THE
MUKLUK
TRAIL
(BY E. L BARTLETT)
WASHINGTON, May 1—It Is re
ported upon good authority, al
though not officially, that the
Alaska Railroad will ibe transfer
red from the Department of the
Interior to the Department of Com
merce in the proposed reorganisa
tion of government agencies. It
would toe grouped with other tran- j
sportation agencies in the new bur
eau.
Delegate Dimond projected him
self into the rough and tumble of
House debate Thursday and Fri
day of last week and succeeded in
his efforts to have Alaska includ
ed within the provisions of the
1*111 to protect owners q\f small
homes.
When Friday came the Delegate
managed *o get his amendment
through, which means that own
ers of small homes in Alaska, who
And themselves pressed in paying
for them, will be entitled to a mea
sure of relief through the Federal
Government.
Mr. Dimond spoke on the amend
ment for several minutes and when
he had finished with his argument
there was no objection to its ad
option.
Moving to fulfill his home rule
campaign pledges, Delegate Di
mond has introduced in Congress
measures giving Alaskans admin
istrative control over-.the vital re
sources of -fish and fur-bearing an
imals.
He does not expect passage n*
fither during the special session,
which is confined to 'adminatrative
measures, (but. will press vigorously
for their enactment when the spec
ial session opens in December.
The bills are broad in scope.
No atempt is made to say what the
new set-up shall torf* It is the be
lief of tl^e Delegate that it is not
within th^ province of any man to
do that, tout rather that Alaskans
themselves should determine the
course they want to pursue thru
their duly elected representatives
to the legislature. Provision is
made for the calling of a special
session of the legislature, should
such a course toe deemed necess
ary.
In the fisheries measure con
trol over the fur seal and sea ot
ter fisheries woud toe left to the
federal goverment. •Jn connection
with exemption of seal fisheries
from Territorial jurisdiction there
is one section that will be tremen
dously Important in defraying the
coat of administrating!. It provid
es that one-half of the net pro
ceeds of the United 8tates Govern
ment from sale of seal skins shall
be turned over to the Territory to
defray coat of administrating other
llsheriee.
Another Important section which
will go far to save the Territory
money sete forth that “Any and
all property of <the United States
under the supervision and control
of the United States^ureau of
Fisheries heretofore or now used
exclusively In connection with the
administration, supervision and
control of the fisheries of Alaska,
or so much thereof as may be re
quested by the Governor of the
Territory of Alaska, for us* In
connection with the administra
tion of said fisheries by the Terr
itory, shall be transferred by the
Secretary of Commerce to the Terr
itory of Alaska, such transfer to
'be made only--after the adminstra
tton of said fisheries is accepted
by the Territory of Alaska in the
manner hereinabove provided."
The fur bill is briefer. It mere
ly provides that legislative con
trol is transferred from the Fed
eral government to the Territory
and thatt all appropriations avail
able for the protection of the Fame
and fur-bearing animals of Alaska
shall be disbursed under the sup
ervision of the Governor.
From his hospital bed Delegate
Dimond intends to dictate a de
tailed statement to be presented to
the Labor Committee and setting
forth why the five-day week, six
hour day bill should not apply to
Alaska. He had intended, of cou
rse, to testify in person but now
that is impossible he Is still deter
mined to place before the commit
tee the facts in the case.
