THE ELECTION LAW
pr0sperlLy

The question of an election law that is up before the Senate at the present time is of che matters of great importance that demand the attention of the AL asa Legislature at this session The free full and un- trmeed expression of the popular will depends great dea upon che machinery used in securing the expres sion and ,hs is the thing that should be given consid- eratou above au matters of politics by the members of the Legislature in considering election law
 To reach the end desired the should provide for fair and regular primaries and prevent illegal voting and the corrupt use of money. The direct primary is the best and .airest way to permit the untrameled ex pression of the peoples convictions and desires Reg istaton-in ceuer where are numerous. at least
 provdes the only safe way to protect against illegal voting Publicity in regard to campaign contributions and the manner of the expenditure of money for cleo ton purposes together wh reasonable regulations as to che manner in which it may be lawful to eNpend money are the safe methods providing against cor ruptou An election law that does not meet all of these conditions is delusou and snare.
 The election law should provide for direct primar- ies unless chat should be decided 10 be too expensive at this time The Empire believes that the results that would follow direct primary law would be well worth the cost is the surest and most satisfactory machinesmashing implement that has been put in the hands of the people during late years. However we understand that many or the members or tue -essA- ture believe the direct primary to be impraccabe If that is so Che should least provide for the hold. ing of primaries by ali the political parties the same day and make crime for voter to participate in the primary of more than one political party in the same year It should be made impossible for one political machine to control the primaries of more than one political party
 There should be registration in he municipalities at least The cost of shis would be practically nothing It is the only safe way to prevent Illegal voting. It has been estimated that there were from 30 to 100 Illegal votes Juneau alone at the last general election and possibly than hat many more in other South eastern Alaskan communities. The registration books should be closed from 10 20 days before the election and thus give people opportunity to check up and prove Che legality Of the lists.
 The provision in the election bill as it passed the House. which gives who is qualified to vote in one precinct of division the privilege Of voting in an other precinct that division should be stricken out It opens wide the gate fraud. The end sought to be attained by chat provision could be reached perhaps in another way For instance. voter in one precinct

Delegate wickersham said in his speech last week that he is in favor of full Territorial form of government Then he said that full Territorial form of government" with its county government system it would create burden that would eat the heart out of the people.
 He said he believed in the widest measure of self government Then he said that the people of Alaska had unlimited taxing powers and the power to contract debt they would load the Territory and it's muncipali ties down with bonds and debt.
 Yet he declared for immediate statehood which would provide county governments and unlimited pow CTS of taxation and debt creation, and government immeasureaby more expensive than that contemplated by full Territorial form of government
 He said the Delegate and the Legislature should work together and then told the Legislature to keep it's fool memorials.
 He said that he is one of the 25 lawmakers select ed by Che people of Alaska and that they should work together Then he said that 1t Is of the other 2t lawmakers business what form of government they had t was a matter for Congress to decide
