AMMUNITION IS TOO LIGHT
At a mass meeting of citizens at
Nome recently, the greater part of
the gathering comprised, presum
ably, of patriotic democrats, who
before President Wilson's elec
tion. scrambled alter office in the
republican ranks, a unanimous pro
test was raised "against the pas
sage of the Wickwsham bill
for a Commission form of govern
ment for Alaska, denouncing it as
an attempt to foist upoa Alaska
the old Beveridge bill."
Without going into details and
taking up space, we quote from
the official report of hearings be
fore the committee on territories in
thq house of representatives, had
on June 3 and 5, 1914, having un
der consideration H. R. 15763, a
bill to establish a commission form
of government in the administra
tion of national affairs in Alaska,—
the Wlckersham bill.
Section 1, in part, reads;
That for the purpose of es
tablishing a commission form
°f government in the adminis
tration of national affairs in '
the territory of Alaska, there
shall be, and is hereby, creat
ed la said territory, the Alas
ka Administrative commission.
Section 3 to .14 inclusive, pre
scribes the duties, power, authority
and jurisdiction of the commission.,
which includes all of the adminis
trative functions now exercised
by the numerous departments and
bureau^ in Washington la the con
duct of national affairs in Alaska.
-Vr. Wickersham. ia his state
ment before the committee Bald;
"This bill has nothing to do
•with the local government of
Alaska. It is a combination of
the forces of administration un
der the national government
only.
Chairman Houston of the com
mittee, in course of the hearing
said;
"The purpose of the bin is
to have a boar a upon the
ground that can deal with mat
f0TB expeditiously, and deal in
'hat way -with matters that are
to the interest of Alaska with
out having to have them come
up through the various de
partments here"
Mr. Wickersham further said;
"The purpose in preparing
this bill was to create an ad
ministration commission only,
having no legislative power
whatever, and no Judicial pow
er, except that which is given
to a single officer or ex-officio
• commissioner of the general
. land office in Alaska. That
Is all. sec. 31 reads; That
nothing in this act shall be
construed to give the Alas
ka administrative commission
any power, authority, oontrol,
or jurisdiction over the political
or internal affairs of the terri- .
tory of Alaska, nor to grant
to said commission any legis
lative powec or authority."
The document from which the
above quotations are taken is a
rather voluminous report, contain
ing in addition to the statement of
Mr. Wickersham, letters from the
heads of the various departments,
'n Washington City, and is very
Interesting reading throughout, and
we regret greatly that there are no
copies for distribution in the terri
tory of Alaska, as U would -with
out doubt greatly enlighten the pub
lic. on the system of red tape In
the conduct of our affairs at the
national capital.
The Nome mass meeting was eith
er woefully ignorant of the true
•tatug in regard to the bill, or It
was a cheap political trick em
anating from some of Mr. Wicker
sham's opponents who &r» trying to
create public sentiment against him
in the coming campaign. They will
haye to ttse header amunitfon than
that before they will make aay im
pression on the voters.
