4 revival Of tue cry that Alaslya's legislative enabling act tails to enable was heard in the United States Dis trict Court yesterday afternoon when Judge Robert W. Jennings was hear ing the arguments Of cousel in tho test suit entitled ]. Epsteyn and A. Green baum vs- Jay W. Bell clerk of the District Court The action is to re- cover an itinterant merchant license tax of S200
 Over Q year ago Greenbaum and Ep- stein came to Juneau and opened g la- dies merchandise store. On complaint of other merchants that the Territoriai law imposing tax on Inherent mor- chants was being violated, Greenbaum and Epstein went up to the clerks ob
The Alaska daily empire., 1915-02-18


 Then came the opinion or the Comp troller of tho Currency that question. ed tho right Of the Alaska Legislature to impose duties on Federal officials in Alaska. Simultaneously the attor- nog general Of the United States sent instructions to various Federal ofiic- ials in the North that they must not perform duties prescribed by the leg Islalure.
 With tho acts Of the Legislature at- tackled from all sides because of the opinions that held them invalid, Clerk Bell could not pay over to the Torri. torial Treasurer the amount of the tax paid by Greenbaum and Epstein. and has since held the tax In trust with other Territorial license moneys.
 Then pelegate's Action.
 Delegate Wlckersbam YVES appealed to for an amendment Go the organic act which would validate the laws passed by the Legislature two years ago,
 On August 29 1914 President Wood row Wilson signed the Wickersham amendment which had passed both houses of Congress-. Now it is claim- ed that the amendment has not brought about tho relief sought
 In substance, the amendment pro yides that nothing in the organic act shall be SO construed as to prevent the courts now existing from enforcing within their respective jurisdictions aIl laws passed by the Legislature within the power conferred upon ib the same as # such laws were passed by Congress, nor to prevent the Legis. lature passing laws imposing addition al duties not Inconsistent with the present duties Of the governor, mar shais, clerks of the courts and Unit ed States commissioners, etc. etc"
 Amendment Not a "cure"
 Itis claimed that while Mir. Wicker sham's intention may have been the best in the world to cure the defects in the organic act 1is use, in the of the words "that noth- ing shan prevent che courts from en. forcing the legislouro's laws and the words 'and nothing shall prevent the from imposing duties on marshal, etc. sidestop the issue. Members Of tho Bar say the amend ment should have read that "Logisla- ! tive acts passed by the Alaska assem- l bly STALL bo enforced by Federal of- 1 Gcials in Alaska.
