PARTY LINES WOULD COMPLI
CATE
The Daily Alaskan is still of the
belief chat to conduct the election for
a delegate to -ongress from Alaska
along party lines, such as they are
understood to be in the east, would
tend to complicate matters and befog
the issues of the campaign. The
people of Alaska are interested in se
curing a republican form of govern
ment such as that obtaining in each of
the states and territories of the nation,
including Hawaii and Porto Rica If
their attention is directed from that to
a fight between democrats and republi
cans. who hare opposing ideas on the
tariff question, imperialism and other
matters that are purely abstract in so
far as they affect Alaska.the real ques
tion, the one that concerns people of all
parties, is likely to be lost sight of.
We connot aiTord to let the question of
self-government degenerate into a vote
catching adjunct of a scramble for vic
tory just for victory's sake.
Washington dispatches say that B.
D. Crocker, formerly of Walla Walla
but now a resident of Cacoma, will be
reappointed collector of internal rev
enue for Washington and Alaska.

(Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan.)
Washington, May 9, ? The Hlggins
bill, granting a federal charter and
other concessions to the Alaska Rail
roadj (Burleigh's road) was favorably
reported in the house yesterday, by the
committee which had it in charge.
Representatives of other Alaskan
lines and proposed lines are fighting
the Higgins bill which they say dis
criminates against their companies.
Another bill of a somewhat similar
character, though it does not possess
the federal charter characteristic, for
the Alaska Central road has been favor
ably reported. It repeals the $100 a
mile tax, grants the company five
years in which to complete its construc
tion and gives it 160 acres of land for
each 100 miles of road.
