the Friend - M ssion at Kotzebue
to secure part of the landing
field there, slating it would re
sult in great damage to the field
should they obtain what they are
after, and that everyone here
should work to prevent tlie field
there being cut up.
Alleges Tribute Exacted
Senator Roden also referred to
conditions among the natives
there, alleging that the Friends
Mission at Kotzebue was exact
1 ing a 10 percent tribute from
the Eskimos who belonged to
their church, on furs, fish and
whatever money they earned in
other ways. He said that th.s was
certainly against the principles
'of the American government, in
a country where the inhabitants
| arc a free people and citizens
of the United States.
“I will certainly attempt to
have this condition corrected and
will obtain more proof to show
that such a tribute is being exact
ed." said the senator.
Mr. Roden further wen! on re
cord favoring aid to pro-pec! >rs,
not as lias been done in the past,
but in a manner whereby they
should receive financial assist
ante after he has prospected
ground, and thereby would have
more money to continue again.
He said the territory should
set ud a system whereby assays
could be made at little expense
to the miners.
Stand On Fish
The Senator’s stand on the fish
question proved to be the same as
that taken by many another prom
inent Alaskan in that he was de
finitely opposed to the fish trap.
As far as the control of the fish
industry was concerned. Senator

ALMER RYDEEN, Register
I
i Roden declared it was his opin
j ion that the federal government
■ would never turn over the con
trol of this important industry to
the territory, citing instances
when attempts had been made by
| Delegates to Congress to secure
that power, and had failed.
In regard to the fur farming in
Alaska, Senator Roden said that
this was one industry which had
to contend with many petty
squabbles and political bicker
ings. which were holding the
business back, explaining that con
| trol of the property on which
farms were situated, could not be
secured by the farmers and that
they were subject to being or
dered off at any time. In this
respect he also mentioned the
serious menace of the wolf and
its depredations among the wild
life of the territory.
He said he was in favor of
more adequate pensions in A1
aska, declaring that $20 a month
was entirely inadequate and that
a human being could not exist on
this alone. He said that it could
be raised and that the money
would certainly be well spent,
asserting there was lots of mon
e/ spent by the territory for
which they got nothing, and cit
ed numerous junketing trips of
territorial officials during the
pa9t years, around the territory.
I.conomy in Govcrnmert
Bringing up the subject of ec
onomv In government he mention
ed the Territorial Highway En
glneer as flying around the ter
ritory drawing his pay and doing
nothing. He also said that mem
bers of the liquor board for Al
aska also were drawing down
wages for doing nothing except
being good democrats or good
republicans. In respect to the
management of the liquor affairs
of Alaska he said that the Board
of Liquor Control was nothing
but a political football being

Senator Roden declared the
system of having high salaried
officials in the territorial govern
ment drawing down big wages for
doing very little, and then taking
a thirty-day vacation every year
with pay, was all wrong. He
declared he had introduced a
bill in the legislature to cut
their salaries and thereby pro
vide funds for something worth
while, but it had been defeated
and called un-American because
it was to cut salaries.
The whole system was wrong
according to his statements, of
paying large salaries to officials
for work which required only a
sho^ time to do. Another crit
icism he had was the employing of
relatives by territorial officials,
to the exclusion of bona fide
