for, it is good to read today's dispatch from Washington
wherein a Senate sub-committee let it be known Alaska
and Hawaii enjoy lesser freedom in self-control than Por
to Rica and the Philippines.
The Alaskan, in its issue of January 25, again voices
its protest against the legalized buccaneering methods
in the proposed pulp projects, which companies, say rep
resentatives of the forestry department, will expend no
less than ten million dollars in erecting pulp mills and
developing water power.
The Gateway’s contention has always been that the
pioneers of this Territory should have shared in the
emolument from timber claims when it passed to larger
interests. That they should not stand aside while great
and powerful interests and the government wrest from
them their patrimony.
Alaska has no antagonism to the entrance of capital.
Rather the Territory is anxious to welcome capital with
open arms and extend to it every safeguard and a fail
deal thru its laws. Had Alaskan been permitted to adminis
ter its own resources capital of every description, large
and small, would have had an even break. It will get an
even break so far as Alaska is concerned, but is not
getting it from the federal government. Give the re
sources back to the people and we will soon have suffi
cient population and something taxable from which to
draw revenue to sustain Alaska’s offices.

every means of farm
relief
After reading today’s dispatch about permiting box
ing matches in Alaska an Oldtimer remarked that ought
to be help alot in building up the Territory.
We’re supposed to- h ave equality under law in this
country, but the farmers have been given the preference
in promises.
