THE ELECTION
The issues in yesterday's election I
were plain and The Alaskan has no j
complaint to make as evidently the i
majority of the voters in town favor
the stand taken by the Tax Payers
party on the issues at stake.
Politically The Alaskan opposed the
candidates on the Tax Payers ticket.
We believe that the present couacil
bas given Skagway one of the best
administrations in it^ history and that)
the best interests of the town would
be served by retaining the Citizens
party in power.
The Tax Payers candidates now
have the majority on the council and
will be held responsible for the ad
ministrative acts of the council dur
ing the coming year. They have out
lined their policy in their platform
and spoken and published statements
and should be given a fair opportunity
to make good on their pre-election
promises.
IE1SIKB COIL
The plan of leasing the coal lands
in Alaska to corporations in tracts
of a workable unit in return for
stated royalties to be paid to the
government, must appeal to most per
sons as the most satisfactory solu
tion of a perplexing problem. The
people have learned the evil results
of permitting coal lands to pass in
to the hands of individuals and to
become private property, and the
time has passed when they will per
mit it again.
Even at the rate of royalty offered
by Major Ballaine in his proposal
to congress yesterday, the govern
ment would receive from the coal
lands in Alaska, according to present
computations of the amount of the
coal deposit, the very handsome reve
nue of $8,000,000,000. It is time that
the people as a whole secure a fair
return upon upon the natural resourc
es which belong to the people as a
whole, instead of selling the resource
at a nominal sum, only to be taxed
heavily to purchase the same things
when marketed. ? Fairbanks Times.
THE BEVERID6E Bill 1B1IN
The strong fight being made by
Delegate James WIckersham of Alas
ka to defeat that pemiciou9 bill, fath
ered by Beveridge of Indiana, which
seeks to thrust upon us a government
by a bunch of carpet baggers, com
pels admiration. He is opposed by
a corporation of immense wealth, with
a horde of paid satellites at its com
mand. In such a contest an Amer
ican citizen with red blood in his
veins must necessarily stand by the
delegate. Of course, the fellows which
are looking for the crumbs which fall
from the rich monopoly's table are
making a lot of noise, at so much) per
noise. The Beveridge bill ought not
to become a law. We believe there
is yet sufficient patriotism among the
members of congress to defeat it.
All are not of the Beveridge stamp of
statesmanship.. Such men as Sena
tors Nelson, Clarke of Wyoming,
Clarke of Arkansas, Borah and Hey
bum of Idaho, Frazier of Tennessee,
and Congressman Sulzer and many
others win not permit such un-Amer
ican legislation to be enacted into a
law, despite the action of Beveridge,
Piles and several others. ? Seward
Gateway.
The Gateway is credibly informed
that a well known and influential Al
askan, now in Seattle, was offered a
substantial stipend by certain inter
ested parties to appear before the se
nate committee on territories and ad
vocate the passage of the Beveridge
commission bill for the government
of Alaska. This may explain why sev
eral former territorial advocates are
now shouting so lustily for this un
American. bastard bill. With some
people money is more to be desired
than mere principle ? Seward Gateway
