| our Representatives and Senators.
Who asked for it, or its necessity,
I have yet to learn. If it is as re
ported, it is as vicious and das
tardly a Gerrymander as has ever
been practiced. If Congress passes
| any such Act without a full and
, complete airing of the measure,
they will be remiss in their duty.
; Who gave anyone the supreme
authority to decide how our mem
bers to the Legislature should be
apportioned in any Division. Dem
ocratic government leaves al' such
decisions to the people affected
! by them. 11 is political manipula
tion in its rawest form and should
show the people )f Alaska just
what type of politicians are be
hind this measure. If they will do
such things to us now, what would
they do if they had a political ma
chine functioning in a State?
In addition, I have been in
formed that Congress is being re
quested to remove the employees
of the Alaska Railroad and the
Bureau of Indian Affairs from the
compliance with the Hatch Act.
Were this so, they could be used
to help swing the vote and build
up a campaign fund. It stinks.
We may be denjpd privileges in a
Territory, but better a devil we
'.now than one that we don’t.
A final recapitulation gives us
the following showing:
1st—Al! of the Divisions have
ome fur industry and mining.
2nd—The First and Third, in
addition, have commercial fishing
and some forestry.
3rd—The Fourth and Third Di
visions, some agriculture.

4th—All other industries in the
Territory are incidental to the
above.
5th—The primary cause of our
iigh freight rates, is one way
haul. Ships make their money
from freight, passengers just help
carry the load.
(»th—The construction of roads
is necessary for the development
of Alaska in eacn Division.
"th—The people who settled
Alaska, did it on their own. It was
not until these pioneers demon
strated its value that die Gove n
ment took much interest, outside
of creating law enforcement agen
cies and eventually a school sys
tem for the Nat ves, then the
Coast and Geodetic Survey, the
Geological Surveys, then the Rich
ardson Highway, then the rail
road. When war came and the
Japs landed in the Aleutians,
money poured in like water,
which if wisely expended since
the purchase, would have given
Alaska twenty times its present
population.
8th—Do you, indiv dually, be
lieve that we. eighty thousand
people, can bear tine burden, out
of our little holdings, of the de
velopment of six hundred thou
sand square miles of Territory,
md Are you willing to do so. Per
sonally I am not.
