COY. HoGGATT.s REAL VIEWS.

A fuller statement Of Coy. Hog gatt's recent utteraBces at Dawson. on the subject Of g change in Alaska's form of government credits him with saying territorial form of government may he wise form when the time comes to adopt i5; but alter carefully weighing the matter" he has reached the conclusion that the time has not yet arrived for the change. The majority Of people of Alaska take the contrary view.
 Cor. Hoggatt's statement that ''the newspaper campaign is designed to destroy my influence with the rational government, is unworthy Of him. Tn his own admission that the people of Alaska are earnestly supporting the campaign for local eif-goYern- ment. Ae may find an explanation of why newspapers friendly to Alaska are opposed to his views, for the newspapers believe, rot unreasonablg that the people of Alaska. including two delegates specifically instructed On the precise issue, are less apt to be wrong in this paticular matter than Gov. Hoggatt and the corporations
 When Coy. Hoggatt admits tha. the people of Alaska desire terri serial form of government. and urges At the same time that such form of government would not now be good for them, he says, in effect, that American citizens Of Alaska are not Intelligent enough to Enoyy their own needs. but must look 10 iism, or some other person of superior intelligence. for guidance and protection.

OHIO AT EXPOSITION.

OHIO AT EXPOSITION.
 The Ohio Society Of the State of Washington is planning to have the aid Buckeye state represented at the Alaska nkon-PaeiHc exposition in a manner which will appeal to the pride of every native ohioan, whether he be resident of the Northwest, or q visitor at the eNposi- tion.
 An Ohio building will be construct ed of such character that t will De one of the permanent buildings of the University of Washintgon 1t the close oi the exposition. ana will, dur ing the exposition, serve as l meeting place and bureau ol information for all native Ohioans. h connection with the undertaking a somewhat novel idea will be carried out under the direction of the Log Com mittee" of the Ohio Society. This comm ittee will secure the names and addresses of al former Ohioans resid- ing in Washington and Alaska. with their home town and county in Ohio. These names will be eataioged by tho Ohio counties. and sab-cataloged hy cities. towns and townships. The result cf this undertaking will be l.rown as "The Ohio Log. and will be on exhibition for the use of visitors at the exposition thus enabling any visitor 10 find the address Of any for mer resident Of Ohio with whom he was acquainted. The committee be- lieves that the log" will be one oi the most attractive features of the exposition for visiting ohioans and others who haze friends from Ohio in the Northwest. and that u will aid in carrying out the purpose of the exposition bg placing visitors in con- munita5ion with former friends Who have settled in the Northwest.
 Prior to tha opening of the exposi- tion, transcripts from the log ae- companied by "write-ups' on the exposition will be sent 10 Ohio news l papers with the idea that the publi- cation in local papers of the names
 and western addresses of former resi- dents Of the respective Ohio counties, will attract great attention to the eS- position and the Northwest.
 It is estimated that there are with l in the borders Of the State Of Wash ington alone, 6fsy thousand former Ohioans. The gathering oi the name.

CtluSl.
 The fact that the congress assumes the right and the power to levy a system of local taxation on the bus mess and industry of Alaska, which in any organized territory clothed with the taxing power would un- doubtedly be held unconstitutional, should of itself be sufficient to set the thinking caps of the so-called solid interests into active motion, and cause an anxious inquiry on the part of their owners as to what the future is likely to bring forth in the way of taXation-whether OF not they will be safer in the hands of a practically foreign legislative body with unlimit- ed powers of taxation so far as Alaska is concerned, or less likely to suffer at the hands of a local legisla- ture with limited taxing powers. If the congress can lay tax of three dollars head on their stamp mills,
 it can just as easily and legally make the amount ten. twenty, fifty OF a hundred dollars, and increase the tax
 on salmon correspondingly
 But that is not the only thing the l spokesmen fer the solid interests seem to have overlooked. It seem- ingly has not occurred to them that
 their extraordinary assertions regard ing the geneous treatment of Alaska by the federal government, may be accepted at its face value by congress, and that body coupling them with AIaska's boasted rapidly growing wealth and expanding trade and com merce, might put on it's own thinking cap and conclude that district of country admittedly so well able to take care of itself, should forthwith have the nursing bottle taken away from it, and be made to provide its own sustenance. These spokesmen l for the solid interests are, by their utterances, giving congress ample excuse for such action, if in ] NCCe'. 44ps -OOet dAiNt cNll4CIC1lb ASdSOlS i for determining that hereafter, no matter how generous the disposition 1 of the congress, there shall be a just and equitable system of taxation pro- yided for Alaska.

 The Miner sincerely hopes that the ill-advised spokesmen of the solid interests may not provoke some such action on the part of congress, but 1t is matter which it behoyes those interests to seriously consider. l. may not come, but it is the opinion of The Miner that through territorial reorganization lies the only sure way to it's certain avoidance,
