MY PERSONAL PLATFORM
I am against PRIVILEGE.
I am not a Socialist or a Communist.
But I am against the evils of our selfish age.
I am against the FISH TRAP. It is a privi
lege.
Like Washington and Oregon, I would allow
only those to fish who had lived in Alaska at least
twelve consecutive months.
It is now unlawful to fish for, take or kill”
fish on Sunday. I would inquire of the present At
torney General, why he has made no effort to en
force this law so important to seiners.

I SHALL NOT cooperate with Henry O Malley
or with his Bureau of Fisheries because O’Malley
has been and is the symbol of discrimination, un
fair regulations, economic slavery and oppres
sion.
Congress by law PERMITS the export of logs,
but the Forest Department by regulations PRO
HIBITS it. The effect is NOT to encourage indus
try, but to force loggers to sell to the mills AT
THE MILLS OWN PRICE.
If the Forest Department had obeyed the law,
I could have paid out FIVE HUNDRED THOU
SAND DOLLARS in Ketchikan alone last winter
as I had orders for logs, which orders contemplat
ed “export squares” amounting to 15 million feet
of manufactured wood.
I favor giving PULP MILLS every eneourage
}« ment providing they establish their mills IN OR W
{♦ Jjj NEAR the cities of Alaska, but I am opposed to |L
}• ^8 COMPANY TOWN and CHEAP FOREIGN LABOR. |f
£ vg I favor a WORKMEN’S COMPENSATION ACT
| ^ like that of California; Women’s Community Pro- ||>
| ^9 perty Act like that of Washington’s; a residential g£
I ^ federal judge for Ketchikan, and other progress- pf;
£ *9 ive measures, but above all,
| I BELIEVE IN HOME RULE WITHOUT LIM- |?
£ ITATION.
