Governor Riggs, in his Report for 1820, said:
“Laws should govern instead of revocable
regulations, blit where there must be regulations,
such regulations should be promulgated by au
thority located within the Territory and not 4,000
miles away. In the interest of good citizenship, to
promote self-reliance, and to strengthen the dc
s;re for public welfare, the greatest possible need
of self-government should be allowed to the
residents of the Territory.”
