MASS MEETING RESOLVES
IN FAVOR OF HOME RULE
Delegate Wickersham's Measure, Providing A Territorial
k
Form Of Government, Is Strongly Supported. Min
ority Resolution Is Introduced, But Is
Voted Down
Valdoz voted almost unanimously
last night at the mass mooting in the
city hall in favor of the bill introduced
in congress by Delegate WiokorHham
to create a territorial legislature.
Several speakers opposed the measure,
but when the vote was taken they
voted alone.
The Wickersham bill was read and
disoussed at some length. J. G. Sny
der opposed it as impolitic at this
time. He thought it unwise to run
counter to the president's wishes and
as the president had said ho thought a
commission government and railroad
aid were about what Alaska needs at
this time, Alaska would antagonize
its own interests by asking for some
thing it has no chance to get now.
A. G. King and Dr. Camicia took the
same ground. Osear Fish, Dr. Boyle,
C. ('-. Rudolph, James McHie and E.
E. Ritchie urged endorsement of the
bill.
Reports from the committee ap
pointed Monday night were read. A
majority report by C. C. Rudolph and
Oscar Fish favored the Wickersham
bill. A minority report by Joe Lee
opposed it. The majority report was
adopted with only fou»' votes against
it.
('. (J. Van II'joU then mado a brief
speech, Mtiitiiif»- that he was in Wash
ington all through the recent session
of congress anil knew that Judge
Wiekersham ha<!-acquired a position
of standing and influence there.
The resolution adopted follows:
i
Resolved: That the people of Val
dez, irrespective of party affiliation,
favor the enactment by congress of a
bill giving to Alaska a legislature with
general* legislative powers, introduced
in the Sixty-firsi Congress by Hon.
James Wiekershmn, delegate in Con
gress from Alaska, or a bill containing
substantially the same provisions;
Resolved: That we request and urge
every person in or outside of Alaska
in sympathy with self government for
the territory, to write to members of
both houses of congreHs with whom
they mi'.y be hc; / ."int*'d, asking sup
port for the Wickeraham bill.
The minority preamble and resolu
tion proponed were as follow:
Whereas, the President ol the
United States has announced in a
public addrebs at Seattle, and in sev
eral published interviews in discuss
ing Alaska affairs that he is ready to
recommend to the congress of the
United States in his next annual mes
sage to that body the passage of legis
lation to create a commission for the
government of Alaska, similar to the
Philippines Commission, and
Whereas, the president has further
slated in his addresses and interviews
that hi* considers the question of rail
road transportation the most impor
tant of all questions to the people of
the territory of Alaska, and has de
clared that he is ready and willing to
recommend the passage of the neces
sary legislation to secure t he construc
tion of railroads to the interior oi
Alaska by government guarantee ol
the interest on the bonds of said rail
roads; and
Whereas, the construction of u
railroad from Valdez to the interiot
is the question of most vital impor
tance to this community at this time,
as well as to the government itself,
now, therefore,
Resolved, that the position of Presi
dent Taft is hereby endorsed by thif
meeting, and that our delegate tc
congress, the Hon. James Wicker
sham, is hereby instructed to heartily
aid and co-operate with the presidenl
in his efforts to secure the proposcc
legislation.
On motion the meeting adjournec
j until next Friday night to discusi
; railroad and coal land legislation.
