Mass Meeting of Citizens Called by the Mo

 Walter, and other Speakers.

personal interests at the expense of public good.
 Then Mr. Price came to the point of ad- dltlonal expenses of a territory, which he explained away. He referred to this un- American and unconstitutional tax that takes something like saoo. 900 a year out of Alaska. of which Skagwav contributed s3s,ooo to s4o,ooo. lt was the only part of the United States that had 3.en so taxed. The United States had always act. cd as paternal government, helping out fnew countries and new communities. Why had Alaska been singled out for this form of taxationl
 He then quoted figures which he had collected at Sltka. recent returns of tax alton, fines and forteItures, marshal's fees and so on, and boldly asserted that terri> torial form of government would cost less than the amount we are now paving to the government in taxes. And. in conclusion, he said that as free American citizens we ought to ssy to congress: "Give US terri torlal government and give It to us quick" [" (AppIause)
 A s. Dautrlck said that since the time he had been selected for the negative mat ters had arisen which had changed hls mind. and for that reason he had no ma terIal for debate. Laughter. He said that the newspapers had told of Senator Perkins amendment to the Garter bill re- talnlng the capital a, Sltka, and that he and others had spen. day writing letters on the subject to members of congress of their acquaintance. Had Alaska a dele> gate in congress one telegram via Seattle would have done the business. There fore he was in favor of a terri torial form of government for the reason that we could not obtain any Isprssnta: agree with Mr. Price however, that the millennium would be reached when we had obtained territorial fcrm of govern ment. But fl we could have a delegate without a territorial form of government he did not see why we needed the latter.
 Rev. ]. ]. Walter said that when he left the Juneau convention during its sitting he thought t would decide on a territorial form of government, and one of the most vicious suggestions to place before the peo- gle was that we should b. satisfied with an appointed delegate, and that the dele gate should be the governor.
 Col.Leddy, by request took the negative side and made a most able speech, partieu- larly advising everybody to keep out of politics.
 Mr. Shorthlll was satisfied with the present condition of things. and was op- posed to territory on the ground that we had not sufficiently stable population.
 Mr. Grimes made a lot of seasonable jokes but speaking seriously said there would be no doubt of our having a sufi- clently stable population by the time the next congress met to demand a territorial form of government.
 Mir. Price then replied at length to all questions that had been raised. and the meeting closed with the vote as above stated.

n1l.Na portance. It had been made so by the re- cent activity or inactivity of congress in matters pertaining to Alaskan legislation
 He did not wish lt to be inferred that we were not going to get some legislation; he believed the Carter bill would become a jaw in less than thirty days. But even should we get this, under the conditions we now live was lt not wise to take an other step forward and develop ourselves Into a territorial organization' He did not believe It would be practicable to have territorial organization for the whole of the district, as the settlements were too remote, but for southern Alaska, the boundaries Of which have already been stated.
 He then sketehed the history Of Alaska since It's transfer, history, he said, no American could look back upon with pride, and how, for the betterment of conditions, the Juneau convention was called, which did great good. But there were reasons why Alaska conditions were no oetIer' The Alaska people were to blame for not making stronger efforts. They had been too qulet, too submissive. Here was Ha- wall with only two thousand Americans, but thev reIsed howl and obtained full territorial authority.
 The congress of the United States had upon its shoulders all the business affairs of great country, and this should be q reason for not asking lt to legIslate In our small and local affairs.
 There was another reason why w' should be a territory. Here were over forty thousand white people living and carving on business absolutely without representation, and congress was four thou sand miles away and had no means oi know ing what our conditions were, anC therefore had to leglslate for us In tho dark. except for the help that was wors' than unhelpful. the twenty representative: of Alaska In the lobby who were there fol

AHERE have been many debates

~HERE have been many debates at the Y. N. C. A. during the past V winter, but the one held there last night. called bv the Skagwav Mckinley Club, was the first serious political cues tIon to be debated in the cltw One or two of the members of the debating society seemed to treat lt as they have any other subject, merely sparing for points, but the audience was unusually large and It was easy to see that the question whether Southern Alaska should be territory seemed to them worthy of serious eonsld- erstlOn. And afterthe arguments the vote was not on the merits of the debate, but on the merits of the question. and there was large majority In the affirmative.
 Mr. Price, as president of the Mckinley club. called the meeting to order. but as he was to lead the debate In the affirmative, he appointed Dr. Hall, chairman of the ex- ecutlve committee, to take the chair.
 On motion, Mr. cOyney was elected sec retary and Capt. Sperv, Mr. Kern and Mr. Sherpy judges of the debate.
 Mr. Price opened by saving that this de- bate, as he took 1t, was not a matter of pride on either side as to taking points, but was one of a mutual exchange of Ideas upon a question confronting the Alaska people today and of more immediate i'm portanee than any other question. The question of a territorial form of govern ment was one that had been considered re- motely ever since he had been a resident, but only during the past few months had
