IMPRESSIONS OF GOV. DONE
AND DAN Sl'THERLAND
Mrs. D. B. Street writes a letter
from Washington. D. C.. to W. F.
Baldwin, in which she makes the
following statements:
A lady who spent the entire
Summer in Alaska and learned to
love It has spent her life in Wash
ing and so is much interested in all
that is considered in Congress for
the betterment of the people of Al
aska. From a recent letter we
learn that Gov. Scott Bone was a
resident of Washington for a num
ber of years and'is held in the high
est esteem by the people, that as a
Christian gentleman he will con
scientiously administer his office.
She attended a committee meet
ing at the Capitol while We was In
Washington and was delighted with
the vision he had (or lettering con
ditions in Alaska r.nd she thinks
there is no donbC but his dream will
come tru'j—Truly a new day is dawn
in* for Alaska. While she is not
very well acquainted with the Dele
gate from Alaska to Congress she
has watched him with special inter
est and thinks Alaska has reason to
be satisfied with her choice, for Dan
Sutherland in a dignified and force
ful way stands for all that jneans
the bettepnent of Alaska.
She further learns that he is mak
ing a fine impression of the North
land among the Congressional peo
ple many of whom are her special
friends.
REPUBLICAN PLATFORM
SECOND DIVISION.
We commend the present National Administration for the wisdom
which has guided it during a most difficult period of redbnstruction caused
by the great World War. and we especially commend the actions of our
Chief Executive, Warren U. Harding, for the able manner in which he has
disposed of all questions of international Importance, also for the active
interest he has taken in Alaskan affairs.
We believe that more extensive powers should be granted the leg
islative and Executive Departments of the Territory conforming as nearly
as possible to Home Rule.
We believe that the Government should maintain a more adequate
mall service along our coast, more particularly from St. Michael’s to
Kotzebue, and we advocate better and more adequate transportation,
either by government operation, subsidy or otherwise.
W'e advocate radio stations at ull important towns in Alaska.
We advocate that more lights, buoys, etc., be placed along the coast
for the protection of life and property.
The present employers liability law, being unfair to the workman,
should cither lx* repealed entirely or so amended as to grant more liberal
compensation for injuries.
W’e believe that a determinate, effort should be made to secure an
adequate appropriation for the extension of the Nome breakwater.
We believe that the present Primary Law should be so amended aa
to encourage party loyalty, as well as to discourage corruption. We also
deem that the time for holding the primary election should be advanced
to a much later date.
We hcliflfp tHut d Probate Code should l»| enacted not
permit estates of descendants to be absorbed by the courts or oythe admin
istration thereof and which secures to the surviving relatives or legatees
the distribution thereof at a minimum of expense.
We believe that strict economy, consistent with good government,
must be practiced, to the end that taxes may be reduced to the minimum
and that the revenues derived from the seul fisheries be diverted to the
Territorial Treasury.
We believe that the statute in regard to fur sales should be amend
ed so as to prevent monopoly and to facilitate the dealing in furs.
We favor larger appropriations for roads and^tralls, also for shelter
cabins, especially in the outlying districts.
We appreciate the necessity of bringing to the attention of th»
Government the importance of trade relations with Siberia.
We advocate a strict banking law providing to depositors the most,
ample protection.
We advocate the appropriation of adequate funds to meet all the
necessary expense to maintain the schools in the outlying districts daring
the school year.
We hereby pledge oar candidates to support the measures recom
mended above.
