COJrNCU, PROCEEDING. CAUTIOUSLY BUT
WITH DETERMINATION.

While The Empire is not court OF law and does
not assume to try and decide legal propositions 1t
would seem that the opinion of Heentha and
in connection with the controversy the price OF
electric current in Juneau is sound and makes 1t
very clear that the City Council has authority to
tablish rates The plan suggested by Hellenthal and
Heenthal that the Council. after giving all parties
notice should have hearing and through it ascer-
such rate would to be the sane and business
like course of procedure.
While the Council has not all the facts that 1t
should have with reference to the affairs of the
Alaska Electric Light and Power Company with re-
ference TO the of it's investments, the operating
and other costs profits etc, the facts that have
been disclosed do not warrant raise in rates to
the extent that the company has attempted, at least,
to raise them might be that If all the facts were
known no raise at all would be justifable How
ever no showing has been made that would justify
further increase in rates than the increase the
Alaska Gastneau Company has made in its charge
for current to the Alaska Electric Light and Power
Company.
Whatever may be the outcome of the controversy
praise is due the City Council for the manner in
which it has handled the whole proposition. 1t has
been cool and dspasionate. 1t set about from the
beginning to get the facts and it has proceeded with
caution but with a relentless determination to protect
the interests of the public while being fair to the
public service corporation.

make the Constitution vital docu-
ment to school children.
Since the seventeenth of Septem-
Der falls on Sunday there may be
question in the minds of some as to
the proper time for public OBJ
seryance of the day. Each COM
munity must of necessity settle this
problem for itself. A Sunday after
noon meeting may appeal to some
as preferable to one held on either
the preceding Friday or Saturday
night.
Following are some general sug-
gestions relative to the observance
of Constitution Day:
T. Do not attempt to make this
affair. A committee representative
of the various interests of the com.
munity will need to be back of the
movement il it is to be a success.
%. Utilize such organizations al
the American Legion, Benevolent
and Protective Order of Elks, etc.
in advertising the meeting and in
securing support for the idea.
80. Advertise the meeting as
we'll as possible through newspapers
the use of printed circulars, the
school children. and other agencies
a. Arrange to have school chill.
dren appear on the program In
patriotic songs and Rotations.
IS. Precede the general program
by fifteen minute community
sing"
20. Arrange for at least two ad.
dresses during the meeting-Ont
dealing with the history of the
Constitution, and some interesting
facts in connection with the Con.
stitutional Convention and the adop
ton of the Constitution, and the
other setting forth some of ths
fundamental principles Of our gov.
eminent as promulgated in the Con.
stitution"

of Customs for the District of Alaska,
died at Ell Cajon, California, August
II. Ivey was born at Cliff. Michigan.
in the mining region, November II,
1857; graduated from the University
of Wisconsin in the class of 81 and
then went to the frontier region OF
the West; lived in Oklahoma and
Kansas, and practiced law at Gull
bertson, Neb.
In 1887 he married Anna c. Brit.
ting and later they removed to Port

He was one of the main factors in

OBSERVANCE OF
CONSTITUTION
DAY IS URGED
Commissioner Asks All the
Schools to Hold Fitting
Exercises Sept. II.

Instructions have been issued
from the office of Commissioner OF
Education to all schools in the Ter
ritory for the Observance of Con-
stitution Day, September II, accord
ing to an announcement made today
Commissioner l.. d. Henderson. All
schools are urged to hold fitting
ceremonies marking the occasion.
A letter addressed to superintend-
ents. principals and teachers by
Commissioner Henderson on the sub
sect said:
September seventeenth marks the
135th anniversary of the formal
adoption of the Constitution by the
Constitutional Convention which
met in Philadelphia from May to
September 1878. In keeping with
the practice inaugurated two years
ago. the day will again be com
memorated in the schools of the Ter
ritory. The Importance of a Terri
tory-wide observance of the birth of
this document which has moulded
cur nation and so profoundly in
huenced the governments OF the
world does not need to be urged
upon the teachers of Alaska. 1t Is
common knowledge that the average
American is not interested suffi-
GENTLY in the study of the principles
of good government and the history,
aims and ideals of America. The
agitators. the malcontents and the
enemies Of constitutional govern
ment and authority are organized
and are ardent disseminators OF
their type of propaganda. Good citi-
zens everywhere now realize the ne
cessity of combating falsehood and
Misrepresentation with truth and
knowledge.
Constitution Day affords an op-
portunity for a community gather
ing at which the history OF the
Constitution together with its bear
ing on individual liberty and ma
tional progress may be reviewed
and the fundamental principles back
of the American idea of government
set forth. It is hoped that each
and teacher will or
ganize his or her community and
arrange for a public meeting in
OF the day and That
the preceding week will be used in
the schools as time in which to
