FEAR IS GRoUNDLEss.


 Many oi the opponents of territorial form of government assume that the only purpose of those who are advocating the proposition Is to get into a public treasury, They constantly harp upon the scare i' would give capital and seem to entirely forge, that the legislature will be chosen from among the people who are most anx- ious Co promote the development Of Alaska. It has vet Go Se pointed out that the tsri- torlal governments that preceded the state organizations in ali the great common wsalths q. on the Aleghenles to the Pa eihc retarded the development of the eoun- try which has made the American Union the greatest Of the worlds nations. The Daily Alaskan holds that the present pop ula,ion Of Alaska Is not less patriotic or Intelligent or honorable thln that which preceded statehood on the frontier of other dlvS Referring to this phase Q: the dis eusslOn the always able and logical Ret chikan Journal sivs:
 Some Of the opponents Ot territorial organization affect the fear that even the agitation Of the question will operate ,o deter capital from investing in the devel opment Of our mineral resources. The fear is sroundlsss. Capital will continue to seek lnyestmen, where the most profit able returns are reas nlblv certain, nd has never ys, been deteUed from going into any state or territory because of being afraid Of the taxation which the people are wont to impose upon themselves fer the public good. Besides, a territorial lea islature will be much more likely to enlci su.h legislation as will encourage settle msnt and development Of the country and the consequent investment of capit'l in. mining, than to io ,ha, which will hinder Tnd rstsrd lis growth by unfair iisormir- alton against capital And ye, asiie, it Is yery doubtful if capital th.t refuses or Is lol,h Co bear i,s fair and just prop rii0n Of the burdens of government, whether gen. sral or locll. Is at all desirable Co my coun try."
