Tho Maritime transportation is a long sad
story, he said, and thcro arc yot many pro
blems unsolved.
In ’'roof of his statonont that Alaska had
long boon neglected by the Federal Govern
ment, Governor Gruaning gavo a brief rovici
of tho history of Alaska since its acqui
sition in 1367. For 17 years there vas no
government—a person could not bo married
legally in Alaska at that tirno. In 18S4
or. Organic Act v/as passed which was no more
than the Codo of Oregon applied to tho Ter
ritory. IT’ dcr this Code there could be no
juries since only taxpayers could serve on
tho jury and Alaska had no taxes at that
time. Fo more attention ras given the Ter
ritory until tho Gold Rush in ’98 when
somo 10,000 pconlo rushed in. In 1912 an
other Organic Act. was passed rhich provid
ed for a legislature. This Act, under
which Alaska is still ruled, is noted for
its forbidding measures.
In spooking of settlement of Alaska Gover
nor Gruening said that too many people com
hero to rake money and take it out of tho
Territory. This situation is the least
true in an Agricultural community.
In closing the Governor stated that there
mas r.o more beautiful place ir. the world
than Alaska—God's contribution mas magni
ficent, but man's often falls short. Tho
Democratic system works from the bottom up
the Governor pointed out. Me must show
our citizenship by voting. "Economy is
not what you save, but what you get for
rhat you spend," he :said.
