S e — FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1948 WOMEN'S CLUBS OF ALASKA ARE GIVEN POLITICAL ADVICE In a letter to the Women's Clubs of Alaska, Mrs. Mildred Hermann, Legislative Chairman, urges sup- port for well-qualified candidates, especially capable women, in “h(“ coming elections. “Apathy in régard to government is the greatest public | enemy Alacka has today,” Mrs. Her- mann states. | s citizens of the Territory, Mrs.| Hermann continues, “We should be| deeply intercsted in the government and the people who admi er it Sines we are facing another elec- tion year, our interest should ex- tend to our candidates for public’ office, particularly for the legisla- | ture.” | Mrs, Hermann urges that the “Wo- m Clubs support candidates with | qualifications of honesty, intelli-| gence and independence enough to refuse to be cat's paws for the lobby- ‘Women should, of course, possess the same qualifications as men. Un- less candidates have integrity as private citizens, you cannot expect integrity in public office,” Mrs. Her- mann further stated. COMMUNICATION DEAR SIR: . As I am in Juneau on business for Hoonah in regards to fishing re- gulat'ons and in regard to our road, as one born in the Territory and one who has lived here all of his life. I feel impelled to tell the Cheechako Editor of your sheet that we sel-| dom take the trouble to answer all the Empire’s misrepresentations on every subject, but particularly the Native people. However, in this case the people of Hoonah were so ril- ed that quite a y of them asked me to tell u off, | In the course of its editorial mis: representation the Empire saw fit to ze of Hoonah in the| other things that the Indian Office ing Project. The Indian Office spent not one cent on the housing project. | It was built by the Federal Public Housing authority during the war so that the people of Hoonah could coptinue processing fish for food that was a war necessity The Empire editorial further states that the Alaska Native Service wastes money, and bases the charge on the fact that the Alaska Native Service completed a deal for the purchase of the Hood Bay Cannery. This cannery is to be ownd and op- erated by the Native people of An- goon and will be paid for by them. This, the Empire states, is socialism, and says the Territory will get no ta in the future from this can- nery. This is not true. This cannery will pay the same taxes it has paid in tlie past, I agree that these taxes WINTER CARNIVAL [Investigation $551,000 on the Hoonah Hous-| | FOR WHITEHORSE | Just Cannof Be | Square said | investi P— Clark today that a reported of his office was news Three Days of Sporting,— : Evenfs Listed — PAA | Special Schedule nnual winter carnival at rse, Y.

The children of Hocnah have not run barefoot in the snow or out of the snow this winter or any other winter. | While it is true, owning to a poor’| fishing season, the people of Hoonah.1 like those of any other fishing com- | munity of Southeastern Alaska, are hard up, we shall continue to meet our cbligations in meeting payments | on the houses furnished us by the| Federal Public Housing Authority, | as well as buying oil to keep these houses warm. No one in Hoonah has| been cold as yet this winter. You likewise indicate your belief | that the Territory is spending $50,-| 000 on a road from Hoonah to a can- nery that will not operate this com- | ing season. Your figures, of course,| are exaggerated and the cannery, will operate as usual. Otherwise your statements to that effect are as near the truth as is possible for you to make them. For years the Territory has been building roads to mining prospects | which are not operating. Is it not| a good idea once in while to build a road to the industry which chiefly supports the majority of the people of Alaska? For years the Territory has been the RFC, has been loaning money | to finance mining prospects, why is it wrong for another government agency to finance a fish processing project or cannery. Is it because we are Natives? Why is it socialism| when the fishermen borrow money to finance a cannery project and fine capitalism when miners likewise acquire money for mining? The Empire seems worried that| the Hood Bay cannery, as owned by | the Natives will not pay taxes. I| have never noticed it worrying, in any other editorial, about the many! big industries in Alaska that pay no taxes at all. (signed) Harry Douglas, Mayor of Hoonah.
