Governor Bone, in his report for 1922 said:
“Alaska, in the true spirit of Americanism, seeks ‘self government
and should be prepared for it at no distant date. Its ambition is
high; its aspirations worthy. Its citizenship would give strength to
the Union. It is a great State or two great States, slowly in the mak
ing.
Governor Riggs, in his Report for 1920, said:
“Laws should govern instead of revocable regulations, but where
there must be regulations, such regulations should be promulgated by
authority located within the Territory and not 4,000 miles away.
In the interest of good citizenship, to promote self-reliance, and to
strengthen the desire for public welfare, the greatest possible need of
self-government should be allowed to the residents of the Territory.”
