I TERRITORIAL LAWS
BEFORE LEGISLATURE
While a photographer clicked its
record, and In the presence of Repre
sentative C. K. Snow, author of the
measure, and Senator Millard, and
Representatives Burns and Shoup, Gov.
J. F. A. Strong appended his signature
to House Bill 52, designating Novem
ber 4, 11116, as the date on which Al
askans will vote yes or no on prohi
bition. Two pens were used, both of
which were carved from native ivory
One of the pens will be sent to the
mother of the Governor’s secretary,
Mrs. T. A. Shorthill, of Tacoma, who
organized at Skagway in the late
nineties, the first W. C. T. U. in Al
aska.
Senator O. P. Hubbard, whose fight
to hnve a memorial asking statehood
was defeated, introduced in the upper
house of the legislature a joint reso
lution asking that the people of Al
aska vote on what form of govern
ment they desire.
The election bills at present under
consideration before the senate are
House Bill No. 1, by Representative
Driscoll, and Senate Bill No. 6, by
Senator Millard, are being consider
ably amended. After almost a week
of constant discussion as to the mer
its of the two bills the end is not yet
in sight. There is a strong senti
ment in the Senate, apparently, that
the Millard bill, although a complete
election measure, is unweildy and not
suitable for the outlying cr rural pre
cincts, but that on the other hand,
the that the Driscoll bill is not suf
ficiently comprehensive. The regis
tration of voters is one of the chief
bones of contention at the present
time, the Senators from the First
division and Senator Millard ad\o j
eating a registration before election
while the members of the larger divis
ions wish a registration at the polls.
The divisional road supervisor bill
passed the House. The bill provides
that a road commissioner from each
division, named by the legislature
shall have jurisdiction to spend one
fourth of the forest reserve moneys
yielded from the sale of timber and
rent of land in the Third and First
division forest reserves.
The House passed a substitute for
the Senate legal counsel resolution.
The amendment takes the appointive
power from the judiciary committee
and lodges it with the governor, after
the legislature adjourns. It empow
ers the governor to employ one or
more atorrneys to represent the ter
ritory when legal representation for
enforcement of Territorial laws is
necessary. The resolution now goes
back to the Senate.
The “16-year-old actor bill" was
killed by indefinite postponement. The
opposition to the measure maintained
that the councils should govern the
question, without appeal to the legisla
ture. The measure would have mane
it unlawful for children under 16 to
appear in theatrical productions, or in
moving picture shows.
Among the large number of new
bills introduced In the legislature are
the following:
Giving power to the clerk of court
to establish schools in precincts or
camps outside of incorporated towns
where there are at least ten white
children between 6 and 20 years of
age, upon satisfactory petition, and
providing for school boards, etc., and
funds.
Amending sections 1883-1884 of the
compiled laws to read ‘that whoever
of sound memory nnd discretion and
either of deliberate malice or by means
of poison, or in perpetrating or at
tempting to perpetrate rape, arson,
robbery or burglary, shall kill another
is guilty of murder In the first degree,
and shall be imprisoned for a life
term.”
To "prevent the shipment in the
Territory of Alaska, to persons other
than actual consignees, to prevent
the collection by transportation com
panies of the purchase price of intox
icating liquors shipped to persons
within the territory of Alaska; to pre
vent the shipment of intoxicating li
quor in the territory under false la
bels" and fixing penalties.
Providing that at the annual munic
ipal elections in incorporated cities of
Alaska, a mayor, six members or the
council, one city clerk, one city treas
urer and one city attorney shall be
elected. Providing further that may
ors shall have the veto power on or
dinances.
Providing that if members of a city
council shall fail to attend meetings
for ninety continuous days, the coun
cil may declare a vacancy and fill it,
and that if a member dies, or a mem
ber fails to qualify after elected, the
vacancy may be declared and filled
as provided. Referred to the com
mittee on municipal affairs.

OVER A MILLION IS
SPENT ON ROADS
In a letter to Governor Strong, In
reply to queries as to road expendi
tures in Alaska, Capt. Glenn C. Edger
ton, of the Aluska Koal Commission,
sheds light on the disposition of mon
ies for roads and trails in the north.
The letter, as read in the legislature
during the roads discussion last week,
reads as follows:
“I have today wired you the amount
that we have expended from the tax
fund in each of the judicial divisions.
Our districts do not correspond with
the divisions as there are five of the
former and their limits are varied at
different times.
"The exact amount from the tax
fund expended on roads other than
"military and post roads” in each of
the divisions is given below. The
figures are to the end of the last fis
cal year.
“In addition to the above, all of the
special appropriations and a small part
of the tax fund have been expended on
the i$>utqs considered as "military
and post roads” within the meaning
of those words as used in the appro
priating acts: These roads include
the road from Fort W. H. Seward to
'.he Canadian boundary, the trunk
line from Valdez and Chitina to Nome
and St. Michael through Fairbanks
and Fort Gibbon, as well as the Sew
ard Iditarod trail, which was especial
ly named in the appropriation with
which it was constructed.
“The total amounts by divisions
would be difficult to determine exact
ly as the routes are not contermin
ous with the judicial divisions. The
proportions of the several divisions
would be ns follows:
1st Division.1 160,000
2nd Division. 22,000
3rd Division. 806,000
4th Division. 661,000
Total .$1,648,000
"These last amounts are approxi
mately divided, the total expenditure
being $1,648,300.28.
"All of the above figures Include the
proportionate share of all overhead
expenses. These expenses have var
common councils in Alaska to require
itinerate merchants to procure a li
cense before doing business in the in
corporated towns of Alaska, requir
ing the procurement of a license pri
or to doing such business.
