l. In keeping with the princi- pie of representative sef-govern ment, We urge home rule for AL aSka, and, to that end, we not only favor a full Territorial form of Government, but We also be- lieve that all Federal and Terri torial offices in Alaska ought to be filled through the appoint ment f bona-fide AlaSkans, and that all such officers and their employees, except those under the Civil Service regulation, should be recognized members of the party in power.
 2. We believe in the fullest exercise of the jurisdiction now vested in the Alaska Legislature, and that all matters not of pure ly Federal concern should be administered by the Territory.
 3. We renew our opposition to Federal control of the fisheries of Alaska, which Federal control has resulted in a short season of highly intensive fishing and dis crimination against Alaskan la bor to the detriment of local fishermen, business men, and the entire population of Alaska.
 We urge that legislation be en- acted by Congress amendatoTy to the organic act of Alaska to the end that all restrictions be re- moved which now prevent the Legislature of Alaska from pass ing laws to regulate and admins ter the fisheries industry.
 We urge the elimination of the standing and oating fish traps in Alaskan waters 10 the end that qualified resident fishermen of Alaska may be afforded the op- portunity of securing a just re- turn for their labor expended as participants in the great industry that has been developed from

POST--ROGERS DEDICATION

Three years ago Aug. 18th, two ot the most outstanding and be- loved of the sons of America Wiley Post and Will Rogers met tragic fate near Point Bar row, farthest north point of Am erlcan possessions.
 On that date with fitting cere- nnony a monument of stone from their native state of Oklahoma was dedicated to their memories.
 Overlooking Walikpi lagoon, this monument will stand for time indefinite, a reminder and warnign signal to all who pass that way. To be provided with lights, it will serve as a guiding beacon to those who navigate the sea or airWays of that vicinity.
 Fairbanks, as the place from which Post and Rogers took off on their final flight, recalls with special interest and affection the two modest, yet great men, whose lives were lost in the tra- gic event.
 No one can measure what Wiley Post contributed to avia- ton in his record-breaking round the world flights and many other extraordinary flights. His pio- neering achievements will cause his name to long ilumine the pages of aviation history. The happiness brought to the world by Rogers through his rare and kindly talents of which he gave So generously to the world, like wise is beyond measure.

the natural fishing resources of the Territory.
 4. We also reaffirln our oppos- fur and game resources of Alas ition to Federal control of the ka, voice our vigorous protest against the continued misrule of those resources by the Alaska Game Commission, and urge that the organic act of the Territory be amended so that the Alaska Legislature may have complete control over these resources.
 5. We endorse the policies of the Roosevelt Administration which gives adequate recognition to the rights of the public, capi- tai and labor in matters affecting industry.
 ....6. We urge the continuation of Federal appropriations for road and trail building in Alaska and the enlargement thereof, so that the Territory may be speedily covered by a complete and coor- dinative system of roads and trails; liberal appropriations for the improvement of rivers and harbors of Alaska; increased ap- propriations for extending the work of the United States Geolo- gical Survey, Public Surveys, Coast and Geodetic Surveys and the Lighthouse Service in Alaska
 7. We favor the utilization by the Government of Alaska and by all Federal bureaus and agen cies in Alaska of local products and local labor whenever possi- ble, whether by contract or oth- erwise.
 g. We favor liberal appropri- ations for public schools in Alas ka including those conducted by both the Territorial and Federal authorities.
