IS. That the Increased production
OF gold and silver is important as the
material basis for supporting the tot.
tering credit of the world when peace
shall have been declared, and the gold
and silver of Alaska should help re-
build the ruined homes of France and
Belgium, and the mining of the pre-.
cious metals in Alaska should receive
every encouragement.
~. That the climatic and economic
conditions in Alaska demand, and the
record of the past ten years has
proved, that the material prosperity
OF Alaska and her people requires that
all of the liberal and beneficial Iegis-
lation by reason of which the great
states of the middle West and of the
Pacific coast have been transformed
from a wilderness must be extended
to Alaska and made still more liberal
and beneficial, and that special restric-
tons, embargoes, reservations, exemp-
tons, Withdrawals and handicaps of all
kinds must be withdrawn
"S- That we approve and commend
the courageous words of the governor
of Alaska in his annual report for
1916 to the secretary of the interior,
in which he says;
"'Yet Alaska still labors under a
system of restricted government that
should not be permitted by a nation
that calls itself progressive, and which
undoubtedly is concerned in the well
fare and happiness of all its people.
80 That copy Of these resolutions
be sent to the President of the United
States, the secretary of the interior,
the delegate from Alaska in congress,
the governor of the territory, and to
each of the sixteen igloos of the Pho
neers of Alaska, representing 1000
pioneers in the territory, and that a
copy be given the press for publication .

MORE LIBERAL
LAWS WANTED
FOR alaska

Enactment by congress of laws tc
unlock the treasure house of Alaska
her coal, oil, timber, copper, gold, sill
yer and platinum-is urged in resolu
lions adopted at the regular weekly
meeting of the Anchorage Igloo of Pho
neers of Alaska. In the opinion OF
the Pioneers, legislation to encourage
the development of the Northland
should be even more liberal, rather
than more restrictive, than the enact
ments that mean so much to the early
settlement of the great middle western
states, and that still and assist in
their progress.
The Pioneers indorse the expression
of Governor ]. f. A. Strong, to the
effect that alaska labors under sys
TEN of restricted government that
should not be permitted by nation
that calls itself progressive" They
ask that special restrictions, embar
goes, reservations. exemptions, with
drawals and handicaps of all kinds be
withdrawn.
The text of the resolutions follows;
Whereas, Our beloved country is
engaged in Titanic conflict for the
preservation of the elemental rights of
humanity against a ruthless, barbaric
and inhuman foe; and
Whereas, The inalienable rights of
people, the sovereignty of nations, the
progress of civilization and the peace
of the world depend upon the victori.

Whereas, Alaska is political, eco
nomic and nationally integral part OF
the United States of America, having
the same interests, sympathies and
aims as the several states of the
Union, and will bear her part of the
burdens and sacrifice entailed by this
war; and
Whereas, Alaska possesses among
her resources lying dormant and un.

of coal, OIL, meats, wood and other
materials vital to the prosecution Of

gress of the United States are invited
to take cognizance of the existence in
Alaska of vast areas of coal and oil
deposits of the very hignest quality
lying upon and contiguous to the coast
and easily ACCESSIBLE from well-known

"2. That the congress of the United
States is asked to pass Immediately
such adequate, beneficial and remedial
legislation as will unlock the great res
ervoirs of cheap fuel-the coal and
oil--from the profound sleep of the
ages and make them available to re-
lieve the fuel famine in the United
States, and to release fuel shipment
from our Atlantic seaboard to our al
lies.
"3. That private enterprise be given
sufficient encouragement to cause the
immediate opening and development
of the mines and coal and wells of oil
and the production of coal and oil for
export from Alaska to the states OF
the Pacific coast, in competition with
domestic or imported products, or that
the government undertake the produc
ton and transportation of these prod
ucts itself; provided that private en-
terprise should be so regulated as to
prevent monopoly and extortion.
a. That the government give rea-
sonable assistance and needful encour-
agement to the privately-owned rail-
roads now ready to be extended and
already in process of construction,
which will move these products to the
sea coast, when these roads are COM
pleted, and that the government rail-
road from the ocean terminals of Sew
ard and Anchorage be pushed to COM
pletion as rapidly as possible as a mill
tary and economic necessity.
80. That special encouragement be
given to the mining of the vast depos-
its OF copper ore in Alaska, and the
production of the baser metals, gener-
ally, not only as a military necessity,
but as a means of helping our allies
in the reconstruction Of the devastated
areas OF the war when peace comes;

tablishment OF reasonable charges for

or corporations over lines already In

Saving sugar here means sugar over there. and ships to carry it, from here to there.
 You probably have heard that there is no shortage of sugar, and that the raw sugar output is as big as, if not bigger than ever, and someone has told you that there is no need of say ing sugar. This is the most insidious sort of German propaganda because it is partly true and partly false.
 The shortage in sugar in this coun- try is not due to any shortage in the sugar crop, but to a shortage of ships.
 Sovcnty.nvo per cent of the sugar used in this country has to be carried her" in ships. These same ships are needed To transport our troops. our munitions. and the food for the allies and our soldiers and sailors, to Flu rope. Part of these sugar-carrying ships have been transferred to more important carrier service This has resulted in q largely lessened import tonnage of sugar and this means a shortage of sugar here.
 Our soldiers and sailors and the allies must be supplied with sugar. That supply must come out of our limited supply here
 No laws have been asked to compel the individual to apportion his supply of sugar in q sensible. logical and un selfish manner
 The Food Administration merely re quests you to save.

the actual value of the business so
that the capitalization of the new com

The impression prevails in some quar-

the agencies for those companies. 1t
is true that such holdings and such
agencies are important but there are
other large and important assets. There
is much realty which belongs to the
company and the mercantile end, has
been enormous. Indeed, there are those
who say that the company which is to
be formed could abandon the sugar

develop a successful and prosperous
