of the mjtt vital requirements of the
territory at the present time.
ENDORSE ADMINISTRATION
First ? We endorse the admlnistr. -
tion of President Ko>sevelt as o ;e of
ths> m st notable examples of enlight- '
ened and progressive statesmanship
ever presented to the history of this
nation, and we declare our emphatic
approv.il of til* measures of reform
in legislation and admiuistr?tiOD the
president h&s uccomplishtd. We es
pecially C03.mend the progress he has
made in minimizing the intluence of ^
great aggregations of wealth In the
Federal government and the abolition
of special privileges.
URGE HOME RULE
Second ? We believe that Alaska is
entitled to all the benefits of the o> -
dinance of 1737 and we demand the
extension of that patilotio compact
to the management and control of this
territory, In order that the people of
.\laska may have a voice in their own
affairs. We favor the adoption of a
congresslomil amendment to the oritan
ic laws of Alaska territory removing
from the jurisdiction of the judges of
the district courts those executive acd
administrative powers which oppress
the courts acd the people, and impos
ing such executive and adminis
trative duties upon the governor of the
territory.
COAL UNO LAWS AMENDMENT
Third? That congress should im
mediately enact amendments to the
co?l land laws, which ia their present
form prohibit the development of the
great industry of coal production in
Alaska. whioh is of vital importance
not only to this territory but to tht
entire Pacific coast.
AID FOR RAILROADS
Fourth? That one of the most vital
needs of Alaska is the construction oi
railroads throU) bout the territory to
permit the development of regions
of rich resources now inacces
sible except at enormous expense
and in order to piomote the cocstiuc
tion of l.hesi great arteries of com
merce we favor financial aid by the fed
eral government cf all legitimate rail
road enterprises organizid to build
trunk lines in Alaska whenever such
companies shall with their own c?pltal
make substantial progress with their
projects, and we urge that all railroads
so aided by the government be placed
directly under government control in
the fixing of freight and passenger tar
iffs.
NEW JUDICIAL DISTRICT
Fifth? We favor the immediate cre
ation of a Fourth judicial division in
