 This statement regarding the
 District Attorney is borne out . by the fact that the Commis- siOner, Judge AXelsOn, was later advised by the United States At
 torney Harding that he (the United States Commissioner should cooperate with the Bu- reau of Fisheries and was vlr-

suggests, WhereDy the Bureau or Fisheries is going to dominate the U. s. Attorneys and they in turn are going to cOerce the United States Commissioners in- to interpretation of the law in a manner at variance With their honest opinion, the obvious thing to be done is to merge the administrative into the ju- dicial branch aud permit the Bureau of Fisheries to file con- plaints regarding illegal fish ing with the Bureau of Fisher ies, and then the Bureau of Fisheries will sit in judgment and fix the penalties. No doubt there would arise serious Ob-- iectiOns to such procedure in law, but it does not greatly eX- aggerate in describing the pre- sent situation with regard to administration of the fishery laws in Alaska.
 It certainly should not, under our system of government by law lie within the province of of 4l,O ISnrn0,, of [1c;>Nr ies, or even U. s. Attorneys, to interpret the laws. That is sup posed to be strictly a function of District Courts and Commits sioners, and there is supposed to be no room for suspension ot this function by your Bureau or any other administrative or ganizatiOn.

 This prompts me to call your attention, as well as that of MT. Vim and your agents at Yaku- tat, to the fact that at least 90 per cent of the fish taken in the Yakutat region are taken under illegal conditions and that if your Bureau would in

Legislative Committee Of State
Bar Association Meets
Here Today

A resolution proposing an amend
ment to the North Dakota constitu-
ton which would extend the term Of
office Of both supreme and district
court judges will be submitted to the
state legislature this term by the state
bar association. according to members
Of the legislative committee Of the or
ganization.

meeting In Bismarck today. are Fred
J. Traynor, Devils Lake. chairman;
Alfred Zuger. Bismarck: w. II. stuts-
man, Mandan: w. F. Horner, Fargo;
and John H. Lewis. Minot.
The amendment favored by the
committee would extend the term OF
supreme court judges from six to 10
years and Of district judges from four

prepared by Mr.. Stutsman.
A bin which would increase the
salary OF district court judges from
$4,000 to 5000 and supreme court
judges from $500 to $500 Is being
prepared by John Knauf, and will
also be presented to the legislature

Reenactment Of q bill which would
give judges power to direct q verdict

Amendments passed by the state leg
islature in 1921 and 1923 provided
that the court, in case OF objection
