through for the free survey of home steads, of the Seward bonding bill, which permitted the town of Seward to bond itself for protective purpos- es, of the abolition of the SO-rod strip, of the sundry civil appropria- tions secured for Alaska, of the resolution to secure for Alaska the benefits of the Smith-Hughes act which would give the Territory many thousands of dollars every year from the Federal treasury, of the public buildings appropriations which are held up on account of the war, or the
 railroad appropriation of over four teen million dollars secured last year, and of the five and quarter million this year, of the amendment to the Army appropriation bill where by the Secretary of War must make estimates for road building in Alaska. In connection with this amendment
 to the road bill, MT. Sulzer said his opponents had said that this amendment amounted to nothing,
 that anyone could make estimates" l He then proceeded to explain the | situation, how it is impossible for any Cabinet officer to make an esti- mate for funds unless it is author ized, that heretofore no authority
 existed for requests for funds for road building in Alaska and the items could be stricken from the ap- propriation bills at any time upon a
 point of order raised by any one
 member. This was done in num- Der of instances in the past and was such a cause of embarrassment to
 the Secretary of War that he gave notice that he would not in the flu
 ture ask for any money for new work
 on the Alaska roads Now, by the
 amendment which MT. Sulzer secur | ed, the Secretary of War is author
 ized to make such estimates as he
 may deem advisable, so that this
 piece of legislation which was se
 cured, as explained by the Delegate
 is of the greatest importance to Alas ka

About Home Rule.

The Delegate devoted some time to his Home Rule bill, whereby he hopes to secure complete self gov pointed out that MT. Wickersham
 laims he stands for Home Rule for Alaska, and he then proceeded to show the former Delegates real at titude toward self-government for the Territory. To prove that Mir Wickersham Is opposed to any meas are which will give the Territory control oyer it own affairs, MT. Sul- ger read an extract from a hearing before a Senate committee and also before the Elections committee of the House in which MT Wicker sham stated that he had drawn the Organic Act for Alaska in such a manner that the Legislature could not have power to pass an cleo tion law, or amend the one we have. One of the extracts read by Mr Sulzer from the report of the hearing before Committee on Elec- tions No. 1, held March 19, 1918, was as follows:
 MIR. WICKERSHAM.- we
 bought that covered very largely the situation with respect to the election laws in the Territory, but here we were creating an elective Territorial legislature in Alaska, md it was thought that it would lot do to give that Territorial leg stature authority to destroy itself. t* and to save that situation
 md to put it beyond any possibility If question I prepared a section in he act of 1912.
 "MR. LLOYD.-What page and .ection Is that?
 MIR. WICKERSHAM- It is sec tion 5, on page 513, 37 Statutes at Large: Now, that is the organic law of Alaska; that is the constitution of Alaska. This act ;reated that body, and fixed the cleo ion laws of the Territory, and it fixed them so they could not by any possibility ever alter, amend modi- fy, or repeal those laws. There is no questoni about that. * Now, with respect to the members of the Legislature, the Legislature can not now alter amend, modify or re- peal these election laws so as to destroy itself, or do anything else with respect to that matter"
 And further along in the same record, MT. Sulzer read:
 "MR. WICKERsHAM.-My judg- ment is, and I prepared the laws of 1912 and assisted in preparing those of 1906, that there is no doubt that the legislature of Alaska had no authority over the matter of it's l own election or the election of Del egates."
 That" said Mir Sulzer, "must be taken as MT. Wickersham's true attitude on Home Rule for Alaska It proves that he never wanted Home Rule and he does not want 1t today"

mittee had not come to any de- cision or made any report, or to state what the report would be, Mir. Sulzer read two letters from mem bers of the Elections Committee No. 1 which is hearing the case of Wickersham vs. Sulzer In one of these letters the member of the committee remarked that he did not know what the final decision of the committee would be, so that the delegate could not figure out how he should be expected to know but he did express the belief that the election law of Alaska would be upheld and that he would retain his seat.
 The letters from Congressman Welty and Congressman Polk, the members of the committee which is hearing the contest, were read last night and showed that no decision had been reached.

BANKERS OPPOSE BILL

Many Chicago bankers who have
been interviewed express opposition
TO the bill introduced by Senator
Shaproth providing for the govern
ment guaranteeing the full payment
of deposits not exceeding $4,000 In
failed national banks. The bill has
been read twice and referred to the
senate committee on banking and cur.
rency.
The bill is an amendment to two
sections of the revised statutes. which
sections deal with the payment of de.
positors' claims in national banks
that have failed The amendments
proposed are mostly in addition to
the present text and work modifica.
lions 10 the extent only of providing
for the payment in full OF deposit
accounts which do not exceed $4,000,
and to pay $4,000 on every other &C.
count which may exceed the $4,000
limit.
The exact language of the bill pro.
vides that the controller shall pay in
full the claim of each depositor
which does not exceed the sum OF
$4,000, and shall pay the sum OF
$4,000 TO each depositor whose claim
has been established as herein pro
yidcd and which is in excess of tina,
amount"
The bill is a short one and the
clause providing for the assessment
to guarantee the payment of deposits
Is as follows
In order to indemnify the United
States against loss on account oj
advances made as herein provided
and TO provide funds for the purpose
of making such advances, there shall
be levied and collected yearly from
each national bank tax not in ex.
cess Of one.tenth of l per centum OF
