SANITATION BILL
CAMPS
RAILROAD
BEFORE CONGRESS
The tollowing bill to confer addi
tional authority upon the president
of the United States in the construc
tion of the Alaskan railroad passed
the Senate on May 15 and when in
troduced in the House was referred
to the committee on territories,
where it is now having hearings:
Be it enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress
assembled. That in connection with
and during the construction of the
Alaskan railroad, under the provi
sions of the act of Congress ap
proved March 12th, 1914, entitled
"An Act to authorize the President
of the United States to locate, con
i struct and operate railroads in the
’ Territory of Alaska, and ior other
purposes, the president is hereby au
thorized and empowered to make and
promulgate such quarantine and san
itary rules and regulations as shall
be necessary to preserve the public
health along and in the vicinity of
said railroad while being construct
ed, or located by survey, and within
town sites established, or to be es
tablished, under and pursuant to said
Act of March 12th, 1914: Provided,
That this shall not apply to incor
porated towns.
Sec. 2. That such rules and regu
, lations shall become effective on a
date to be named in proclamation of
the President promulgating same,
and any person violating any such
rules or regulations, or any of them,
shall be deemed guilty of a misde
meanor. and shall, upon conviction
thereof in the courts of Alaska, be
fined not more than $500 or be im
prisoned not more than one year, or
both.
The following is a part of Delegate
Wickersham’s statement before the
i committee at Washington in refer
ence to sanitary regulations in
Alaska:
"I think every member of this
! committee knows how anxious I am
to see the Alaskan railroad built and
to see it built successfully and well,
and certainly every member of the
committee will understand that I
want good order and good quaran
tine and sanitary conditions along
the line of the railroad in the mean
time. Nobody here, neither the
chairman of the Alaskan Engineer
ing Commission nor the Secretary of
the Interior, can can wish for better
conditions along the railroad than I
do, and if anything is necessary to
bring about that sort of a condition
along the line of that road I want it
done. I don’t think anything is nec
essary. Now, of course, the bill be
fore the committee has been very
greatly modified since I made my
first objection to it. The word 'po
lice' has been stricken out, and it is
now' said the Commission does not
wish the authority to make police
regulations for the government of
the people along the line of the road
and in the townsites, but they will
let that go. Other amendments have
been made in the bill, so finally it
has got down to a proposition of
. giving tne President authority to
make quarantine and sanitary regu
lations far the government of the
localities along the line of this road,
with a penal clause attached so the
persons violating the law may be
punisued if they violate them. Now,
Mr. Chairman, 1 have been trying to
get good government established in
Alaska. I have been doing every
thing i could to get a local govern
ment established in Alaska under
• the usual form applicable to our ter
ritories. and I am meeting with a
i great deal of difficulty.
"I am doing what I can to extend
the American plan of government in
Alaska, and I am continually meet
ing with these attempts to switch in
there from evbry bureau in Wash
ington the power for that bureau to
make regulations for the govern
ment of so much of the country that
| comes under its jurisdiction, and the
bill before the committee is another
one of the usual attempts. There
are a half dozen of them pending
before the house committees now.
The fisheries bureau has two or
three bills of this nature seeking to
i get control of all the fisheries of
i Alaska, and they have bills, not only
in the Senate but in the House, for
the repeal of so much of the organic
1 act of the territory of Alaska as
gives the territorial legislature the
right even to levy taxes upon the
fisheries of Alaska. Seeking to take
| over to the bureau of fisheries the
| right of control over them and the
power to levy taxes upon them. I
am opposed to that system. There
are several attempts of this kind be
fore the committees now; this is
, merely another one.
I I imagine the members of this
, committee will say. All that is the
| oretical and not--practical. If this
authority is needed to prevent the
spread of disease and epidemics
along the line of this road and to
control sanitary conditions, we will
give it to the President, and no harm
will come of it.’ The bill, of course,
Is not as bad as it was to start on.
But having eliminated the power
which I think they wanted, which is
the right to make police rules and
regulations, and asking now only for
the right to control sanitation and
quarantine, I' think I can show the
committee they don’t need it. Of
course, there has been a strike on
this railroad recently and consider
able contention between the Alaskan
Engineering Commission and the
labor organizations over wages, and
if this bill had been passed the way
it was introduced there would have
been no difficulty for the Alaskan
Engineering Commission to have
formulated rules and regulations
signed by the President which would
have given them drastic control over
the labor situation there. It would
have gone much further than that,
but whether that was the purpose of
putting the word ‘police’ in the bill,
they know better than I do.”
