HOME RULE IFuRs saAsKA

Home rule for Alaska, even in as incomplet
form as provided in the bill that passed the
senate yesterday, is a great step forward for the
big Northern territory.
Alaska has suffered immeasurably through
the exploitation of outside interests and out
side influences. Alaska has suffered not only
from exploitation, but from powerful interests
which held back domestic development The
Controller Bay scandal, while proved to be
mostly wind and vivid political Imagination,
could be duplicated in three or four places else
where in the North. Unable to enact local leg
islation, the territory has seen its growth ar
rested and its Industrial blossoming blighted by
both private and public influences Under Sec
rotary of the Interior Richard A. Ballinger
comparatively nothing was done to allow the
Alaskans to develop their rich timber and coal
resources, and the cry of the northerners for
years has been that they may work out their
own salvation
The one-house legislature proposed under the
bill that has now passed both branches of Con-
PRESS will not, it is true give authority the
disposal Of the territorys natural resources, and
its railroad development will STILL be under
washington control, but for the first time the

PAYING FACTS


simmered down to the essential points, the
paving controversy seems to revolve on whether
or not the community wishes to force the Rapid
Transit company to accept bitnlithic for paving
between double tracks. Other issues are brought
up, but the present fight hinges on this. .
The engineer and the supervisors take the
position that il lava blocks are laid between the
tracks, just that much of the street will be I'M
used by traffic, for the teams will be turned on
the smoother bitulithic 10 secure larger sur
face Of this bitulithic, the supervisors would
have the transit company lay this form of paw,
ing between ats tracks
The Rapid FranAt ebnpany declares itself
unchangeabIy opposed to accepting paving
controlled BY patent To agree to this, says the
company, would place it at the mercy of mo-
nopoly. f.s8
The essential points in. this important mat
ter shoyld not be forgoHenlt matter how high
runs the tide of bitterness.
