HAYWIRE LEGISLATION
A ti the Alaska Legislature is “all wet”, according
to 'mey Bob Hurley, who was employed as clerk
of t senate during the session just adjourned. With
three lawyer members of the two houses another ultra
vires Saw has been added to the 18 now known to be on
the statute books.
The law relates t* the choosing of a Territorial
auditor, according to Mr. Hurley, who claims that the i
legislature had no right to choose the incumbent of the'
office for the initial biennium, but that the power lay.
with the Governor to name the incumbent subject to j
confirmation by the senate.
The entire question of creation of the office of aud
itor appears to have been fozzled because the legisla-:
ture failed to adhere to the Organic Act providing for
procedure in such matters. As pointed out by Mr. Hur
ley, there is no question as to the authority of the leg
islature to create such an office. It lies more in the mode
of procedure.
It would be unfair to accuse the legislature of hav
ing put over a trick on the friends of more extended
Territorial control, for neither the present or the pre-;
vious legislature displayed qualities presaging such as-1
. . tuteness. The previous session embroiled the Territory
in the Wickersham injunction proceedings by the per
formance of acts for which it did not possess authority.
Now we may look for another muddle creating uncer- i
tainty, chaos and possibly increased Territorial expense, j
It would appear logical to have copies of the Or
ganic Act struck off, and distributed among prospective
aspirants for legislative honors.
NOW IS THE TIME FOR ALL GOOD MEN
Now is the time—today'—for those who will be
in charge of the annual Fourth of July celebration to
get busy advertising what's coming off here on that
outstanding day of the year. Latouche, over on Cook
Inlet and the camps and communities along the rail
road belt, and down in the Turnagain Arm country; all
of those folk would like to know what we have to sell
them on the Fourth of July In order to entice them to
Seward we must first sell them the idea. With the court
in session here and the natural influx of transients,
why not make it the biggest and best show Seward
ever had.
It can be done!
GOOD MOVE BY LAWYERS *
If members of the American Bar Association real
ly put into effect the recently announced intention of
simplifying the language of laws and legal documents,
they will earn the gratitude of the public.
Everyone knows that our law books and legal
records are cluttered up with useless words, which tend
only to confuse and obscure the ideas they are supposed
to convey It seems that the old policy has been to make
laws as difficult to understand as possible, so that only
a lawyer is able to make sense out of them, while half
the time lawyers disagree and the result is a law suit.
Striking archaic and superluous words and phrases
from future legal documents would be a most salutary
and timely reform. Will the lawyers really do it?
St. Louis bandits who robbed Chester Runnels and
then tied him in a sack were probably hunters used to
bagging their game.
Charles Searles of Elmira, N. Y., has the theory that
the earth is shaned like a dumb-bell. He appears to be
lieve it is made in his own image.
Two Brooklyn men traded wives and now each
thinks the other is a swindler.
