(BY E. L. BARTLETT) 1
v
WASHINGTON, May 22— The j
Department of the' Interior is (
again considering the imposition j
of tolls on traffic moving over the ,
Richardson Highway. ;
This plan, advanced last year ,
and authorized by an act of Con- -
grees granting the Secretary of j
the Interior authority to make pay- ,t
ment of tolls compulsory, is now j
in the process of having teeth put ^
into it. :
The Senate has passed and the ]
House before it for consideration ]
a bill providing a tine of $100 or j
imprisonment for 30 days, or both, j
for those violating rules and reg- *
illations which may be established.
As originally conceived, the idea ,
was that tolls would prevent
through freight from being haul
ed over the highway and thus
would prevent competition with
the Alaska Railroad. The same
purpose prevails now, hut appears
to go efrea further,
It has. been stated that the De
par meat has ufcder consideration a
schedule calling for tolls on all
motor vehicles using the highway,
including tars used for pleasure
purposes ns well as trucks and bus
es. A flat annual charge would
be m«4e for pleasure cars, it is
^understood.
Believing it to be wholly unjust
| and discriminatory, Delegate IM
• mend is opposing the proposal with
[all the vigor at his command. He
| has already had two conferences
with Secretary I ekes on the sub
ject. 1 In bis ftrtft talk with the
i Secretary he gained the impression
othat the Oepactjm ent would be will
ing to ilet the toll idea go b; i
board if the territory would
a porttiao ‘©f its road funds to
maintaining the Richardson High
way, which would simply mean
■that .Federal funds thus released
would he- used elsewhere in Alaska
*ltm1 the whole procedure would 'be,
in tact, imerely a bookeeping tran
ssee-ikm. *
The Delegate immediately wired
:Q over nor Troy, Highway Engin
eer William Hesse and Treasurer
Watetien •&. Smith, composing the
Territorial Aboard of road commis
sioners, and the board agreed to
allot $10,060 anunlly for mainten
ance of the highway for the next
•:-wo pears.
Mr. Dimpnd transmitted the
board’# decision to Secretary Ickes
only to be informed that the De
psantme*:t had Intended only to ex
empt pleasure cars from tolls if
the Tej-rttory courtrtibuled ito imain
terfance of the highway. The Del
egate had not bo understood at the
original conference, (but the Secre
tary was adamant.
There the matter rests bow, but
Del eg* e Dim on d is prepared to do
everything he can do to prevent
the establishment of tolls.
He has bean informed that it is
unlikely that the"* enforcing bill,
providing penalties for violations
of (Richardson Highway regulations
will (be reported out of the House
Committee on Territories at this
session.
The Rev. Father J. Tompkin
has been appointed postmaster of
the fourth class office at Holy
Cross on the* Yukon River. He
succeeds the Very Rev. Francis
Menager, who has removed his res
idence iftrom Holy Cross to Nome.
Bartley Howard arrived in
Washington last week, and de
parted for California after spend
ing a few days attending to basi
nets In connection with Me coal
lease.
The Delegate is>seeking to bring
Alaska farmers within the scope
of the farm loan act and he call
ed upon the Federal Farm Loan
Bureau to explain why a branch
iank has rrot been established for
he Territory as authorized hy the
-qt. The following letter was re
vived from the Bureau:
“According to the census of
930, it appears that as of October
929, there were but 500 farms in
lie Territory of Alaska,, (fompris-i
ng 525,942 acres, of which
mount only 8,825 acres had been
mproved; and that the total val-;
i© of farm lapds and buildings
iras $2,857,185, of which amount
‘1,205,643 represented the value
f the buildings. Since under the'
'arm Loan Act no loan may be I
ifade—in excess of 50 per cent of j
he appraised value of the land j
nortgaged and 20 per cent of the1
.ppraised value of th e permanent
itsured improvements thereon., the
octal loans which might be made
n that territory couM not be ex
meted to exceed $1,000,000. As 1
■ou know, the interest rate on
oans made by branch banks may '
to£ exceed by one and one half
ter centum the rate borne by the
ast preceding issue of farm loans
tonds of the Federal land bank
with which such branc bank Is
tonnected. Accordingly, the max
mum spread which a branch bank
;ould derive from Joaning opera
tions in the Territory of Alaska
would be approximately $15,000
per annum, which I am sure you
will agree would not ‘be sufficient
to defray the expenses of main
taining a branch bank in that terr
itory.
In the eiroumstances it has not
been found feasible to establish a
branch bank of a Federal land
bank in Alaska.”
Bills introduced in the last few
days by Delegate Dlmond included
one for inauguration od flood con
trol work on the Salmon River
at Hyder and another for the re
i!ef of Judge Frank A. Boyle for
injuries suffered while he was U.
S. Comissioner at Juneau.
Presidential approval was given
May 18 to the Borah bill suspend
ing assessment work on mining
claims except for those who paid
income taxes. Those who did not
pay such taxes in 1932 are not
required to perform assessment
work for the year ending July 1.
1933. 1
Assurance has been given the
Ddlega<te by the House Flood Con
trol committee that the bl! for
the flood control of the Salmon
River at Hyder will ibe *avonably
reported, which means that House
approval is almost certain. How
ever it la problematical, in view of
legislation of national importance
PUH pemdipg, -whether the mea
sure _can he pushed through the
Senate. Mr. Dimond is endeavor
ing in every way to expedite
action.
The Delegate appeared before,
the House Ways and Means com
mittee during consideration of the
S3,300,000,000 public work’s bill
and urged clarifying amendments
so that" Alaska will not sufTer, part
Icu'larly wftb respect to highway .
appropriations. There is to be
provided a maximum of S+00,000.
1)00 under the federal highway aid
system, the benefits' &f which do
not extend to Alaska Therefore
Delegate Dimond is seeking amend
ments to protect the Territory. He
has also taken the matter up wits
the chairman of the House and
3enate finance committees and with
Senator Wagner, who introduced
the Senate bill and who is as well
in formed on this type of legisla
tion as any non in the l nit*'!
States In tins, and in all otir
matters, the Delegate has found
the Washington state delegation
both in the House and Senate
most . helpful and accomodating.
