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. Generally believed miners favor Ariz
ona 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.
I advocate and defend the right of work
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 tntereferes
with the personal rights of citizens.
To all of which I am pledged,

FIGHT WAR TAX
Claim That It Is Unnecessary
and Urge Government to Cur
tail Expenses.
(WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.—The
Republican members of the House of
Representatives held a caucus last
night and passed resolutions stating
that a war tax upon the American
people Is unnecessary and that the
expenses of the government can be
kept within its income if the expen
ditures are curtailed to where they
properly belong and no new work
is undertaken until conditions im
prove.
The Republican members of the
House will fight any effort to saddle
a war tax upon the people. Demo
crats claim that the Republican ac
tion Is a political move to embarrass
the administration and that the mi
nority members know that some
means must soon be found to raise
the revenues of the government.

—
English King Prevents Operation of
Home Rule Bill Until After
the War Is Over.
LONDON, Sept. 19—The British
parliament adjourned yesterday until
October 29th, when they will recon
vene. The parliament has provided
for the enormous cost of the war by
passing the appropriations asked by
the government. They have also
passed the bills authorizing the large
increase of the army made necessary
by the continental war and besides
have finally passed the Irish home
rule bill, the bill providing for the
separation of the Church of England
from the Welch government.
King George has signed the last
two named bills, but with the nota
tion tha* they are not to become ef
fective until after the present war is
concluded. This is done to prevent
any friction in the British empire
during the present crisis.
