Alaska a SERIOUS paoelsm.

Governor Brady Says Change Of GOVERN
ment Is Needed. bur Not Territorial.
SEATTLE, Wash. Nov. 29.-In an in.
terview here, Governor John G. Brady
of lasEa sa d:
Tine business faen and officials of
Ala IA are concerned in effecting some
Change or amplification of the laws as
thew are now in force.
IT ey will combine tc submit to con-
gress proposition to authorize the app
pointment of a committee which will
consider the needs of Alaska on the
ground. Ny idea is that the commit
tee should consist of a senator, a repre-
sentative and three bona fide residents
of Alaska. If we are able to get COM
mlttee something may be accomplished
for the practical good of Alaska. 9th
erwise time devoted to Alaska will be
FILTERED away in the consideration or
individual bills of no benefit to the
country as whole.
"Many think Alaska should have d
territorial form Of government. The
objections TO this are manifold, chief
among them is the sparse population or
the country. A territory means taxa
ton and the people are not there to be
taxed 1t would be of little avail to
submit to congress resolutions for
change in t code now in existence.
Those things must be investigated by
a committee, which can ascertain che
needs Of the people by personal observa-
ton. We wantl any extension OF the
land laws, the status of the natives de-
elared, the regulation of the flsh IN
fustry, the right of appeal and laws
Tor che preservation of game.
''Ehe smuggling evils must also be
dealt with bv the committee. Last
year 2l.0v0 gallons of Canadian whisky
were smuggled into Alaska"
Governor Brady thinks that Alaska
will be as great an agricultural and
farming country some day as mining
one.
