Claiming to speak for residents of
the Tanana valley and residents of
Fairbanks, W. H. Parsons, president
of a Fairbanks bank, said: "It may
be that the reason is a sentimental
one but I cannot concelvo how any
person claiming Alaska as a homo
can rest content under the old sys
tem of government now in operation
or what may be hoped for with a con
tinuance of the Taft policy toward tha
territory. I have had the theory ad
vanced that with the home govern
men' the expense would fall heavily
upon the shoulders of the compara
tively few owning concerns In the
present territory. My investigation
leads me to declare that with home
rule there would not be the slightest
Increase in the proportion of the ex
pense to be met by the property
holder." ? Douglas News.
