'RESERVE POLICY
FIGHT SWITCHES
| TO UPPER HOUSE
Grant Memorial Goes to Sen
ate Where Action Is
Expected Shortly.
The scon© of tho fight on tho
Department of Commerce and Its
Fisheries reserves policy was trans
ferred today from the House of Rep
resentatives to the Senate and is ex
pected to be brought to an early
issue there. Action ? on the Grant
memorial, which passed the House
Saturday afternoon, ds predicted to
take place without delay in the upper
Chamiber.
Uriler the wording of the memorial
j as it now stands, it ds not in the
| province of the Attorney General of
(the Territory to speak far the people
of Alaska. As the measure was or
iginally drafted, it declared that “no
official” is authorized "to speak for
| the people of the Territory,” except
at!:' Delegate and members of the
i legislature. In the hearing Satur
day an amendment offered by Mr.
Dnlv nnd second'd by Mr. Decker,
changed that s-’a-iion to read: “no
-it :ve offictal is authorized t > spank
(or the p ne'e of the Territory of
Alaska, except the members of this
Legislature and the Delegate to Con
gr i from this Territory.” The At
torn <y General consequently is the
or-l.v official affected as his is the
only other Territorial office now in
exi,;i n e which is filed by popular
vote.
I Text of Memorial
Tiie memorial as finally adopted
I by the House is as follows:
I “To the President and the Congre-s
of the United States:
i “Your mt mr.rlalists. the Senate
and Hon o of Representatives of th ■
Lc; slot are if Alaska, respectfully
I present:
: “That we deplore the indiiscriminate
• creation of f:-h re-serves tin the Ter
ritory of Alaska and consider the
j nine not only unjustifiable but inex
cusable. Wo know them to entail
numerous evils, which are mare than
a loyal and solf-re.3 pec ting people
! should be f xpctfe 1 to bear uncom
plainingly.
“We have been taught to balieve,
and we do believe, that all the law
making p, w. r of the Federal govern
ment baa been by the Constitution
confined to Congress
“The creation of fish reserves in
Alaska is for the avowed purpose of
suspending the laws enacted by Con
gees i and to am bs tit it'e others made
by a Bureau. We regard this as a
v,‘clous infraction of tho fundamen
tal law of the land.
“It is astounding for patriotic citi
zens cf a republic to contemplate,
that whenever the Executive
Department 13 dissatisfied with
. the laws enacted by the leg
islative department of the gov
ernment, or with the failure of that
department to amend those laws In
such manner as the former may de
j i':-e, any executive may authorize
some officer to substitute arbitrary
rules cf conduct in place of statutes
enacted under constitutional powers.
, “A government of a reserve is es
, oent tally a government by men in
! stead cf bv law and places the indi
vidual foriunes at the mercy of of
j Octal whim. Irrespective of dhe good
I intantic ns of present officials, the

; BEEF, WINE

is the best Spring Tonic
Iron performs a very import
ant office in the human body.
It improves the quality of the
| blood, the tissues are better
nourished and all functions are
performed with more vigor.
The combinaton of Beef, Iron
and Wine also promotes appetite
and invigorates and stimulates
the digestion and thus acts as ths
very best stomach tonic.
