SELF-PRESERVATION
L*st spring, when the territorial
legislature passed the bill requiring
pioneers to deed over all property to
the teritory before being admitted to
the home at Sitka, the Miner ex
pressed the belief that the law was
unfair to these men, and that it would
meet with universal condemnation by
♦air-minded Alaskans, both pioneer^
jaud citizens,
That such is the case is shown by
the numerous resolutions passed by
igloos throughout the territory, ask
ing that the law be repealed.
As the bill now stands, a pioneer
can not receive the pension formerly
granted him or her, but must go to
the home whether he or she desires to
nr not, which we believe is wrong. In
many cases the men applying for ad
mission to the home have small prop
erties which with a small sum fur
bished by the territory would allow
♦he applicant to spend his or her de
clining days among friends and ac
quaintances in the locality of their
•hoice. The expense of taking a man
the home and his maintenance as
a resident would far exceed any pen
sion of $20 or $25 pr month.
The - pioneer to secure admission
mnst swear that he is not reserving
any property, and must produce two
“reputable witnesses” to bear him out
1m his statement, which is practically
impeaching the honesty of these grand
•Id men.
Tear after year the pioneers have
attempted to secure needed legisla
tion, without result. They have voted
♦or men who have played politics with
the home and the order has suffered as
a result. With a. membership of
■ early six thousand in the territory,
it would appear that if these men en
tered the political arena they could
secure practically whatever they asked
for, and that they will not get relief
until they do learn the game of poli
tics.
In past years many pioneers have
heen opposed to the order organizing
its strength in a political way; but
the past year has caused a great
change of ideas. There is no more
reason why the pioneers should keep
out of politics than there is for any
other organization.
The pioneers should demand that
the home be taken out of politics,
and the superintendent be a member
•f the order. Small sums of money
•wned by members at the time of
their entrance to the home should be
retained for use by the possessor in
case he desires comforts not fur
nished by the territory. In case of
the death of a pioneer who is found
to have sufficient property to have
kept him, the territory can easily ap
point an administrator to the estate
and take out such sums as have been
spent for his support. The idea is
that the pioneer is not going to the
home as a pauper, but as a reward
for his years of service in opening uy
the Northern empire.
The Order of’ Pioneers of Alaska
should by all means go into politics
Net partisan politics, but politics foi
the good of the order. So long as
the pioneers are being used by politi
cians they should get something oul
©f the game.—Valdez Miner.
