- holding that a statute which stated its purposes and specified its powers and limitations permissibly delegated power to a public corporation
- holding that creation of Alaska State Mortgage Association was not an unconstitutional delegation of legislative authority to provide for public health and welfare
- the Alaska State Mortgage Association provides citizens with health, safety, welfare, comfort, security and economic benefits and thus serves a legitimate public purpose
- Alaska State Mortgage Association, which promotes housing, fulfills a public purpose by promoting the general welfare
- \The act's purpose is explicitly stated and the Association’s powers and limitations are provided for specifically. The complexity of the subject of secondary marketing facilities for housing mortgages precludes a more detailed delegation.\
