such municipalities are without statutory

as they are maintained by the popular

both in volume and Importance, than it
was in 1884. The duties of the judge re-
quire him to travel thousands of miles

There is practically no organized form
or government in the territory There
is no authority except in congress to
pass any law, no matter how local or
trivial, and the difficulty of conveying to
the congress an ADEQUATE conception and

Is easily understood l see no reason why
q more complete form of territorial or
CARNATIONS should not be provided Fol-
/ lowing the precedent established In the
year 1919. when a temporary government
was provided for the recently acquired
territory then known under the name of
Louisiana, it seems to me that it would
be advantageous to confer greater ex-
ecutive power upon the governor and to
establish, as was done in the case Of the
territory OF Louisiana, legislative coun-
Gil having power to adopt ordinances
which shall extend to all the rightful
subjects of local legislation, such or
d1nances not to take effect until reported
to and approved by the congress If in

provision Of this kind would be satisfac-
tory to the people Of the territory. 1t is
probable that the area is too vast, and
the population too scattered and transitory
to make 1T wise at the present time to
provide for an elective legislative body,
but the conditions calling for local self
government would undoubtedly very soon
exist, and will be facilitated by the
