 from any participation in the management of their Territorial af- fairs"
 History of Bill
 The memorial then recites the introduction of Senator Steels measure which, it claims was desig- mated to put an end to this alleged bureaucracy. It charges that the amendments of the House defeated the intent of the bill and that certain duties sought to be vested in the Board of Control, specifically mentioned in sections 21 to 28, cannot now be legally performed by any Federal or Territorial of ficial or board
 It declares that the "autocratie and uncontrolled power of the ap- pointive Governor would be newly and widely extended over the Gov ernment of Alaska, and it's people, by the adoption of" the House amendment which empowers the Governor to appoint the Commis- sioner of Education, Terri torial Mine Inspector Highway Engineer, Trustees of the Alaska Agricultural College and School Of Mines, Com missioner of Health and Superin- tendent of the Pioneers Home, all subject to confirmation of the en- tire Legislature.
 Governor Actively Opposed
 It is charged that Gov. Parks has been active in opposition to at tempts to secure for the people of Alaska that voice in their local gov ernment to which they are entitled under the Organic Act of Alaska. It declares he "discreetly warned" the attending members of the 1927 Legislature against the passage of a Controller Bill, and that such measure was defeated by his power ful opposition
 It is further charged that Gov. Parks, in the knowledge that Steel's bill would be introduced, just prior to the converting of the present Legislature, asked an opinion from the Solicitor of the Interior De- pertinent as to the propriety of vetoing it if it should pass, and in case of passage over his veto, then for disapproval of it by Con gress. It is alleged copies of the opinion have been shown members of the Legislature and used to in- fluence members of the Legislature to support the Governors opposition to the bill
 In conclusion the memorial de- clares:
 That by reason of the political activity and powerful opposition of the Governor of Alaska to the pas sage of Senate Bill No. 35, his threats to veto the same, and the influence of other Federal officials against it, your memorialist, the Territorial Senate of Alaska, thinks it is impossible at this time to se- cure any favorable action of the Territorial Legislature of Alaska on Senate Bill No. 35, with Sections q to 28, inclusive, or any similar provisions, therein, or any favorable action on any legislation to cure the void laws creating the various Territorial Boards, when the of fees are filled by Federal officers, in violation of Section II of the Organic Act.
 Wherefore, your m m orialist

Churchill Downs was not the Kentucky derby. It was a dash of Ia mile and a quarter won by Will liam Cottrill's Bonaventure, ridden by a jockey named Billy Lake land. The inaugural day was May IT, 1875, and the Kentucky derby was the second race on the pro- gram.
 Now the Kentucky derby is more than horse race. Kentuckians consider it a tribute to the coun- try, to Kentucky and to the horse.
