COURT UpHOLDS
 BLUE SKY LAW
ConstitutionaIity Was Attacked By Manner Of ItsPassage-
 Court Divided.
Special to Independent.

Little Rock, Nov. 25.-Three members of the Arkansas Su- preme Court, Associate Justices Wood, Kirby and Hart, have de clared that the so-calIed Blue Sky Law passed by the last Leg islature was cOnstitutiOnallN passed and is therefore valid. Two members of the court, Chief Justice McCullOch and Jus tice Smith, dissent, contending that 1t was not cOnStitutionallv enacted. But the majority rules, and the act is therefore valid and in full effect.
 The test case was brought in Pulaski Chancery Court by the Mechanics Building and Loan Association of Little Rock, to enjoin the State Auditor from enforcing the act against that company. The lower court up- held the validity of the act, and the Supreme Court sustains it's findings.
 The Association sought to prevent the Auditor from requir- ing a bond as prerequisite to do- l ing business in the state, insist ing that the act was not legally passed because the Senate had failed to comply with the pro- visions of the constitution pro- viding that on final passage of l all bills, the votes shall be taken by yeas and nays and entered on the journal. The Court finds that the records are sufficiently clear on this point to show that the bill was properly passed. It is further held by the Court that "The Business of Building and Loan Associations is sub-
 ject to regulation under the po- lice power of the state, as well
 as the business of banking and insurance" and that the act is
 not unconstitutional; further,
 that it does not repeal Act 307
 Of 1913, which only provides for the assessment for taxation and
 the filing of individual state
 ments by the building and loan associations.

There certainly is vast difference between England and Alaska. In Eng land the women are setting the coun- try by the ears in their efforts to get the ballot, while here in the North our women are about to have the ballot forced upon them.-Fairbank Times. In the trial of Albert c. Frost, at Chicago, who with four others was charged with defrauding the govern mem, a witness for the defense teS ti- fled that the coal lands in Alaska eX. tended over 500 square miles and that there was available 1,500,000,000 tons of coal in this section.

 When the democrats of Nome en. dorsed Major J. F. A. Strong as fit and proper choice for governor of Alaska they had the overwhelming ma iority of all the population of Nome thoroughly in accord with their action, says the Nugget Nome is in sense the home town of the major. He has spent more time here since his coming to Alaska than he has spent in any other place, and should he be our next governor, Nome can share with the First, Third and Fourth divisions the honor of calling him one of our own. Major Stroug has lived and been pub fisher in each of the four Alaska divis- ions. Wherever he has been he has gained the' respect and admiration of those who know him. He is not only a m of rare abilities, but he is also a man who is without fear and without reproach." Following the occupation
 
 of newspaper man it was impossible for him to avoid making few nemies, but, perhaps, he could be admired all the more for the enemies he has made. He seems to be the choice of all the regular democrats of Alaska for ap pointment by President Wilson, and as only democrat can be appointed it is safe to say that he is also the choice of every man of every political faith who has ever known him. For this reason there can be no presumption in declaring for Nome that all the people of Nome want Major Strong for the next governor of Alaska.
