ISSUE STILL LIVES
The fact that the Foster Literacy
Bill failed to pass in the Senate when
brought up for final action last week
settles the measure so far as the pres
ent session of the Legislature is con
cerned, but, although the Foster bill
was killed the issue still" lives and it
will continue to live until given a
place among the Territorial laws.
Next year and when candidates
for the Territorial Legislature are an
nounced they will be asked to define
and declare their positions on the
literacy question. ****** The lit
eracy question will constitute the is
sue—bigger, greater and more impor
tant than party fealty, fo'r when the
qut'Siiuu ui iiuiiitr pirori »auuu,
future of Alaska and common respec
tability are involved, party lines are
forgotten and the better element
stand shoulder to shoulder for the
common good.
No, the Foster Literacy Bill, while
it has taken the count—rather it was
a draw—in the second skirmish it
having passed the House—still lives
in the hearts of the true defenders of
the Territory’s interests, and will
again appear in the legislative arena
two years hence and when Alaskans
true to themselves and to their coun
try’s interests, will have seen to it
that the Legislature which assembles
will be of that stamp that guage a
voter’s qualifications by his knowledge
of the country rather than by his
avoirdupois, and by which those who
desire to exploit the illiterate vote
now estimate his right of franchise,
their contention being that if he is
big enough he should vote. Give the
illiterate champions their way and the
voting prerequisite would be a pair of
scales at each polling place.—Stroll
er’s Weekly.
