MERITS REAL
Dr. E. Lester Jones, chief of the
United States Coast and Geodetic Sur
vey, thinks it a criminal offense for
his department to be compelled to
operate the class of boats he Is provid
ed with for the great work of charting
the waters of Alaska. Among other
pertinent things he says:
It is beyond my comprehension that
a federal government which has laws
that make it a criminal offense to pro
vide unsafe and improperly equipped
privately o^ed vessels, would permit
federal officials to man and operate
these unsafe and otherwise inefficient
Drafts that should be, in some in
stances consigned to the scrap heap,
it is asking too much of our officers
and men, who have already established
i high standard of loyalty and effici
ency, to jeopardize their lives on these
vessels. They are a brave set of men
tnd have no superiors In the world,
rhey act as navigators, engineers, pay
masters and surveyors, and I protest
igainst the injustice of asking these
men, who are themselves looking for
langers with the idea of protecting the
ives of thousands of people, besides
millions of dollars in property to live
>n vessels that are unfit for any ser
vice and which endanger their own
ives.
I can assure you that one of my big
5est efforts will be not only the literal
carrying out, as far as our own vessels
ire cAucerned, of all the provisions of
[he federal laws; but I want the stand
ard so high that we are fully comply
ing with all the provisions of the
steamboat inspection regulations so
that our boats are (t little safer
and more efficient than those belong
ing to the merchant marine
When I was in Alaska in 1914, and
noted the excitement <ln reference to
the plans for the new federal railroad
for which Congress appropriated $35,
000,000 (and which no doubt is a great
step toward bringing stability and per
manency of commerce, and a class of
people that are desirable as citizens of
that great territory); I could not help
seeing equally, if not with greater
forces, that the real success of the ter
ritory was dependent upon the safety
of her waters. Alaska can never fully
develop until her waterways, w-hich
are real gateways to commerce, are
safe to human life and property.
I hope that a large majority are
awakening to this fact and I am con
strained to believe that CongreB, with
the facts more clearly placed before It,
is going to provide a sufficient sum
to give the Coast and Geodetic Survey
the necessary funds to put this work
on the broad basis it deserves.
