oration of governmental abuses long
since become intolerable to civilized
white men. The adherents of this con
cept an few ; they realize that at best
statehood is but a possibility of tin*
remote future; but hope that its ad
vocacy may meanwhile influence the
American Congress to redress the
more grievous and destructive evils.
Alaska has borne the burden of
American political dominutio t tor a
half century and more, with the net
result that today it is governmentally
a hopeless wreck, and, despite the
heroic sacrifices and unremitting toil
ol it.^ people, is fast becoming an in
dustrial barren under the blight of
bureaucratic government. ith any
fair or equitable or intelligent system

teriod of fifty years and more, Alas
ka would rank today in population
uid wealth with its corresponding
neighbors of northern Kurope. In
stead, it is slowly reverting to the
;tatu> of a pi imeval wilderness.
In view of this shameful record
of maladministration, and the corre
lated circumstance that each succeed
ing year has witnessed the creation oi
fresh abuses, burdens and restrictions,
together with added inefficiency in
governmental service, it is diificult to
hope, and impossible lor a candid,
mind to belie\e. that relief will com**
while Alaska remains a dependency of
the United States under its present
jurisdictional status.
All things considered, statehood for
Alaska within the time of men now
living may be dismissed as a dream,
a fantasy, a thing absurd. Statehood
in the remote future is solely in the
lap of the gods; but even were it cer
tainly attainable, it might well tax
the wisest statesmanship to determine
if it would be advantageous either to
Alaska or the United States under any
conditions imaginable. The great Re
public is amply large geographically,
and its territorial unity is a source ol
both strength and pride to its people.
