He stands unqualifiedly for legislation which will centralize
the powers and duties of the various federal bureaus operating
in Alaska.
He believes that such centralization will benefit the Territory
by removing vexatious delays, and doing away with long range
govern ment.
He believes that such centralization will be a big item in
bringing prosperity to Alaska, because it will do away with an
important factor which has heretofore consciously or uncon
sciously worked to keep capital out of the Territory.
He believes that such centralization would vastly accelerate
the opening up of the undeveloped resources in Alaska, such as
coal, oil and other minerals,
A vote for Galen will bring you a step nearer towards burn
ing Alaska coal in your home, using Alaska gas in your automo
bile, smelting our copper in the North and having Alaskan agri
cultural products on your table.

ONE BRIGHT SPOT
The fact that McCarthy is not .
an incorporated town, although
I often regretted by the residents,
is a matter of thanksgiving to
, the property owner, who does
| nat have to pay taxes during the
dull times. Many owners of
| real estate in incorporated
towns, have found the payment
of the taxes beyond their means
| and had to surrender properties
