M. D. Snodgrass
For 43 years has been an Alaskan resident and has been
closely associated with the agricultural development at Kodiak,
Fairbanks and the Matanuska Station for 20 years. I was agricul
tural development agent for the Alaska Railroad for four years
and have farmed for mvself for 17 years at Palmer and Fairbanks.
I served eight years on the board of regents of the Alaska
Agricultural College, School of Mines.
I feel that I am qualified to represent the farmers and the
people of Alaska in the House of Representatives, having served
one short term in the Senate from the Fourth Division in 1923.
During that term I caused to be introduced the bovine tuberculosis
legislation and introduced an amendment to that law providing
for compensation for the owners of cattle slaughtered under the
law.
I introduced and helped to pass the first sizeable appropria
tion lor the College, the first Alaska Fair Bill, and voted for the
first graduated tax on salmon pack, the net profit tax on gold and
copper, the first Workman’s Compensation law in Alaska and the
eight-hour work day. ',
1 introduced a bill for- the election of the commissioner of
education, which was passed during the next session. I voted to
give Alaska natives full government in native villages and voca
tional education for schools in Southeastern Alaska.
Through a personal campaign I secured vocational training in
the Kodiak School in 1908 and the Wood Island School in 1909.
I have always taken an active interest in community affairs,
working for better land laws through memorials to Congress, by
legislation, and through local organizations. I have worked for
favorable legislation and constructive development of our national
resources of forest, farms, fisheries, mines and the Territory as a
whole. „ . , ,
I believe that labor and capital are equally vital to our de
velopment and that disputes should be settled by arbitration
boards, comprised of representatives of labor, employers and the
general public.
I believe in, and will work for, vocational education in our
schools and apprenticeship in vital trades. To protect both labor
and the public, I believe that organized labor should be controlled
and held responsible as is industry or big business. I believe that
our national resources, as water power, gas and oil, national
forests and mineral deposits should be utilized to the benefit of
the nation and state, as well as of the producer or manufacturer,
by means of fair share to all concerned.
1 believe that taxation should be on a wide base and placed
where it can be borne without destroying the small individual or
company. Tax on the personal household effects of the home, farm
and small business should be exempted until a fair standard of
living is attained. I believe that a graduated income tax is fair,
placed on those able to bear the load.
I believe that private capital investment should be encouraged
and that the government should go out of competitive business,
except in times of national crises. I believe that a sound currency
should be established and maintained. I feel that our present
national financial condition is bordering that of Central Europe.
Our aged people are becoming paupers. I feel that Congress has
failed completely to regulate the value of our monies, and has
allowd the administrative branch of the government to destroy
the value of our savings in bonds, life insurance and cash savings.
I believe that the people who have a right to vote should exer
cise that right. It is a duty they owe to themselves, to their nation
and to their state.
VOTE FOR SOMEONE. You probably will vote right if you
think it over seriously. And, remember, your right to vote is one
that cannot be taken from you.
