Parks’s Message The the wits House taday calebrs expected its debat Bill and hegan ed Controller that a vote would reached this afternoon. Passs the measure was expected Reprosentative Gaftney, Nome, | delivered the principal addre against the measure at mid-after noon. It wi caretully prepared ad impressively delivered and ca sustained and logical arg: ment inst the measu which h scornfully termed Die of “rain bow-chasing, job-creating legislation Ross Opens Debate Represcnattive Ross, Fairbanks, opened the debate with a short tall proving the measure. He denied it radical departure from estah lishment forms of Tervitorial gov ernment. Heretofore, he noted, the| Legislatures of Alaska have utilized existing machinory governmental ! administration. In this manner ma duties have been piled upon the s of the Te must perforce by reason of It was not fai these officers, he was right and pro Legislature to creats on it he of a which clerks ritory, of by entrustad 1o their multiplicity to overburden argued, and it per for the new offices dutie Please for Governor Gaffney delivered his from manuscript from which, ever, he departed upon seve casions. Once he picked ol copy of Gov. Geo A hiennial message the 1 and quoted passage after from it which, he asserted, tained the most forceful asible to be uttered Mr, how- oc- wint Ak islatur passage con- i against | the, him a wiel of the suppose you would call he declared. I we had many more men type in Alaska.” He cited Governor's figures on cost mental administration, six of the total revenues proponents of the bill men generally to lower this in wernment or business. “They never tell you in res how much it costs 1o run their political scheme. Al, No! They nevoer touch figure detail. Only a mass of glittering gen cralities to blind the unthinking pub lie per and t Points to Differences And after reading again from the Governor's sssage. he declared “What a distint difference betwe Gov. Pavks and Mr. Wickershan et ms compi the homely logical deductions in the messag our Governor. Tere every phase Alaska’s conditions are laid bare svery sphere of the Territory’s in dustrios are analyzed, every prob! lem confronting us receives the most minute and searching scrutiny. Soln tions for the many intricate phases of our social, political and industrial activities are offered with a clearness and vigor characteristic of the rugged honesty and fearlessness of ou Executive. He warns against experi mental legislation, meaning undoub tedly measur like the Controller Bill and other measures of like ilk Ilis youthfal and highly techni mind deals not with visionary pro- jects but with cold realities. He sees Alaska, her people and conditions they are from a closeup picture, hav ing traversed the Territory from one end to another lust summer. His lo continuous residence, his asso nm ) wit hthe “roughneck” as well business man or professional m.n'\ gives him the background on which! to base his opinions. And like the rugged mountains of the country whic hGod destined him to preside over, he stands unawed and unalter able in his sound convictions by the polit bli rds that bowl his head.” Tribute to Wickersham Gaffney opened his address by paying a_compliment to the “maste mind of Mr. Wickersham” whom he described as the principal proponent | of the measure. But, he asked, “Is it not possible he may be mistaken in the wisdom he is seeking to bring about? It is not possible that in his political retirement he s estranged himself from the intimate of interior and northwestern with he was once so closely touch? Evidently his mind does visual that the da of the idual in that vast stretch of coun- from Seward to Kotzebue Sound is a thing of the past. T W it not for capital, the flourishing camps he once knew in the heydey of their success would be as dead Siberia where they have so many Control Boards they manage to keep that mineralized country a wilderness, Or, probably, living in the Panhandle of Alaska, his political vision is cir- cumseribed by the narrow strip of land that extends from ¢ the Canadian border.
