THE PERNICIOUS ACTIVITIES OF
MAJOR RICHARDSON
One of the most Interesting sec- j
tlons of the expose of the Beverldge
Mil in Hampton's magazine is that
which deals with Major \V. P. Rich- j
ardson, whoso pernicious interference
in behalf of the bill so disgusted and
enraged his many acquaintances
throughout Alaska. Hampton's deals
with the Major without gloves, as
the following excerpts will show:
"It was very well understood that
undtr the authority to name at least
one army officer, the President would
place on the council Major W. P.
Richardson, now chairman of the Alas
ka Koad Commission. This frank ac
ceptance of Major Richardson, not
onJy as a prospective member, but as
the most potent member of the coun
cil. makes especially important what
ever indicates Major Richardson's at
titude toward Alaskan development.
Wherefore It is interesting to know
that Major Richardson is credited
with being the progenitor of another
Alaskan bill.
"Major Richardson has had fine op
portunity to study Alaska's needs at
at close range. As a pioneer and one
of the most powerful government of
ficials In the territory, he has long
been the intimate friend of D. H.
Jarvis, chief representative of the
Morgan-Guggenheim interests in Alas
ka. Likewise he is a political and
personal friend of L. P. Shackleford.
Republican national committeeman
for Alaska Who has been the
most potent force in distributing Al
askan patronage under the present ad
ministration.

"To return to the hearings before
the committee on territories. Major
Richardson, appeared under the or
ders of President Taft in support of
the "administration measure." The
.Major, as a matter of fact, was simp
ly obeying orders, for he had de
clared months before, in a pubHc
-statement at Fairbanks, in favor of
an ELECTIVE legislature, whereas
this 'administration measure' provided
for a legislative council to be appoint
ed by the President. A good soldier
obeys orders; and when Major Rich
ardson was told to argue for the AP
POINTIVE council, he did as he was
ordered.
"Judge Wickersham stated before
the committee that .Major Richard
son had brought to him and asked
him to Introduce a bill which be
came known as the Richardson bill
for the appointment of an Alaskan
railway commission, composed of
three army officers, with unlimited
powers in dealing with railroads.
"The idea that natural resources
are of value chiefly for the purpose
of donating them to railroad corpor
ations is illumined by an especially
important provision of this so called
Richardson bill. This provision is
that any railroad corporation having
a concession under the act. to build
a road to or through any coal fields
may select 5,000 acres of coal lands,
not already owned by bona fide lo
cators. and secure it at $10 per acre.
The price, of course, would be the
merest bagatelle.
"It would be equivalent to turning
over to a group of enterprising men
a set of plates with which to print
government bonds, and then giving
them, every time they had printed
a million or so of bonds, a 5,000 acre
tract of coal lands as a bonus!
"Can you think of a neater way
to make a vast fortune?
"Major Richardson denied the auth
orship of this measure But when
matters got complicated In Washing
ton. when charges of Improper activ
ity and lobbying were made against
I him, the Major wrote a letter to Sec- ,
retary of War Dickinson, admitting :
authorship of the paragraph providing
for donating the coal lauds in haudy
blocks of 5.000 acres to the railroads. ,
Anyhow, whether he wrote all or only
the worst parts of it. Major Richard- t
son sought to get it introduced."
