AN ENCOURAGING INTERVIEW
(Juneau Empire)
The statement of Congressman
Free of California that 1,S00 Indians
who can neither read nor write, di
rected by “cheap Indian lawyers,” de
cide the fate of elections in Alaska
and his declaration that “only intelli
gent citizens should have a vote in
Alaska” are encouraging. The state
ment w’as further emphasized and
made more encouraging ,by the Con
gressman’s tribute to the “high type
of white people” he found in Alas
ca, who, he said, “would reflect cred
it” in any of the largest cities of the
country and the assertion that “the
President and members of Congress
welcome expressions from the intelli
gent citizenry.”
Congressman Free’s statement en
courages the hope that it would be
possible to get an adequate literacy
bill thru Congress. Particularly would
that be the case if the people of Al
aska would elect a Delegate to Con
gress who would be representative of
the enlightened sentiment of the
Territory.
In this interview Congressman
Free has touched the most vital issue
in Alaska at this time. The thing of
first importance in a self-governing
country is an untainted ballot box—
pure elections where self-determined
ballots are cast by citizens who under
stand what they are doing when they
vote. Until Alaska gets that it is fu
tile to talk of getting legislation that
will aid in development.
The first duty of the voters of Alas
ka is for the white citizens of the
Territory to unite solidly and elect a
Delegate to Congress and members of
the Legislature who will stand stead
fast for a literate electorate, one that
cannot be dominated by a political
ring held in power by illiterate Indians
voting in a mass at the dictation of
the ring’s bosses.
FIGHTING CAPITAL.
Forest J. Hunt of Juneau, in a com
munication to the Alaska Weekly
pats Mr. Paul and his Indian constit
uency on the back in an alarming man
ner. That is, alarming to the white
I voter who can see the handwriting on
the wall in case organization of the
Indian vote can be perfected through
out the Territory in the effective man
J ner in which it has organized in the
First division. Mr. Hunt may be right
in his views regarding the efficiency
of Mr. Paul and the credit due him
in rising from a hogan to representa
tive of this great commonwealth. But
he explains Mr. Paul is popular with
the masses because “he stands stead
fast against capital,” and refuses to
be suborned by the clink of the dol
lar. Which is wonderful, if true. The
! man who goes on record as fighting
| capital might also go on record as
fighting the best interests of the Ter
ritory. Alaska needs capital more
badly than any spot on the face of the
globe today. It is its only salvation
from obscurity and desolation. The
sole trouble with the Territory today
is that capital is fought consistently
in every division, town and hamlet in
the Territory.
Messrs. Davis and Merrill dropped
in on Seward last night in their high
' pewered seaplane, much as a neighbor
might make an unannounced call. They
came up the coast over the same route
traversed by the world flyers, and
made no fuss about the trip. The
: flyers had to have signals, landing
j places, and every attention. Messrs.
Davis and Merrill alighted near the
beach, ran their plane up to the tide
line, tied it up, and walked off to their

able flyers will he given sufficient in
ducement to cause them to take up
their residence here. It is true the
season is late, but next year the can
neries have promised to pay a liberal
subsidy for flyers which with the mail
contract and the added fare for pas
sengers would give a machine a sub
stantial income. In the meantime
hunting parties, tourists and prospect
ing outfits should give wages to a
flyer.
Millionaire G. Buchanan
May Bring Party Boys
Seward Region In 1926
George E. Buchanan, millionaire
philanthropist of Detroit, accompanied
