WICK TRIED TO
HOLD UP FUND
FOR RAILROAD
Former Delegate James Wicker
sham, who has begun a fight against
Secretary of the Interior Franklin K.
Dane, demanding that the latter with
draw from the management of the
Alaska railroad, started his fight on
the Alaska railroad February 10,
when he introduced in congress bills
and resolutions forbidding the Presi
dent authority to create any indebt
edness in connection with building
the railroad beyond the original $35,
000,000. At the same time he con
tended that the $35,000,000 would not
complete the railroad, but that it
would cost $8,000,000 or $10,000,000
more.
Did Not Help Get Appropriation
On February 23, when the appro
priation bill which carried an item of
$4,000,000 for the Alaska road was up
for consideration, former Delegate
Wickersham contended that much of
the $30,000,000 or so that had been ex
pended had been wasted, and he
launched a rather severe attack on
the railroad management. Representa
tive Swager Shirley, chairman of the
appropriations committee, asked him
if he opposed the $4,000,000 appropria
» tion. He said he did not. Shirley
then intimated that it seemed strange
that the delegate should contend in
one breath that the money was being
wasted and in the next breath urge
that $4,000,000 more be appropriated
only to be wasted.
Repudiates Former Work
■Representative Madden of Chicago,
Republican, called attention to the
glowing statements that Wickersham
had made concerning the possibilities
of the Alaska railroad when the bill
was pending making an appropriation
for it. Wickersham responded:
‘ I made a great many of the state
ments . . . referred to as glowing.
I felt in a glowing mood when
this matter was before congress at
That time. I do not have such a
healthy glow as I had then.”
All of which makes clear that Alaska
got her railroad appropriation
through congress without the aid of
Wickersham.
Shooting at Railroad
- Wickersham took two shots at the
railroad before this speech was made.
One of them was a bill and the other
a joint resolution. Both were exactly
the same. Notwithstanding that he
contended it would cost from $8,000,
000 to $10,000,000 more than the origi
nally provided $35,000,000 to complete
the railroad, both the bill and the reso
lution provide that the road should
not cost to exceed the sum specified
and that the President should not un
dertake to contract to expend any
more. In other words, the effect of
his bill and resolution would be to
permit the expenditure of $4,000,000
more and then quit work with the rail
road unfinished. It meant this or
nothing.
Terms of Wickersham’s Bill
The terms of the Wickersham bill
and resolution, which are identical,
follow:
“Be it enacted by the senate and
house of representatives of the United
Staes of America, in congress as
sembled :
“Tha Section 2 of the act of con
gress entitled ‘An act to authorize
the President of the United States to
locate, construct and operate railroads
in the1 territory of Alaska, and for
other purpose,’ approved March 12,
1914, be and the same is hereby
amended so as to read as follows:
“ ‘Sec. 2. That the cost of the
work authorized by this act shall not
exceed the sum appropriated by con
gress for that use; and in executing
the authority granted b ythis act the

THEY CALL ME PRIVATE, BUT—
In the army they call me a private.
It is a misnomed. There is nothing
private about me.
I have been examined by fifty phy
sicians and they haven’t missed a
blemish.
I have told my previous occupation
and my salary. I have confessed to
being unmarried and having no chil
dren. I have nothing in my past 'that
is not revealed. I sleep in a room
with fifty men. I eat with 350 men
and wash my kit in the same can. I
take my bath with the same company.
I wear a suit of the same material
and cut as five million others.
I have to tell where I go when I
take a walk and even then I never
see any one but soldiers—privates
like myself.
I have to tell a physician when 1
kiss a pretty girl. I never have a
moment to myself.
PRIVATE!
