iTbis remarkable announcement completely ignores
the fundamental precept of constitutional law that the
legislative power to investigate is derived from ana &
heres in the power to 1egislate. It exists in aid OF the power
to legislate and when the power to leglslate ceases, Ine
power to investigate ceases. This was recognized Dy Juuge
Schwellenbach, dissenting in these WORDS:
'"The biennial sessions Of the legislative branch
of the state government are thus limited to Sixty
DAYS. When any such session OF the legislature ao-
iotrns sine die, its functions, as the legislative
branch of the government, entirely cease. Its
members lose all power as legislators; true, they
are still Senators and Representatives, entitled
to hold their offices during the remainder Oh the
two or four year terms for which they were elect
cd bit they are Senators and Representatives
without any power to act as such. They cannot
make laws; they cannot reconvene, unless called
in special session by the governor; they cannot
p~erpetuate themselves in power; they cannot, I'M
less by act of the legislature. appoint committees
to serve subsequent to adjournment. The adj
iournment sine die ends their labors for that par
ticular session..
Even when taken at face value the Robinson Y. Fluent
case is not an answer to the problem here. The court based
its decision largely upon the inherent powers OF leglsla-
lures which in their sphere are plenary; except IN SO lar
as thev are restricted by constitutional provisions. Our
Territorial Government is one OF delegated powers. Broad
powers have been delegated to the Legislature : all the
authority and attributes inherent in legislative assem-
Bile" = it is restricted, however, IN the length OF It's ses-
sions. This constitutional restriction cannot be eVaded
directly or indirectly. Inc IestflctlOn Was P1aceu - &c
vised Organic Act to remedy what Congress considered an
unsatisfactory situation, which was permissible under the
1886 Act, whereunder the Municipal Councils could meet
at will and at considerable unnecessary cost. i before adj
iournment Of the regular ~sixty-day session, the Legisla-
ture may resolve itself into interim committees, then the
restrictive provision Of the Organic Act is effectively null
lifted. In this connection the language used by Judge Day
ton in the case of Elk parte Caldwell, 1873 F. 487, at page
494, indicates, perhaps, the reasoning which actuated Con
gress in revising the Legislature provision:
"At the very threshold it may be asked
whether the limitations Of the Constitution were
not intended to, and do, substantially prevent
legislative investigations through committees
during the recess of the body itself. It's provisions
expressly limit the sessions to biennial ones, not
to exceed a total of As days each, only to be ex-
tended by concurrent vote of two thirds of the
- members of both houses. 1t fixes, by section SO,
article 6, a per diem compensation, with mileage
allowance and then distinctly provides that no
other allowance or emolument shall directly or

Emphasis added0
The undersigned does not ascribe to the Legislature
the Interior motives that Judge Dayton's opinion suggests.
However, legal problems such as we have here must be
approached from the standpoint Of what A be done =
not what will be done. Certainly no assurance on this
score can be found in the vague but. almost unlimited
power sought to be conferred on the Finance Committee
by the resolution which involves an investigation OF all
expenditures of the Government made during the fiscal
years 1855, 1856 and 1857. If the Commissioner of Finance
should be examined i'll detail on each voucher, as well he
might be, the investigation might go on unfortunately :
meanwhile the Commissioner must neglect his official du-
ties. We recognize that danger of abuse is not a proper cri-
tant consideration in constituting the congressional purpose
in making this revision.
It is, therefore, respectfully submitted that under
controlling provisions of the Revised Organic Act the Lee
gislature is required to complete its task, including any in
v~estigation it may desire to conduct, during its sessions,
and that no power exists to create committees to function
after adjournment sine die.

Editorial
FAIR COMMENT

THERE ARE AT least two good reasons why The st.
Croix Avis does not jump to defend itself against attack, or
to explain any criticism hurled at it. First these critics have
every right to criticize. In fact, any public statement, wheth-
er from the platform or press is subject to criticism, and it
is the right of everyone, particularly those most directly con
cerned to express their criticism. Second, what we say is Of
sufficient significance to warrant the attention, and therefore
the criticism.
THIS MATTER Of attack or scrutiny is nothing new. It
came many, many years ago when this paper felt the need
to do more than just report that a shower of rain had fallen,
or that the cane crop was large or small, or that a certain
ship or schooner sailed from the harbor. The place of a news
paper in a community calls for more than that.
ONLY strange twist of the criticism coming from
the Senate is that both sides of the fence find it necessary
to criticize or feel" strange. The Administration no doubt
feels that this paper is unfair because on occasion the need
has arisen to differ. But through it all, the criticism coming
from this corner has been constructive and above board, and
in no instance has there been criticism without at the same
time offering some constructive suggestion.
WHAT, HOWEVER, is most fascinating about the
whole thing is that certain elements in the reading public in
sists that this paper is too mild; that it does not give enough
hell, that it often. does not take a stand. Boiled down, we
are damned if we do and damned if we don't.
IT WOULD BE GOOD if somehow we could arouse
sufficient public concern to have more frequent comments
about what is happening How, for example, DO
our citizens feel about the way the Administration is hand
ling the water problem, the appointment OF certain officials,
the use of the Governors ultimate veto power? How 90 they
feel about the fact that we have no resident commissioner III
