SCHOOL ACT OF
Two acts passed by the last Terri
torial Legislature, both relative to
shools, are without force, and invnlid,
according to the Attorney-General of
the United States,
Governor Strong has received from
Assistant Secretary of the Interior
Bo Swenney, the decision of Preston
C. West, of the Attorney Generars
office. The opinion in response to an
Inquiry made by Gov. Strong two
months ago as to the validity of “An
Act to provide for a uniform system
of schools for the Territory of Alas
ka” and " An Act to amend Election
324 of Chap. 2 of the compiled laws
of the Territory of Alaska.”
The second mentioned act of the
legislature related to the amendment
of the Nelson school law.
Conflict With U, S. Laws
The letter says: "I have to state
that the question submitted by you
was presented to the Solictor for the
Department of the Interior for opin
ion under date of September 21, and
he rendered the same, copies of
which are herewith enclosed.
“I concur in the conclusion of the
Solictor,” continues the letter, “that
the acts of the Legislaure of Alaska
menioned are without force and ef
fect in so far as they materially con
flict with the acts of Congress and
are violate of the Inhibition against
amendment made in the act of 19X2
in the manner specified. Furthermore,
that no action looking to the execution
of these Alaska acts should be taken
until they have been reported to and
acted upon by Congress as provided
in Section 12 of the act of August 24',
1912, if such action is taken when re
norted. ”
In his opinion on the enactment of
the legislature concerning the uniform
system of schools for the Territory,
Mr. West states: “The government of
the United States belongs primarily
to Congress, end secondarily to such
agencies as Congress may establish
for that purpose. During their pupil
age, as territories they are dependen
cies of the United States. Their peo
ple do not constitute a sovereign pow
er. All political authority exercised
by them is derived from the general
government. A territorial law is
therefore without force and effect if it
conflicts with a federal statute, unless
the enactment has been authorized by
Congress,
Legislature Overstepped Power.
“The Alaska Uegislature was, sub
ject to specified limitation, clothed
with the power to enact laws, by sec
tions 3 and 9 of the .act of 1912. pro
vided, among other things, ‘That the
authority herein granted to the leg
islature to alter, amend, modify and
repeal laws in force in Alaska’ shall
not extend to the act entitled ‘An
Act to provide for the construction
and maintenance of roads, and the es
tablishment and maintenance of
schools."
Gov. Strong stated that he would
act in accordance with the recommen
dation of the Assistant Attorney Gen
eral, and that no execution of the law
enacted by the recent Legislature
would be had.
Makes More School Money.
Owing to the fact that 25'I of the
receipts from the forest reservations
have been appropriated for the estab
lishment and maintenance of schoo'1,
approximately $15,000 would be avail
able this year for that purpose. WItn
the establishment of the fact that the
law creating the office of Assistant
Superintendent of Public Instruction
is invalid, the appropriation of $5000.
made for that purpose will revert to
the school maintenance fund. In
other words, there will be available for
school purposes this $5000 more than
was expected.

If there is one thing that will appeal j
to A'askans more than another it Is j
the call of distress from a mother’s
heart to her boy. And whenever the
call comes the news is carried to the
remotest parts of the great Northland.
Such a call is contained in the fol
lowing letter. While mails are slow
in some of the more remote districts
of Alaska, the mother may be sure that
some one will know of her boy and
communicate tha fact to her:
Mrs. L. M. Alleger. of 22 Stale
street, writes as follows:
‘‘In 1888 my my son, Oeorge Lewis
Alleger left Stroudesburg, Pa., aged j
21, for Rattleford. Sask. From there
he went to Dawson and was with the
Royal Northwest Mounted Police. The
last I heard from him was from that
city in July 1902. His aged mother is
most anxious to locate him before she
dies.
“Also his sister, Mrs. Mable Haase,
also of 22 State street.
"If you would be so kind as to place
I the above in your medium it would be
I doing a kindness, which will not be
forgotten.”
The writer adds that she will pay
for having the notice posted. News
papers in Alaska, as well as govern
ment officials and others need no pay
for trying to find lost relatives,
especially a son for whom an agett
mother is yearning as only mothers
can grieve and yearn. It is hoped
that any one having any knowledge
i of such a person will communfcate
with the writer.
