FINK'S FALLACIOUSNESS
Sp. aking before the House commit
tee on territories and arguing In favcfl
of the Hamilton bill. Mr. Albert Kink,
some time a Nome attorney, stated
that the people of Alaska were not
entitltd to home rule and that there
were aot five hundred people in the
uorth who expected to make the cout.?
try their permanent home. Mr. Pink
added, however, that he was one of
these and that his interests were thor
oughly identified with the north.
Mr. Fink places himself on record
and makes three distinct charges in
his efforts to oppose home rule. First
lie says that the people of Alaska
are not entitled to home rule. What
decision we see here, what masterly
discrimination that enables this Nome
lawyer to sweepinglv state that Alas
kans are not entitled to home rule.
Perhaps he thinks that Filipinos are;
and perhaps he can give his reasons
for this nicety of judgement. Home
rule ia a sacred fight of all free
born Americans, and no opinions of j
?Mr. Fink will make " otherwise.
Rights cannot be conferr??d by acts
of Congress or nullified by Presiden- )
Ual vetos. They are something we in
herit. the result of ages of civil revol
ution. We may or we may not be in I
possession of our rights, but they ar<
our rights just thf same. But to con
tinue.
Mr. Fink says that there are not
five hundred people in all Alaska who
intend to make their permanent honuf
in the north. This statement is so
utterly ridiculous that it hardly mer
its a reply. It falls flat of its own
tatuous folly. It is either an assump
tion based upon a profound ignorance
of Alaska or else a deliberate mis
statement of facts
Now to Mr. Fink's last point. He
*ayjt he is one of the real Alaskans
and that his interests are identified
with those of the north. Now as a
matter of fact Mr. Fink, while he may;
possibly have some real estate hold
ings in Nome, is not now a resident
of the northern metropolis, but is
located in Nevada, where he has a
law practice and is apparently going
to make his home. Yet he is an Al
askan ? aceordinj; to his own state
meats.
It is precisely this stamp of people,
these self constituted authorities on
northern conditions which they so
shamelessly misrepresent, who are
hurting Alaska. Arrogating to them
selves the assumption that they speak
tor the people of Alaska, they appear
before Congress and de'lberately mis
state facts concerning Alaska, seek
ing to farther the selfish ends of their
employers or those with whom they
would curry favor.
Happily, however. James Wicker
sham is on the job and Mr. Fink
doubtless discovered this fact before
he had finished his testimony. Wick
ersham knows the north and Its peo
ple, their opinions and desires; and
he speaks with the full authority del
egated to him by the people. He Is
amply able to protect us at all stag
es of the game, as the Senate com
mittee hearings proved to the satis
faction of the people of he north and
to the dis-satisfactlon, we imagine,
of Messrs: Hoggatt. Richardson, et aL
THE CONSISTENT TORIES.
The Tory newspapers of Alaska
which have been yelling until the
type was black in the face against
any territorial form of government
because of the horrible expense it
would entail upon the suffering prop
erty owners of Alaska, particularly
the defenseless raining: corporations,
are all whooping for the appointive
commission bill which provides:
No tax shall be levied by the legis
lative council in excess of one per
ceutum upon the assessed valuation
cf property iu said Territory In any
one year, * * ? Provided further,
that said legislative council may levy
a tax not exceeding one per centum
on the value of the Kross output of
mines. ? Valdez Prospector.
