Alaska Railroad
Not Party Issue,
Says Delegate
In a speech before the Seattle Com
mercial club, delivered recently, Dele
gate Wickersham said, as reported in
the Post-Intelligencer:
, “The Alaska railroad is a non-par
tisan business proposition. Both the
republican and democratic parties are
pledged to carry on the project and
both are in honor bound to see it to a
successful finish.”
This was the statement of Judge
James Wickersham, delegate in con
gress from Alaska, at the Commercial
club yesterday.
At the speaker’s table with Judge
Wickersham was Will H. Parry, Seat
tle’s member of the federal trade com
mission, who in 1914, as a member of
the Alaska bureau of the Seattle
Chamber of Commerce, did important
work at Washington in securing the
passage of the railroad bill.
William F. Eckart, president of the
Commercial club, was chairman of the
meeting and introduced Judge Wick
ersham.
“I know that you people here in Se
attle have a deep interest in Alaska
and in the railroad now building,” said
Judge Wickersham. “Our interests
are closely related. What benefits
Alaska necessarily benefits Seattle
and we share to some extent in the
benefits of your increasing import
ance. You realize as well as I that
nothing has been done so far half so
important to the development of Alas
ka as the building of the railroad.
Project Nonpartisan.
“The Alaska railroad is a nonpar
tisan business proposition. It is in no
wise a political issue. Both the re
publican and the democratic parties
are pledged to carry on the project
and both are in honor bound to see
it to a successful finish.
It is being constructed under Sec
retary Lane, a man of broad mind and
a true westerner. It is not import
ant that he is a democrat. President
Wilson has gone on record as favoring
the project and his word is good. He
is a big, broad-minded statesman and
a patriotic man.
Vote for Hughes.
“Notwithstanding what I say about
the breadth and the ability of these
men, I would not have you understand
that I’m going to vote the democratic
ticket, for I shall vote for Charles E.
Hughes.
“I believe that the Alaska railroad
is just as safe with Charles E. Hughes
as with Woodrow Wilson. I do not
believe that Hughes or Wilson would
be small enough to strike down Alas
ka.
“In 1908, when I was elected dele
gate from Alaska for the first time, I
had in my platform a pledge to do ev
erything in my power to secure the
passage of a bill to build a govern
ment railroad from the south shore to
the Yukon river. For four terms I
have been the representative of Alas
ka in congress, and that road is now
building. I will show you from the
records that I hold in my hand that
republicans and democrats were
equally in favor of that road.”
Republican Effort Shown.
Judge Wickersham then read from
the message of President Taft, sent
to congress February 2, 1912, recom
mending that the government build a
trunk line railroad and suggesting the
appointment of a commission to inves
tigate the project.
“In that message President Taft
put himself squarely on record as be
ing in favor of what is now being
done” said Judge Wickersham.
Subsequently a bill was passed cre
ating the Alaska railroad commission
and was approved by President Taft.
The commission investigated the
routes and made its report, which was
sent to congress, with a message fiom
President Taft, who urged its earnest
consideration.
History of Bills.
“Later, when the democratic admin
istration came in, we had these re
ports to go on,” said Judge Wicker
sham. “Preriient Wilson called a
special session of congress, which
convened April 7, 1913. Prior to that
I had prepared a bill providing for the
building of a government railroad in
Alasak. I prepared the bill in dupli
cate and gave one copy to Senator
Chamberlain, of Oregon. At the same
hour Senator Chamberlain introduced
his bill in the senate, and it became
senate bill 48, I introduced my bill in
the house an! it became house bill
1739. Hearings were held on the bills
before the committees of the house
and senate, and on May 24 I obtained
from Secretary Lane a letter strong
ly indorsing the railroad project. Af
ter the hearings had been finished
President Wilson, on December 6,
1913, announced that he was for the
measure.
Both Parties Responsible.
might take the message of President
I Taft and the message of President
| Wilson and compare them. You would
find a striking similarity of languages
and of thought.
“As I said before, the Alaska rail
road was non-partisan then and it is
non-partisan now. The plan originat
ed with a republican administration.
The bill was passed by a democratic
administration. Both parties are in
honor bound to see the project carrier1
out. ' \
“I say this because, whoever tri«
to make a partisan matter of it seek/
to destroy it. It is just as certaif
. that it will go forward if Hughes if
elected as it is if Wilson is elected.
There is no party politics in the ques
tion.
“There may be persons who don’t
want the road built, but it is neither
Hughes nor Mr. Wilson. If certain
transportation companies are not in
favor of building the road, it will bt
well to vyatch them, but as there is
no reason to believe that either politi
cal party will oppose ahe Alaska rail
road, the question has no business be
ing mixed with politics.”
INCOME RETURNS FROM \
ALASKA ENCOURAGING^
- #J
(Juneau Dispatch).
C. Estes, special internal reve;!
agent, who has been making inve.'
gations under the income tax law
channel towns for the past thr
weeks leaves on the City of Sea(
today for towns in the southern pc
tion of this division.
Mr. Estes states that the incom)
returns from southeastern Alaska a
most encouraging to the departme
that there seems to be very little
any dereliction, on the part of tin
being required under the law to make
sworn returns to the collector of in
ternal revenue.
Under the direction of the various
revenue agents over the United
States a large force of special inves
tigators have been engaged in veri
fying income tax returns. Many mil
lions of dollars have been paid into
the treasury of the United States as
a result of this systematic investi
gation under the income tax law.
The amended law, now under con
sideration by congress, wherein it is
proposed to lower the exemptions
will Mr. Estes thinks, be enacted be
fore adjournment of the present con- j
gress. This will cause many addi
tional returns to be made, thus mate
rially augmenting the large fund
which has so far been derived under
the provisions of the existing law.
During his operations here Mr. Es
tes was a guest at the Gastineau ho
tel.
