 The Wickersham bll continues the Federal license tax law and gives tho development board full control over the Alaska fund which Is produced by Federal tax on the people o Alaska It gives the development hoard control over Alaska educational and 1any other

 What Alaska needs above all else is full Territorial form of government This should provided for first and the development board shod have conferred upon
 those functions that are purely Federal n their char ccter Not thing that should be left for the people of Alaska should be included in the enumeration of those powers that are given the development board.
