There is no reason," said Senator
Meyers why the Democratic party of
Montana should be swallowed by a
hybrid combination of radicals and re
volutionary factions bent^on the de
struction of the country. I refuse to
Bwallow their non-descript ticket and
see no reason why other democrats in

SEWARD’S MAN DELIVERING
THE GOODS
John Noon’s words being given
first page space on the pages of the
big daily newspapers assuring public
ity of the right kind for Seward and
Alaska. The following is reproduced
! from the Seattle Post Intelligencer:
! Of September 16,— Bringing a verbal
barrage to use against bureaucratic
government of Alaska, John Noon of
Seward, representing the Pioneers of
Alaska, and an envoy of several citi
zens and organizations in general, is
in Seattle en route to Washington and
a tour of large Eastern cities to urge
greater cooperation in Alaskan de
velopment.
Noon, who loaves today, has al
ready been invited to address cham
bers of commerce in Detroit, Phila
delphia and New York. His topic
will be “Ground Facts on What’s the
Matter With Alaska," from a pos
pector’s point of view. . He .carries
letters from the Pioneers of Alaska,
an organization of 5,000 members, to
be delivered to government officials
in Washington. In his mission he has
the support df Gov. Riggs of Alaska
Too Many Bureaus.
“There are forty-three depart
ments, bureaus and commissions hav
ing jurisdiction over Alaska'" he
said yesterday at the Hotel Seward.
“This multiplicity of bureaus and de
partments, interlocking as they do
in many instances, reduces the Alas
kan to a state of peonage. Regu
lations governing these departments
must be modified to give the poor
man a chance and make him fiee.
We Alaskans are now broke— hun
cueds are leaving the country. On
the boat cm which I was a passenger
there were seven families leaving
the territory, one of these families
having been North for thirty-one
years and now coming out disgusted,
leaving all — their property behind.
The government has got Alaska all
sewed up."
Noon has been in Alaska for twen
ty-five years*. He is a typical pio
neer and Westerner, having “punch
ed cattle all the way from Walla Wal
la to Cheyenne" before going North.
He said he would alarm the Salt over
Alaska's neglect
Want Old Oil Lawa ,
!
Hi's specific recommendations to the
government will be as follows:
Modification of bureaucratic regu
lationa. '
Give Alaska the same laws as wars
granted to Washington and other
States during territorial days.
Restoration of coal and oil land
laws that were previously in effect.
Extension of the reclamation act to
Alaska, and the federal clearing of
5,000 acres to be sold to homesteaders
and paid off in forty years*
Restriction of royalties and abol
ishment "of all reserves except those

“We want reservations atricksn

sed Noon. “The Tongas#

o that Alaskans will be
nstead of peons under a
i. And we insist that the
.reclamation act be extended to Alaska
I in order that homesteaders may pay
off on their land in forty yean, as in
the Washington desert act.'
Noon declared that government
tests show a 17 per cent sugar con
tent in Alaska-grown sugar beets—
the highest sugar content in the
country. Under the present system,
a person taking out a 160-acre home
stead must clear one-sixteenth, or ten
acres, of the tract in the first year.
Clearing land costs $200 an acre, so a
homesteader would be required to pay
$2,000 for clearing land the first year,
before he got a cent from crops, added
Noon.
U. S. Should Clear Land.
“The government should deer about
ten tracts totaling 5,000 acres in va- t
lions sections of the territory, and
sell it in areas of from forty to sixty
teres,” recommended Noon. Each of
these ten tracts could support a sugar
'beet factory." a
Alaska's industrial possibilities
are unlimited, and it is entirely
feasible to ship products to Seattle
at a profit. Instead of restriction,
the government should offer aid and
I encouragement to the settler, and
{ also should adverise Alaska's re
| sources to the world.. And when
;these settlers arrive, it is the duty
i . **•
: of the government to show them
how to raise crops. Take reindeer,
1 for instance. Twenty-five years ago
1,072 reindeer were shipped into
Alaska. Now these have increased to
200,000 head, with 100,000 head being
j slaughtered in that period. In the
' near future this will develop into a
* major industry, with Alaska ship
ping enormous quantities of reindeer
i meat to the United States.*'
Noon scored the forestry prevision
which requires that any mill mak
ing paper pulp out of Alaska forest*
reserve woodvmust pay a royalty of
i 25 cents a cord for a ten-year oper
ating period. He will recommend
that this royalty be reduced to a
cents a cord for a twenty-five- year
period. Much of Alaska’s forest acre
age will produce 600 cords of pulp
wood, so the royalty will discourage
the pulp industry unless modified, be
said. H$ will also recommend better
oil land leasing laws and the employ
ment of government ofl leasing offic
ial to be stationed In Alaska.
Noon is a former member of the
Alaska legislature.
