 the United States defeated the Cu1- ry Bill by the overwhelming vote of 13O to 12.
 The Curry Bill, in effect, was a bill to repeal Section Il of the Or ganic Act and any other Act O. Congress which forbids the payment of Territorial funds to Federal of- ficials and to legalize such payments as may be made heretofore or hereafter"
 It was introduced by MT. Curry, of California, to counteract the re- suits of a suit brought by Judge James Wickersham of Juneau and other citizens of the Territory to restrain the Treasurer of the Terri. tory from paying certain Territorial monies to Federal Officials, which practice has been many times de- clared illegal by various Attorneys General of the Territory
 Certain interesting excerpts from the debate in Congress follow:
 Mr. Curry: There is some opposition from Alaska, particular ly an organization of Indians and half organized by politicians and some opposition by job seek CTS who want places. Nearly every Chamber of Commerce has approved the bill, the governor has approved it and asked me to get it passed, if possible. Nearly every city gov ernment of Alaska has approved it and some have opposed it. ****
 MT. Curry: The Attorney General (of Alaska) is fine man. know him. He is interested with certain politicians in Alaska in trying to force Congress and the legislature to enact different legislation than they want *+*% Alaska has been in hard straits recently*** There are only three big mines in Alaska paying dividends Two of them are dredging mines.

by British capitol. The State of t California furnishes more gold than c Alaska. Colorado furnishes more | gold than Alaska. The great ill., dustry in Alaska is fishing, and yet t there is greater amount of fish a taken off the banks of Newfound- | land than in Alaska. There is greater amount of fish taken from r Japan than in Alaska, and a greater c amount of fish taken from the Brit C ish Isles, and the Mediterranean l than in Alaska. f
 Fur is another industry up there, and not so much either on account of the legislation. Tn Louisiana last year there was more value cf fur produced than in the Territory of Alaska. We want to develop Aleska if we can. I would like to see certain changes in the law.
  but do not want the Government tied up for two years in a matter of local politics by men looking for jobs.
 MT. Curry: *"** Alaska is not ii. nancially in shape to do what she 1oht %o do fo~ of Territorial officers is concerned When the Territory of Alaska shall create these officers-and I think that ought to be done-they will pay them and stop the cooperation between the Federal Government and T Territorial Government But the Territorial Legislature has refused to do it. It did so at the last se3- will not be another session of the < Legislature until next year. I hope at that time they will change this . system. But in the meantime if the courts should hold that the Ter ritory of Alaska has exceeded it's authority in enacting these laws, It would tie up the government of Alaska for two years. s"""

the statute you provide that the courts shall not construe what the law says''
 MT. La Gaurdia then asked that the Delegate from Alaska be given ar opportunity to speak against the bill.
 MT. Sutherland thereupon spoke rather at length, giving the history of such legislation in regard to the older Territories and quoting as fol- lows from the Attorney General of the Territory:
 ''It was out of an abundance
 of historic experience, guided
 by common sense, that Con-
 gress wrote into the Organic
 Act of Alaska what is known
 as Section II. These provi-
 sions should be enforced not
 only in letter but in spirit. The
 purposes of Section Il are per-
 fectly plain. The main object
 was to keep the Federal and
 Territorial duties separate and
 apart and have them discharged
 by separate and distinct off,
 cers. The last clause provides
 that no one holding a com
 mission or appointment under
 the United States shall be
 member of the legislature or
 hold any office under the gov
 ernment of said Territory" This is neither more nor less than an order upon the Territory to or ganize it's own government and pro- vide it's own officers to execute its laws. and it is a denunciation of the present system of bestowing Ter ritorial functions upon Federal oe~ ficials"
 MT. Sutherland continued: "Now. gentlemen of the House, in closing I want to say that this Organic Act is our Constitution in Alaska. It bears the same relation to the Terri torial Legislature of Alaska that the Constitution of the United States
