OFFICE OF A. J. DIMOND
Delegate from Alaska
(By J. J. ECKLES)
Secretary to the Delegate
(Continued From Yesterday)
Proposed legislation authoriz
ing the Secretary of War to cre
dit moneys received for services
rendered by the Alaska Commun
ications System to the appropria
tion provided for operation of the
system. Provision is also made
authorizing a charge for services
rendered by the system to other
Federal departments or offices in
the bill.
The bill was reintroduced that
would provide for medical exam
ination of injured employees of
the Alaska Railroad by physicians
not in the employ of the Alaska
Railroad and which also provides
for right of appeal to the Em
ployees’ Compensation Commis
sion over the decision of the gen
eral manager of the Alaska Rail
road on injury compensation
claims.
To encourage and protect the
establishment of the wood pulp
industry in Alaska, Delegate Di
mond introduced and is urging
enactment of a bill providing a
tax on imported wood pulp and
pulpwood and products manufac
tured therefrom. The roposed tax
is $2 per cord on pulpwood, $7.50
per ton on unbleached chemical
wood pulp, $10 per ton on bleach
ed chemical wood pulp, and $4.50
per ton on mechanically ground
wood pulp. Manufactured pro-1
ducts would be taxed as based on
the tonnage of ground wood pulp
or chemical wood pulp used in
their manufacture.
A bill amending the “Act to
reserve lands to the Territory of
Alaska for educational uses, and
for other purposes”, approved
March 4, 1915, has been intrduc
ed by the Delegate to reserve
sections numbered 33 in each
townsite in the Territory for the
support of the University of Al
aska. The original Act provides
that sections numbered 16 and 36
in every township be reserved for
the support of the common
schools in Alaska, and that sec
tions numbered 33 in the Tanana
Valley be reserved for the sup
port of the Agricultural College
and School of Mines, now the
University of Alaska. Enactment
of this measure will mean the
reservation of sections numbered
33 throughout Alaska for the sup
port of the University.
Another bill introduced for fur
therance of education in Alaska
authorizes the sale of timber and
mineral products from the sec
tions in each township reserved
for the support of the common '
schools.
The bill introduced to amend
the Act to authorize municipal
corporations in Alaska to incur
bonded indebtedness is to clarify
that part of the Act prescribing
the requirements of the balloting
to determine whether bonded in
debtedness shall be incurred or
not.
Proposed legislation to provide
that persons of one-fourth o'r
more Indian blood who are 65
years of age and in need shall re
ceive a Federal pension in an
amount not to exceed $30.00 per
month has been reintroduced by
the Delegate. It seems clear
that if the Territory enacts the
necessary cooperative legislation
required for extension of the Soc
ial Security Act to Alaska, the
Indians and Eskimos will be eli
gible for pension under that Act.
However, enactment of this bill
will remove considerable finan
