NO HELP
Indigent Indians Depend
ant Upon Charity
The United States government has no
helping hand for sick and indigent In
dians They are simply another tax
upon the charity of the Alaskan
pioneers who are developing the re
sources of this district and building
homes in it. In addition to maintain
ing city (governments, in addition to
paving for the education of their own
children, in addition to paying a bur
densome occupation license tax, in ad
dltion to paying the cost of civil govern- !
ment and to spare, the people of Alaska
are called upon to bear the expense of
caring for the Indians of the district
yet they are given no part in their j
management.
Gov Ho^gatt w?? appealed to by the <
Skagway city council because it had '
been sought to makr non-resident In
dians a charge upon the municipality.
Got. Hoggatt recognizes the justice of
the appeal but says he is powerless to
act, though he ?ill try to, get the fed
eral government to provide funds for
that purpose and to provide a way for
its disbursement.
Got. Hoggatt's letter, addressed to
W. S McKean. clerk of the city of
bkagway. written at Juneau under
state ? October 3, is as follows
"I have to acknowledge the receipt
of your communication of the -7th
ultimo regarding sick and indigent In
dians. and regret that at present there
is no means by which the United States
Government lean afford relief in such
instances as you mention.
"1 am endeavoring to get necessary
legislation to csre for just such cases,
but until this is had. I can see no way,
except to trust to the charity of the
good people of Alaska.'*
"Respectfully,
"W. B. Hoggatt,
Governor of Alaska."
