THE COST OF A TERRITORIAL
GOVERNMENT
The Daily Alaskan has been asked
wh*t expense the people of Alasks
would necessarily iocur under a terri
torial government thsi the? are not put
to now. The answer i* simple. Not
one cent. If the expense of territory
were greater with a regular territorial
government that it i* now it would be
because the people would desire more
than they are getting now and were
willing to pay (or it.
Under a territorial form of govern
ment the salary of the go?erner, the
salaries of the judges, the per diem,
mileage and contingent expenses of the
legislature are paid by the federal gov
ernment.
The people of Alaska now pay io
license fees, tines and forfeitures and
official fees for everything they are
getting not included in the foregoing.
The fact is. and the secretary of the
treasury has verified it, we have paid
approximately $1,000,000 mote than it
has cost thi federal government to
govern Alaska in the last decade.

1906
The yesr which i? now in itt last
hours is the best Alaska has ever had.
It'has witnessed greater development
in the district than has an? of lt?
predecessors. It has seen the gold
output pass the $20,000,000 mark, pass
ing California and Canada. It has
witnessed the granting of representa
tion in congress to our people and the
election as representatives '>f two
haniy son> of. the North pledged to
urge their fitness for jelf government.
It has seen capital oegio pouring in the
district for the development of it?
resources as never before was the case.
All in all t906 has been a good Old
Year, prodigal in its generojity to the
North, and profuse in its promises fori
the future. And therein is cause
enough to welcome the New Year with
an enthusiasm that stills the pangs for
tne departing one As libera! as has
been the Old Year to Alaska, ita very
oest gift is the promise which it makes,
for s greater and better New Year.
WHY "TORIES.'
The Dally Alaskan has been asked
what is the significance of the term
?'Tory'" when applied to those who
oppose self-government in Alaska.
The significance is that which the
term has in American history. The
American "Tories" were those who
opposed the Revolutionary War. They
supported the tyrannies, George III
who refused to recognize the right of
Americans to levy, collect and expand
their own taxes. They opposed Wash
ington and his sr my which fought for
self-government. They opposed the
Declaration of Independence. They
were, in short, monarchists.
The Alaskan "Tones'' of today stand
where stood the American "Tories" of
577t>. with even less excuse for the
funding. Of this similarity was born
the term. It fits to a t-y, ty.
In a nutshell, the situation in Alaska
is this:
For self-government? The people of
Alaska who live in the district, includ
ing the mining men, business men, pro
fessional men and laboring men of all
three divisions.
Against self-government? A handful
of Jueauitcs, a few non-mideot cor
poraiions. their attorneys and local
agents, and a horde of promoters who
seek to reslize upon their ill-gotten
"pulls" at Washington.
Get ready to write "1907."
Happy New Year!
The government has added to the list
of simplified spelling the following
words "Mask^rade, Bsli Munda Nite."
