AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
No Congressional enactment
in years has arousecl the resent
ment created by the Alaska ex
emption clause in the Mer
Marine Act, commonly
known as the Jones shipping
act, hence the prospect of early
icpeai of the objectionable)
clause excluding Alaska from
the use of foreign shipping,
will be welcomed by every real
A laskan. Laying aside all ques
tion of the damage and hard
en created by the inhibitive
clause, it is a discrimination
of the rankest order .unwar
ranted and unjustified by any
■ cumstances or conditions at
the time of its infliction or sin
ce. A more distinctly un-Amer
ican piece of legislation could
huraiy Oe imagined, excluding
from the use of a privilege en
joyed by the citizens of every
other section of the United
States a people who are as tru
ly American as any that can be
i >und within all the borders of
Uncle Sam’s domain and who
in the time of national stress
gave to the nation in propor
ton to population more money
and more men than any other
political division of the United
States. Its enactment was an in
justice and its removal will be
not so much a benefit to Alas
ka as a credit to the congress
thaA restored, to good Amer
ican citizens the light of equal
privileges of which they were
so unjustly deprived for the
benefit of those who seek to
exDloit the Territory for pri
vate gain.
ELECTING A GOVERNOR
(From the Juneau Empire)
Generally speaking, those ac
<aint3d wi\i ^governmental
processes believe the law
which permits one who ma^
have an ambition to be govern
or of Alaska to file his declar
at:on of candidacy and have
his name printed on the prim
ary election ballot of his party,
just as candidates for other of
fices may, ought to be disre
garded. It is understood that
' the Democrats will ignore the
law, so that if anyone should
f:le his declaration of candi
dacy he will do so on his per
sonal responsibility,
governors of Territories are
appointed by the president and
become representatives of tne !
president and his administrat
ion in the territories, as well as
their chief executives. It would
seem presumptive, therefore,]
for one to file his declaration
of candidacy before he knew
who will be president— of
whose administration he is to
be the representative.
The Territorial law would
seem, in fact, to be an attempt
to defeat the plain intent of the
Territorial Organic Act, and as
all the authority of the legislat
ure comes from the Organic
Act, the Legislature attempted
to rise above its source when
it passed theGaw.
Some of the legal fraternity
contend that the law is void
able and that an injunction
would lie' against its operation.
However that may be, the Em
pire agrees with the public pol
icy of those who urge that it
be disregarded.
Many prominent Alasicans
are taking issue with Delegate
Sutherland over his action in
carrying the fish reserve con
troversy into the court*, believ
ing that it will result in Alaska
losing the friendship and aid of
secretary Hoover.
While the Gateway has re
ceived no other advices than
those contained in the dis
patches,it appears to us from
this long distance view that the
question is assuming too much
magnitude for so small a mat*
ter.
Alaskans must go to the
States for financial backing
for mines and fisheries. If cap
ital refused to step in and de- i
velop either one or the other,
they would remain undevel
oped, as few Alaskans could '
float these enterprises. On i
the other hand Alaskans get ■
little from their vast resour- j
ces. Their laws are violated i
with impunity, and outside in-1
terests advance the theory that
these resources are not owned
by Alaskans but by the people
of the United States at large,
wTr'ch v be true legally but
not truo morally.
Whether or not a lawsuit with ’
the head of the fisheries de
partment will advance our in-1
terests at Washington remains !
to be seen.—Seward Gateway. |
“MY CITY AND I”
My city is where my home is
founded; where my business is
situated; where my vote is;
cast; where my children are
educated; where my neigh-;
bors dwell and where my life j
is chiefly lived. It is the
h^me snot for me.
My city has a right to my civ- '
!c loyalty. It supports me and
I must support it
My city wants my citizen-*
ship, not partisanship; friend
ship, not offishness; cooperat
ion, not dissension; sympathy,
not criticism; my intelligent
support, not indifference.
My city supplies me with law
and order, trade, friends, ed
ucation, recreation and the
rights of a free born American.
I should believe in it, and will.
To the man disposed to crit
icise this is of special import
i ance.
! For one to be governed by the
above is to be a good citizen.
|—Sitka Tribune.
! SOURDOUGH,~AGED 90,
TO TAKE ANOTHER
CHANCE IN NORTH
A. M. Burns, an intrepid sour
dough,now residing in Seattle,
announced recently that he
i will leave shortly on a pros
, 1 LI-. ... . ■ i .i n i
pectin^ trip to the Jack river
country, despite the fact that
he is ninety years old.
Burns declared that the trip
may be his last but that he was
confident that he would find a
paystreak.
ANCHORAGE RAISES $2,700
TO ADVERTISE TOWN
Anchorage citizens believe in
advertising their town but un
like some other communities
they do not believe that the
two local newspapers should
do it all. So they have raised a
fund of more than $2,700 for
advertising purposes, which
will be used in connection with
funds raised at Seward and
other railroad towns for pro
| moting tourist travel to Alaska
ka and secure settlers for their
' locality.
