SEW MID. ALASKA. FRIDAY. MAY 21. 1915.
Just at present the people of the first division are threatening seriously
to break away from the remainder of Masks, if they can. The newspapers,
at least, are holding that Ihtmovies sword over the heads of the unfortunate
wretches of the Second. Third and fourth divisions and we had better he
careful to nourish the slender thread that prolongs our life. The whole
trouble, or the greater part of it. seems to come from the horrible decision of
the legislature to t.i\ the fishing interests more than other industries. The
members of the legislature from the three “secondary*’ divisions had the tem
erity to support the proposal to place most of the taxation on the shoulders
of those who make money out of Alaska without developing Alaska, who
spend tlie motley made in Maska outside, who have constantly to be watched
to prevent them from destroying the fisheries of Alaska, and who are not
Alaskans in the real sense of the word.
Vn extraordinary inconsistency is manifested in this proposal in some
Quarters. One paper, for instance, which has been blue in the face recently
in its strenuous advocacy «»t the statehood tor Alaska idea now comes out
savagely in favor of the principle of dividing the territory. This paper pays
the Third division the compliment of suggesting that the I bird and first be
come one territory, and the Second and fourth the other, but the Ihird divi
sion. anyhow, will have to be asked and, what is more, would reQuire an aw
ful lot of coaxing before even considering the idea of being separated from
the big people of the interior and Seward peninsula. It is to he admitted that
the 1 ir-t division is rather isolated from the rest of the territory and it may
happen that Juneau "ill some day Ik* the capital of a territory or even a
*ta!e whose boundaries will not reach beyond the border of what is now the
f irst division, hut Seward would stem to be then a good location for a capi
tal of the remainder of the territory. 1 ho loss of Juneau and the whole of j
that division would hi regrettable in a sentimental sense but as this part of |
Alaska dev elopes there may he virtue m the proposal to cut it out, after all.
as the people of the remainder of Alaska can hardly continue to agree to
travelling hundreds and thousands of miles out of their way to reach the
capital. ^
