No Emergency Legislation
Emergency legislation will be
lacking at the beginning of this quad
rennfal session and it is not probable
that any effort will be made to pass
a single bill and make it a law be-
fore the retirement of Governor
Kflby. A careful survey of the sit
uation just because. the lawmakers
were scheduled to convene indicated
that emergency legislation would be
hopeless and is doubtful that any
person. will make the effort.
Before Governor Kilby took the
oath of office in 1919 the iegisla-
ture held five sessions on five sepa-
rate days and passed legislation
which required the signatures of
Governor Charles Henderson. in order
that 1t might be effective with the
beginning of Governor Kilby's term.
At this time the emergencies either
do not exist or it is too well known
that the legislature will not attempt
to hold five Sessions on five sepa-
rate days before Governor Brandon's
Inaugural ton. @As
One OF the most important meas
Dres which became a lawsbeforesGov-
ernor Ki1by was inaugufated in 1913,
provided for an increase in the sal
airy from 5000 . a year to $500.
sGovernor Henderson received $1,000,
hut the legislature which. served dur
ing his administration passed a bill
repeating the act which increased
the salary leaving the amount of
$4,000 which had been paid prior to
that time. -=.-a
The Legislature which serves with
Governor Kilby believed the salary
should be $500 and passed bill
before Governor Kilby was inaugu-
rated. Governor Henderson approved
it and it became a law. Had 1t not
been approved until Governor kilby's
term began II would not have been
operative until Governor Brandon's
term, as the constitution prohibits
any change of the salary of any state
official during his term.
Only Two Sessions
The general opinion in legislative
circles is that only two sessions will
be held this week. They will be
necessary in the organization of the
two houses. After the organization
meetings and the introduction of a
few general bills the lawmakers viii
adjourn until next week when they
will receive the first general message
of Governor Brandon. Governor Bran
don will take the oath next Monday
and it is probable the lawmakers will
hold their third session next Tuesday
when the governor will either read
his message or deliver it to the two
houses by special messenger.

KETCHIKAN JURY TO INVESTIGATE
 ILLEGAL FISHING
Will Investigate all Alleged Violations
 of the Closed Season Statute

kETCHIKAN: Following advices from Judge T. M. Reed that it is it's duty to bring indictments for viola tions of the Territorial law establish ing certain closed seasons on salmon fishing where it has sufficient evi- dence for such action, it was announc- ed that the grand jury at Ketchikan would investigate all reported viola tions of this law not only in the dis trict about Ketchikan, but also about Juneau. Cases arising against com panies or individuals operating in the Juneau zone, however, will be trans ferred here for trial.
 The Ketchikan grand jury, shortly after it began work last week present ed questions to the Court asking whether in view of the instructions of the last Territorial legislature to the Attorney General to bring but one case and that for the purpose of test ing the validity of the law, it could properly initiate prosecutions against all alleged violations of the law, re- gardless of number. Judge Reed diff fers from the Attorney General and says: "that as the court is at present advised the Territorial law is a valid, existing law under which it is the duty of the grand jury to find indict- ments against all persons whom they find are guilty of fishing during closed seasons in the two zones."
 U. $. Attorney A. G. shoup intimat- ed that indictments would be returned this week and that 1t is probable that all reported violations in both districts will be brought before the Ketchikan grand jury, cases in the northern or Juneau zone to be transferred here for trial. MT. Shoup further intimated that in case demurrers arc filed in the indictments attacking the validity of the law. he would move for a post. ponement of all trials until the ques. ton was definitely settled.
