COURT ORDERS
, Juneau Alaska, May 4, 1916.
Hon. E. S. Stackpole,
U. S. Commissioner,
Ketchikan, Alaska
Dear Sir:
The method of ascertaining whet
her or not a majority of the people
of Ketchikan and within two miles
- of the corporate limits thereof, are
1 willing that liquor shall be manu
' factured or sold in Ketchikan will
this year be substantially the same
as that adopted for last year, that
is to say: You will appoint two re
liable and trust-worthy citizens, in
good standing, to make a census en
umeration of the persons qualified to
express their opinion, and on the
first day of June, 1916, will hold an
"election," as was done last year
You will instruct the persons ap
pointed by you an enumerators to
proceed as follows, that is to say:
They will provide themselves with
books alphabetically indexed, and
will insert, under the proper index
letter, the name, residence and oc
cupation of every white male and
female citizen and resident over the
age of 21 years, residing in Ketchi
kan or within two miles of the cor
porate limits thereof. You will fur
ther instruct them—
That the word “WHITE” means
white as distinguished from Indians, j
consequently the names of all per- !
sons of the African race who are i
otherwise qualified should be taken I
down.
“CITIZENS” means full citizens
not simply those who have declared
their intention to become citizens.
“RESIDENTS” means those who
claim Ketchikan as their residence
Residence is largely a matter of in
tention, and a person may be a re
sident, although he may have been in
Ketchikan only one day, or one hour,
for that matter—the test is whether
or not he considers that as his re
sidence-as his home, or whether he
is merely a sojourner, claiming or
intending to claim some other place
as his home
“OVER THE AGE OF 21 YARS"
A married woman, even though un
der the age of 21 years, is consider
ed by the law to be of the full legal
age, and consequently the enumer
ators would take the names of any
married women, who is otherwise
qualified, even thojgu she may he
under 21 years of age
In this connection, also you might
Instruct the enumerators that a mar
ried woman is considered to be of
the nationality of her husband, and
that any woman of American birth
who is maried to an alien does her
self thereby become an alien and
her name should not be taken.
The enumerators should be further
instructed that they are not to ask
whether a citizen is or is not in fav
or of liquor being sold. They are
only to take the name, residence and
ocupation of every person found to
be qualified.
The persons who intend to apply
for license must bear the expense of
taking this census, and the persons
appointed must make arrangements
with those who intend to be appli
cants as to their compensation, as
the Court has no funds at its dis
posal for such purpose
“Voting.”
Having ascertained in the man
ner aforesaid the total number of
qualified persons, the next thing
is to ascertain how many of them
do, in good faith, consent.
For the purpose of ascertaining
this, (as nearly as possible) the U.
S. Commissioner will, on June 1st,
be at a public place in Ketchikan,
to be by him selected and of which
due notice shall be given, at all
times between the hours of 9 a. m
and 7 p. m-, and will then and
there receive and place in a ballot
box provided for that purpose, the
ballots of all the persons offering
to vote on the question; provided
the name of the person is in the
census book and the person is not
challenged.
If any person offers to vote
whose name is not in the book, the
ballot will nevertheless be received
if the persons swears that he (or
she) possesses the qualifications
aforesaid. In such case, however,
the name, residence and occupation
of the person shall be taken and
his (or her) ballot shall be placed
not in the ballot box, but must, by
him (or her) be placed in a sep
arate envelope which shall be seal
ed and marked with Jiis (or her)
name and the word “Omitted;”
said envelope is to be then and
! there handed to the Commissioner
and is not to be opened except by
an order of the 'Court and in Its
presence, and not then unless it be
necessary so to do in order to de
cide a contest
If any person offering to vote
, is challenged as not possessing the
qualifications required by law, as
aforesaid, the ballot shall neverthe
less be received if the person
swears that he possesses, the quali
fications required-!, Ifi such case
the name, residence -and occupation
of the person shall be taken, but
i his (or her) ballot shall be placed
| not in the ballot box, but must, by
i 'Em (or her) be placed in a sep
arate envelope, which envelope shall
be sealed_and marked with his (or
her) name and the word “Challeng
ed;" and said envelope is to be
then and there handed to the Com
missioner and is not to be opened
except by an order of the Court
and in its presence, and not then
unless it be necessary so to do
in order to decide a contest.
The method of counting is as
follows: Those who consent to the
sale of liquor in Ketchikan during
the year from July 1, 1916, to July
1, 1917, will write the word “Wet"
on the ballot; those who are not
in favor of liquor being sold in
Ketchikan during • said year will
write the word “Cry" on the bal
lot.
As each vote is received, if the
name of the person voting is in the
census book the name shall be
checked, and if the name is not in
the census book a separate notation
shall be made thereof.
“Counting.”
When all have voted who offer
to vote, the said U. S- Commission
er shall proceed, publicly, to count
those ballots only which are in the
ballot box, and he shall certify the
result, and shall forward to the
Clerk of the Court the census
books and all the envelopes con
taining ballots.
If it appears from the counting
of the ballots in the ballot box
that neither side has a majority of
all the qualified persons, then the
Court will determine from evi
dence produced at a full hearing
which, if any, of the votes in the
envelopes are entitled to be count
ed, and will count them according
ly
If, on counting all the qualified
votes cast and considering the num
ber of qualified persons who did
not vote, it should appear that the
number of votes cast on either side
might be materially affected by
counting the number of qualified
persons who did not vote, then some
equitable means will be adopted
to ascertain whether or not those
qualified persons who did not vote
do or do not consent to the sale
of liquor, and effect will be given
accordingly. It is for that pur
pose, and also to give the liquor
dealers an opportunity to adjust
their business if the town should
go "dry," that the vote is to be
taken thus early.
I cannot refrain from saying that
there will be no innocent or reason
able misinterpretation of what I
have said if you will bear in mind
two things.:
1- The law requires that the per
son desiring the license shall show
to the satisfaction, of the Court
that a majority of the qualified
persons (the law does not say qual
ified voters) have, ‘in good faith,
consented. Therefore it is up to
the liquor dealers to show this, and
without such a showing the Court
is powerless to grant a license.
2. The method adopted is de
signed primarily to afford persons
an opportunity To express their
wishes without publicity—that is.
that the good faith wishes of as
many as possible may be ascertain
ed. For want of a more concise
name, the method pointed out is
spoken of as “Voting"—that this is
not strictly an election—it is only
a method to allow a secret ex
pression of the consent or non?
consent. The result of the method
adopted may, however, ba final be
cause enough people may vote to
determine the question. If only a
small proportion of qualified per
sons express their preference, the
result will not afford a fair basis
of a test. It is therefore to the
interests of both sides to see that
as large a number as possible cast
their votes, because if either side
has In the ballot box a majority *of
all qualified persons, there will be
no call for any further effort to
determine the mooted question of
consent or non-consent.
Yours, etc-,
ROBERT W. JENNINGS,
Judge.
Give the above the widest pub
licity—I would suggest that you
have it published in the paper.'
UNIQUE CRAFT FOR ALASKA.
(Railway and Marine News )
At the shipyard of Johnson and
Wogbo, Tacoma, has just been com
pleted a unique combination in ma
rine equipment. It _consists of the
tender Shamrock II and a floating
store and cannery bargq for service
in Southeastern Alaska- The tender
is a strong vessel 52 ft. in length,
equipped with a 45 h. p. semi Diesel
engine of the new Fairbanks-Morse
type
It is the floating store and salt
ery that is the unique feature of
the combination- The barge is a
two-decked Type, 64 feet in length
and 12 feet beam- The upper deck
is fitted with quarters for the man
agers and crefc. Below is a large
galley and dinlpg'ropm. The galley
is equipped with every convenience,
including a J>ake xpven in which
from 300 to -400 loaves of bread
can be baked- On cine side is a
large work table fitted with shelves
and bins jmd on,, the other a porcet
lain, dog and .divining board. The
barge and the tender-are both equip
ed with electric'lights.
The barge will earry a complete
stock of supplies and will follow the
. salmon trollers in the vicinity of
' Wrangell and Petersburg. In ad
dition to groceries, a line of marine
supplies such as will be needed by
the fishing craft is carried- The
barge will provide a place where
the fishermen may trade without
the . necessity of going into port
from the fishing grounds and the
.management of the tender and
barge will purchase the catch of
King salmon from the trollers. The
fish can be cared for in the saltery
and shipped to the company's plant
on other craft.
