BUILD THAT ROAD
-x
Actual work cannot start on
the International Highway be
fore the route has been survey
ed and without doubt appropria
tions will be made for the sur
vey.
When actual work is started on
the road, it will be a godsend to
the Territory. The seasonal oc
cupation is not sufficient to care
for all of the labor of the Terri
tory. Conditions due to poor
managemnet of the fisheries has
made it so that the average Al
askan cannot earn sufficient to
make ends, meet which in turn
V'Orks a hardship on the resident
business.
Construction of the highway
will take pare of much of this
need and will follow along the
industrial .program as outlined
by President. Hoover. The hope
is that the work will be speeded
up.

DANGERS FROM FEDERAL
CENTRALIZATION
By Senatoi‘ David I. Walsh, Mass.
Speech before the Senate
One of the most important
pioblems confronting the Am
erican people today is to prevent
the absorption of the States by
ihe Federal. Government and to
make local life real, to revivify
the States, and to awaken the
—S-.i... iniaiif ■■ nil ifiMfci ii ilMin iHi ■Ini
^deadened spirit, so that it will
'lead to virile, intelligent, patri
otic, and successful self-govern
ment. There must be an asser
tion of sovereignty by the States
which be more than anemic re
ilexes of the Federal Govern
ment. Individuals and States
must derive their strength as
plants from the soil. Their nu
trition that will give vitality
mental, intellectual, and political
--must come from within the
States and not from without.
Mr. Lincoln in his first mes
sage to Congress stated:
“To maintain inviolate the
rights of the States to order and
control,. under the Constitution,
their own affairs by their owi^
judgment, and exclusively, is
essential for the preservation of
hat balance of power on which
our institutions rest.”
In a letter to Joseph Cabal
Jefferson asked, “What has de
stroyed the liberty and rights of
man in every government which
has ever existed under the sun
The generalizing and concen
trating all cares and powers into
one body, no matter whether ol
the autocrats of Russia or France
or of the aristocrats of a Vene
tian Senate.”
There is no more importan:
question before the American
people than that involved in the
preservation of the States in al
their vigor, authority, and power
If the States are compounded in
to a general mass, if they ceas<
to be sovereign and supreme ir
their domestic concerns, then ou
form of government is destroyed
That there are forces at work
undermining the States, weaken
ing their authority and destroy
ing their prestige, no one car
deny. It is treasonable to at
tack the sovereignty of thr
States as it would be to mak
war upon the Federal Govern
ment. Local self-governmen
lies at the very foundation of a
free country. It is one of the
most precious of our heritages.
“It is the school in which inde
pendence and liberty were bred.”
This is not a question of bring
ing to life a dead States rights
doctrine; it is dealing with a
fundamental question of politic
al science. The question of lo
cal self-government and the
principle of the sovereignty of
the States is not a dead issue. It
is one of the most vital problems
n our body politic. These Unit
ed States cover a vast territory,
possessing every variety of soil
nd climate and inhabited by
lillions of people, many of whom
ome from other lands. They
have different physical environ
ments and varied historical
conditions. They have different
' ustoms, manners, and thoughts.
While essentially one people
along purely national lines, there
are differences, as there should
be and must be if local govern
ment survives and individualism
is preserved.”
