Meaning of the
 Controller Bill
gBy Dan A. Sutherland, Delegate to
 C0ngreSS.9

ADN bdD Il. ANulflcIldll0, beltS-&lE u
 Congress.)
 The Controller Bill, so-called, that was introduced at the 1927 session of the Alaska Territorial Legislature, provided for control of Territorial af- fairs by officials to be selected by the people of Alaska
 It was essentially step in the ad- vancement toward self government. It proposed to restore to the people of Alaska a voice in the administration of their government.
 The fundamental right of the Alaska people to select their own ad- ministrators has been withheld from them by their legislative representa- lives since the Organic Act was first given to tpen By Congress. At first it was a matter of expediency to place the responsibility for admins tration of Territorial affairs with an organization composedprincipally of Federal officials. Entering upon Ter ritorial government it seemed to be the expedient and the convenient thing to accept the services of ap- pointed Federal officials. The or ganic act of all the Territories con- tain provisions that are intended to keep the local government separate and distinct from the Federal gov ernment. The constitution of virtu- ally every state in the Union pro- vides that Federal officials shall not have any part in the State govern,- ments and this inhibition extends to United States Senators and Repre- sentatives in Congress. In all other Territories of the United States the spirit of the laws of Congress seem to have been followed by their legis- iators, for promptly at their first legislative sessions they set up the
The Kusko times., 1927-12-17

machinery for conducting their Terri torial business, and I believe in the case of every Territory the officials selected were free and independent of any connection with Federal admins tration.
 session laws of all past Territories that the natural thing to do was to establish a government organization that was responsible to the people only, either by popular election ir se- lection by the legislators.
 Doubtless the members of the first session of the Alaska Legislature be- lieyed that the imposition of Terri torial duties upon Federal officials was matter of economy, inasmuch as office rentals would, to a large ex- tent, be saved, but with the gradual expansion of administrative work and the requirement. of more officials and clerks, this saving in rentals is a very minor item of expense.
 The Federal officials thus con- cerned in Territorial power are per- fectly willing to continue in this ser vice and to receive compensation for it. In fact these Federal officials are greatly averse to relinquishing the powers they now enjoy. They are more than reluctatann to yield up these powers; they do not propose to do so without contest such as that witnessed at the last session
 The defeat of the Controller Bill came about through the effort of Federal officials to perpetuate them selves in Territorial offices. It is my purpose to show herein that the eff forts of Federal officials to perpetu- ate their tenure of control in Terri torial affairs is a repetition of Teerri- torial history.
 The history of the early American Territories is, in considerable part, the story of the friction between the people or their representatives and the officials appointed from Washing ton, D. C., who insisted upon retain ing certain powers that should have been exercised by the people of the new Territory.
 The road upon. which self-govern- ment in the early Territories ad-. vanced was a rough one indeed, and it's milestones mark the occasions when their people received transfers of governmental powers from Fed eral officials to themselvs.
 The early Territories were ruled by governors and judges until such time as legislatures were authorized by Congress. The powers of the early legislatures were greatly limited, and Federal officials exercised auto cratic powers. In many cases these powers were usurped without author ity of law.
 The Ordinance of 1787 (the first of the Organic Acts) authorized the governor and judges to adopt such laws of the origisal States as they deemed best suited to the circum- stances of the district, and these laws were to remain in force until disap- proved by Congress. It was found that many of the laws of the States were not adapted to the Territory

though we are ipse facto honored with the choiie of a sovereign and free people to be their representa-. .tives in Legislative Assembly, and the refusal of a captious stranger to accredit us with the fact, does no. shake the truth, still studious vio- lation of etiquette when it is de- signed to convey burleque, contempt, and india,,ity upon a legislative body, is calculated to aiienata peo- pie from sl.h functionaries l"
 It is headily seen why, just 75 years ago, the people of Utah set up their newly authorized government free from interlocking administrative functions.

 and so the governor and the judges took it upon themselves to enact laws. This system evidently met with the approval of Congress, for on May ', 1792, Congress enacted "That the laws of the Territory Northwest of the River Ohio that have been or hereafter may be enacteed by the governor and judges and that the governor and judges are au- thoriZed to repeal the laws made by them"
 The Territory south of the river Chi was the first to organize a legis- , lature. and this legislature was the first to elect Delegate to Congress. Considerable debate arose in the House when his credentials were pre- scented upon the propriety of admit ting such "nondescript member" l" but he was finally given a seat with the right of debating but not voting, and the status of Delegates in Con-
 
 present day.
 The Ordinance of 17S7 provided that when the Territory had 5000 free male residents it could have a general assembly of it's own. The governor was givees absolute veto power to convene, prUogue and dis hn
 The first restriction on these pow CTS by Congress came with the Or ganic Act of the Territory of Mis- souri, and in this case the power to prorogue the assembly was taken from the governor. Professor Far rand, of Yale, an authority on legis- lation for government of the Terri tories, says that at this period (1812) there had been many complaints previously in the Territories that the powers of the governor were too great, and Congress had often con- sidereed the advisability of restrict ing them, but nothing had come of it before"
 The Organic Acts of the Territories from 1789 to 1886 had as basis the Ordinance of 1787 of the Northwest Territory, but each Act contained some provision curtailing the powers of Federal officials and making Terri torial government separate and dis tinct from the Federal government in their administrative features.
 With the year 1886 came the Or ganic Act of Wisconsin, and this Act was a departure from the old Ordi- nance of 17S7. The Wisconsin Act was the model for future Territories, and is the Act upon which our Alaska Act is based.
 The Wisconsin Act provided that no one holding commission under the United States, except officers fthe State militia, should be eligible for office under the Territorial govern ment.
 In 1889 the Legislatures of Wis consip and Iowa were authorized to override the governors veto, and the governor was compelled to return bills within three days Thus by gradual advancement in self-rule the powers of Federal officials have been curtailed throughout the history of Territorial government.
 The Territory of Utah was organ ized in 1851 and one of the first leg islative acts was to provide for the election of treasurer and an auditor ''by joint vote of both Houses of the Legislative. Assembly" It is clear that the Utah Legislature imposed no duties upon the Federal officials, nor is it recorded that any other Terri tory did so.
