The Platform
(Continued from page 2).
mils (hose taxes to be paid in
affidavits of Uio amount of «ai
mon fry released, should be re
pealed.
We also favor a lax upon bar
relled herring and cod Osh put
up for food purposes and export.
We are opposed to the Impor
tation of cheap foreign labor, lo
lio employed al tho canneries, to
I hi, exclusion of citizens and bon i
.hie residents of Alaska, and \v«>
earnestly urge Hint the laws pro
hibiting aliens from llshing in I In*
waters of Alaska he rigidly en
forced.
Offlolals.
We believe that the appojiY
ment «»f all federal ofllcinls In
ttiis territory should he maffe
from the body of its citizens.
Natives.
We believe that I hot conditions
surronndiiiK the native Indians of
Alaska call for the employment of
such means as will improve his
physical condition and will teach
him useful arts and trades by
which ho may be rendered self
supporting. It is a wasto of
money to spend thousands of
dollars on tho ornamental edu
cation of the Indians, who Is
nt>w, through the neglect of the
Republican administration, be
cumin# a fast dying race.
Aids to Navigation.
The many wrecks in very re
ccnt times along our coast ac
centuates the neglect of the Re
publican administration in pro
viding adequate aids for naviga
tion.
We favor the immediate con
struction of a sufficient number
of lighthouses, beacons and oth
er aids to navigation along our
roasts to reasonably safeguard
the lives and the property of our
people and that in conneetion
therewith the military rabies I
should be kept, open at all hours
and that, cable rates be lowered
to the aclmil cost of service; that
a revenue culler with wireless
equipment be stationed at Prince
William sound, and that adequate
wireless stations be. added to,4he
cable and telegraph systems to
make the means of communica
tion complete throughout Alas
ka.
Roads and Trails.
We favor liberal appropria
tions for the building and main
tenance of roads and trails and
earnestly urge the immediate
survey and the construction from
the coast to Fairbanks of a trunk
automobile road to facilitate our
slow and tnrdy mail service and
cheaper freight and passenger
rates and we denounce the un
certain and obligatory attitude of
the administration on this vital
question.
Tho Conolusion.
Many of the evils under which
we suffer could and would be
remedied if we had a local leg
islature, but not having that, we
pledge the best efforts of our
candidate for delegate to secure
from congress a remedy of such
evils.
With faith in the justice and
wisdom of the declaration here
by enunciated, we present this
platform and the candidate for
delegate whom this convention
may nominate, to the people of
Alaska, with the further sugges
tion that the time has come when
all Alaskans should unite for the
establishment of our common
wraith upon a llrm and enduring
basis, r.nd its upbuilding by wise,
just and comprehensive laws.
