Winter Song.
Through the winter comes a tune
Breezes far away;
Meath the February moon
Sing about the May.
From the clouds that hang so dark
Fleeting sunbeams stray,
AS unto the winds they hark,
Singin' bout the May.
There are surely smiles ahead
On the darkest day.
Through the storm let's go ahead
Singin' bout the May.

Mining Bill Is Explained wire
 From Dimond
Washington, D. C.. May 2

Washington, D. C.. May 27 NV. A. Chamber of Commerce, Nome, Alaska;
 Replying to your telegram for information on Bill 10 amend the law relating 10 mining on tide lands in Boring Sea region will change existing law only in that it will extend jurisdiction of this law to include all tide land min ing in Alaska instead of only that of Boring Sea region, and will designate the Secretary of Inter for instead of Secretary of War to prescribe rules and regulations for such mining. Extension of this law to all Alaska shores is deemed advisable, because of the prospect of tide land on increased scale in other areas. The scond change is believed desirable in order to put jurisdiction of all mining on public lands under one department instead of dividing it between the Interior and War Departments, as was the case heretofore, and this change is particularly recommended by the Secretary of War. The law that the Bill would amend has been in effect since 1900 and is section 32l, Compiled Laws of Alaska, 1883. Signed:

THE CASE FOR THE BI.CAMERAL
 OR TWO HOUSE LEGISLATURE

Editors Note-The Editor of the Nome Nugget has thought for some time, that the question of whether or not Alaska should have a Unicameral Legislature, should be brought to the atten- ton of the voting public for dis cussion and study. Next Septem- Der a referendum vote is to be taken on this Subject-the two articles below, prepared by How ard Lyng, member of the 1885 Legislature and candidate for representative in the general cleo ton this fall, gives considerable information on bo,h sides of the question. Tomorrow evening at 8 o'clock, at the school gym, a debate is scheduled on this topic between two teams of high school students. This should prove most interesting as well as informa- tive).

 The bi-cameral or tWo-house Legislature has functioned in the Territory of Alaska since 1912, when Alaska received a territor- ial form of government by Act of Congress. For 150 years this sys- tenn of legislative procedure has been a basic principle of Ameri- can government. Under this met hod 32 territories in the western United States have developed in- 10 free American states, and have become pillars of strength in the most powerful and best governed nation on earth-a nation of free men, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the principles of jus tice, freedom and equality.
 The founding fathers of our great republic - those inspired patriots, who fleeing the oppres- sion, bigotry, and tyranny of the Old World, sought to build in the New World an enduring demo- cracy guaranteeing to future gen erations the priceless heritage of civil and religious liberty, left to us a Constitution that has ever since been the model for the world.
 One of the noteworthy precepts of d emocratic government that permeates the Constitution, is the American system of checks and balances. The Constitution gives us a government divided into three separate and well-defined poWers-the executive, the legis- lative and the judicial-the first two branches checking one an- other, the third checking both. The Constitution split the legisla- tive branch two ways for addi- tional insurance, setting up a Senate and a House of Represen- tatives in the National Congress, which has always been the model for all state and territorial legiS- latures. The ideal embodied in the Constitution, based upon tra- dition, long experience and many fears, is a government of checks and balances, and time has justi- fled this system.
 In the unicameral or one-house legislature, this protective inSur- ance is lost. A brief examination of the facts will amply demon strate this. In bi-cameral or |two-house legislature a legisla- tive enactment, commonly called a Bill, in order to become law, must successfully pass both hous- es and be signed by Gin Alaska) the Governor. Both Houses of the Legislature likewise have in- dividually the power of rejection. The Governor in turn has the right to veto. Thus, in order for bill to become law, it must be approved by all three agencies.
 In a unicameral or one-house legislature a bill is enacted into law by the affirmative vote of a majority of its members, and the approval of the Governor. If the Governor vetos the bill, then by a two-thirds affirmative vote of the one-house body, the Cover nor's objection is overcome and the bill becomes law.
 Here we see the executive bra nch of our Territorial govern ment, the Governor, rendered im- potent, and a one-house Legisla- ture responsible for it's actions to no one but itself. This is a con- tingency not too remote to vis- ualize, and it can well happen. Without the proper restraint there is nothing to prohibit a one house legislature from running wild in raising taxes, in making excessive appropriations, or in| a@-l.

prosperity of the Territory. This is a condition, even though it be remote, that must be guarded against.
 The two-house Legislature is a
 safety measure found in every
 constitution and organic act thru
 out our American form of govern
 ment. Its presence there gives
 additional protection to our civil
 rights and personal liberties.
 No system ever devised by man is perfect. There is always hon. est error and lack of foresight to contend with-there are always influences, subtle and often indis- tlnct stalking the land, for self interest is still the motivating principle of a surprising number of people,. This leads us to a discussion of the often made charg-, that foar men in the Sen ate of our bicameral Legislature can control the Leg slature com pr'sed of q members. Granted that this be true, it $ merely an abuse of the present system, and not inherently a part of that sys- tenn. The voting public holds the key to the situation, for it is by their expression at the polls that the members of the Legislature are designated. It is strictly up 10 the voters to take sufficient in- terest in the qualifications and background of candidates for of flee, so that they may cast their Vot5s in such a manner as to as- sure a Legislature composed of members who are pledged to the best interests of majority of our paople-so that they will not elect to office a handful of the satellites of the vested interests -obStructloniStS who are nurtur- ed in big business, with few if any thoughts for the welfare of the common man. If the unicam- eral system ever replaces the pre- sent tWo-house Legislature in AL aska, it will be largely for this reason.
 There is no question of economy to the Territory by substituting the unicameral system, for the expense of maintaining the Alas ka Legislature is borne by the Federal government, and it is highly probable that a one-house legislature would entail the same number of mernbers-24.
 Looking at the question from a selfish point of view, that is, from the standpoint of how the Second Division is going to be affected by abolishing the present bicam- eral Legislature, there is cause for pause and careful scrutiny. There is nothing in the referen- dunn to be voted next September that sets up just how the unicam- eral Legislature will be constitu- ted or indicates the proportion of representation from each Divi- sion. It merely calls for the ex- precision, on the part of the vot- CTS, of whether or not a change is favored. If the vote favors change, then it will be up to Con- gress to change Alaska's Organic Act of 1912, under which we now function, and provide for a uni cameral Legislature.
 The First Division, which con- tains about one-half of the white of the Territory, has long sought proportionate legis- lative representation, based on population. Juneau, the largest city in Alaska and the seat of government, is located in the First Division. Juneau's and the First Divisions power is extrem- ely potent in Territorial affairs. as reflected by Congressional ac- tion. It is not improbable, but highly possible, that if Congress is permitted to change our Or ganic Act, which is Alaska's pri-
