ALASKA |S NUT \ PART UNITED
 STATES

William A. Gilmore, former mayor of Nome, and former Republican can didate for delegate to Congress, sug- gested in a speech at Seattle that the Seattle Chamber of Commerce take up the matter of inducing Con- gress to pass such legislation as would enable the Alaskans to adjust their affairs for themselves.
 eve are qualified to adjust these things" said Gilmore, but under the enabling act we are not allowed to legislate. The territorial government granted to us has a string to It. and every time we pass a law somebody at Washington gives the string a yank. Under the law we cannor even build a road or a school house with out first running down to Washing ton to get permission.
 "We should have a territorial law giving Alaskans the right 10 adjust their own local affairs. with the pro- vision that when we pass a law 1t shall become a law unless Congress sets it aside within a given period"
 Gilmore expressed the gravest doubt as to anybody present, or their children, living to see Alaska granted statehood.
 Did it ever occur to you that Alas ka is not a part of the United States?" he asked. "It is non-contigu- ous territory - an insular possession and Congress always will seriously object to granting statehood to any territory that lies beyond the seas"
