SEDITION BILL INTRODUCED
IN ALASKAN LEGISLATURE
JUNEAU, April, lf>.—Speaker Hess,
of the lower house, late this afternoon
Introduced a bill making the writing,
printing or doing of any seditious act
a crime and provided a penalty for
those convicted of such acts. This bill
is intended to cover the present sit
uation during the war, as it has been
reported that there has been quite a
bit of treasonable talk from some of
alien residents of Ala-ska. The bill will
be passed without opposition.
In the house Prince introduced two
bills providing for the building of
roads in the Ttiird division, one con
necting Cordova and Eya.it and the
other for the construction of /cads
in the agricultural and mining sec
tions along the right of way o’ the
government railroad. Prince amend
ing present laws regarding the ap
pointment of notary public; ('asoy, re
lating to fencing of lands used for
herding purposes; Coombs, amend
ment to present road laws.
The senate occupied all the afev
noon session in discussion of the doc
tor’s section of the mining law, which
seeks to give injured niwi the right
to select their own phvtic- ins and not
la- compelled to employ there employed
by min'mg conptnie;. S-v.at >r Aldrich
waxed sarcastic during the debate over
the contention of the company doctors,
and said that the present situation re
minded him of the "so-called work
men's compensation act passed by the
last territorial legislature, in which
ever) possible fraud was perpetrated
upon Alaska workmen." No agreemo-.t
was reached on this measure, and it
was carried over on the daily file.
I Sutherland introduced a bill dis
qualifying biased or prejudiced Judg
es; Sutherland, amended Section 1539
complied laws of Alaska; Ronan, a
bill authorizing the construction of
roads in the Third division In order
to open up the country along the gov
ernment railroad for sottleent by for
mers. The bill providing for a bounty
on eagles was recommended by the
1 committee for passage.
The house took up considerable
I time this afternoon discussing the
proposed amendment to ihe mildnqr
bill regarding the duties of the mining
inspectors, but no decision was reach
ed.
