PLACER LAW
I favor a repeal of the existing placer
law passed by the last legislature and be
lieve the legislature should get as much
information as possible from the prospect
ors of Alaska relative to mining legislation.
ELECTION LAW.
I favor the enactment of a lawful and
proper election law; one that will meet
with the approval of the people of this
district.
LABOR.
I favor the passage of proper legisla
tion conducive to the prosperity and hap
piness of the laboring man, and, therefore,
I favor a repeal of the present eight-hour
law. I believe laboring men have a legal
and moral right to form trades unions for
the purpose of peaceably assuring concert
' ed action in behalf of those things to which
they are entitled and which, without or
ganization, individuals cannot obtain.
l advocate ana ueieuu me ugui ui *»w**».
ers of every branch of activity to organize
for the purpose of securing shorter hours
and Increased wages.
I favor the enactment of a law making
it a felony to participate in any combina
tion or conspiracy to blacklist employees.
I also favor an employer’s liability act,
as well as safety appliance legislation to
protect the limbs, lives and health of the
workers.
CANNERIES.
I believe a law should be enacted and a
tax levied on the canneries and their pro
duction—a law that would compel the can
nery interests to pay.
DEVELOPMENT.
I favor the immediate development of
all the resources of Alaska and especially
this district, and believe the control should
be left to the people of Alaska and demand
that our coal, ^timber, oil and all other re
sources be opened for entry.
UNJUST LEGISLATION.
I am opposed to unjust and oppressive
sumptuary legislation which lntereferes
with the personal rights of cltlsens.
To all of which I am pledged,
