ALASKA HOADS
PROVIDED FOR
BY AMENDMENT
WASHINGTON—"Congratulate you
most sincerely on securing passage of
estimate by house of appropriation
for Alaska military and post roads
and in geting amendment authorizing
future estimates. This last is most,
important thing for Alaska in long
time. If present estimate could be in
creased in senate it would bp great
benefit to work already constructed
and now in progress.”
So wired Brigadier General Wilds
P. Richardson from his post at Camp
Bouregard, Louisiana, to Hon. Cha3. A.
Sulzer, delegate from Alaska, when he
learned that the house of represen
tatives had passed the military appro
priation bill, carrying with it $100,000
for Alaska roads and trails, and in
cluding an amendment introduced by
Delegate Sulzer, providing that the
secretary of war be authorized to make
estimates for the work to be carried
on by the Alaska road commission.
By adoption of this amendment it will
be impossible in the future for any
member of congress to have the item
for road building thrown out on a
point of order, as was done several
times in former years.
Obstacle to Road Appropriation
From the organization of the Alaska
road commission up to the present
' time, the secretaries of war, year
after year, at the earnest solicitation
of Brigadier General Wilds P. Rich
ardson, made estimates for road work
in Alaska and asked congress to ap
propriate sums varying from $100,000
to $500,000. This was done notwith
standing the fact that there was no
congressional authorization for such
appropriations. Each year the road
commission was in fear of having the
item stricken from the military bill
on a point of order, and several times
this was done, but, fortunately, always
I was restored later by the senate. In
view of this circumstance and the fear
that the appropriations would not be
made, the Alaska road commission at
all times was handicapped to the
extent that it could not plan ahead,
even though it had tho approval of the
war department, and could not con
tract for supplies or anticipate atijr
funds until the appropriation was ac
tually made.
For years the road commission
wanted congress to make provision to
authorize these estimates but was un
able to secure this result until Del.
egate Sulzer succeeded in getting
through the amendment on the floor of
«
the house, and in the face of some op
, position, which at times threatened to
be serious or positively fatal.
Department Shuts Dbwn
In 1917 the war department asked
for an appropriation of $600,000 for
building roads and trails and for main
taining those already constructed in
Alaska. When the matter came before
the house, in the military appropria
tion bill, the road appropriation was
stricken out on a point of order. After
an uphill campaign among his sena
torial friends, Mr. Sulzer succeeded in
having the item restored in the sen
ate and the money ultimately became
available. But the point of order had
its serious effect, for the secretary of
war served notice on the president
of the road commission that he would
refuse in the future 'to make any es
timate for road work in Alaska except
to ask for such funds as might be
necessary for maintaining the exist
ing roads and trails.
The present secretary of war was
greatly discouraged by the continued
opposition to the road appropriation
and had reached a point where bo was
almost ready to disapprove the con
tinuance of any work along this line
by the department.
In making his estimates for the fis
cal year 1919, Secretary Baker asked
for only $100,000 for maintenance, an
amount entirely inadequate to carry
on the work which the road commiss
--- -W=i!=S
Ion hop«t to carry on, and vlrtuallyf
prohibiting the undertaking of any
new work; ,
The amondttteht whleh Mr. Sulzer
introduced and which the house
adopted, reads:
"Wovidhd, That hereafter, so long
as the construction and maintenance
of 'military roads and poet’ roads hi
Alaska, and of other roads, bridges,
and trails in that territory shall re
main under the direction of the sec
retary of war, he be authorized to
submit sucb estimates for the con
sideration of congress as are, in his
judgment, necessary for a proper
prosecution of the work.”
In appearance the amendment docs
not seem of such great Importance,
yet it means a very great deal to the
development of the territory of Alaska,
General Richardson and other people
interested point out. For, it is be
lieved that the department will not
hesitate next year to ask for such
amounts as the Alaska road commis
sion may desire.
As this amendment was in fact new
legislation, and as the House, under
the rules, could not properly take up
this matter it was with difficulty that
the delegate succeeded in securing fa
vorable consideration . It was only
through a personal canvass and so- ,
licitation of the chairman of the mili
tary committee and other friends that
Mr. Sulzer succeeded. And his suc
cess may well be considered as sub
stantial evidence of the high rgard
and esteem in which he is held
among not only the majority but also
the minority leaders, any one of whom
could have killed the measure by
raising a point of order.
Appropriation May Be Increased
Now that ho has disposed of the
matter of securing the insertion of
this emendment. Delegate Sulzer is
devoting his attention to securing a
larger appropriation at this session
of congress. The bill has been passed
by the house, but he hopes to secure
an increase in the senate, so that more
than $100,000 will be available in the
national treasury for the road work(
in the North.
Whether or not he will be success
ful cannot be known until the mill-i
tary appropriation bill is finally dis-j
posed of, but the delegate has some
assurance from Senator Chamberlain
and other good friends of Alaska that
lead him to hope for favorable ac
tion. .
THE NURSE SLAYERS
By Charles B. Driscoll
The Huns came swooping from the
sky;
They know no fear tonight;
They drop their bombs where sick
men lie.
Then wheel away in flight.
They kill a nurse, they wound a nun,
They make the dying bleed;
And Wilhelm cries: “My boys you’ve
done
A brave and gallant deed!”
“Forward with God! If you can toss
A ton of T N T
Into a school, the Iron Cross
Shall pay your bravery!”
Poor Germany! The ages long
’Twixt now and Judgment day
Shall not obliterate this wrong,
Nor wipe your crimes away!
Not all the tears that you shall shed
In that long, inky night
That’s looming for you just ahead
Can wash your red hands white!
