HOW TO HELP WICKERSHAM
If. as we most certainly believe,
the proposed Beveridge bill which pro
vides-an appointive legislative coun
cil for Alaska is repugnant to a great
majority of the people of the north
land, it is our bounden duty to help
our elected delegate in the fight which
he is making to prevent the passage
of this measure.
At the present time the administra
tion forces are bending every effort
towards mustering enough voting
strength to put the bill through both
houses of Congress. In the prelimin
ary committee hearings Ex-Gov. Hog
8*tt and Major Richardson have ap
peared and urged the passage of the
bill. Mr. Wickersham has been com
pelled to fight them single handed.
W hen the bill comes before the
House as a whole our delegate will
undoubtedly be aided in his fight by
Congressman Sulzer of New York and
other able allies who are posted on Al
askan affairs and who realize how un
fair and un-American It is to apply
commission government to represent
ative American citizens who are capa
ble and anxious to govern themselves.
But In both branches of Congress
the main body of the legislators are
Ignorant of Alaskan conditions and
this circumstance will favor the pas
sage of the Beveridge bill.
On the other hand, were the mem
bers of Congress fully aware of the
conditions in Alaska, we believe that
all the power of the President and
the corporations would not suffice to
overcome the opposition that would
b? Inevitably engendered.
It is here that the people of Alaska
can aid the delegate in his fight. Near
ly all of us know, directly or Indirect
ly, some of the members of the na
tional legislature. Write these men
personal letters, set forth your own
personal opinion, enclose clippings
from newspapers of the territory, tell
about conditions, and plead for Justko
to Alaska. In the end such leters
are bound to have an influence. At
least they will go far towards remov
ing the prevalent ignorance concern
ing Alaskan conditions, and Ignorance
is the- greatest obstacle that Alaska
has to contend with.
If we remain supinely indifferent
we do not deserve anything better
than Congress bestows upon us. But
if all the people bend their energies
along the line we have suggested we
will get results. To this end The Al
askan would suggest that every citi
zen of Skagway and throughout Alas
ka take the time to write a long per
sonal leter to any of the national leg
islators that he may know. Every
little bit will help the good cause..
TARIFF AND WAGES.
One of the most striking exhibits
that have been made in regard to the
actual workings of the high tariff sys
tem in the United States is the sche
dule of the capitalization and the
earnings of the sixteen big cotton
mills of Massachusetts. The total of
their capitalization, which, needless
to say. does not by any means repre
sent cash Invested, is $26,966,000. In
ten years their profits hove amounted
to $7,228,332, more than twice their
capitalization; and the revision of the
tariff last year gives them still more
"protection." The reports of the
Massachusetts bureau of labor show
that the average weekly wage in
these mills is $7.92. ? Dawson News.
