 Ask for Consideration In submitting his report, Gov R;gr, asks consideration for Alaska h these words:
 Ut is my sincere hope that this ro port will be read by those members or Congress and departmental exec rt.vns before whom came the enact. nont and administration of laws m'- .ectiuc the Territory of Alaska.
 Ut is not generally recognized that, in proportior to population, Alaska furnishes more trade to the United States than any other part of the na. ton and equals the total trade O. my of the other Territories cve7 with their great population and vas. development.
 "I hay, yudcayorcd to obtain fig wcs regarding Federal taxation with ,rly partial success, but from what Iata have been able to procure, is would seem that had the nation paid axes last year in proportion to Alas ;a, the Federal Treasury would have been enriched by between five aud ,iN billions Of dollars.

As T consequence appropriations arg placed at such low figures as to pre- clude any effectiveness; the rich min ing regions are made unavailable for lack of transportation; tho fisheries are threatened with exhaustion rc" lack of transportation; tawness-css, particularly that fomented by pro-Gcr- man, I w. w. and Bolshevik c.r. mentS, is becoming a menace; ag happens nowhere else m the Unitcd States, the natives in time of epidc,o- ics are allowed to die either of dis ease or starvation: roads and rall-
