IHE QUESTION Ot LH K.NsK
We made mention on Saturday,
ihrough the medium of out col
umns, of a cable message from Ju
neau, giving a brief outline
or a proposed election on
May 24th to decide the question aa
lo whether or not retail liquor li
lenses shall bo granted for the en
suing year within the corporate lim
its of Skagway. Th«» cablegram
stated that saloon men of Juneau
and Douglas felt that Judge Jen
nings had been somewhat arbitrary
in deciding as he did, but we here
with quote a section of the law in
relation thereto which makes it im
perative for Judge Jennings to fol
low the course he Is now pursuing,
if he would uphold the law himself.
"Sec. 2573. Compiled Laws
of Alaska. That before any
license is granted, as provid
ed in this net Ln relation to
intoxicating liquor, it shall
be shown to the satisfaction
of said court that a majority
of the whit? male and female
citizens over the age of twen
ty-one years, within two miles
of the place whert Intoxicat
ing iiquor is to be manufac
tured, bartered, sold and ex
changed, or bartered, sold
and exchange!, have, in good
faith, consented to the
manufacture, barter, Bale and
exchange, or the barter, sale,
and exchange of the same,
and the burden shall be up
on the applicant or applicants
to siow to the satisfaction of
said court that a majority of
the white male cad female
citizens of twenty-one years
of age or more have consent
ed thereto, and no license
shall be ;t£.nted in the ab
sence of such evidence."
Below is Judge Jennings infitruc
tions to Commissioner Martin Con
way in the conducting of the pro
Juneau, Alaska, May I, 1915.
t nitod States commissioner,
Stag way, Alaska.
Pear Sir:
In the matter of aaloor. license.
ior the year beginning July 1,
1915, I have to say:
1st. I wish you to appoint Mr.
!•,. D. Foreman and Mr. M. D. Clem
tnger as census takers.
These gentlemen will, as soon
us practicable, proceed to take a
census of all the white male and
,'emale citizens and residents over
the age of 21 yeam in the city ot
kagway and within two mile3 • f
the corporate limits of said city
This census is not for the purpooe
of ascertaining whether they ar
in favor of or opposed to li
quor, but it is simply for the our
pose of getting the names, ad
dresses and occupation ot all said
t,ergon*. Hm. fi
For the purpose of taking this
census, the census takers should
provide theiuselves with blank
books, properly indexed un
der the letters of the al
phabet, and they should place
in the book the name, residence and
occupation of each person whom
they may enumerate. The taking
of this census by these gentlemen
should be finished on or before the
15th day of May.
When that census has been fin
ished, the books containing the en- ,
umeration shall be deposited with
you, and shall be open to inspec
tion by any ons. i
2. On the 24th day of May you
will act as judge of an election, i
said election to be held at some I
central and convenient piece in the '
city of Skazway, to be selected by '
you, and you will give notice of
the time and place by publication in (
the newspaper at least three days i
before the said date.
At said election any one whose
lame is in those books shall be en- (
titled to deposit his ballot in the •
ballot box to be provided by you, i
unless challenged by. some one as I
'. anting sornv of the qualifications <
,iDoy.e prescnofu. .nucu uc
you should check his name bo &3
to show that he has voted. If the
person is in favor of liquor being
bold, he shall write the word "Yea"
on a blank slip of paper and de
posit it In tho box without show
ing it to any one; and if he is not
in favor of liquor being sold, he
shall do likewise, with the excep
tion that he shall write the word
"No."
Any person shall bo allowed to
vote between the houre of 2 o'clock
p. m. and 7 o'clock p. m.
If any person offering to rote is
challenged by any one as lacking the
qualifications afirosald, or if any
one claims he is entitled to vote
notwithstanding his name is not in
the bock, he shall be allowed to
vote, but in such case his ballot
shall be placed in an envelope and
marked with his name, and the
said envelope shall be sealed so
that no person may know how he
voted. This envelope will not be
opened unless there ia a contest of
some kind. When the election is
concluded you will count the ballots
in the ballot box and certify to me
the result, but you shall keep in
your possession, unopened, the en
velope containing the name and bal
lot of the person whose vote may
have been challenged or whose name
may not have bt-en on the books.
The persons ~vho are going to ap
ply for licenses must pay all the
expenses, and th^y must be given
to understand that the law is that I
they must show that a majority of
the white male and female citizens
and residents of Skagway and with
in two miles thereof have consent
ed; consequently. If they wish li
censes they must see ttat a ma
jority of all the qualified persons
Lre in favor ot liquor. It will not
be sufficient if they merely have a
majority of the porsoLg entitled to
vote.
I think I have made this as
plain as I can, but I am In such a
hurry- preparing to go to Ketchikan
that I may have overlooked some
thing. If I hive done so, com
municate with me at that point Of
[•ourse at the j resent time the
unly thing that is particularly ur
gent is that th? census takers be ap
pointed as aforesaid and take the
:-ensus at once. In taking the cen
sus, if a citizenof the United States
ajust come to Skagway, his name
must be taken if he intends to
make his residence in Skagway, be
:ause a person does not need to
lave all the legal qualifications of
i voter at a general election—the
law simply says that he must be a
citizen and resident—it does not
[.rescribe how long he must have
been a resident; consequently, as
lesidence is a matter of Intention,
If a person Intends to make his
home at Skagway or within two miles
thereof, his name should be taken.
I have written to Messrs. Fore
man and Clemenger that you would
ippoint them, and have also given
them instructions.
Be sure to see that all persons •
interested have due and proper no
tice. For that purpose you may
publish this letter if you think
?est.
Yours etc.,
ROBERT W. JENNINGS.
Judge.
