HOMESEEKEH IS

Speaking of the agricultural possi
bilities of the territory in his annual
report Governor Strong declares that
the population is now coming to re
claim the wilderness and establish
homes. In the past year hundreds of
homesteads have been taken up, crops
of various kinds have been planted,
live stock brought into the territory,
dairies have been started, and an era
of permanent agricultural possibilities
of Alaska are no longer a matter of
doubt. The territory offers to many
people an opportunity for attaching
themselves to the soil. It is an ac
cepted fact that there are too many
idle men in the cities of this nation
and too many idle acres in the conn
try. Alaska needs population in order
that its many latent resources may
be developed, and to do this, access
to the territory’s agricultural lands
should be made as free as possible.
The man who is anxious to till the
soil is fairly entitled to every encour
agement that the government can give
him. Unnecessary restriction should
be removed; he should receive aid
from the government If he needs it,
for a period of years, by the advance
ment of money to be returned at a!
low rate of interest within a stipulated
time. But what about the markets
for his product? These will be pro
vided by the industrial development
of the territory. It may be stated as
a postulate that Alaska is quite cap
able of producing all the farm pro
ducts that will be needed by a popu
lation of several millions, with the
possible exception of wheat. And it
is quite within the realm oh probabil
ity that enough wheat can be grown
to supply all the demands. The Ne
nana valley is potentially the wheat
field of Alaska. But it is, compara
tively speaking, an unbroken wilder
ness.
It has been estimated that Alaska
has 30,000 square miles of agricultural j
lands, besides tracts suitable for
grazing.
The white population of Alaska is,
now estimated at 44,000, an increase
of 5,000 in the past year, and the
governor fully believes that the cen-!
sus of 1920 will show a population
1 of at least 100,000. Alaska In time
will have a large population of fisher
folk, who, while prosecuting their
marine occupations, wil lalso cultivate
the land where they have found an
chorage grounds for their homes.

THE HAGUE, Netherlands, Feb. 1.
—A step in the direction of according
political rights to Dutch women is
taken in a bill to amend the Nether
lands constitution recently introduced
into the parliament at The Hague by
Premier Cort van der I,lnden. The
bill, which has yet to be voted on.
does not actually give women the bal
lot, but removes the constitutional
obstacles hitherto placed in the way
of their right to vote. Should It pass
then the electoral law will have to |
be amended before women are really
enabled to exercise their political
franchise.
The proposed constitutional amend
ment goes even further than recog
nizing women's right to vote. It also
includes their right to be elected, a
concession which had not been looked
for at this stage.
