An Authority on Problems Of
Love and Marriage

Love and Marriage
The stage or marriage-that is
the choice facing two girls whose
letters 1 am printing today.
At first thought, this may seem
strange alternative, since there
are happily-married couples on the
stage. Yet the average girl feels
quite wisely-that she must
choose between the two careers,
tf she is to do justice to either.

 But the Legislature, gradually and almost continuously, has delegated it's duties to power behind the throne," until today there is but little left for the Legislature to do other than to make the annual ap- nropriations of about one million dollars.
 If any new duties are provided f seems easy to secure a majority of both bodies to agree that present Federal officials are the proper per. sons to perform those duties. In fact, with the general disinclination to provide local officials, Federalists appear to be the only ones available to attend to the new business. Million Dollars Per Year Expanded
 While 1t is true that funds are prvided by Legislative enactment, and more than one-half secured from the fisheries interests operating turnout the Territory, the money is almost entirely expended under the jurisdiction of Federal officials or the men who owe their appointment from the higher authorities st Washington, D. c.
 The one notable exception Is the office of Attorney General which is elective and a selection made every four years. For salary, clerk hire. travelling expenses, books for law library, etc., he is allowed slightly over $11,00O per year. But the Legislature provides that he can not bring certain legal actions with out the consent of the Governor and the Secretary.
 The balance of over one mil lion dollars expended yearly, with exception of certain "bonuses," which may be largely illegal, is viz-

tually handed over to Federal1stS and their selections for disposal. And the newspapers that seek to control public opinion merely talk about "county" government, but fail and neglect to call attention to the bartering of Territorial interests to the men only responsible to Wash ington, D. c.
 This system started during Demo- cratic domination, altho declared illegal by a Democratic Attorney General, George Grigsby, and de- nounced just as he was leaving of- flee by a Democratic Governor, Thomas Riggs. It has been con- tinued thru Republican administra- tiOn and particularly fostered by Governor Scott c. Bone, while more than mildly fostered by the pres ent Governor George A. Parks. But the system has been denounced and declared illegal by the present At torney General, John Rustgard
 The direct payment to Federal officials for performing Territorial duties has been known to be illegal practically ever since the method in Alaska was started. The additional method of these officials having direct jurisdiction over nearly the entire one million dollars expended yearly from the Territorial treasury, has at least been questionable.
 Judge Wickersham Gives Notice
 During the session of the 1927 Legislature Judge James Wicker sham gave public notice that unless tln Legislature ceased it's illegality he would bring action in the Federal court to declare certain appropria- tions void. As Delegate to Congress when the Constitution" of Alaska was adopted, the Judge above all others knew the powers that Con- gress intended to convey to the Territory. And he was not con- tent to longer see these privileges ruthlessly brushed aside. And par ticularly as the proponents were

Other obstacles were thrown in the way of an early ad- judication of the question. But fin ally the court did decide that the Federal Secretary could not legally accept compensation from the Ter ritory for duties performed while acting as a Federal official. Other questions were not decided by the court and finally on Judge Wicker snam's motion the suit was dismiss ed pendente lite, and another suit was brought. But the questions involved have not yet been decided by the court.
 Recently while in Washington Governor Parks, thru the office of the Interior Department, induced Chairman Curry of the House Com mittee on Territories, to introduce a bill in Congress which would re- peal existing law and make legal previous irregularities. It would oil I>o oQEo Territory to be paid from the Terri torial fund. Delegate Sutherland on the floor of the House vigorously protested against what would have been a repeal of the organic act.
 Illegality Admitted In Congress
 Even Chairman Curry admitted that the present law is adament, when he stated that, "The court, in my opinion, can not do anything but decide that the Legislature has exceeded it's authority, and that tho money cannot be paid and the Fed eral executive officers perform these Territorial duties, unless this bill is passed"
 Delegate Sutherland was willing that the bill should be amended to provide for payment of duties per. formed, providing that the organi, act should not be repealed. This brought from Albert Johnson, oe Washington state, the inquiry, "Is
