Delegate Elect Is l'es^ins:
Away for People
Walter E. Clark, the Washington
la -.pondent of the Seattle Post
lnlk?iiKeocer, writing under date of
Dec. 14. says:
"Thomas Cale, delegate-elect to the
long term of congress from Alasna, ar
rived in Washington yesterday. This
is the first trip Mr Cale has made out
of Alaska in nice years and he is having
a good ttme.
"He is here now to get into t'ie game
and to help along anything which miy
be of advantage to Alaska tie says he
i* decidedly in favor of territorial gov
ernment for Alaska.
?? 'Everyone who is a thorough Alas
kan, 'said "he. 'and a thorough American,
t>elieves that we should have territorial
government in our part of the country.
Of course, there are a few, such as
foreign companies having interests
there, who ar? opposed to this, but they
are decidedly in the minority.
" 'Congress is in no position to Know
? htti we need iu the wav of Ijws. Cer
tain general laws could be made for us
by that body, but there are a great
many local laws which are badly need
ed. especially pertaining to mining,
which they do not undtrsttnd, nor pro
vide fur. I surelv hope to see Alaska
have territorial government,'
"Mr. Cale a so hopes to see the t^sk
of license granting in Alaska trans
ferred from district judges to the gov
ernor, He says that these licenses are
often asked for from places 200 or i!00
Iniles from the seat of the judges. It
place* the judge in an embarrassijg
position in determining whether or not
a license shalLje granted "
