TO TdE VOTERS

pSJ'Et- the leglSlaLuTe, l 'qlq not SC to the senate to make excuses, but TO MAKR GOOD, and l main tain l did make good, and worked tn tue interest of the people, while there.
 Having been questioned by mSany, regarding my attitude on the diff Gerent questions of Sntehest to the people of the Territory, I taka this method of defining my position tn regard to same.
 \ Community Property Law should be enacted, giving to wO- men the same right to hold Com- InunitN Property, now aocordea the husband.
 I introduced such a Bill at the last session Of the LegislatuIe; 1t passed the Senate by mlani- mOua vote, was kiIIed in the House. wirh but one member from the FiI st Division voting for it,-Nir. Held. My opponent, Mir. Hickman, not voting, but voting on eEerT Other { hill upor which 8 vote was taken that day.
 Judge Brown in his lecture to the women Co, Seward stated that every wolnpn should see that her hus- hand made Q will, as the pretsent law was not just, this lecture was given after my Community Bill had been defeated in the House. I believe th9 Territory should erect an insane asylum for the care of our insane, asking the, Federal eovelEmenr to allow the TorrEory the same amount for their caPe now paid to the MoIningSide SanE- tarium, aud in addition, the cost Of transportation.
 1 That the mOGeys derived from the sale of timber from the For est Reservations should be eNpqnd- ed in the Division where the forest is located.
 I introduced at the First session q Bill by which all proprty HOW cscht ats to the Territory, where before it went to the Unibed States I also introduced a bill compelling tEe hotels to provide fir9 escapes also a Memorial, asking for the abolition of factOIies using food fish for fertilizer, q Memorial fOl' Postal SaYi ingS Banks, which we now have. l Memorial ,nsking for the same rates to apply in Alaska that apply in other Territories and States, le- garding parcel post.
 A Memorial for al britlge, which we TOW have, Q Memorial for a Wagon Road, of which between foIE RnG five miles is now constCuctetE and Colonel Richardson assured me, last wceS1 in Juneau, that he would build it to White Pass City next year.
 l do not agree with the Alaska Packers Representative, Mr. HeEk- man, that PRIVATE CANNERIES SHOULD BUILD HATCHERIES.
 The people of tho Territory have seen the effect of private hatch- eris. The rebates paid by the Federal government to Mir. Heck map and the Alaska Packers, is an outrage. And am convinced tLat very little if any good to the conservation of the fish results. In tae vicinity of Ketchikan not to eEceed one thIfd of a pack has been securd this seRsOn. This my op- pouent will not deny. CAN THE PEOPLE AFFORD TO SEND TO THE LEGISLATURE, MIR. HECK MAN, THE AGENT OF THE AL ASKA PACKERS, AND WHO RE- GENES, AS l AM TOLD, FIVE HUNDRED ROYALTY UPON EV- ERY FLOATING TRAP IN ALAS KA.
 As a partner of Mr. Heck mans said in the Hotel at KetchiV kan, THE PACKERS SHOULD NOT PAY A DOLLAR OF TAX TO THE TERRITORY, THAT THEY SHOULD BE SENT TO THE LEG IsLATURE TO MAKE THE LAWS. THEY WOULD ENACT A LAW SIMILAR TO THE INFAMOUS AL EXANDER BILL, THAT SEEKS TO GIVE TO THE INTERESTS AL THE SHORE LINE OF ALASKA, THUS DEPRIVING THE RESIDENT FISHERMEN OF EARNING 4 LIVE LIHOOD AT HIS VOCATION.
 I am in favor of a small debts court similar to the British Col- umbia law, by which small debts may be ColIefted at a less expense.
 believe that the people of the
