FULL TERRITORIAL FORM or GOVERNMENT

Delegate wickersham again contended-that Is, h' contended in that vein for part of the time-los night that the Territorial form of government chat Al aska now has is not more limited than were the gov ernments of Territories of other days. He said. fur ther that those who are using the term full Terri toria form of government do not know what 1t means
 The Empire has called attention to the details o the difference between the government that Alaska now has and the "Iuu Territorial form of government that other Territories have had many times The difference is mostly in the specific limitations that are contained in the Alaska organic act.
 They include the specific decarations
 O 'That the authority herein granted to the Leg islature to alter amend modify and repeal laws in force in Alaska shall not extend to- the game, fish, and fur bearing seal laws and laws relating to furbeaTng ami mals."
 l2 Nor 10 the laws providing for taxes on business and trade. (The license taxl
 (s) Nor to An act to provide for the eonstruc. tion and maintenance of roads. the establishment and maintenance of schools and the and support of n- sane persons in the District of Alaska"
 tO Congress reserves the exclusive right for five years to levy taxes upon railways railway property
 (5) That spirituous malt liquors cannot be sold in the Territory except as Congress shall provide.
 ts) The Territory and 1t municipalities cannot bor- row money Nor can the Legislature levy tax in eS' cess of one per cent Territorial purposes nor in excess of two per cent. for municipal purposes.
 co That no bill creating county governments can become effective without its being ratified by Com gress.
 And others
 These limitations have notifications that run into so many of the ~rightful subjects of legislation that almost every one of them would provide the text for an article that would be much longer than the space that we have at our disposal at this time
 A memorial asking Congress to give Alaska full Territorial form of government means request for the elimination O. these restrictions and perhaps oth CTS. from the organic act Those who supper, this proposition believe that the people of Alaska are capa- be of governing themselves. and that they would not abuse powers granted them To intimate that they would abuse powers bestowed upon them is to argue that they are not fitted for Statehood.
 The members of the Legislature from the First and Third Division were elected on platforms asking for such measure of government as the elimination of these limitations would leave.
 The Empire believes that the House should pass the Willard memorial asking for full Territorial form of government
 With full Territorial form of government the law of the North the fight for Statehood could begin with all the forces Of the Territory behind it.
 There is absolutely not one single thing in sucn program as this that is inconsistent with the Legisa ures doing its best with other matters that before it or that may come before it.

CONSISTENCY

After declaring that he is in favor of full Terri toria form of government for Alaska" and then de- caring that we had it, with its county organizations it would create a burden upon the payers that would eat their hearts out" after alleging that we have "fun Territorial form of government" now. and then alleging that if the Territory and it's municipal- ties had the power authority borrow money for improvement purposes such as other Territories and their municipalities have had. would plunge our. selves into disastrous debt Delegate wickersham last night announced that he will introduce bill in Con gress for the creation of State government in Alaska and work for its passage
 Yet, if we had State government we would have the hearteating county governments or their equiya ents and the power to destroy ourselves by issuing bonds and borrowing money In addition to that. we would have to bear the expenses of the Courts the Governors salary and that Of his secretaries the salary of the Secretary of State and his assistants the per diem and mileage and contingent expenses Of the Leg slature the cost office quarters, and many other items that are borne by the Federal government in Terrtories, full and otherwise.
