 opposed by the appointive Federal Governor and Secretary, by every >ther appointive Territorial Bureau official, and all their employees, by the newspapers in Alaska, who con- sistently support the non-public foreign corporations engaged in ex- plotting Alaskan people and re- sources, by the aggregation of for eign cannerymen and other lobby- ists who f1ocked to Juneau from San Francisco, Portland and Seat tie; swollen with plethoric purses and insiduous, secret and power full arguments against a Free Terri torial Government in this Territory. All these Tory influences immedi- ately surrounded the weak mem bers of the legislature, those who could be controlled by promises of jobs and subsidies, and by other influences less honorable, and, with the appointive Federal officials as leaders, opposed the passage of the bill.

THE VOTE AGAINST SELF
 GOVERNMENT

The Federal Bureaus, the cannery lobbyists and others who wish to prevent the passage of any bill through the Alaska legislature for the better government of the Ter ritory always begin their corrupt ing work with the Territorial Sen ate, for it consists of only eight members. If these corroding in- fuences can secure control of four Senators they can thereby prevent the passage of any Act by the legis- lature, for it requires the affirma- tive votes of five Senators to pass any bill through that body. The control of four of these Senators, therefore, prevent the passage of any bill, even though the House members be unanimously in favor of it. Whenever the people of Alaska see four Senators standing solidly in favor of big interest le- gislation, or against the passage of laws in favor of self government in the Territory of Alaska, they may be sure that some interest beside the public interest is being served,
 These opposing forces secured the

votes of four Senators against the passage of the Comptroller Bill. in every form in which it was offer- ed, viz, Senators Jensen, Pratt. Dunn and Howard. The other four Senators, Brown, Frame, Hunt and Steel, voted for it on every occa- sion, but the four negative votes de- feated the passage of the bill, for it needed five votes to pass.
 After the defeat of the bill in the Senate it was again introduced in the House in modified form to meet the objections made against it by Dunn and Howard in the Senate. It passed the House with a vote of nine ayes and seven noes. It was then sent to the Senate, but How ard, president of the Senate, in an arbitrary and unlawful ruling. sustained by the votes of the four Senators who defeated it on the first vote, refused to allow it to be received by the Senate, even for another vote, and thus by the votes of Jensen, Pratt, Dunn and Howard, the only chance for self-govern- ment against appointive Federal Bureaucracy was ruthlessly and shamefully slaughtered in Q legisla-

 And that's where I parked my valise" "They are JoVial, warm hearted fellows,
 There are trap men and canners galore And they're perfectly willing to tell us,
 Just what we should say on the floor" "They said that more men of my stature
 Were needed for making the laws That seiners rough necks by nature
 And statesman would champion their cause Vet I wonder sometimes why they helped me- And called me statesman of class And said there something about me-
 That distinguished me right from the mass" "Oh it's wonderful being a statesman
 For two months you feel like king But it's tough going back to the hard pan The old pick and shovel to swing"
