THE HEARINGS ON THE BEVER
IDGE BILL
Alaskans will always have cause to I
feel grateful that the administration |
attempted to saddle the Beveridge bill i
upon us willy nilly. for at this time
it is almost certain that the bill
cannot pass, and a mass of testimony
which was made public at the hear
ings has elucidated clearly the per
nicious activities of the interests be
hind the bill: tipped off their hands
to the people of Alaska: and showed.
If proof were needed, that Hoggatt
and his faction alwr.ys stood and to
day stand closely affiliated with the
allied Guggenheim interests that are
seeking control of the territory.
Now we come to the hearings them
selves and the salient features of
these hearings are told in Hampton's
magazine.
"At the head of the long table is
Senator Beveridge.
"And Senator Kean? He is direc
tor and treasurer of the Pacific Coast
company, one of the most powerful
and wealthy of all the great Far
Northwest corporations.
"And Senator Piles? He was gen
eral counsel of this same Pacific
Coast company for years.
"And Senator Hughes? He is the
colleague of Simon Guggenheim. He
is a great mining and corporation
lawyer in Colorado, and 'has given
special attention to mining and irri
gation litigation.'
"These are the leaders of the com
mittee which we are now to follow in
to a session for the consideration of
Alaska's interests.
"On .Ian. 20th the committee held
a session to consider Senate Bill No.
j.436. James Wickersham. delegate
from Alaska, appeared before the com
mlttee in opposition to the bill. Dur
ing this hearing Judge Wickersham
analyzing the bill, read from section
10.
" 'The legislative council I provided
in the bill to be composed of nine
men appointed by the President) may
grant franchises, privileges, and con
cessions, including the authority to
exercise the right of eminent do
main.'
"This provision. Judge Wickersham
contended, would give the legislative
council power to grant concessions to
whomever it pleased, to work the
mines of coal, and copper and gold
in Alaska, to control transportation
facilities and to operated the big fish
eries. After Judge Wickersham had
proceeded with this discussion for
some minutes. Senator Clarke of Ar
kansas interrupted:
" 'The Judge Is pointing out things
that are absolutely startling. To turn
them over to any eight, ten fifteen
or twenty-five men, no matter how se
lected, either by the President or by
the people themselves, dominated as
they are by those gigantic corpora
tions he speaks of. It seems to me
makes it fit for Congress to continue
to regulate them, for a time, until the
country there can fill up a little bet
ter with people, until their population
can be increased In a way which will
give them a basis upon which a gov
ernment can rest. I can sw that if
we pass the bill, it simply donates
to whoever is in control everything
worth $5 in the territory."
" 'Yes, sir; that will be the effect
of it.' assented Judge Wickersham.
Later Judge Wickersham said: "We
want the country developed. We
want the coal mines and copper mines
opened. We want them developed.
But we do not want the whole coun
try turned over to one great corpora
tion merely to get it developed
You would have the people of Alaska j
bound hand and foot and the resourc
es of the territory In a few hands."
