 for the care and maintenance of those who, through misfortune or disease, are urable to take care of themselves, has been too long recog- nized and established to admit of question. But that duty of the gov enment extends equally and in the same degree to all the people ire spective of creed and color.
 The conclusion seems irresistible that tax levied expressly for the purposes of the two legislative acts here under Investigation would be illegal and as such void and incol- lectible. 1nasmuch as no separate tax has been levied for these pur- poses, but appropriations are made by the Legislature out of the general fund of the treasury of the Terri tory to pay for the administration of the Acts in question these appropri- ations must be treated as illegal and disbursement thereof could be enjoyed at the instance of a tax payer.
 The contention is sometimes heard that while the principles which I have called attention to in the fore going are applicable to all races generally an exception may be en- forced as against or in favor of Indians upon the theory that the Indians are wards of the Federal Government and as such may be subjected to different treatment.
 It is true that expressions are fourd in many judicial decisions lending color to such position. For some two hundred years or more we have entered into treaties with Indian tribes as with foreign na- tions; we have purchased their lands subject to certain obligations as sumed to the various tribes, and by virtue of these treaties and con- tracts with Indians throughout the centuries the aborigines have secured from us special consideration, special privileges and immunities, until we have acquired the habit of thinking of Indians as enjoying special privi- leges and immunities under our gov ernment irrespective of our treaty obligation to them. This habit of thought is responsible for many mis- leadirg expressions in legal docu> ments. In Alaska the government had no treaty relation with the natives. The latter became subject from the very beginning of Ameri- can occupation, to the white mans laws A distinction in the treat ment of the natives, however, may have been justified because the Fed eral Government undertook to care for them. That government sup piled them with schools, with hos

to be citizens of the United States: Provided, that the granting of such citizenship shall not in any manner impair or otherwise affect the right of an Indian to tribal or other properties"
 This indicates very clearly that Congress- considered the period of tutelage of this part of our pop ulation to be at an end, and that the natives are not only entitled "to the full and equal benefit of all laws," but "shall be subject to like punishment, pains, penalties, taxes, licenses, and exactions of ev- cry kind, and to no other."
 Whatever may have been the case in the past 1 am unable to reach any other conclusion than that at the present time under recent Con- gressional enactments, the native Indian population of Alaska is en- titled to exactly the same treat ment and the same rights and inn munities as are all others.
 The government has no authority to eNpend public funds as a bounty to help individuals. Nor do the acts here in question undertake to do so Only when funds are so dsbursed for the purpose of taking care of those in actual need and who are unable to take care of themselves is such purpose regarded by the courts as public and not private. As long as and when the Federal Govern ment takes care of destitute natives the obligation of the Territory to do so does not exist. Natives so cared for are not in "need" of aid from the Territory. That need must be established before the benefits ac- crue to anybody of any race under the Acts here in question. The vice lies in the fact that those laws undertake to disburse public funds for the benefit of only one-half of our population to the exclusion of the other half on account of race and color and not on account of difference in needs or conditions, and this notwithstanding the fact that all are equally bound to contribute to those funds so used. 1 am un able to find this consistent with the fundamental principles of our gov ernment.
 Respectfully submitted,
 JOHN RUSTGARD.
 Attorney General.

Big Canneries Cooperate


 Big Canneries Cooperate
 Thus far on our trip along the Alaskan Coast, we have found the Alaska Packers Association and the Pacific American Fisheries living up to the law in word and in spirit.
 ''I have come to believe if it had been entirely lawful, under the con- servation system, it would have been much better if the fisheries depart ment were given the absolute right to say how many canneries there should be and the kind of gear per mitted them"
 Voting System, Crime
 "The attitude of groups of natives and of the Territorial government itself is bound to retard the develop ment of Alaska And in trying to embarrass in every way those who want to come in and help But the worst crime in Alaska is the voting system. There should be a bill passed making it a law that those who can not read or write be re- strained from going to the polls. You have 1 800 natives in the Territory who can neither read nor write, yet, it is these very ones who decide the fate of your elections, and they are dictated either by a medicine man or priest.
 No Washington Voice
 ''Tho election laws in Alaska must be changed if the country is to go ahead, and only the intelligent pop ulation must vote. As it is now, the intelligent people of the Territory have no voice at Washington. Only the natives have a voice speaking for them at Washington. The mer- chants, the Chambers of Commerce and the many civic organizations, should express their views on leg islature and appointments. The ci- tizenry of Alaska should be heard at Washington and we want to hear it, but unfortunately, whether it is q matter of modesty or not, 1 do not know, but we seldom hear from Alaska's intelligent citizenry
 Welcomes Expressions
 "Cheap Indian lawyers are eN- pressing the will of Alaska today, and the very intelligent and delight full people, are having no voice as far as the policies of Alaska are concerned. The departments at Wash ington, the President and Congress, would welcome an expression of in- telligence from the citizenry of Alas ka on it's problems.
 "I am utterly astounded to find the high type of people I have met as citizens of Alaska. They would reflect credit to any city in the United States, yet they have no ex- nreSsiOn at WaShingtOn /"

T|NKHAM ASSA|LS
COURT IN LETTER
"0CCuIt Foreign Influence"
Exerted, He Says in
EpistIe to Borah.

American adherence to the World
Court protocol is opposed by Repre-
sentative George Holden Tinkham,
Republican, of MaSsa chusetts, who de-
Clares that IAN audacious and desper-
ate attempt is being made by interna-
rionalists and occult foreign influences
10 force the United States into the
court"
This charge is made in a letter to
Chairman Borah of the Senate foreign
relations committee. Mr., Tinkham
asserted "the United States cannot
join such a court and not become
entangled in the political questions of
Europe and surrender it's pre-existent
rights as an independent nation under
international law"
THE league court is creature of
of the League of Nations" he said,
and 1t is not a free and independent
court
at is proposed" he said, that the
United States shall not be bound by
the advisory opinions of the court,
but if our representative upon the
court gives opinions and judgments
even upon those treaties which have
been repudiated by the United States,
we are morally committed to those
opinions and judgments and their sup
port.
THE peril of our Republic today
is the fragrant coercion of affectible
and timorous public servants by
highly organized and heavily financed
raucous minorities. They have at
tackled our liberty and our Constitu-
ton, are trampling under foot the
cardinal American doctrine or separa-
ton of church and state, would abolish
patriotism, and attempt to supersede
all principles and policies which have
been distinctly American, and no
moro mortal blow can be delivered
against it (America) than by those
within who would kill its spirit OF ma
tionality, for that is the very soul OF
1atriotiSm.' -
