sage the measure will doubtless be
represented to Congress as embody
ing the aspirations of the Alaskan
people for home rule; and, the cir
cumstance that a few Alaskans have
thoughtlessly spoken favorably of
the measure, will give the weight to
this contention; whereas in all pro
bability, such expressions by Alas
kans were predicated on the theory
that any change of any kind would
ba an improvement over existing
conditions.
Such small scraps of genuine
Alaskan sentiment as may reach the
ears of individual congressmen will
doubtless do more harm than good
in many cases. If the last session
of Congress be a fair criterion by
which to judge, too many Alaskans

will have lost their tempers and '
their heads, and in writing letters
voice their protests in terms of
abuse and approbrious impugnment
of motives. That policy will get us
nowhere. It provokes both dislike
and contempt in the minds of the
disinterested, who would almost sure
ly be our sympathizers and champ
ions if the story of our oppression
were presented in terms of frank
and manly courtesy.
When a man’s birthdays have
piled up until folks of forty strike
hijn as quite youthful, he is more
apt than younger men to hesitate
in crediting ulterior motives to'
others—even to professional politi-1
cians. Paradoxical as it seems, the
bunching of years that bring with
it a strain of pessimism, bring also :
a pretty-well rooted conviction of
the fundamental honesty of the gen-1
eral run of men; and those nation-!
al legislators directly identified with
this I.ane-Curry measure are no ex
ceptions to that rule. A careful and
I dispassionate study of the whole
1 matter in all its details will con
vince a fair-minded man that its
putative congressional authors at all
events, were actuated in the main
by lofty motives. Without doubi
they wish Alaska well.
Unfortunately, this fuet subtracts
nothing from the peril the proposed
law portends for Alaska and her I
people. Even the purely eommer- j
cial interests supporting the I,ane- [
Curry hill have no feeling of un
j kindness toward Alaska and Alas
j kans. Their chief interest is their
own business advantage; and the
circumstance that such profit as
j may accrue to them' will rest upon 1
i the increased distress of a far-dis
jtant subject-people is, unhappily, not
! inconsistent with the accepted ethi-'
I cal standards of a commercial age.1
Every Alaskan who has gone to
j the bottom of the matter knows
j that the passage of this measure*
| will let Alaska in for a political
hamstringing; that it will he the!
j death blow, for seven years at
least, to Alaska’s aspirations for
jhome rule; and that it will double- !
, rivet the repressive bureaucratic
, policy which has ruined the Terri
| torv industrially, and driven a ma
jority of our former white popula
tion into exile.
Probably not a member of Con
j Kress is fully conscious of these
! facts; and probably not a man in
Congress but would resign his sea*,
rather than vote for the measure if
j he knew in advance, as any intelli
gent Alaskan ought to know and
■ most of them do know, the dis
i aster its enactment into law will
j bring to the people of this Terri
| tory. Unfortunately, the average
member of Congress knows as little
I of Alaska, her peculiar conditions,
her needs, and her perils as the
casual reader of this article whose
information was derived in school
boy days from the geographies of
thirty years ago.
Even cabinet members, recently
and previously in our very midst as
visitors, provoked secret gasps at
the evident paucity of their informa
tion touching Alaskan matters they
arc charged by law with adminis
tering. To all intents and purposes
Alaska is a terra incognita to the
American congressmen and the
Washington executives charged with
responsibility for its government.
Any opposition to the Lane-Curry
bill implying improper motives in
Congress itself, is both silly, be
cause it is untrue, and dnngerous.
becouse it alienates friendly interest.
What is almost certainly true, is that
the Lane-Curry bill was introduced
in Congress with an honest hope
that it might correct the more
grievous abuses in Alaskan bureau
cratic administration, with the know
ledge that to give it any chance of
passage, it must preserve intact the
innumerable federal jobs for which
Alaska serves as a pretext and ex
cuse.
Excepting alone those member*
from the Northwestern Pacific states
who are naturally responsive to
Seattle influence, and willing that
Seattle's strangle-hold upon Alaska
business may be strengthened ami
perpetuated, congressmen generally

have but an impersonal interest ii:
\laskan matters. With that Seattle
inllucnee removed the l.ane < urr.v
bill would likely fall of its own
weight. Of itself it cannot satisfy j
and answer the iceently-.uouscd j
solicitude and euriousity of Alaska’s j
friends in the United States touching |
the pitiable plight of this Territory, j
Then, moreover, a measure framed j
at the instance ana upon th" advice
of the heads of those bureaus whose j

congressmen interested done in the |
equities of the case. No perpetua- j
tior. of political sinecures; no in-j
cidmtul benefits to the aggressive
commercialism of a distant <• ity,'
and no other circumstance will pro- ,
cure the passage of the Lane-Cur j
ry bill if the members of tbe Ameri
cau C.'o.irre ;s once know that those,
things ean only be at the further j
sacrifice and increased distress of!
the Alaskan peonh . Unfortunately j
Aln'.ka may no, he able to place
hit side of the matter before Con - i
cress. It is rur ueculiur misfortune
that aside from a limit'11 financial
group, and the purely-oflicia! bu
renueretic group, few Americans arc
interested in Alaskans, ir any of the
other subject-peonies under then
jurisdiction, exceptir.:' in an ace- i
demir way. In this fact, and the fact \
tha1 actual residents of Alaska will
i
have no voice to ■ ir'n luim hi r im
pending peril, lies the chief assur
ance of the paesag! of 'his evil pre
sag'-i.-t measure.
Alaskans past the age of hasty con- ,
elusions and unfounded deductions j
and ungenerous suspicions, reject the j
theory that the sponsors in Con- ]
gress of the Lane-Curry measure
intend other than good to the
people of Alaska. But, whatever de
ference the Alaskan may concede to
lofty motive, he can never believe
a measure specifically consolidating,
| strengthening and perpetuationg the
I administrative evils which have
| brought himself, his neighbors, and
; his country to ruin, can be a har
: binger of better things.
Laying aside all resentments bom
iof injustice; all misgivings bom of
j experience; and accepting without
I reserve that the men who will con
i stitute the proposed Alaskan De
i velopment board will disprove in
\ their words and deeds the Lincoln
! ian maxim that no man is good
I enough to govern another man with
j out that other man’s consent; still,
| the conclusion obtrudes itself irre
sistibly that if the Land-Curry bill
passes into law, The Alaskan re
sponsible for the preesent and future
j welfare of a family, will have no
other sensible course open to him
| than to abandon his Territorial
: domicile and seek a new home in
I a lund where hope and opportunity
’ are not closed to his children.
