COOPERATION NEEDED.

Under Territorial Government such as that
which we have in Alaska il is necessary that there
should BE cooperation between the Territorial and
Federal officials Whose functions concern the Terri
tory. 1t ought Tor be recognized that where the Fed-
eral oficas are eiyan TERRITORIAL duties perform
the cooperation is facilitated When Territorial Off
Gals act under authority conferred upon them by
Territory they are responsible to the Territory Ffor
the manner in which they discharge their duties. To
thta extent. at least. they become servants OF the
people of Alaska. 1t is, therefore, the most natural
thing in the world that they should, nearly as
possible perform their Federal duties in such cases
where they have discretionary powers at least 50
that they will harmonic with their performances

to extend, rather than contract, the extent of our
solf-goyernment when confer powers upon the
