PLATFORM
G.O.P Means Good Government
Tti'* following la ilia platform ad
tpted by the convention:
We believe that tha Territory of
Ala*ku la entitled to more extended
powers aud pledge our support to
ii'aiehood for tha whole or t-art of
'I •.ritory ,
We believe In the principJa of pro
tectlon for American industries and
American. worklngmeii, in contra
Ti.-Btiou to the Democratic belief in
a tariff for revenue alon. We de
mand that the standard of living of
th« American masses be raised In
stead of lowered bj being brought
lute competition with living condi
tions aiui pauper labor i foreign
countries.
For Merchant Marine
Am a pajt ol the protective sys
tem, we urge the Immediate up
building by proper legislation, of
* merchant marine. which shall
consist of vessels built by Ameri
cana, owned by Americans, manned
by Americans^ carrying American
cargueb, under protection of the
American flag, to, every foreign
port; independent yrtniuctlon oaa
fco» exist with dependent transpor
tation.
liiat one of the most vital needs
'i Alaska Is tho construction of
the railroads, trails and bridges
throughout the Tarriotry to permit
the development oJ regions of
ricti resources now Inaccessible, ex
c»ot at enormous expense, and In
order 'o promote tha construction
of 'iiesn great arteries of commerce,
we favor financial aid by the Fed
ora] Go»emmeut of aLl legitimate
riilr-ad enterprises org'anited to
build trunk lines in Alaska when
ever auih, companlis shall with! their
ow« capital make substantia! pro
gress with their projects, and we
ur^v tliat all railroads so aided be
governed and controlled in the fix
>.:g j' a freight and passenger tar
Irf. We urge tliq speedy completion
of the governmental railway now
iKirtg constructed and favor .'ib
«*rM and prompt ; appropriations
thnrefor.
Preparedness Program
W# approve of national prepared
u<tj a.- outlined in the platform .of
tue Republican party and beliavti
this should Include Alaska.
Proper fortifications and protec
tion ot the Important seaports of
Alaska such as Juue^u, the capital;
KeH'hllcan, Valdez, Cordova and
Seward, should be made, just as is
now. being done in the Philippine,
Hawaiian Island and the seaboards
of the United States.
Alaska Is the largest and richest
territorial possession of the United
States, and so situated that it Is
cpm to easy attack by any hostile
•iowe»-t and now stands without any
means of defense whatsoever. A
reasonable expenditure for purposes
of protection of the chief points of
entry would guarantee the saftey of
lh« now developed resources of
Alaska such as the coal fields,
Sold a lid-copper mines and vast fish
ia. banks, all of whilch. would be of
Immense vaiu© ia the bunds of an
enemy,
Ou Conservation.
We believe in. the principle of
coi seivatloa, but not m the tying
up of such, natural recourses far fu
ture generations.
To tbis end we believe that the
present form of the cool leasing act
is Inadequate and should be
moditied so that Investors
uuder reasonable restrictions
will be assured proper
prot<?ctioa and be safe In entering
and developing the coal lauds, not
aloae tor the use of Alaska, but for
'be cltlzen.es of the United States as
a whole.
We Relieve Alaska coal fields of
fer the only available and dependt b
supply of good coal uuder the Arner
lean llag in the Pacific for the Pa
cific battle fleet, and therefore the
United Sates government should
Guarantee to Investors developing
»'ae fields that all of suitable g>rade
aud price needed by the fleet would
be Uaed from such, fields, aud not
purchased from foreign, countries or
be shipped through the Isthmus of
Panama from the Atlantic, all of
which would be for thebeneiit of
the Uu't«<l States, the investors and
workiufmeu and communal Interest
which would follow the coal de
velopment.
Wtr are la accord with the policy
of the government in reserving to
ltselt certain aroas of the best Al
zaiika coal lands for naval use 'or
all time, as a protection against
aicaoply.
We deplore th« In adequate laws
now la effect covering the location
and use of water power through th
territo-y of Alaska and ask that nin
azures b* taken to remedy this. pcr
tuitMnj; the development and use of
sucn water power, now running to
waste for all legitimate purposes.
Experimental Stations
We believe the future of Alaska
la dependent principal} an its gre;i*
natural resourses.viz. mining, t'lsh
lu» aerlculture, fur and water pow
er, and 'hat the output of these re
sources has material]}- Increased the
wealth of not alone Its owu citizens
but < hew hole American people and
the evidence this has afforded of the
lirmenti'-. of these natural resourse
full/ warrants immediate and; more
matprlul assistance in the way of ex
perimental stations established at
stragetic points throughout the ter
rltory, tuchewperlmental stations to
be of a nature which, would permit
protp€>c'or8 and miners to study in
greater detail the mineral resources
cf tn- country, obtaining a fullvr
knowledge of all metal*, including
th« rare metals, for assertaining
talueg and methodo of mining, de
veloping and marketine the same.
Tnat furtheir assistance should be
afforded the present system of study,
lug the fish) Industry in addition to
the work now carried on by the Un
Ited States Bureau of Fisheries
which would bring this industry
ud to tie par with that which, has
b en developed in European count
ries, such as Norway, Sweden, and
o'he' world fishing centers".
Tiiar In addition to the experi
mental work already carried out by
the Department of Agriculture the: e
should be an of'ort made to improve
and developo thefur Industry by tha
'inportation and prorogation of oth
er useful fur bea-rln^ animals, such
as sl.eeo, llama, etc.. raised in sim
ilar regions in South. America, and
As'a and In the introduction and
study of other meat animals for
food purposes so that the vast un
used territory all over Alaska and < nl
'he lslamls adjacent thereto could
be used for such species' as would
be found to bo adapated to the con
ditions exsisting in this country.
School Plnnk
We believe the children of the
men and women who have come to
Alisfia to develope its resoursi's
should have the same privilege
and opportunity for aneducr.ticn :s
are ofcred and provided in tfhe
3'aies anH other Territories under
•he American flag; that no present
protisien has been made equal to
tha» now provided even in the other
oo.onles of the Unitedi States,
«uch 'ts Hawaiian Island, Phillip
pities of Porto. Rico; that the prvs
ent enabling act does not permit the
Territoi/ to provide sucN eduction
and ,va* under the laws enactcd by
the Uii'ted State® government the
fundB available are wliolly inade
quate for the present- demand.
We believe immedlatQ action
should be tukeu by tho legislature
and the delegate tq congress look
ing t>Wiurdji the establishment o£ a
unlft.rm and proiKar school system
which will permit o£ thq construc
tion and operation off schools
tliroughout the entire outlying dis
trict as well as in 'ho municipali
ties: taid that further assisit^nca
should be given to tue construction
ot high to hooks wlthu tut) larger
municipalities and in connection

will permit of the children of Al- :
