Alaska has less self-government.and J
autonomy than Porto Rico, Philippines,|
or Hawaii, and semi-aliens in other
Territories are subject to less federal,
tax than are Dative-born Americans-in
Alaska, declared Falcon Josliu, speak,*
iog before the Alaska committee of the
Chamber of Cotmfcerce at the semw
monthly dinner meeting, held at the
Maimer Cli^.
“If Alaska bad had complete or a3
much freedom of development and gov
ernment as the government gives these
semi-aliens in other Territories, Alaska
would have 1100,000 to 500,000 people to
day, instead of 110.000 white inhabit
ants, and its annua* commerce,, instead
of being $100,000,000 annually, would
be $500,000,000 annually. The Scandi
navian countries, with no less area, and
without coal, oil, the great. tfraber
stands and withdess agricultural lands,
support 12,000,000 people,” said Jesliu.
