LENGTHY ARGUMENT
ON INJUNCTION BY
JUS. WICKERSHilj
CONTENDS ITEMS ATTACKED BY
HIM HAVE NOT BEEN LE
GALLY APPROPRIATED
(Juneau Empire)
Arguments on the Wickersham in
junction suit against Treasurer Smith
were completed at 2:45 p. in. today
(Thursday, May 12) at which time
Judge Reed announced he would take
the matter under advisement. lie
announced he would permit counsel
to file any additional briefs desired,
giving them two days for that pur- i
pose.
“It is a very serious question and
a very important one for the court to
pass on. I will take the matter un
der consideration,” he said. Pending
his decision, the items covered by the
suit will remain tied up in accord with
the restraint of the court at the time
it issued its order to show cause.
The appropriations attacked by him ■
in his injunction suit against Treas
urer W. G. Smith are clearly void, be
ing without the power of the Legis
lature which is limited by many acts
of Congress, and some of them, even
if within the power of the Legislature, |
have no authority in law other than
that contained in the general appro
priations measure itself, contended
James Wickersham before Judge T.
M. Reed in the . S. District court yes
terday and today.
l ne secretary or Alaska today is j
i veritable “poobah” and no one •
knows how many offices he holds; .
every Legislature seeks to give him
more jobs; all because the Secretary !
ias a wide acquaintance among mem- ;
aers of the Legislature who have con
fidence in him. Mr. Wickersham as
serted at one point in his argument.
Nothing has been “left undone by the
complaisant Legislature and Gover
nor to make the Secretary of the Ter
•itory a Territorial official” in viola
ion of Section 11, of the Organic act,
re declared, and added this merely
showed a want of intelligence and a
ack of appreciation of the forms of
American government, and lack of ap
ireciation for the opinions of the At
orney General of the Territory.
He contended the Secretary was
expressly prohibited from holding any
iffice under the Territorial govern
ment; that he was not entitled to be a
nember of the same government; and
:annot receive any salary therefor.
Faces Criminal Suit
He asserted that the Secretary was
tot only prohibited from holding any
rerritorial office but that he faced
i criminal prosecution if he accepted
my salary appropriated gy the Terri
orial Legislature for him
He admitted the Legislature had ~
he powder to impose additional duties “S
I
in the Secretary but claimed it was j
>owrerless to pay him for their per
ormance, contending he could only
>e reimbursed from fees fixed by the I
i i
Secretary of the Interior. j £
Neither has the Territory the pow- j
>r nor is it its duty to provide the j
secretary with offices and clouts, ar- !
tued Mr. Wickersham. If the Federal
government doesn’t provide him with J i
iffices1 that ia its own lookout and not i
i matter w'hich properly concerns
Uaskans, he declared.
The payment of salaries to clerks
n the office of the Secretary, he ar
med, is illegal because there was no
mthority in lawr under which appro
iriations for that purpose might be •
nade by the Legislature.
!
Overtime is Graft
Taking up the matter of appropria
ions to pay extra expenses of the Leg
slature, including funds for the two
iresiding officers, chief clerks, and
•vertime, Mr. Wickersham declared: ;
‘Overtime is one of the oldest ' * 1
>f graft, and Congress has sou?
;uard against it by enactment of
