 CT from paying out the Territor- ial funds to the secretary of the Territory in violation of section II of the organic act of Alaska, the governor of1iciously pushed his way into that suit, as Gov- ernor of Alaska, in connection With the secretary of the Terri tory, and employed attorneys and made himself a party to the suit by intervening therein; but notwithstanding his activity the court held the secretary could not hold both a Federal and Territorial office at the same time and draw salaries from both the United States and the Territory.
 II. That just prior to the con- vening of this ninth session of the Territorial legislature, the Governor of Alaska, well know ing that Senate bill No. 35 would be introduced in the le- gislature by those who believe in the formation of an American form of government in the Ter ritory of Alaska, submitted a copy of Senate bill No. of 1927, which bill did not pass the Sen- ate, and ignored House bill No. 30 of 1927, which was similar to Senate bill No. 35 of this session, and which bill passed the House in 1927, and was refused cOnsid- eration in the Senate by a tie vote, to the Solicitor of the De- partment of the Interior and re- qucStcd an opinion which would, to use the last clause in the SO- licitOr'S opinion, "ShOW Suffl- cient reasons for the exercise of the veto power by the govern or if such 3 measure should be passed by the assembly, and, if finally passed over the veto, then for disapprOVal thereof by Congress undor the power re- served by section 20 of the or ganic act of Alaska; that that opinion of the Solicitor was aD- proved February 13, 1929, by E; c.

 Comes now George A. Parks, and leave of court having been first had and obtained, files this his complaint in intervention and alleges:
 1. That he now is, and for more than one year last past, has been the duly appointed, qualified, and acting Governor of the Territory of Alaska.
 IT. That the first Alaska Ter ritorial legislatures that con- vened subsequent thereto, have from time to time imposed upon the Governor of the Territory official duties not imposed by the organic act or laws of the United States, but nevertheless of such a character that the same are not inconsistent with the duties imposed by either the organic act or laws of the United States, and belonging to the class of duties ordinarily inn posed upon and exercised by governors; that in order to per- form the duties so imposed, it was and is necessary that much additional clerical help should be employed in the governors office. Many additional duties arise under the Territorial laws deVClving upon the secretary to the governor, and the additional clerical work required by reasons of the duties so imposed by the Territorial legislature, necessi- tates the employment of at least one clerk which can not be had for less than $2,000 per annum, and make it necessary that larg- CT quarters be supplied for the use of the governors Cfhce so as to necessitate additional janitor

dated February 13, 1929, will be attached to this memorial.


 12. That by reason of the political activity and powerful opposition of the Governor of Alaska to the passage of Senate bill No. 35, his threats to veto the same, and the influence of other Federal officials against it, your memOrialist, the Terri tOrial Senate of Alaska, thinks it is impossible at this time to secure any favorable action of the Legislature of Alaska on Senate bill No. 35 with sections 21 to 28, both inclusive, or any similar provisions, therein, or any favorable action on any le- gislation to cure the void laws creating the various Territorial boards, when the offices are fill ed by Federal officials, in viola tion of section Il of the organic act of Alaska.
 Wherefore your me!nOriallSt prays that Congress will consid- CT the matter and give the peo- pie of Alaska relief, by the en- actment of a law granting them power to create an American form of Territorial government in Alaska without domination and control by appointed off, cials.
