HOME RULE AGAIN.
After giving a brief outline of the
history of Alaska since Its purchase
by the United States in 1867, Pierre
Marchon, writing in the February
number of the Alaska- Yukon maga
zine says:
There are but two obJe<tions to
full territorial government for Alaska.
One is a lack of permaie.T popula
tion, and the other is th?> immense
area of the territory in which it is
>i?.n>ed there are necessarily adverse
and conflicting interests. In refer
ence to ?he first objection there is in
Alaska today nearly forty-five thou
sand people. Five thousand persons
came out at the close of navigation
last fall. Many of them are bona
fide residents of Alaska that came
outside to escape the rigors of the
winter. Just as a well to do citizen
of the United States might go to
Florida or California to spend the
winter. But even admitting that ten
per cent of Alaska's population is not
permanent, certainly the other ninety
per cent have some rights, and all
questions of vital Importance to them
deserve due consideration. Alaska is
truly a large country. It is bigger
than all the states of the Union that
border the Pacific ocean, but Alaska
has many rivers, and every river is
a highway. Our idea of distance is
to a great extent a matter of educa
tion. In the provincial East it is
as far from the farm to the market
place as it is in Alaska from the
towns to the mining camps. There
may be a great difference in miles
and it may require a long time to
make the journey in Alaska, but in
that country of vast proportions and
great distances a Journey of a few
hundred miles is a mere incident in
the ordinary affairs of life. With the
great progress made in aviation in
tho last few years it soon may be
possible for residents of Point Barrow
to make a flight to Juneau as quick
ly as we can Journey from Seattle to
Chicago.
In view of thes? facts here sub
mitted 1 believe that Alaska ought to
hav^ full territorial government. I
believe it s entitled to territorial gov
ernment, and ought to have it quick
ly because it will not be many years
before Alaska will be knocking at the
doors of congress and asking for ad
mission to statehood. There is an
other phase of this question I have
not discussed, and that is the pos
sible attitude of Alaska corporation
interests toward home rule. I am
not going to discuss it, because I
don't believe we are going to adopt
the methods of Russia when it turned
Alaska over to the Russian Fur com
pany.
FYom rejxxrts arriving from Wash
ington the Guggies have uncorked the
barrell and almost any kind of an
Alaskan lobbyist can get a meal tk"k>-<j
for appearing before the committee
urging the Beveridge bill. Captain
Ferguson Is the latest to get a fall
vest and his feet under the lunch
counter. ? Juneau Dispatch.
