Mr. Foster said that we were celebrating the hundred fifty- fifth anniversary of the birth of the nation which has lasted longer than any republic ever organized. He declared that it will continue so long as everyone does his part. Mr. Foster congratulated the peo- ple of Douglas in their struggle against overwhelming odds and | complimented them on their abil- | ity to stick together. He expressed his belief that the town of Douglas is coming back History of Codes In the course of his talk, Mr. Foster reviewed the history of the various codes since Alaska was purchased from Russia in 1276. He also suggested the need of differ- ent divisions of representailon In the Alaska Legislature. ritory is divided into four divisions with four Representatives and two Senators coming from each division. However the apportionment of wealth and population has changed greatly in recent years. One half the voting population is in the first division and thirty per cent in the third; the first division pays 46 | per cent of the taxes and the third 52 per cent. In other words the first and third divisions pay 98 per cent of the taxes but have no more representation than the other two divisions which pay one per cent each. Need of Population “We need population, we need jobs for that population, we need development of the Territory. We have a country four times as large as California and a coastline long enough to encircle the globe,” averred Mr. Foster. In conclusion Mr. Foster gave Lincoln’s address at Gettysburg. Mayor Kilburn who introduced Mr. Foster spoke briefly of the significance of the Fourth of July as the birthday of the nation and mentioned his visit to the 150th ' birthday of his home town.
