his rebuttal argument at 2 p. m. to-
day.
Secretary Is Poobah
The Secretary of Alaska today is
a veritable "poobah," and no one
knows how many offices he holds;
every legislature seeks to give him
more jobs; all because the Secretary
has wide acquaintance among men,
bers of the Legislature who have
confidence in him, Judge Wickersham
asserted at one point in his argu-
ment. Nothing has been left un-
done by complaisant legislature
and Governor to make the Secretary
of the Territory Territorial official"
in violation of Section II, of the
Organic Act, he declared, and added
this merely showed want of intel
ligence and a lack of appreciation OF
the forms of American government,
and lack of appreciation for the
opinions of the Attorney General of
the Territory.
He contended the Secretary was
expressly prohibited from holding
any office under the Territorial Gov
ernment; that he was not entitled
TO be a member of the same Govern
ment: and cannot receive any salary
therefor.
Faces Criminal Suit
He asserted that the Secretary was
not only prohibited from holding any
Territorial office but that he faced
a criminal prosecution If he accepted
any salary appropriated by the Ter
ritorial Legislature for him.
He admitted the Legi3lature had
the power to impose additional duties
on the Secretary but claimed it
was powerless to pay him for their
performance, contending ne could on
ly be reimbursed from fees fixed by
the Secretary of Interior.
Neither has the Territory the pow
er nor is 1t its duty to provide the
Secretary with offices and clerks,
argued Judge Wickershar1. If the
Federal Government doesn't provide
him with offices that is its own look
out and not a matter which properly
concerns Alaskans, he declared.
The payment of salaries to clerks
in the office of Secretary. he argued,
is illegal because there was no au-
thority in law under which appro-
priations for that purpose might be
made by the Legislature.
Overtime Is Graft

priations to pay extra expenses of
the Legislature. including funds for
the two presiding officers, chief
clerks, and overtime. Judge Wicker
