To the Voters of the Second Division
Territory of Alaska
As an independent candidate for Territorial Senator from the above Division to l»e voted for November the 2nd
1920, I herewith submit the following platform for your consideration;
First,—If elected I shall introduce a bill for the repeal of the obnoxious law, compelling a citizen over sixty
years to pauperize himself before he can receive a pension of twelve dollars and a half per month, as I believe all
citizens over sixty years not blessed with worldly goods should have a pension of at least thirty dollars per month,
without being compelled to humiliate himself.
Second,—I will introduce a bill and work for same, making eight hours a legal day- work, with provi-ions for
Third,—If elected I shall vote to repeal the law pas-ed by Ihe last legislature taking the right of the voters
from them thereby making the Territorial Read Commissioner appointive in place of elective
Fourth,—I favor a law, for the enactment of an Initiative and Referendum which shall apply to all Territorial
offices in Alaska.
Fifth,— I -hall recommend and work toward securing Federal appropriations towards placing the Seward Pen
insula Railroad in proper condition, opening up the great mining districts of the Kohuk, Kougarok, Candle and Good
Hope thereby procuring an abundance of coal at a very low price which is the chief concern if this camp is going to
remain permanent. ^
Sixth,—I shall work toward securing a high power .-hallow draft boat foe duly in Bering Sea to be under the
oredrs of the Captain of the U S. Coast Guard at Nome. I shall al-o work to secure light houses along thi- coast
which is at present sadly neglected.
Seventh,—I shall work to have an assay office established at Nome.
Eihgth,—I shall if elected work for a larger appropriation for the old peoples home, giving the inmates all the
comforts in their declining days, holding the Governor of Alaska strictly responsible for the administration of same.
Ninth,—If elected I shall do all in my power to have the transportation Companies give better sevrice at re
duced rates both in passenger and freight .
Tenth,—I promise to introduce a bill placing a small tax on patented mining claims if not in conflict with Fed
eral law.
Eleventh,—I shall recommend to have Congress abridge the law of a-sessment work as it now stands in Alaska
compelling each one to perform one liundred dollars worth of labor on each claim and substitute a tax of ten dollars
on each claim in lieu of same, the said tax to go to the maintenance of schools and roads in the district in which it
Is collected.
Twelfth,—I shall vote to repeal the present school tax and substitute a more liberal one by placing the taxation
on persons better able to bear it.
Thirteenth.—If elected I shall work for the best interests of Alaska, and particularly the Second Division.
Respectfully submitted,
