TWO MORE LOST AT SEA
Almost every clay some tragedy is reported from the
Southwestern Alaska area—to the West of the Port of
Seward—emphasizing a hundred-fold why Coast Guard
cutters should be stationed in these waters during the
winter months; much more so than in the good old sum
mer time when the sun is high in the heavens and few
storms rage upon the sea.
Recent Associated Press dispatches told of four men
having lost their boats and two of them their lives. A
fifth was forced to seek shelter from prevailing storms.
The Cordova Times, Juneau Empire and the Seward
Gateway have been appealing to official Washington for
years, as has also the Seward Chamber of Commerce, but
todate only promises have been made. In the meantime
the toll of lives mounts.

- enactment of a law whereby th

I nually pay to Alaska for the ben
-! of the common school fund, ;
sum equal to fifty (50) per cent o
the amount reecived from th
' share of the United States in th

i War and Navy Department of avia
| tions in Alaska.
; SEVENTH: Reduction of botl
j freight and passenger —' on th<

■, road.
j. EIGHTH: Tne fishing industry
! is the principal industry of Alaska
! As at present operated, the benpfi
i derived by Alaska from said indus
! try are not what it should be. Un
I der the common sense methods ir
j vogue in all country of the work
; relying on its fishing ind”^^ foi
' means of sustenance, Al*«ka shoulc
I have a number of up-to-date town*
j and communities which shoulc
benefit from the fishing business
Instead of that we have in vogue a
I system whereby Orientals co'~'> ir
' each fishing season and do our fish
i ing and canning and run away in
; the fall with the season’s output
i This is a matter that the Demo
j erats should take a define stand

i the hands of the Territorial Legis
lature.
NINTH: Look into the aclvisa
: bility of having the provisions of

Alaskan industries and should be
encouraged in every way possible.
ELEVENTH: Consolidation of all
Federal bureaus in Alaska into one
; integral unit under the jurisdiction
of the Secretary of the Interior,
: and thus avoid red tape and a dup
lication of expense.
TWELFTH: That suitable coal
bunkers should be built by the gov
j eminent at Seward or Anchorage
! and that all Federal bureaus in Al
; aska and along the Pacific Coast
be requested to purchase Alaska
t coal thus, creating traffic for the
i railroad and assisting the coal op
erators in the Matanuska and Healy
River fields.
THIRTEENTH: That an equit
able system of taxation for Alaska
be adopted, and with this end in
view, that the next Territorial Leg
islature appoint a commission to
look into this matter and appro
priate the necessary funds cover
ing the expenses of said commis
sion.

not workable and should be re
