"I PLEDGE you MY 1RD"
kk But I pledge you my word that I will do
all in my power to remedy that evil." said
Judge Wickersham to a big Fairbanks au
dience after detailing how- of all the millions
that are annually taken out of the waters of
Alaska by the fishermen and cannerymen not
one dollar comes back to the district in the
way of schools or churches or homes or build
ings or improvements of any kind. "But I
pledge you my word that I will do all I can to
remedy that evil.''
AN INTERESTING pi
If Wickersham and Corson get together on the same
stage at Nome the event would be worth going in there to
see and hear. It would be an opportunity to ask interest
ing questions that would not be overlooked by \\ icker
sham. One of these would be:
??How do you expect to meet the expectations of Gov
ernor Hoggatt, who gave you the nomination and who is
against territorial government first, last and all the time,
and the expectations of the people who you are asking to
elect you but who are FOR territorial government first, last
and all the timef'
Wickersham is to challenge Corson to debate and if the
latter accepts it will be up to him to answer that question.
. lie platform of the convention has for its cardinal p.'ank
this declaration for territorial government but Governor
Hoggatt. who is working for Corson's election with all the
might in him, is against territorial government first, last
and all the time and says so. Now what do you know about
that, Mr. Corson/

MLOfZ MOVES FOR "THE INITIATIVE"
A movement is i n foot to'call an Al
aska convention to be held jn Valdez
next October to foi mutate a list of
meivures most urgently needed in Al
aska to bo Mibtnitted to congress for
enactment. The siiggosttou comes from
Mayor 'red M, Firowo of th?t town.
It is pla:>ai ! to issue a letter to all Al
aska towns requesting them to xeod
representatives to such a convention.
The object of the convention will be
to obluin an agreement of representa
tive Alaskans upon a demand for a few
measures of legist*' i>>n. With such a
concentrated demand, not asking for
any measure except its will aronse little
oppo?ition it Is bcileved that an etTec
tive appeal can be made to coogre?3 at j
the next session. Concerning the status
of Alaskan legislative demands Mr.
Brown writes to the F'rosoector:
"The same old cry is made at the close
of each se-sion of congress, that Alas
kans do not agree &? to what thoy want, j
and therefore congress can do nothing. .
U >th of these propositions are ur.ques- (
tionably true ? people of Alaska do -ot
and cannot agree, and congress does '
nutuioK.
"i'he people of Alaska can agree just
as iho people in : Li?> -itttes agree oy a '
majority rule. Sell-en .vltuted lobby
ist* (jo to Washington iurinp tacn ses
sion of co-tress, aud quarrel among
themselves knocking one another's
suggestions an J ileminds as not expresi
injj or representing the real wishes of
Alaskans.
"it is extremely doubtful if a bill pro
viding for ex en ! a/ the open sonson
for killing snakes in Alaska c uld be
passed under present conditions, unless
after an investigation by a cougrets
ional committee, snd the., another in
vestigation of the work of tb.: first com
mittee, and a departmental investiga
tion us a substitute for all previous in
vestigatious, the real truth should be
discovered? that there are no snakes
in Alaska.
"Let factional lighting and quarrel
ing be suspended leng enough to per
mit of tho bona fide Alaskans? not
politicians? but tlnse who make their
homes in Alaska and are not seeking
political preferment for themselves,
holdiug a representative convention, at
some point, free from tho influence of
tho Seattle spirits and o her detri
mental soirit, and in a businesslike way
adopt by a majority vote (which is the
on'y civilized method, short of an appeal
to force and arms), a sot of demands
which congress must and will heed."
