Natives are taking advantage of
the heavy run of tom cod in Snake

To The Voters Of The Second Division
, Being a Candidate for SENATOR ( Long Term) from the Second Division of Alaska, at the general
] election on November 7th 1022, it is proper that 1 should state my qualifications for sorb office, and my views
* npon legislative matters affecting the people of the Territory.
1 was educated in the High Schools of Parson, Kansas, and in the University of Oregon, having graduated
1 from the Law Department of such university in 1890, and was in 1000, upon examination by the Supreme
1 Court of Oregon, athnitted to practice law in the courts of that state.
Arriving in Nome in June 1900, 1 immediately opened a law office, and have ever' since, continuously
resided in such place and been engaged in the practice of law.
The following is a brief statement of my-views upon some of the important matters of legislation.
THE EIGHT HOUR LA W.—The Legislature of Alaska, in. 1015, passed an Act to suhmit to
the people of the Territory, by referendum vote, the question of “A general eight hour day for all wage
earners and salary earners.”
At the general election following in 1917, the people of the Territory voted overwhelmingly for the
measure, and that vote should Ik- controlling to any one who is honest in his pretensions of belief in a .|cmn
erotic form of government. There should be no room for Pussy-footing” on this question.
THE ROAD LA \V.—The present road law which places the expenditure of money appropriated by
the Territory for the building and maintenance of roads, into the hands of federal officers over whom the
people of the Territory have no control. Is so opposed to reason and experience, that it should be modified or
TRAILS AND SHELTER C A l* 1 N S.—Properly staked trails and shelter cabins are of such
vital importance to those who liave occasion to travel during the winter season, that substantial appropria
tions should (h-! made for staking trails and building cabins at convenient places along the trails. 1 was
directly responsible for the doubling of the previous appropriations for this purpose, in the last Legislature.
TRAN SPORTATIO N.—One of the greatest needs of the people of the Territory, is relief from the
outrageous and ever Increasing cost of transportation to Alaska. It is a delusion to expect steamship monop
olies, actuated by the principal of profit, to voluntarily reduce transportation rates, but with the great fleet
of Government owned commerce ships lying idle, intelligent action should bring relief.
WIRELESS T E L E G R A P H.—The need of communication throughout the Second Division is
so great, that such Territorial aid should be given as would insure the installing of wireless stations at all
centers of population not now having adequate means of communication.
P R O B A T E LA W.—With twenty-two yearn experience in the Probate Court a of Alaska, 1 have
bad burned into my confidence the {treat need of a revision of our laws relating to the administration of the
estates of d«*ceased persons. Our present law is one adopted in 1000, and was taken from the laws of Ore
gon as enacted by the Legislature of that State in 1873. Oregon has since repeatedly amended her Probate
law, and today has a model probate code. With the very able assistance of Judge T. M. Reed, I prepared
a complete probate code, and introduced it in the last legislature, and it was unanimously passed by the
House. Unfortunately, however, this greatly needed legislation, was smothered in Committee in the Senate.
This measure provided for the summary administration of all estates of not over 8800.00 in value, and
at a cost of four or five dollars.
Under existing law the greater portion of estates of $800.00 value are eaten up in Probate costs and
other necessary fees and charges.
This law further provided for the disposition of property by Will without the intervention of Probate.
Under such provisions, a person may provide in his Will for the disposition of his property by an executor
named, without probate, and the executor, upon the death of the testator, proceeds and administers the
estate according to the Will, without costs or interference of Courts of Probate, except the mere proving of
the Will.
With my experience with our present law. and a careful study of the laws of the progressive Western
States, I feel that I am well qualified to present a probate law adequate to the needs of our Territory.
THE FUR TAX LA W.—While all must appreciate that the fur industry is very large, andj
should pay its just proportion of the expense for the maintenance of the Territory, yet the present fur law is
an unjust and discriminative burden, and should be repealed, and in its place an ad valorem tax levied upon i
export furs. This would make the burden equal, and simplify and reduce the cost of collection.
The present law was obnoxious to me, and I voted against its passage.
TERRITORIAL OFFICER S.—The power given to the Governor of Alaska, by the Territor
ial Legislature, to appoint a mining inspector, superintendent of schools, and other important Territorial offic
ers, is undemocratic and a usurpation of the high prerogative of the people. Important Territorial officers
should be elective, and especially is this*true in view of the fact that the Governor is in no way answerable
to the people of the Territory for his acts.*
In the last Legislature a bill was prepared and introduced by myself in the House, which provided for the
election by a direct vote of the people, of all of the Territorial appointive officers. This measure passed
the House, but failed of passage in the Senate.
In conclusion, I wish to make it clear that in seek ipg the suffrage of the voters of this division for the
office to which I aspire, I appreciate fully that a legislator should be in fact, aa well as in theory, a servant
of the people, and that he is selected to carry out the wishes of the majority, and to this end the people should
feel free to, and It Is their duty, to make known their desires to the persons whom they select for these im
portant offices.
With these considerations, and believing that I can be of service to the people of the Territory In the
office which I seek, I earnestly solicit the votes of the men and women of the Second Division, at the election
to be held November 7th, 1018.
