DIVISION OF I1
territory is
ADVOCATED
i
Division of Alaska into two terrl- j
tories will be asked at the present j
session of congress, If the other towns ,
of southeastern Alaska will join Ket- ,
chikan in the movement, it was de- (
elded last night by the city council at j
its regular meeting. As the panhandle
of the territory is compelled to furnish
practically all of the taxes which go j
to maintain the territorial govern- ,
ment, and as the legislators from the ,
other divisions, during the first four ,
sessions, have seen fit not to take this
into consideration in doling out the
appropriations, the council is of the
opinion that steps should be taken at ,
once to remedy conditions.
Each year the burden of financial
responsibility falls more and more to
Southeastern Alaska while it 1b' not
given as much money for roads and
trails as the other divisions. The Coun
cil last night expressed the belief that
the time had now arrived when the
people of the panhandle would: be
much better off if they were separated
from the mainland of Alaska.
The city clerk was instructed, to
gether with a committee, to cpnfer
with the commercial club, communi
cate with each of the other cities in
the First judicial division, to see if
some concerted action could not be
taken. Instructions were also issued
by the council that figures be com
piled, showing the amouqt of .taxes
collected in southeastern Alaska, dur
ing the past six years, comparing
them with the returns from the other
divisions. With this the council grants
a comparative statement of the Appro
priations made, which will shoty, the
members believe, that the panto ndle
has been used unfairly.
Method of Procedure
While there is still some uncertain
ty as to the method of procedure, to
secure a division of the territory, the
opinion was offered that congress
should be asked to authorize aA elec
tion, at which a referendum coiild be
taken as to separating or continuing
as part of the mainland.
It would make little difference, it
is believed, whether to submit the
question to a referendum of the Whole
territory or simply the southeastern
part. In either case there are suf
ficient votes in the southeast, the
councilmen were led to believe, to
carry the election for separation.
If the mainland thinks the south
eastern part has not been getting the
worst of it, it could have no objection
to the division. Any vote cast against
the dividing of the territory would be
an admission that the panhandle was
the little gold mine that has bfen fill
ing the poke of the rest of Alaska for
years.
Officials and business men s^em un
animously in favor of the split and all
are confident that the desired ends
may be attained, if the matter <is gone
about in the proper way.—Ketchikan
