VOTING SYSTEM
GREATEST CRIME
IN TERRITORY
(Continued from Page One)
place. Among these is the leasing
system on timber and oil, etc. If
these are not made attractive to big
capital either Alaska is not to be
developed or the system must be
changed.
Voting System, Crime.
“The attitude of groups of natives
and of the Territorial government
itself is bound to retard the devel
opment of Alaska. And in trying to
embarass in every way those who
want to come in and help. But the
worst crime in Alaska is the voting
system. There should be a bill pass
ed making it a law that those who
can not read or write be restrained
from going to the polls. You have
1,800 natives in the Territory who
can neither read nor write, yet, it is
these very ones who decide the fate
of your elections, and they are dic
tated either by a medicine man or
a priest.
No Washington Voice.
‘‘The election laws in Alaska must
be Changed if the country is to go
ahead, and only the intelligent pop
ulation must vote. As it is now, the
intelligent people of the Territory
have no voice at Washington. Only
the natives have a voice speaking
for them at Washington. The mer
chants, the Chambers of Commerces
and the many civic organizations,
should express their views on leg
islature and appointments. The cit
izenry of Alaska should be heard at
Washington and we want to hear it,
but unfortunately, whether it is a
matter of modesty or not, I do not
know, but we seldom hear from Al
aska’s intelligent citizenry.
Welcomes Expressions.
“Cheap Indian lawyers are express
ing the will of Alaska today, and
the very intelligent and delightful
people, are having no voice as far
as the policies of Alaska are con
cerned. The departments at Washing
ton, the President and Congress,
would welcome an expression of in
telligence from the citizenry of Alas
ka on its problems.
“I am utterly astounded to find
the high type of people I have met
as citizens of Alaska. They would
reflect credit to any city in the Unit
ed States, yet, they have no expres
sion at Washington. Congressman
White and myself are taking two
months off from our duties at Wash
ington, time which we can ill afford,
and at our own expense, to come to
Alaska and see for ourselves, your
problems. Under our department we
are members of the fisheries, ship
ping and radio committees. Con
gressman White will leave Washing
ton within a few weeks for the Radio
conference at Paris. Lawrence
Richey, assistant secretary to Her
bert Hoover, and myself will accom
pany Commissioner Henry O’Malley
of the fisheries department, on his
investigation trip in Southeastern Al
aska. During this inspection in the
Panhandle region, which will be made
on small boats, the ladies in our par
ty will be guests at the home of Mrs.
Chilberg in Juneau.”
Elizabeth Romig Here
On Visit with Sister
Miss Elizabeth Romig, daughter of
Dr. and Mrs. J. H. Romig of Fairbanks,
all former citizens of Seward, arrived
Saturday on a visit to her sister, Mrs.
J. P. Hannon. Miss Romig narrowly
escaped death in an airplane crash at
Fairbanks some weeks ago, in which
she sustained injuries which were at
first thought serious. Besides a badly
broken left arm, numerous cuts and
bruises were received in the acci
dent. Miss Romig returns to Sew
ard apparently none the worse from
her fall from the skies, although her
arm is carried in a sling.
Miss Dorothy Baughman will attend
school in the States this winter. Her
mother will go out with her about
September 1.
The Bureau of Public Roads camp
in charge of Coll McDougall has mov
ed from Mile 14 to Mile 7, where work

Lake.
