WHAT WILL IT COST?
Now that the question of home
gvernment for Alaska, not withstand
ing the unmistakably emphatic dec
larati on of the people in its favor, as
voiced at the first delegate election,
has been set over for the new con
gress to deal with, it should prompt
the friends of the proposed measure
to even greater strenuosity it its be
half to the end that when the new
congress meets next December the op
position may have been minimized to
such an extent that it will be prac
tically divested of its power and in
uflence at the national capital. This,
assuming from The Miner s own
standpoint, that territorial oraguiza
tion, or some other form of local self
government is desirable, and that it
is earnestly desired by a very consid
erable majority of the people of
Alaska. With this purpose in view,
and assuming further that all. with
out exception, are sincerely desirous
of doing that which, in their honest
opinion, will best promote the gen
eral prosperity and future welfare of
the district, the disposition should
be not to engage in acrimonious dis
cussion. but rather to reason amicably
one with another to the end th3t
harmonious action looking to the gen
eral public good may result. M hile
it is scarcely possible that all may
emerge from such an effort at the
crystalization of public sentiment of
the same mind, certainly little if any
thing is to be gained to the cause of
local self-government by discussing
the question in other than a spirit of
friendly toleration. These remarks
are based by The Miner on a disposi
tion to be just and tolerant with those
who show a disposition to be equally
so in the discussion of a question of
so much importance to all concerned,
assuming for the time being at least,
that those who differ with it are
equally honest in their views and
desires.
It is not denied, other than by im
plication. that the people of Alaska
are fully as well, if not better, quali
fied for the esercise of the rights
and privileges of local self-govern
ment than were those of any of the
territories of the United States at the
time of their organization. Neither
is it dersied that, with one exception
obIv, it has 3 larger population than
bad any of the others, or that, though
of vast extent, the means of travel
and communication are better than in
most of the territories even for
many years after their organization.
What then, are the grounds upon
which the opposition to self-govern
ment for Alaska is based?
In the light of the history of the
territories heretofore organized, it
cannot consistently be claimed that
her population is not sufficient, be
cause she has a larger number of
people residing and doing business
within her borders that had any other
territory at the time it was given an
organic act. with the single exception
of Hawaii, more than two-thirds of
whose population is made up of non
English speaking people. Nor can it
be truthfully said that the district is
deficient in developed resources, be
cause those are equal almost, if not
quite, in productive value to those
of all the other territories combined
at the time of their organization. In
the light of history, the plea of im
practicability on account of the
widely separated settlements and
sections of the district must fall to
the ground, because the plea is not
nearly so applicable to Alaska as It
was to many of the territories when
organized, but in the case of none of
which it was not permitted to stand
as a bar to the right of the people to
govern themselves.
It follows, therefore, that there is
no plea that the opponents to terri
torial organization put forth that is
worthy of consideration other than the
prop>osition that it will entail upon
the people a burden of taxation too
grievious to be borne. Notwithstand
ing no facts or figures have been
presented in support of that proposi
tion. and that The Miner regards it
as an ill-founded fear only, it never
theless appears to be the principal,
if not only, objection upon which the
so-called “business” interests base
their objection to home rule. It may
be that the objection from this source
rests upon a deeper and more signifi
cant foundation, but of that it is
Dot the present purpose of this jour
nal to inquire. It proposes, as far as
the limited ability of its editorial
writer will permit, to discuss here
and now the question of taxation and
financial ability of the peqple to pay,
from the only standpoint they them
selves present.
In order to arrive at a fair con
clusion as to the “burdens” of taxa
tion of which the opponents of home
rule profess so much fear, it will first
be necessary to honestly inquire
what, approximately, will be the cost
of a territoral organization, honestly
and economically administered. Let
us do this, ignoring for the time be
ing. any and ail questions as to
whether any people anywhere can be
justified in weighing dollars and cents
in the scale against the priceless
heritage of representative free^overn
jneut. Let us, therefore, owider
_ _ mm
' -■ 7
•he question front the standpoint of
profit and los-. having regard to
dollars and cents only.
It is perhaps needless to point out
the fact which is, or should he.
known to everybody of ordinary in
telligenee, that the salaries of all
the officials appointed, as uow. by the
president governor, secretary, judges
marshasl, district attorneys, etc.,—
would as now lx* paid by the general
government as would also the pet
diem and mileage of members, to
gether with all legitimate expenses of
the legislature, including the print
ing of the laws. On the other hand,
the salaries of such territorial
officials as the legislature might deem
necessary to the proper administra
tion of territorial affairs, together
with the cost of maintenance of a
territorial prn. .1 and the care of the
insane, would have to lx* paid from
the territorial treasury.
Now, what would be the probable
cost, assuming that we are capable of
a proper administration of our own
! affairs? How many territorial officials
would be required? Montana with a
' population of over 00,000 in l$t>$. four
years subsequent to organization as a
• territory, had an official roster em
bracing a treasurer, aduitor, attorney
general, superintendent of public in
struction, and a superintendent of
agriculture, the sum total of whose
annual salaries amounted to $2,300,
I with the addition of fees to some of
them which were, however, not a
■ charge against the territory. Colo
rado. six years after organization,
j had a treasurer, audi'or, attorney
general and superintendent of public
instruction, with salary pay-roll of
the same amount as Montana, where
as Dakota got along with a territorial
salary pay-roll of $375.75.
It will not be assumed that Alaska
could, or would, conduct its affairs
! so cheaply, as Colorado or Montana,
as to salaries, but they certainly could
j be administered with as few. if not
fewer, territorial officials. It is hardly
probable that more than an Auditor.
Treasurer. Attorney General and Su
perintendent of public instruction
would be required, and their com
bined salaries should not exceed $10.
000 annually. Then, what would be
the probable cost of maintenance of
a territorial prison and caring for
the insane? Would it be $50,000,
$100,000, or how much?
Here we pause to give the op
. ponentsof territorial organization time
j to give us their estimate, in t'.e last
! resrard, reserving to another issue
! our own estimate of the probable cost
.of home government together with an
exposition of how that cost can be
met without a single dollar of prop
erty taxation.
A CONTRAST.
Our task in the Philippines, which
are scon to have accorded them the
; privilege of self-government, to the
extent at least of being permitted to
chose representatives for a legislature
of their owd. says that able and
wholly non-partisan publication. The
Outlook, is very far from completion.
For instance. Governour Ide points
■ out that school provisions ean be
| made for only half a million children.
1 while a million and a half are elam
! oring for admission to the schools.
At present, lie holds, the great lack
of the Filipino people is a middle
class. "There is a small, very small,
j l>ocy of highly educated people, some
| of them educated abroad, a mere
; handful, and then there is the great
mass of untrained uneducated and
ignorant people, and between the two
classes there is a tremendous chasm
yet to be filled.” To meet fully such
! problems as this of education is im
possible for the simple reason that
the Philippine Government is px>or.
And it is poor because Congress re*
fuses to do justice to the Philippines
in the matter of tariff. There is still
3n opportunity for next session of
! Congress to take the action urged
upon it again and again by the presi
dent and by all friends of a right
policy in the islands. The export tax
on hemp. Judge Ide declares, has
taken between one and two million
dollars from the poverty-stricken in
sular treasury and employed it for
the benefit of the cordage trust: the
| coastwise shipping law has extended
a doctrine wise in itself and for our
own coastwise trade to a situation
where it can work only hardship and
injustice: the prohibitive tariff on
sugar and tobacco is not only "a mon
sterous injustice.” but gives the
FilipiDO "the feeling that the Amer
ican colonies had when subjected to
j discriminating and ruinous trade reg
ulations by Great Britain.” These
are the words of an administrator
and oragnizer of recognized ability
and of six and a half years’ experience
in the Philippines. If the views they
| express are not just and sound. Con
gress should have the courage to
state that fact and refuse to act upon
them: if the views are right, then
Congress should be ashamed of reason
ed inaction.
In this connection the Miner would
like to remind The Outlook that
it might very profitably give some
part of its attention to conditions pre
vailing in Alaska, where there is no
such need of education preliminary
to according her people the privileges
of local self-government. If it will
inquire into the situation the least bit
carefully, it will find it can very
readily afford to spare some of its
sympathy to a pieopile of its kith and
kin who are even worse off, from
a political point of view at least,
than are those of the Philippines.
WHY NOT CUT LOOSE?
It is reported from Washington that
the question whether it is not better
for this country to let go of tb* Phil
ippines is beiDg ver/ serious!/ dis
cussed by leading Hepublicans. Thi
talk has been especially rife since the
recent Japanese war scare. The fact
is generally acknowledged that were
war to break out Japan could easily
and quickly seize the islands, and
while our war experts seent to think
that in the 'end we could win they
also think that after the Japs were
ouce in the islands, it would he a
very difficult job to dislodge them.
In fact in a war with any country
with a strong navy the islands would
be our weakest point.
It is on other grounds, however,
that the idea of letting go is mainly
based. The fact is that the riiilip
pines are costing us an immense
amount of money and there is no end
to the expenditures in sight. The
administration is costly and if there
are any improvements made in the
1 islands they must be paid for out of
1 the public treasury. The people are
jHior and need help. They cannot be
taxed for roads, sewers, park-, rail
roads or anything else calling for
large sums. Uncle Sam must pay.
Then, too. if the islands are retain
ed million- must be expended for
; f 011ideations. A considerable array
must be maintained to keep order
oven ip time of profound peace. We
I cannot make citizens out of the
natives in generations. Our indus
tries. cotton, sugar and tobacco, ob
ject to giving the islanders entrance
to our markets, yet we keep them out
of other markets. In short, the is
lands offer all kinds of problems with
out, so far as can be seen, any compen
sating advantages.
A western senator has suggested
to the presient that the United States
take two permanent coaling station
in the islands, that two lie given to
England and that for these conces
sions the two nations jointly guaran
tee tlie independence and territorial
integrity of the Philippine nation.
There would be no guarantee of pro
tection in case of war, but simply a
pledge of nationality.
Tiiis in the main may be talk such
as we have heard before, but from
one )Kiiut of view it is the right kind
of talk. Every fair minded man must
concede that we should do one of two
tilings. We should either give the
Philippines a chance to develop in
dustrially and commercially, and give
them a square deal in-tead of exploit
1 ir.g them; or we should cut loose
from them. So far we have refused
the square deal, and if we are going
to continue to refuse, it will certainly
lie more honorable and decent to give
them independence.
SELF-GOVERNMENT ASSAl'RED.
Why the federal government should
j break from a territorial policy it ha
, pursued for more than a century, why
j it should withhold from Alaska a
; right and a privilege it has granted
other territories of less moment in
material wealth and in population,
are questions not easily answered.
Without 'rhyme or reason, Alaska
seems to have been put upon the "un
fair list.’’ However, the robust and
loyal American citizens who live in
the northern country, and who have
dedicated their talents and energies
to its development, need not despair:
there will be a day of reckoning
and wrong will be righted.
Alaska's phenomenal growth is an
J eloquent reminder that in a very
short space of time the federal gvern
ment will be compelled, on account of
; the bulk, importance and value of
Alaska's resources and productiveness.
1 to yield the just and reasonable de
mands now made in behalf of the
territory. It is so written in tl.e ties
tiny of the nation, and men who are
now standing in the light will be for
gotten in the day of Alaska's tri
umph.—Seattle P.-I.
James Bryce, ambassador to this
country from England draws a salary
of 150,000 a year, as much as our
president gets, and in addition has an
allowance of *10.000 for installing
himself in his ambassadorial home in
Washington, and other perquisites
Our limit for salary allowances for
ambassadors is #17,500, and we are
very stiff-necked about allowances and
perquisites. As a consequence the
foremost posts in our diplomatic
service can be given only to rich
men, for only rich men can support
them as they ought to be supported, if
they are to he maintained on a par
w ith those of other countries. Eng
land. on the other had. pays her dip
lomats so liberally that public men
; of comparatively modest means, who,
, on account of their ability, she may
desire to advance to the highest
places in the diplomatic service, can
accept appointments without any mis
givings concerning financial matters.
In this respect England's policy seems
much the best. Ultimately we will
probably adopt it.
_ ~~
Elmer E. Brown, the new U. S.
I Commissoner of Education, wants
fifty additional native schools estah
1 idled in Alaska, and the adoption of
a different system of education tliere
in. The last suggestion may he all
right, but what he would do with
any additional native schools in
Alaska, unless some efficacious plan of
compulsory attendance can be devis
ed, cannot readily be seen, or even
imagined, by those at all conversant
with the nituation. There is dow,
not more than three miles from
Ketchikan, one of these schools, with
high salaried teachers the attendance
at which does not average half a
dozen pupils, and is frequently with
out any pupils at all. Certainly, no
more native schools are needed in this
section of Alaska, if indeed it is de
sired that native children shall re
ceive a modicum of benefit from the
money expended in their mainten
ance , j
After he had delivered a lecture
to nearly too hundred students of a
primary school in Tokyo one day last
month, a Japanese professor offered
to present the school with the picture
of the greatest man in the world’s
history if tin* pupils would decide who
was that man. An election was
ordered in which George -Washington
lead in the voting by a very large
plurality. The seocnd choice was an
American, also. Abraham Lincoln.
Several other Americans, including
Thomas Jefferson and Theodore
Roosevelt received votes. That would
indicate, at least, that the children
of Japan are m>t possessed of preju
dice against Americans or of race
hatred.
Uncle Joe Gannon, who will un
doubtedly again be elected speaker of
the House of Representatives, in a
speech to Porto Ricans at San Juan
| the other day, promised them self
; government as soon as they are ready
' for it. Ami thereby hangs a tale
! susceptible of several different inter
pretations from the standpoint of
i your astute politician. Who is to say
w hen the people of Porto Rico are
“ready” for self-government--the
people most directly interested, or
the politicians at Washington? The
people of Alaska have declared them
selves, by overwhelming vote, ready
1 for self-govermueut, and yet Uncle
•Too and the vv Iscaeres of congress say
i them nav.

The Chicago Inter-Ocean, speaking
of the wide-spread interest in copper
■ at present, says that an output from
Alaska ore deposits is eagerly looked
tor by consumers in hopes that it will
: lower the price of copper. It says:
“In the United States, the largest
producing country iu the world, the
chief mines are to all intents and
purposes cleaned out of copper for
four or five months to come, and big
producers in other parts of the world
are in much the same position. Mean
while. users of copper apprehend
great danger were it not for the fact
that this Alaska copper will be placed
in the market so soon and will, in a
measure, supply their wants.”
Recently it became apparent that
i certain influences had organized to
postpone territorial government- as
long as possible and were seeking by
insidious methods to enlist all the
national political influence they could
obtain. At once the great majority
of the people of the territory, whose
attitude towards self-government had
been that of quiescent approval, were
aroused to a fighting mood. The fight
is on and will be continued actively
until territorial government wins,
whether it be two years or twenty.—
Seward Gateway,
Gifford Pinchot, the government
forestry expert, whose salary has been
raised to £5,oOU a year, is one of many
rich young men attached to the public
service whose salaries do not meet
i their living expenses l.y several
thousand c^ns every year. Mr.
Pinchot took up forestry as a sort of a
fad soon after graduating from Yale
and then sought a position in the
government service in order that he
might turn hi> fad to practical ac
count. This he has done most success
| fully.
A copper smelter w ith a capacity
of at least 500 tons daily will be built

track will be pushed forward with all

Gov. Hoggatt opposes a fourth ju
dicial division for Alaska. Gov. Hog
gatt is right enougli in that. It is
not merely another judge we need,
but such a reorganization of our has
tard civil government as will give
us a supreme court of our own, thus
doing away, in large part, with the
j necessity for taking important cases
to a court of appeals sitting in San
Francisco or Seattle. ,

Tiie Seattle Times Everett Corres

to the ores, saying nothing about the
necessity of going so far for them:
