RESOLUTIONS
—OF THE—
Democratic Territorial Convention
HELD AT FAIRBANKS. ALASKA
JANUARY 24, 25, 26. 27. 28, 1944.
RESOLUTION NO. 1.
CONSOLIDATION OF
DIVISIONS:
...WHEREAS, there has again
been instituted, by the Depart
ment of Justice, an investigation
to determine the feasibility of
consolidating the Second and
Fourth Judicial Divisions of Alas
ka, thereby removing from the
Second Judicial Division all of the
Federal Agencies concerned with
the administration of justice and
the enforcement of law and or
der which that Division has en
joyed for 40 years, and
WHEREAS, if the proposed con
solidation is effected it will leave
one-fourth of the Territory of
Alaska and its estimated 15,000
inhabitants in the position of be
ing from 600 to 1,000 miles dis
tant from the seat of justice,
NOW, THEREFORE. Be it re
solved that this Convention rec
ord a vigorous protest against
the proposed consolidation of Di
visions, which would deny to a
sturdy, rugged pioneer people,
proper access to the Courts of
Justice and the proper enforce
ment of law and order.
RESOLUTION NO. 2.
SEED LAW:
WHEREAS agriculture is forg
ing to the front as a leading in
dustry in Alaska, and it seems
necessary that safeguards be pro
vided for those who are develop
ing that industry, and
WHEREAS a lack of uniform
seed laws is causing a detrimental
effect on farming activities in
Alaska.
NOW, THEREFORE, Be it re
solved that a pure seed law be
enacted in the Territory of Alaska
in harmony with existing laws in
the various states, providing pro
tection for agricultural sections of
Alaska against impure seeds being
shipped into the Territory
RESOLUTION NO. 3.
SERVICE DISCHARGES:
We urge that veteran's legisla
tion now in effect be extended to
apply to discharged service men
and women of World War II, and
that adequate hospitalization be
established in Alaska to care for
all ex-service people in need of
medical, surgical or other care.
RESOLUTION NO. 4.
PARTY APPOINTMENTS:
We believe that a two-party
political system is one of the im
portant factors in the remarkable
accomplishments in self-govern
ment we have achieved as a na
tion and we believe, therefore,
thaf any action by those in power
to ignore this factor in making in
discriminate appointments is a
great threat to our system of
government. We believe that the
Constitution of the Democratic
party of the 'territory of Alaska
as enacted at Fairbanks, Alaska,
in 1932 .should be strictly fol
lowed and that all appointments
to Precinct, Divisional or Terri
torial offices, should be made in
strict conformity to the said Con
stitution, and we deplore the ten
dency, particularly of officials
having the appointing authority,
to ignore directions of the said
constitution insofar as making
appointments in the Territory are
concerned, and we believe that
the present praciice is not con
ducive to continued success of the
Democratic party in the Territory,
RESOLUTION NO. 5.
OiJr DELEGATE:
As member of the Alaska Ter
ritorial Legislature and Delegate
to Congress for almost a quarter
century, the Hon. Anthony J. Di
mond has rendered unexcelled
service to the people of Alaska;
as Delegate since 1932, he has
given to the Democratic party of
Alaska a leadership that has en
abled it to render real and lasting
service to all Alaskans; on the eve
of his voluntary retirement from
Congress, it is therefore fitting
that we, delegates of the Demo
cratic party of Alaska, express
our gratitude for his services and
our regret that he will not serve
Alaska in Washington after the
conclusion of his present term of
office.
RESOLUTION NO. 6.
FERRY SERVICE:
Recognising that tourist travel
after the war will be increasing
ly important from a business
standpoint, we urge thorough con
sideration of a car ferry service
connecting the railhead at Prince
Rupert and Southeast Alaska cit
ies with Haines and Skagway,
portals to the main Alaska High
way, and that necessary highway
facilities be added as soon as pos
sible and feasible.
RESOLUTION NO. 7.
POST-WAR PLANNING:
Believing that orderly develop
ment constitutes the only proper
development, we endorse ade
quate planning so that, in the
post war period, development may
be accelerated and unemployment
averted.
RESOLUTION NO. 8.
TAX AGENCY:
We recommend that the Terri
torial Legislature enact legislation
creating an independent tax col
lecting agency, embodying a uni
form system of collection for all
divisions.
RESOLUTION NO. 9.
Be it Resolved: That in the
event Franklin D. Roosevelt
should declare himself a candidate
for nomination as President of
the United States at the next
Democratic National Convention,
the Alaska delegation be instruct
ed to cast their first ballot for
Franklin P. Roosevelt.
RESOLUTION NO. 10.
NATIONAL SERVICE ACT:
WHEREAS: The United States
of America is today involved in
the most terrible and gigantic war
of all history, against a combina
tion of brutal and ruthless ene
mies who seek to dominate the
whole world by conquest and bru
tality, and
WHEREAS: America stands as
the '‘arsenal of Democracy", sup
plying our allies with great
amounts of armaments and muni
tions, and thereby assuring the
final defeat of aggression through
out the world, and
WHEREAS: The President of
the United States, in a recent
message to Congress, has indicat
ed the necessity of enacting a
National Service Law to the end
that our total amount of war ma
terial shall continue to increase.
NOW, THEREFORE. Be it re
solved by this Territorial Conven
tion that the President of the
United States and the Congress
be urged to enact measures to
provide such conscription, as may
be advisable, of capital and labor
to the end that we win a speedy
and total victory over our ene
mies throughout the world.
