 CHARGE FOR SERVICES


 FAIRBANKS. Fob. 15.--If an opin- ion recently rerdered by Dlstrict At- tornoy K. F. RcLh. Of the Fourth Di- vislca. Is approved by the Attorney General of the United stateg U. S. Commissioners In Alaska will have their perquisites cut to some extent. Tho district attorney asserts that com missioners in Alaska have TO legal right to charge fees for recording vi- tal statistics. collecting poll tax and doing some other duties imposed up- on them by the first sesison Of the legislature.
 It is held oy Mr. Roth that Che Alas ka legislature has no right to pass law requiring people to pay for re- cording vital statistics. such ts birth and death records and that it has no right further to impose my fee or cx- ponse upon the United States, but if it wants it's recent law made effective lt must provide the funds for that ptr- pose.
 At the samo tine. 1t Is pointed out by fir, Roth, that as Congress han, passed law requiring Federal ofi- clola to perform certain duties im- posed upon them by the local Iegisla- mre, they must mako the records re- quired by the legislature, though they cannot receive pay for them.
 Tho opinion Of blr Roth's win have the effect of reducing the income of most of tho commissioners of Alas ka, and 1t Ia expected tlat they will romonstrate against it. provided 1t is upheld by the Attorney-Gonerai. ~ (Fairbanks Timcs)
