At a meeting of the Ketchikan Rep
ublican Club last week,a platform was
adopted which is republished, in part;
only, from the Chronicle.
Two significant features are noted i
i
in the document: a total absence of
commendation of the Coolidge Ad
ministration and a demand for tax
ing of the paper and pulp industry as
yet non-existent in the Territory. j
Another feature was an attack on i
the Federal judiciary in Alaska which,
concluded by demanding impeachment
if resignations were not forthcoming
Following the lead set by the Dem
ocrats there and the Territorial Con
vention, held recently in Seward, the
Ketchikan Republicans by inference
denounced the White Fisheries Law
and demanded Territorial control of
fisheries “at the earliest possible
moment”
Its plank includes self governn^nt
including a county government law,
and statehood at the earliest possible
moment, pledging support of the comp
troller bill; a declaration of inten
tion to tax the government timber
contracts awarded to prospective pulp
and paper manufacturing interests;
denounced the “discriminatory sec
tion” of the Merchant Marine Act of
1921; approved the extension of
roads and trails to mining areas and
demanding expenditure of funds on
such projects through elective com
missioners; encouragement to fur
farming; advocated repeal of restric
tions on shipments of trophies by res
ident Alaskans; abolishment of the
Alaska Game Commission; deplored
abuses “which have been practiced
by the Alaska judiciary,” calling on
“such judges” to resign, and, if they
refuse to do so, that impeachment
proceedings be instituted against
them and carried to termination”; de
nounced “carpet-bagging” government
endorsed a community property law;
advocated / discriminatory taxation
