crabs,clans
or other fishery resources in Alaska.
Therefore, under the severability
clause set forth in Section 9 of tho
x.ct, the remainder of Chapter 66,
S.L.,.. 1949 and such application to
other persons or circumstances is not
effected by the ruling of tho Court.
Hence, with tho exception of non-,
resident halibut fishermen, others
will be required to comply with the
law.
FIXING HIM UP.—You*vo probably
hoard the story about this unlettered
colored preacher who really was full
of his subject and who expressed him
self in the following manner:
"0 Lord, give dy servant dis obeyin'
de wisdom ob de owl; conneck his
soul wid do gospel tclcfoajn leading
from de central skies; *luminate his
brow wid de love of dis people; tur
pentine his imagination; grease his
lips wid possum oil; loose his
tongue wid" de sledge homftier ob do
'power; electrify his brain wid do
lightnin* ob dy word; put perpetual
motion in his hrns; fill him plumb
full ob do dynamite ob dy glory;
’noint him all over wid de kero:one
ob dy salvation an ’sot him of. fire. •*
