LAWMAKERS TO AID ALASKA
(From Seattle Times)
Alaska may expect to benefit from
the recent visit of four senators and
twenty-six representatives to south
eastern and southwestern parts of
the Territory. Its resources impress
ed the lawmakers. Its need of devel
opment is recognized by them. The
Northland can congratulate itself that
some of its principal difficulties will
be considered by the next Congress
with every prospect of satisfactory
settlement.
While the returned lawmakers are
not agreed on a remedy for every ill,
there is among them a unanimity of
opinion with regard to the treatment
required for several of the chief com
plaints of the territory. Quite uni
formly, the members of the congres
sional party expressed themselves in
favor of legislation to conserve the
fishing industry, extend a greater de
gree of home rule and promote trans
portation facilities by making ade
quate appropriations for the opera
tion of the government railway and
for the construction of roads and
trails.
Alaskan fisheries have been gradu
ally deteriorating. Productive waters
are more distant and catches are far
lighter than formerly. Protection for
the northern marine wealth is urged
by all persons familiair with the situ
ation, but there is wide diversity of
opinion as to the methods that should
be employed to prevent depletion. The
industry is under federal supervision
and recently the government put into
effect additional conservation meas
ures. Fishery jurisdiction by the Ter
ritory is advocated by many Alaskans
but the proposal is not likely to be
favorably considered by United States
authorities. In the opinion of those
returned senators and representatives
who expressed themselves on the sub
ject that the fisheries should remain
under federal control.
A large measure of home rule!
should and will be given Alaska. In i
this matter, Congress, if it accepts
the advice of those lawmakers that
just visited the Northland, will be lib
eral. The question of self government
in Alaska is not complicated as in
Hawaii, Porto Rico or the Philippines
by a racial issue. Aside from the
Eskimos, the population is comprised
almost entirely of American born cit
izens.
Transportation facilities are essen
tial to the territory’s development.
The government railway probably will
be unable for several years to pay op
erating expenses, but its benefits will
more than offset any deficit. The
continued building of roads and trails
will make accessible the resources of
the interior, besides supplying feed
ers for the railway, thereby narrow
ing the difference between receipts
and expenditures.
At the next session of Congress,
Alaskan affairs will receive more in
telligent consideration than at any
time since the acquisition of the ter
ritory.
