For, oil the authority of .Mr?. J.
Weir Troy of Juneau, national Demo
cratic commit! eewoman of Alaska,
ami business manager of the largest
newspaper in I'nelc Sam's vast Air tic
territory, the women of Alaska are
more actively interested in politics
than are the women of any other part
of the Fnited States.
M Troy, whose husband owns the
Aa-ka Daily Km pi re, and is the Alas
kan collectoi of customs. i> in San
Francisco to attend the Democratic
convention. For several years ?he has
play, d a leading part in the education
al. 11\ ic and imlustrial evelopment of
the territory.
Independent Voters
“Women have always taken polities
for granted in Alaska.” said Mrs. Prov
today. “From time immemorial they
’ve had the ballot . and they have al
wa\ ' used it independently, too, with
out consulting their husbands.
“ Maska women are of the pioneer
type. They've worked shoulder to
shoulder with the men in developing
tl e country and conquering seemingly
l >.;'*moiint dde difficulties. Naturally
the n.en do not question their right to
ab-olute political equality.”
Several big problems, upon whose
solution hangs the future of our nor
thern-most territory, now occupy pub
lic attention in Alaska, says Mrs.
Troy.
Home Rule \dvocato
“While educationally we are equip
ped a- well as any other part of the
world." she explains, “we have many
grave handicaps in the road to civic
developments.
“At present our legislation is cen- j
trailed in Washington. P. C. Our mu-1
nicipulities are tied up completely.
They can’t issue bonds for public im
provement. They can’t contract bills
without guaranteeing payment the
same year, no matter how urgent the
public need.
“The city councils are allowed only
the most limited sums. As an example
of our legislative hoplessnoss, it is ;
necessary to pave the streets of .Tu- !
neau through private subscription.’
As a solution. Mrs. Troy advocate- I
“home rule” for Alaska, with the priv
ilege of managing its own affairs.
We are denied the rights that other
territories have enjoyed.** she explains
“because Washington is uninformed
of our real problems and questions.

** V\. pay to tin* national government
much more than is returned to us in
approp iations. Alaska wishes to pay
its own expenses and thereby got fair
retains for its vast revenues. To ef
foctively carry out the ‘home rule’
plan the southeastern part of the ter
ritory and the coast should be eligible
for statehood, seperately. This seper
ation would follow geological divisions
and encourage natural development.
Alaska’s great problem, according
to M's. T my. is the government’s an
tagonistic attitude to capital.
“Without great capital.” she de
clares. ‘‘there can be no real develop
ment in Alaska. Without tremendous
capital tin're is no use for the laboring
man.
Development Cosily
' U costs millions to develop the
giv it nuartz mines and to establish
the large canneries. Sometimes there
are no returns for several years. In
lu-tiially we have been benefited re
•n*itly by the oil and leasing bill,
whi' b opens up vast coal and oil lads.
“The forest reserve, too, has made
us seme concessions alter years of hit
ter fighting, in permitting the leasing
of t mher lands. But the five-year
term of lease is all too short to justi
fy the installation of pulp and paper
mills. Our timber lands are inexhaus
tible and would supply the world for
generations to come with its pulp
wood for new's print.’
Mrs. Troy maintains that the best
noss’ble thing that could happen to
\laska would be a congressional tour,
in older to make national legislators
realize its needs and peculiar condi
tions.
