(From Juneau Daily Umpire)
The suggestion has been made that Congress should amend the Al
aska Organic Act to provide truly for a reapportionment of the membership
of the Territorial House of Representatives, that is so ns to permit each or
the four Divisions to h;ive two Senators, as now. and have the representa
tion in the House of Representatives apportioned among the several Div
isions in proportion to their population.
That would not remedy things at all. There is no precedent for such
an arrangement in any State in the Union. The fact that the Co-ngress
..f the United States is composed of two Senators from each State and a
House of Representatives based on the. population of the several States
is not in any sense a precedent for similar procedure in Alaska. Th«»
theory of the Federal Government i» entirely different from that or a
State or Territory. The Federal Government under the Constitution is
in large measure a Union of States—that is where we get the name.
“United States.” The Senate, therefore, is the body in Congress which
represents the States. A State or Torrilouy is not a union ol geographi
cal or poritical divisions. It is an association of the people of the State
or Territory. It is a government of the people, not States. Therefore,
there is exactly the same principle behind each of the legislative bodies—
if we are to have two. Membership in State Senates is always appor
tioned on a population basis th«* same as with the House of Representa
tives. In the State of Washington, for instance, they have legislative
districts in which it takes four counties to elect a single Senator. In
New York States there are «2 counties and 51 members of the State Sen
ate. The five counties in Greater New York have 25 Senators. Rrie
County (Buffalo> lias three Senators and Monroe County (Rochester)
has two Senators. That leaves 31 Senators for the remaining 55 coun
in that State.
of the States for tin
Kan that we have no comity government* to levy and collect tax
expend the proceeds. In Alaska the entire Territory is treated
county, therefore the Legislature is not only a lawmaking power
serves as a Board of County Commissioners to levy taxes and expc
public moneys. Therefore, the members of the Legislature from
regions can, «jnd do, levy taxes *>n the producing sections of the To
and take the proceeds back home with them for expenditure
not self-government when a few people paying 7 per cent, of the
tonal taxes can levy taxes on those parts with many times their
lation and take the proceeds into distant places for expenditure.
Territorial Senate is left as it is now this situation would not be ren
Many prominent Alaskans are taking issue with Delegate Suther
land over his carrying the fish reserve controversy into court, believing
that Alaska will lose the friendship and aid of Secretary Hoover. While
the Gateway has received no other advices than those contained in the dis
patches, it appears to us from this long distance view that the question
is assuming too much magnitude for to small a matter. Alaska must go
to the States for its financial backing for mines and fisheries. If capital
refuses to step in and develop either one or the other, they would remain
undeveloped, as few' Alaskans could float these enterprises. On the
other hand. Alaskans get little from their vast resources. Their laws are
violated with impunity, and outside interests advance the theory that
these resources are not dwned by Alaskans but. by the people of the United
States at large, which may be true legally, but not morally.
Whether or not a lawsuit with the head of the fisheries department
will advance our interests at Washington, or injure them, remains to be
seen.—Seward Gateway.
A movement has been launched at Anchorage to have a tax placed
on foreign coal shipped to Alaska. At that, it might not be a bad' idea—
provided the transportation companies would give lilwira 1 freight rates on
coal shipped from Alaskan collieries that could be sold for what is was
worth instead of what can be obtained for It. At present too much
money is being paid for coal in Alaska and anything that, will make It
cheaper is a good move.—Strollers Weekly.
