increasing taxes. It is possible, also, that the larger corporations prefer not to have any territorial legislature mak- ing laws for the domestic government of the territory. There are obvious reasons why this would be distastefuL
 'In th6ir various tours through Alaska many of the visiting statesmen became fully informed of the opposi- tion to territorial government; and doubtless they came away with en- larged ideas of the magnitude of this opposition. This is probably the req son that some of them do not think that Alaska is yet ripe for local self go- ernment. This opinion is erron- eous. Alaska is better qualified to sup port a full territorial government than was any other territory at the time of its organization. There are no difficult ties presented in Alaska which were not presented in an of the older terri tories at the time of their organization. That all of the people of Alaska are not at the moment in favor of a territorial government is aside from the question. The great majority of the people do favor it; and they are entitled to have it. The condition there is anomalous under a free government A larger population than that of some of the states in the Union is without the re- motest vestige of seli-governmenti and there can be no justification for such condition of affairs"
