POPULATION WILL OPEN UP
ALASKA RESOURCES
Rex Beach, Alaska's Ambassa
dor without portfolio, may be a
trifle optimistic in his belief that
opening of Glacier Bay National
Monument to prospecting and
mining will start another gold
rush within 30 days, but ’the ter
ritory’s best known booster is
certainly on the right track and
Alaskans can well be apprecia
tive of his efforts in behalf of
promoting mineral development.
The old time Alaskan knows that
Alaska's initial progress came out
of the ground and if the Terri
tory is to accomplish anything in
an industrial way it will have to
open up the earth again and
bring forth the yellow metal.
It is a well known fact in Alas
ka, even if it hasn't seeped thru
yet to the members of Congress,
that the Glacier Bay area holds
valuable deposits of gold, silver:
copper, and other minerals. B.D.
Stewart, Territorial Commission
er of Mines, has ample evidence
of positive proof that high grade
pay dirt has actually been tapped
in various parts of the area. As
Mr. Beach told the Senate Com
mittee, it is almost possible to
prospect with field glasses and
throw your hat into the highly
mineralized belts.
But of course, back about ten
years ago some one got the bright
idea that nature was such a
grand and glorious thing in Glac
ier Bay that is should be preserv
ed fcr posterity and got Presi
dent Coolidge to issue a procla
mation keeping it inviolate from
human hands, ad infintum, a step
toward tying up every piece of
public land In Alaska that sup
ports as much as a tree. It's a
nice idea, but how are the people
in Alaska going to make a living,
1 and how are we to offer any in
ducement for others to come and
build up our population unless
we can develop our mineral re
sources ?
Some will tell you that what
we need in Alaska is capital.
True. But what we need a great
deal more is a half million or
million people whose influence
can be felt in the halls of Con
gress. If we actually want to de
velop Alaska instead of talking
about it, we should encourage
them to come north in hordes.
The right sort will stick; the oth
ers will go back. And the best
answer to how they will make a
living, is the simple fact that the
record book fails to show yet
where a. thousand, let alone a
half million, people starved to
death in a land of plenty. They
didn’t starve on Plymouth Rock
and they won’t starve in Alaska,
but they will make a country out
of it.—Juneau Daily Empire.

Platform.
GENERAL ELECTION, TUESDAY, SEPT. 8th, 1936.
We, the undersigned candidates for the Terri
torial Legislature pledge ourselves, if elected,
to support and work for the following meas
ures:—
1. To improve present laws rather than enact new ones.
2. To give liberal support to the public schools.
3. To support liberal appropriations for roads, trails arid shelter
cabins, and an equitable disrtribution of those appropriations,
and oppose the present system of giving preference to locali
ties not primarily engaged in mining.
4. To work diligently for the revetment for the protection of the
City of Nome and for the construction of an adequate Coast
Guard Station in Nome fitted with modern aerial and sea
equipment.
1 5. To secure improvement of Radio communication in the Second
Division.
6. To work for the establishment and improvement of larding
fields on Yukon River points and all sections of Seward Pen
insula.
7. To support ample appropriations for Old Age and Mother’s Pen
sions, and work for the enactment of adequate territorial leg
islation to secure the extension of a workable social security j
act to Alaska.
8. We strongly favor the return to the American system of elect-1
ing local School Boards to govern rural schools.
9. We are heartily in favor of a general 8-hour law.
10. We strongly disapprove the closing of Industrial Schools built
for Eskimo children, and urge the immediate establishment in
the Second Division of a tubercular sanitarium in the proxim
ity of some large community for the treatment of the Eskimo
people.
11. We favor the establishment of Federal institutions in the Terri
tory for delinquent Eskimo children.
12. We strongly oppose the appointment of any but bona fide Alas
kans to Federal positions in Alaska.
13. We believe that the present condition under which vast areas
of patented mining ground is not being worked, is detrimental
to the mining interests of the Territory.
14. To work for the enactment of legislation that will not only clari
fy the existing mining laws and obviate the present conflict of
opinion in the construction of their provisions, but also give to
the mine worker adequate protection against injury to his Lie
and health.
Our personal interests and future depend upon the continued
prosperity of this part of Alaska, and if elected we will be respon
sible to the people of the Second Division for all of our actions as
members of the Alaska Legislature and will work together for j
the best interests of Alaska and especially the Second Division.
