POST -ROGERS DEDICATION
Three years ago Aug. 15th, two
of the most outstanding and be
loved of the sons of America—
Wiley Post and Will Rogers—
met a tragic fate near Point Bar
row, farthest north point of Am
erican possessions.
On that date with fitting cere
mony a monument of stone from
their native state of Oklahom%
was dedicated to their memories.
Overlooking Walikpi lagoon,
this monument will stand for
time indefinite, a reminder and
warmgn signal to ail who pass
that way. To be provided with
lights, it will serve as a guiding
beacon to those who navigate the
sea or airways of that vicinity.
Fairbanks, as the place from
which Post and Rogers took off
on their final flight, recalls with
Special interest and affection the
two modest, yet great men,
whose lives were lost in the tra
gic event.
No one can measure what
Wiley Post contributed to avia
tion in his record-breaking round
the world flights and many other
extraordinary flights. His pio
neering achievements will cause
his name to long illumine the
pages of aviation history. The
happiness brought to the world
by Rogers through his rare and
kindly talents of which he gave
so generously to the world, like
wise is beyond measure.
May the beacon erected in
honor erf these two great Ameri
cans never be allowed to become
dimmed. May the devotion and
the spirit which prompted its,
erection prevail to assert itself
through every possible agency
until all Alaska is provided with j
beacons and other aids to aerial
navigation which will make saf
er and reduce to the minimum
the hazards of those who travel j
over the Northland in ships of
the air.—Fairbanks News-Miner.,

PLATFORM OF DEMOCRATIC
PARTY OF ALASKA
The Platform of the Democratic Party of Alaska, adopted at the
Territorial Convention held at Seward on Jan. 18, 1936, is the plat
form on which every Democratic candidate runs for Territorial
office until the next Territorial convention to be held early in 1940.
It consists of 21 planks which we herewith publish in numeri
cal order as space permits:
1. In keeping with the princi
ple of representative selif-govern
ment, we urge home rule for Al
aska, and, to that e<nd, we not
only favor a full Territorial form
of Government, but we also be
lieve that all Federal and Terri
torial offices in Alaska ought to
be filled through the appoint
ment o f bona-fide Alaskans, and
♦hat all such officers and their
employeees, except those under
the Civil Service regulation,
should be recognized members of
the party in power.
2. We believe in the fullest
exercise of the jurisdiction now
vested in the Alaska Legislature,
and that all matters not of pure
ly Federal concern should be
administered by the Territory.
3. We renew our opposition to
Federal control of the fisheries
of Alaska, which Federal control
has resulted in a short season of
highly intensive fishing and dis
crimination against Alaskan la
bor to the detriment of local
fishermen, business men, and the
entire population of Alaska.
We urge that legislation be en
acted by Congress amendatory to
the organic act of Alaska to the
end that all restrictions be re
moved which now prevent the
Legislature of Alaska from pass
ing laws to regulate and adminis
ter the fisheries industry.
We urge the elimination of the
standing and oating fish traps in
Alaskan waters to the end that
qualified »esident fishermen of
Alaska may be afforded the op
portunity of securing a just re
turn for thur labor expended as
participants in the great industry
that has been developed from
the natural fishing resources of
the Territory.
4. We also reaffirm our oppos
fur and game resources of Alas
ition .to Federal control of the
ka. voice our vigorous protest
aigainst the continued misrule of
those resources by the Alaska
Game Commission, and urge that
the organic act of the Territory
be amended so that the Alaska
Legislature may have complete
control over these resources.
5. We endorse the policies of
the Roosevelt Administration
which gives adequate recognition
to the rights of the public, capi
tal and labor in matters affecting
industry.
. 6. We urge the continuation of
Federal appropriations for road
and trail building in Alaska and
the enlargement thereof, so that
the Territory may be speedily
covered, by a complete and coor
dinative system of roads and
trails; liberal appropriations for
the improvement of rivers and
harbors of Alaska; increased ap
propriations for extending the
work of the United States Geolo
gical Survey, Public Surveys,
Coast and Geodetic Surveys and
the Lighthouse Service in Alaska
7. We favor the utilization by
the Government of Alaska and
by all Federal bureaus and agen
cies in Alaska of local products
and local labor whenever possi
ble. whether by contract or oth
erwise.
8. We favor liberal appropri
ations for public schools in Alas
ka including those conducted by
both the Territorial and Federal
authorities.
