ti
a
i
After an amendment seeking t<
remove the referenee to elective of
flcials had been defeated, the Oh am
berliin substitute rejected, the Senati
this morning by a unanimous voti
passed the Grant Fish Memorial
It passed in the exact form ii
which it came up 'from the lowei
House and is ready for transmitta
to the Governor as coon us it cat
be properly shaped.
The memorial caused little debati
and all of that was on the amend
ment which was offered by Mr
Chamberlin, who moved to striki
out. the clause reading:
"Your memorialists beg to eubmi
that there is no elective officia
authorized to speak for the poord
of the Territory of Alaska, cxrcp
the members of this Legislature am
ihe liclegate to Congress from till
Territory."
g V»H IIS » UVClSlglll.
j Mr. Dlmond, defen (Hue th
! amendment, said it was obvknifd:
I an oversight on the part of tin
i House which could have had n<
j reason for singling out the Attorney
j j General in r.uch manner, he bednt
I the onlv elert.dve official to whotr
lit eon Id refer. Nothing was to b<
| gained by the provision, he con
| tended, as there is no politica
( campaign in progress for which i
might be used as ammunition. Jii
sold lie could find no ground at al
for “this backhanded slap at tin
Attorney General."
Means What It Says.
Mr. I.’unn, declaring his op post
- tlon to the amendment, said that
}; the provision referred to nothing
’'hut the memorial itself. After all
’ j he added, this ts nothing but s
’! memorial and if not worth the ef
*ifort it would take to change it
11 Tie could see no harm In the para
■ graph, which ho declared, “Actually
i expresses just what it means.”
Mr. Chamberlin, distressing from
the amendment, declared he be
j lieved his own memorial expressed
I the sentiment of the pcbple oi
I Alaska for borne control of Alaska
| natural resources more adequately
than tiie Grant memorial and served
| notice that he would offer an amend
[ ment to any blH or memorial that
i might be introduced voicing that
I j sentiment.
I Mr. Ayer, who voted against the
amendment, declared it was evi
dent that the memorial was going
to pass without change and as long
as that was true, the sooner it was
out of the way the better.
Call fer Record.
Mr. Chamberlin called for a
record vote on the amendment
which was supported by Ayer. Di
mon-d. Dunn and Snodgrass. The
amendment was defeated by a vote
of six to two, Dimnnd and Chamber
lin voting yea, and/ Ayer. Aldrich.
Brown. Dunn, Hunt and Snodgrass
nay.
There was no. debate on the final
passage of the memorial, the vote
for passage being unanimous.
It declares the creation of fish
reserves unjust lllable and indefen
sible and demands their Immediate
abolishment and that the fisheries
T>e turned over to the Territory for
control and management.
