combine to submit to congress q prop0si-

consist of a senator, a representative and
three bona fde residents of Alaska. If
we are able to get a committee some.

Many think Alaska should have ter

them being the sparse population of the

and the people are not there to be taxed
1t would be of little avail to submit to
congress resolutions for change in the
code now in existence. These things
must be investigated by committee
which can ascertain the needs of the peo-
pie by personal observation. We want
an extension of the land laws, the status
of the natives declared, the regulations
of the fish industry, the right Of appeal
and laws for the preservation of game.
