and l earnestly advise that such con-
stitutiOD after adoption by the conven.
ton shall be submitted to the people of
election in which the sole issue shall
be the merits of the proposed consti.
tuition, and If the constitution is de
feated by popular vote means shall be
provided in the enabling act for new
convention and the drafting Of new
constitution. l think it vital that the
issue as to the merits Of the constitu
ton should not be mixed up with the
selection Of state officers and that ne
election Of state officers should be had
until after the constitution has been
fully approved and finally settled upon
Alaska.
With respect to the territory of Alas
ka, recommend legislation which
shall provide for the appointment by
the president Of a governor and also
of an executive council, the members
Of which shall during their term OF
office reside in the territory and which
shall have legislative powers sufficient
to enable it to give to the territory 10
cal laws adapted to its present growth
l strongly deprecate legislation looking
to the election of territorial iegisla-
ture in that vast district. The lack OF
permanence Of residence of a large
part Of the present population and the
small number Of the people who either
permanently or Temporarily reside In
the district N compared with its vast
expanse and the variety of the inter.

DarOarOuS. Ine PROCEDURE IN the fed
eral courts should furnish an example
for the state courts.
l presume it Is impossible without
an amendment to the constitution to
unite under one form Of action the
proceedings at common law and pro.
ceedings in equity in the federal
courts. but 1t is certainly not impos.
sible by statute to simplify and make
short and direct the procedure both at
law and in equity in those courts. II
is not impossible to cut down still
more than 1t is cut down the jurisdic.
ton Of the supreme court SO as to con
fine it almost wholly to statutory and
constitutional questions. Under the
present statutes the equity and ad
miralty procedure In the federal courts
is under the control Of the supreme
court, but in the pressure of business
to which the court is subjected it is
impossible to hope that a radical and
proper reform of the federal equity
procedure can be brought about
therefore recommend legislation pro
viding for the appointment by the
president OF a commission with author
ity to examine the law and equity
procedure of the federal courts Of first
instance. the law OF appeals from
those courts to the courts Of appeal.
and to the supreme court and the costs
imposed in such procedure upon the
private itigants and upon the public
treasury and make Recommendation

that he shall find on the part Of that
country not only Determinations in Its

against the trade Of the United States,
but that the Determinations found
shall be undue-that Is, without good
and fair reason. conceive that this
power was reposed In the president
with the hope that the maximum du-

would enable the president and the
state department through friendly
negotiation to secure the elimination
from the laws and the practice under
