GOVERNOR STRONG

Ton. J. F. A. Strong,
Governor of Alaska,
Juneau, Alaska.
I do not advise calling special
esssion legislature. Doubt pos
ibility getting quorum. Also
eem it unnecessary. Advocate
hat Congress pass special act
mposing additional burdens on
’ederal officials to meet em
'rgency.
CIIA. E. INGERSOL.
To our correspondent, when
nterviewed, Mr. Ingersoll said,
“I have studiously refrained
I “om explaining my attitude or
ote on ary matter passed up
-n during the last term of the
egislature. I have never laid
laim to a monopoly on world -
s' wisdom, and, in the light of
vliat I hoped to accomplish
vhen I accepted the trust the
oters in Southeastern Alaska
daoed upon me, I consider my
elf a dismal failure. As re
tards the sending of a represn
ative lo the legislature from
his section of the country, as
nr as his efficiency is reckon
l ;d on, it is just aswell to send
io one at all. and - save the
noney and annuyance. W c are
telplessly outnumbered by the
■epresentation from the Inter
or, and our interests are so
•adieally and diametrically op
posed to each other, that all we
an hope to get is the crumbs
'rom the table. Far from dis
tancing I say this with the
’ugliest sense of and respect
or the integrity and concious
le.votion to duty of each and
very member. There is no
>eed of an elaborate argument,
lommon sense spells a divis
on of this great territory, if
ve can ever hope for sanelog
slation. Each man gave to the
Territory the best that was in
tim, and I have always allow
'd il to rest at that heretofore.
However everyone is more or
'ess touchy when branded as
a fool, and for that reason I de
sire to stale with reference to
the late ruling of the Attorney
General that the question
-aised is in no sense a new one
or T personly on thefloor of
'.he House questioned our right
or power to ulnee these addit
ional duties upon the Federal
officials. 1 also remember dis
tinctly a-king the advise of
Governor Clark and also Fx
Pecretary of the Interior Mr.
Ballinger their opinion, and I
was imformed that the District
Attorney and other lawyers
passed upon the matter, an 1
advised that the legislature
had Hie authority, and so
foul crime was done”.
