Alaska's U

in $91,213,049.
p. pula lion Is approximately 60.000. Hawaii's popu- ,
laiian is riven as -175.211. The estimated total art a of Hawaii is 1,550,
000 acres: Alaska’s two national forests alone contain more than 21,- !
GOO,000 acres.
Anyone can see in a few moments study of the above figures that
even in Alaska's primitive stage of progress and with a mere handful !
of senders, the Territory, with little effort, has far surpassed Hawaii j
as an economic asset to the United States. Yet the sums poured into
the islands through Federal sources are colossal in comparison to what !
has been expended in Alaska.
The Hawaiian tourist irade is referred to as its third largest in
dustry. The tourist- trade to Alaska has not begun to be developed.
Any citizen of America has the right to enter the Presidential race
without consent of either political party.
Wouldn't it be grand if some man was put forward as the candi- j
date of the people, not of the politicians?
Both parties will hold their conventions in Chicago. Is that because j
of the Windy City's reputation or in spite of it?
European sentiment for canceling war debts to Uncle Sam seems ■
to be as unanimous as kicking the bureaucrats out of Alaska.
