affect any OF the other territorial ot.
ficials, as they are all paid from ter

secretary receive their pay direct
from Washington.
The appropriation bill makes speci.
fic appropriation for those Offices only
for the fiscal year ending June 30,
1907, and no provision at all Is made
for the new year commencing July /.
IL was presumably the idea of the
trainers OF the appropriation bill that
statehood would be In effect by June
80, but In that connection apparently
no consideration at all was given 10
the possibility of the rejection of the
constitution. which would make the
situation worse than ever.
II Is estimated that the expense In
the governors Office. which Is left
unprovided for by this ruling, will
amount to about $1,000. IL the consti
tuition should be adopted and state
