Editor News:
In looking over copy of your paper,
l notice few words from Mr.. J. G.
Montgomery, Ozark, on the subject of
Good Roads, and 1 have concluded to
send in few lines, to be added to
the good roads spirit. When the late
road law was enforce, was a member
of the Russell Fiscal Court. The
Court seemed to be in a quandrary as
to how to proceed under said law. l
suggested that we comply with the
law-put in road vote, levy the tax
in full and see if we could get the
roads-so we could travel them. This
carried.
Mr.. F. w. Leach was elected road
engineer, and as soon as possib BILE the
road work begun. Quite number of
bad hills were made good all over the
county. The bad hills were made
new, making much better grades.
The Fiscal Court has recently made
an appropriation to build a pike from
jamestown to Russell Springs. After
this, start South and build a bridge
across Greasy Creek. Let the good
work go on. There is plenty of lime
stone in the red clay, muddy hills.
There are men who will talk against
road tax, but when the roads are
built, they will be the best pleased OF
all others. So, L again say, let the
good work 60 on.
can get a contribution of few
hundred dollars, and 1 am ready .tc

Patrick Henry said that he knew no guide for the future except tho experience Of the past win Dele gate James wickersham. or tho Dispatch ten us in plain words wha. hope the experience of history holds out for immediate Statehood for Alaskai Upon what precedent? Upon the experience of what state7 Upon what Congressional procedure in Ike matters?
 Then again. win they tell us. if Delegate Wicker sham admits tho need of more powers for the LegIsa- ture of Alaska in the matter of the game and fisheries questions and f he would favor change in the con sroi of the Alaska road fund does he not admit that he does not look for immediate Statehood and that our organic act needs doctorng pending Statehood? State hood would operate to give full control over the game and fisheries and the road fund without further egs lationl Then will they tell us why should not at the same time that we secure the changes that Delegate wickershar favor secure more powers for our Terri tory in the matter of schools and school tunds7 Why
 e should not levy all of our axesi Why we should not provide for their expenditure? Why should not have control Of our insane and fund? Why we should not control all Of our own nnances7 Why we should not have the power to incur sufficient indebted ness to build needed school houses, public service ut ties and other public improvements, H VIC should 80 de- sire, Why we should not regualte the liquor trafcs
 Why VIC should not have local county governmental In fact why all the limitations upon the Alaska Lesisla tre that have not been placed other Territorial Legislatures n the past should not be removed? Win they tell us why VIC should be given Territorial form Of government on the installment plans

AN ANSWER

The Dispatch has asked The Empire to state an instance where law Of the Alaska Legislature has been held to be valid
 Very well The question of the validity of Terri tor acts has been raised in the United States District Court at Juneau four times. as follows:
 The case of Callahan vs Marshall, involving the validity of the poll tax Judge Fred M Brown held the law to be valid but the Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the decision holding the law to be Invalid.
 The ease Of sulzer. ct. al, vs. Smith, as Terri toria treasurer the forest reserve suit Judge Robert w. Jennings held the act to be valid.
 g. The case of the Territory vs the HOOnah Pack. ing company involving the legality of the fish trap - cense tax Judge Jennings held the act to be valid
 4 The act reducing the OfIense Of selling liquor to Indons from felony to msdemeanor was involved in recent criminal proceedings and Judge Jennings held the act to be invalid.
 Other courts have held other acts to be valid
 It is true that great many of the statutes have been held by various authorities be Invalid In prac cay every instance where the laws have failed 1t has been due to a limitation in the Territorial organic act
 And this suggests the question: Why were limita- tons placed the organic act if 1t the intention that laws conflicting with them should be valid in spite of them? If it is desired that all the acts of the Legislature should be held to be valid. why not remove the Limitations which restrict the powers of the Less asaFeg

ANCHORAGE HOPEFUL FOR NEXT YEAR
Anchorage Pioneer.)

Anchorage Pioneer)
 Should the National Congress soon to convene ap- propriate the sum of nine million dolars-the amount that win be asked for by Secretary Of tue Interior Lane for confirmation of construction work the Alaska government railway project, there will be boom in Anchorage.
 Why? you may -nsrre.
 Given such ai amount the Alaska Engineering Commission will its payros between four thou sand and five thousand men. Perhaps threeourths of the railway employees will receive their pay cheeks at Anchorage-that is to say this point will be the head quarters or administration office for tho big force that will be employed between here md tho Matanuska fields for is well understood that the coal line will be completed and placed in operation before any con- interior lne
 We believe this to be a fair statement Of the case n the light Of information now available. 1T between 900 and 4O0O men are employed in active railway con- structon in this division of railway work 1t requires no vivid imagination gift of prophecy to predict that Anchorage VII be the mecca for thousands of people in the States or in other parts of Alaska
 One enthusiastic Anchorage man recently wagered several hats that this would have population Of twenty thousand by October 1916. Frankly speaking we do expect that permanent population will be augmented this extent in short year We should not be at all surprised however if census taken year hence reveal the presence of five thousand permanent inhabitants. And we do not believe we will be far off the mark when say that ten thousand people win come to Anchorage next year. Many of these argonauts win so to the Matanuska country while or course some win return from whence they came. Many will remain in Anchorage
 Much depends on the nine million. And. n soon after the new year. you sec telegram published in thse columns. announcing that this amount has been appropriated for railway work begin frame for good times

The omasteriy and dogged fight that Delegate wickersham made for Territorial government for Alas
