Show PEOPLE OF ALASKA SATISFIED WITH UNCLE SAM'S RULE j , Mi SEATTLE, April 8.-rW. B. Hoggatt, f Governor of Alaska, reached Seattle to- j day from Washington. "We-got al- i T most everything we asked of the last session of Congress," he said. "The people of Alaska are well satisfied with Uncle Sam's treatment of them. This, cry for a Territorial form of govern-', ment comes from political discontents. To 'have this change in rule would mean an increase in taxation . of 25 cents per capita, and a small population, popula-tion, together, with the fact that the country is only partly developed, does not warrant this Durden. We can very well afford to go along as we are, de- i spite the howl of politicians." J |
