A GOOD FROGRAM.
One of the Republican dubs ol
Anchorage has answered the requesl
of George C. Hazelet for a program
for Alaskan development for sub
mission to the platform committee
of the Republican national commit
tee and has submitted the follow
ing: 1, full territorial form, of gov
ernment with a board of adminis
tration located in Alaska to have
charge over the natural resources;
2, early completion of Uic Govern
ment railroad and a sysitem of wag
on roads and trails; 3, more liberal
laws for the development of coal
lands; 4, relief for gold mining; 5,
protection for the fisheries; 6, im
mediate improvement of mail serv
ice; 7, extension of lighthouse serv
ice and aids to navigation; 8, en
couragement to pulp .industry; 9, re
peal of laws for the protection of
predatory animals in Alaska.
The program is constructive,
comments the Democratic Alaska
(Juneau) Daily Empire, and one
that all parties in Alaska should
make a part of their platforms.
The Empire is particularly pleased
that full territorial form of govern
ment is put first, and that coupled
with it is an endorsement of the
Lane development board plan. They
are in their proper place.
WHITES WELCOMED.
“It should be a matter of inter
est to every one to know that the
Alaska natives have not severely
resented the coming of the white
man to Alaska, but have been his
guide to practically every mineral
deposit of consequence now being
developed in the Territory,” says
Arthur H. Miller, superintendent of
Alaska native schools.
“A speaker,” continued Mr. Mili
er, “stated in an interesting talk
to the Anchorage Chamber of Com
merce recently, that the Kanata na
tives of the Kanata village on tin
shore of Shelikoff straits, led tin
prospectors to the paraffin deposit
and oil seepages of the Cold Ba>
oil fields.
"The copper mines of the Coppei
river and many deposits of placei
gold have been pointed out to whiti
men by Alaska natives.
“When we take into eonsideratioi
the millions of dollars' worth o
furs and fish caught by the Alaski
natives and bartered or sold to thi
whites for a song, we realize thi
truth of the statement made by om
of the governors of the Territor;
that, ‘The natives of Alaska are :
distinct asset to the Territory’.”
LET’S GO TO ALASKA.
Or preconceived notion of Alas
ka, says the Pontiac (Illinois) Lead
er, is that it i<- a place where yoi
tal e a chance of having some par
of your anatomy frozen stiff if yoi
centure out of doors, but in a pape
dated February 10 iust receive
from Juneau, the capital of Alaska
we read that “the coldest w'-athe
experienced during the present win
ter. according to climatological dat
kept by the United States weathe
bureau, was three degrees abov
zero, rior has ‘below zero’ been re
icorded in any noin. in Southeastern
i Alaska. Ir. Southeastern k las'ia ■
j there has been more sunshine and
jless rain thus far, ‘uring the winter
month?, and all indication, point to
an early spring.”
We wonder how some of those
fellows up in Alaska would have
stood the rigorous winter weather
| we have enjoyed this season. All
we car, make of .t is that the weath
er man shifted our regular climate
to Alaska this year. Undoubtedly
'that robin, which it is alleged sho'.v
ed himself here the her day, mere
ly rested for few minutes on his
way to "North of GO.”
THE ^XPAYER REVOLTS.
America was willing to go to the
limit in fighting Germany, but re
ports of criminal extravagance and
wastefulness by the Government
idon’' it wed with the average cit
i izen, struggling under taxes the
i highest this country has ever known.
The report of the senate com
mittee 'which investigated the work
,of the United States Housing cor
iporation, points out the editor of
j Leslie’s Weeklly, is a scathing in
jdietment of extravagance. Buildings
.of a permanent character were al
most invariably erected, although the
I original act provided for temporary
i - -
: buildings as a general rule, and per
jmanent structures only when they 1
|would best serve the Government’s
i interest. Furnishings included elec
tric door openers, and i n some in
stances garages. Architects were
employed on' work in distant parts'
j i
.of the country, the Government pay- |
,ing all traveling and incidental ex J
:penses. It was found, too, by this!
: bi-partisan senate committee, that
.bids were never publicly opened,
and that no one whose bid had been
rejected knew what the proposal of
i
the successful bidder was.
A house committee investigating
.war expenditures establishes the fact
that automobiles worth more than
.535,000,000 were allowed to go to
ruin through exposure to the weath
;er at the motor transport corps
I base at Vernuil, France, and that
' 3,500 motorcycles, after being placed
'.in perfect repair, were parked out
1 of doors at the same place until
.they became useless junk. The ex
i posure of such criminal wasteful
' ness should be followed by exposure
i
‘ and punishment of the officials who
‘ were responsible for it. The long
-suffering taxpayer is rightfully sore
>;at being compelled to pay for the
r ‘millions of dollars’ worth of proper1
i ty that has been thus wasted.
! AUSTRIAN CHAOS.
| Americans who may sometimes be
- dissatisfied with the telephone, tele
-:graph or postal service in America
i 'should go to Austria if they want
t jto see a really disorganized mean?
i of communication.
r So demoralized is the telephone
1 service of Vienna that a great mass
, I meeting of business men was held
r recently and the demand was made
- that this service be taken from the
i government bureaucracy and turned
r over to private control.
It is almost impossible to get
- central and, once secured, the line
is usually cut after less than one
minute’s conversation. The tele
phone employes claim they are over
worked, undernourished, and the
whole equipment run down. The
minister of communications admit
ted to the mass meeting that the
telephone and post and telegraph
systems generally had failed and
that the postoffice had paid more
than 15,000,000 crowns last year
for stolen packages. Armed guards
are now placed on all mail transport.
The worst factor in the situation
is declared to be inability of officials
to enforce discipline under the pres
ent government, where various coun
cils of workmen and soldiers op
erate to make the employes lax and
independent.
MONTANA STOCKMEN ARE
OFFERING WOLF BOUNTY
WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS,
Mont..—The stockmen’s association
here has offered a bounty of $100

with the state bounty and the price
brought by the skin, brings wolves
from $125 to $150, according to
the value of the hide. Ravages of
the beasts have become increasing
ly expensive.
Travelers from Talkeetna report
that there are oil possibilities along
the Yentna river. Oil seepages, oil
shales and sands have been found
there.
