GIVES OPINION
ON PROVISIONS
i PRIMARY LAW
JUNEAU, (By Mail.) — Consider
able speculation is being indulged in
by prospective candidates, Territorial
anti Federal officials, and lawyers as
to the effectiveness of some of the pro
visions of Chapter 48, Session Laws
of 191J, which provides for the hold
ing of primary elections in the Terri
tory of Alaska.
The law as passed by the Legisla
! ture provides that all candidates for
member of the Legislature and all
candidates for road commissioners
shall tile with the Clerk of the Court
of the Division in which they reside |
their declaration of candidacy togeth
er with a fee equal to one p»*r cent of
the annual salary receivd for such
office, not to exceed $4 \ \ hich money
shall be paid to the Territorial Treas
urer. This money b> uic terms ox uie
act, was intended to finance the hold
l ing of primaries.
The question now arises as to the
salary of a member of the Legislature
and also the Hoad Commissioner. The
legislator is paid $15 per day for the
time the Legislature is in session.
This may mean a 60-day session or it
may mean more or less. Thus the,
! salary provided is strictly a per diem
compensation. The Hoad Commis
sioner is paid five per cent, of all
moneys expended, not to exceed $2,
500 per annum.
Clerk of the Court J. W. Bell today
said that the Federal law provides a
regular filing fee of ten cents for ev
ery paper filed in his office. A dec- j
laration of candidacy tendered with,
the ten cents filing fee cannot be re
fused by him, and any declaration lil
t'd must appear on the ballot.

Adrertfea in The Gateway.

law has boon issued by Territorial At
torney General George B. Grigsby,
1 bearing on this subject in which he
’ advises clerks of the court that they
I may not refuse to file declarations not
accompanied by the fee as provided by
1 the Session Laws.
The opinion of Mr. Grigsby follows:
“The Secretary of the Territory
has referred to me your letter to him
dated Jan. 19, 1918, in which you
(make an inquiry as to the proper
I charge for declaration of candidacy
for nomination to the offices of Ter
ritorial Representative, Territorial
Senator and road Commissioner under
the primary law. (Chapter 48, Session
Laws 1917).
“Section 13 of the above act pro
vides that each candidate shall pay for
filing his declaration of candidacy a
fee of one per cent, of the annual sal
ary of such office, not to exceed $40.
“The members of the Territorial
Legislature do not receive an annual
salary, their compensation being fixed
by section 4 the Organic Act as
follows:
‘Each member of the legisla
ture shall be paid by the United
States the sum of $15.00 per day
for each day’s attendance while
the legislature is in session.'
This is in no sense an annual salary i
but strictly a per diem. The limit of
attendance possibly in two years at!
regular sessions is 60 days, but it can-;
not be presumed as a matter of law!
that any legislature in extraordinary
session for a period not to exceed 151
days. There is nothing to prevent the;
Governor convening the legislature in!
extraordinary session more than once;
consequently it is impossible as aj
strict matter of law to fix the feej
chargeable to candidates for the leg
islature. The act of the legislature in
this regard is defective.
“I would advise you, however, as a5
matter of expediency to promulgate!
the schedule as indicated in your let-!
ter—that is to say, to fix, the chargej
of candidates for members of the leg
islature on the basis of $450.00 per I
annum, the amount paid each member!
being usually $000.00 for two years.*
Should a candidate, however, refuse;
to pay this fee and insist on having
his declaration of candidacy filed I do
not believe you would be justified in
refusing to cause same to be filed.
Probably there will be no disposition
on the part of any candidates to de
cline to pay the fee.
"As to the oltice ot uoaa commis
sioner: The compensation of the roadj
commissioner is fixed at 5 per cent, ofj
the amount of Territorial money ex-!
pended by such commissioner, not to |
exceed $2500.00 per annum. In this'
case also there is no strict legal ba
sis for computing the fee to be charg
ed a candidate for road commisisoner.
His compensation might be the maxi
mum, $2500.00 per year, or it might
be nothing, all depending upon the!
amount of money appropriated an !
expended. As the probability is,
however, that the road commissioners
will earn the maximum amount, that
is $2500.00 per year. I would advise
you to fix the fee of candidacy for
this office at one per cent of $2500.00,
or $25.00; but, as in the case of a
member of the legislature, would not
advise you to refuse to file such a dec
laration should the candidate refuse
to pay the fee.”

BURGLARS WORK WITH
GERMAN AIR-RAIDS
LONDON, Jan. 30. — London sub
urbanites are beginning to ask:
“Which is worse, a bomb or a burg
llar,”
When they get the air raid warn-!
ing in the suburbs, the inhabitants!
thereof usually gather in the house of ,
the family with the strongest cellar
or in some communal dug-out. This is
just what the wiley burglar is wait
ing for, and, scorning possible bombs,
he leisurely ransacks the deserted
houses.

ROME, Jan. 00. — Giomale d’ Ita
lia in publishing the details of docu
ments found in a safe deposit box in
a Florence bank, rented by former
Premier Cailleaux, brings out many
interesting details bearing on the al
legations that the1 former Premier
acted as a German agent.
One document gives a sketch of his
plans. This shows that in the event
he was ever called as the leader of
France he intended to arrest Presi
dent Poincare and all the recent poli
tical leaders, including former Pre
mier Briand.
He then intended to force the Cham
ber of Deputies to pass a bill giving
Cailleaux supreme control after which
he would introduce a new regime lim
iting the powers of the Senate and
Chamber, but preserving the Repub
lican form of government.
The fact is recalled here of the va
rious and continued attempts on the
uait of Germany to disiaipt France
through money and diplomatic intri
gue, by the use of money distributed
to prominent French officials, pre-dat
ing the war.
