OFFICE OF A. J. DIMOND
Delegate from Alaska
(By J. J. ECKLES)
Washington, D. C.. March 23
To establish a supreme court for
the Territory of Alaska, a bill was
introduced by the delegate on Wed
nesday. It provides for the appoint
ment by the president, with the con
sent of the Senate, of a chief justice
who shall reside in Juneau. The su
preme court will be composed of the
chief justice and the four district
judges of the Territory.
The court shall have jurisdiction
to review by appeal any final decree
or proceeding of the district court in
all civil suits and in all criminal
cases, in accordance with the laws
of the United States. The United
States marshals and the United Sta
tes attorneys in Alaska shall perform
the same duties for the supreme
court that they now perform for the
district courts, and the clerks of the
United States district courts shall
act as deputy clerks under the clerk
of the supreme court who will be
elected to his position by a majority
vote of the court. ,
The bill differs from that intro
duced by Judge Wickersham in the
Seventy-second Congress, chiefly in
that the Wickersham bill limited the
jurisdiction of the court to re
view by appeal, civil suits where
in the value in controverys did
not exceed one thousand dollars
and criminal cases below the grade
of felony. As now before Congress,
the bill authorizes jurisdiction to
the supreme court to review by ap
peal in all civil suits and criminal
cases. Enactment of this bill should
greatly facilitate the furtherance of
justice in the Territory without
greatly increasing the cost to the
Government.
David Strandberg and Z J Lous
sac called on the Delegate Thurs
day. Mr Strandberg has been en
gaged in placer mining for many
years in the Iditarod and Innoko dis
tricts. Mr Loussac is in the drug
business at Anchorage. The trip east
was literally as well as figuratively
speaking—a flying trip. Both agreed
that travel by air is the only method
and plan to return to Seattle by
plane.
H. R. 6861, a bill to extend the
provisions of the Federal Highway
Act to the Territory of Alaska, to
enlarge the legislative power of the
Legislature of the Territory, and for
other purposes, was introduced by
Delegate Dimond, March 16th. This
bill provides that Alaska shall share
in the appropriations that are made
available under the Federal High
way Act, and shall be included n
the calculations to determine the
basis of apportionment of funds un
der the same conditions as those re
lating to the several states and the
Territory of Hawaii It also pro
vides that the power of the lrg da
ture be extended to include all mat
ters pertaining to the construction
of roads, trails, and kindred works
Thursday, the sub-Committee on
Post OfTice and Post Roads heard
the Delegate in support of his bill
to authorize the Postmaster Genera!
to contract for airmail service in
Alaska,for the carriage of all classes
of mail within the Territory by air
plane. The sub-Committee reported
favorably on the bill and ordered
that it be referred to the full com
mittee.
The passage of the Retirement Act
for employees of the Alaska Rail
road is being held in suspense by
the Secretary of the Interior while
information on the estimated cost to
the government is being obtained
from the Civil Service Commiss
ion. The Delegate has been advised
that the Secretary will report on the
bill as soon as the cost has been as
certained.
The Washington Evening Star of
March 19th carries the following
Associated Press item: “The Cin
cinnati Presbytery, in a resolution
addressed to President Roosevelt,
members of his cabinet and other
high-ranking Government officers,
yesterday urged that naval maneu
vers scheduled in May in the North
Pacific 'be transferred to less trou
bled waters ’ The resolution also
expressed 'hope’ that the Japanese
exclusion law of 1924 be rescinded."
While we all appreciate what is
meant to be a sincere gesture to
wards peace, some of us do believe
the maneuvers planned to familiar
ize our fleet with our own coast,
could not be construed as an act in
citing war And we have yet to
see any successful farmer who would
if a scourge of chinch bugs were
threatening an invasion of his north
west cornfield, construct a diverting
barrier for the onslaught m the
southeast corner of his farm
Through the aid of Senator Tyd
ings, the amendment to the Emer
gency Relief Act of 1935, making
[available $900,000,000 for public pro
jects of States or political subdivi
sions thereof, * was further amended
to include territories . As mention
ed in a previous letter the omission
of territories might preclude Alaska
from receiving the benefits of this
particular classification of the $4,
880,000,000 bill
