CARL SCHMIDT, Assessor, School Board.
—
Further efforts on the part of
the Territory of Alaska to regulate
. steamship transportation has evi
dently been halted by Secretary
Payne, and it is announced that
Maurice Leehey, counsel, anti Rich
ard Semmes, traffic expert, have re
signed, and their resignations ac
cepted by Governor Riggs, chair
man of the Territorial Shipping:
board. The other members of the
board are: R. J. Sommers, secre
tory of the Teritory, and Terri
torial Treasurer Smith,
i Mr. Semmes declared in Seattle
recently that the work of the Ter
ritorial Shipping board had cost
822,000 and had saved the Terri
tory more than one million dollars
in advanced freight rates, which in
creased rates had been halted thru
the efforts of the board. He said
he did not know what the attitude
of Secretary Payne was toward the
; Alaska transportation problem, but
| it was his opinion if the national
■ administration took up the matter
: it would be of great benefit to the
i North.
j Governor Riggs was in Washing
ton with both Leehey and Semmes
Hast winter, soliciting support from
j Congress for territorial ocean trans
jportation. Trouble was encounter
led in getting a bill introduced along
! the lines advocated by Governor
; Riggs. Permission was asked of
j Congress for Alaska to issue $5,
1000,000 bonds for the purpose of
• placing steamers on the run between
j Puget sound and Alaska. Hearings
were held at Washington and the
territorial experts outlined the Riggs
plan.
In February, Secretary Payne
sent a committee to Seattle, headed
by Alfred H. Brooks, to report on
the Alaska situation. This commit
tee reported in favor of consolida
tion of the two American steamship
lines running from Puget Sound to
Alaska under Government regula
tion.
The Alaska Shipping board was
[created by the last territorial leg
|islature as a nonpartisan measure.
| An appropriation of $300,000 was
.provided, and the bill as signed by
.the Governor was an elastic affair,
! allowing the shipping board much
{latitude in the matter of charter
t
ling steamers. Richard Semmes, a
Seattle traffic expert, spent some
months preparing statistics on Alas
ka transportation. This data was in
part secured through courtesy of
the traffic departments of the Am
erican steamship lines operating to
Alaska. It was announced statis
tics from the Canadian Pacific line
could not be secured.
Later, at Washington, a sharp
controversy resulted between Bal
laine and Semmes. Semmes charg
ed Ballaine with conspiring with
Judge Wickersham to injure the
standing of Governor Riggs and ad
visers with Secretary Payne. Per
sonal remarks were exchanged be
fore the committee, and Semmes
charged Wickersham with being in
the employ of the Canadian inter
ests. Denying this as absolutely
untrue, Wickersham in turn charged
Leehey and Semmes with being un
der the influence of the Guggen
heim interests. Suddenly the com
mittee dropped the matter, and Sec
retary Payne started action toward
consolidation of the American lines.
Governor Riggs was silent on the
subject of territorial control of
I shipping during his visit to Seattle
recently. It is evident that the ter
ritorial scheme does not adjust with
the views of Secretary Payne, and
naturally Governor Riggs is forced
to give way in the matter. In the
meantime it is evident that the Ter
ritorial Shipping board will not be
active in the matter of securing ter
ritorial transportation.

HARDING PLEASES
‘‘I am very much pleased with
the declaration of Senator Hardin*;
favoring a 'liberal' policy for Alas
ka, in his speech accepting the Re
publican nomination for the presi
dency,” declared J. C. McBride, Re
publican national committeeman for
Alaska, in conversation recently with
a representative of the Juneau Em
pire.
“I had hoped that such a men
tion would be made,” continued Mr.
McBride, “and in fact I have bean
working to secure such a declara
tion ever since the nomination of
Senator Harding by the Chicago
convention. I began work on the
matter while I was in Seattle, and
was materially assisted by friends
of Alaska both in Seattle and other
Washington cities. Guy E. Kelly,
national committeeman for that
; state, was one of those actively in
terested.”
i
At Mr. McBride’s suggestion, Mr.
Kelly wrote a strong letter to
Chairman Will llavs, of the Re- !
. |
publican national committee, in '
j which he declared:
“As you know, Alaska is ham- .
pered and hedged about with red
tape and commissions, which have
greatly retarded, if not totally de- .
!stroyed its development in the last
: few years. I wish that you would
i undertake to communicate with Sen
i i
'ator Harding, with the suggestion
that he consider issuing a state-1
sent in which he unqualifiedly fa-.
Ivors the opening and development
!of that great Territory, and reliev- j
ling it from the very things which I
!have retarded its advancement in J
! recent years. It will help us in ;
I Washington and it is the right thing \
I to do. It will also show that Sen-!
;ator Harding has a grasp of the'•
needs of Alaskans and the Pacific:
|coast states.”
I Mr. McBride stated that the fail-.
ure of the Chicago convention to
j " i
'adopt a specific plank regarding;
! Alaskan policies was a disappoint
ment to everyone. Mr. Hazelet had
!a splendid plank prepared, but it;
■failed to go through after all the
:delegates had become tired out with :
the prolonged fight over other things. ;
I “As Alaskans, we are interested.
1 i
■ first of all in our own Territory,” i
Isaid Mr. McBride. “For this rea
son,” he added, “all of us want to
see that both of the two big par-;
; i
ties have committed themselves to j
something definite for the Terri- j
itory.” Realizing that the lack of .
jan Alaskan policy in its platform j
'was a blow to the people of Alas-1
;ka, Mr. McBride immediately got;
j busy.
i He wrote Chairman Will Hays
'himself, and urged that the defect
1 be remedied. Later, at the time of
' Mr. Hays’ first visit to Marion, Ohio,
'to hold a conference with the Re
publican nominee, Mr. McBride
[wired the former outlining a num
ber of ideas as follows:
‘On the advice of Senator Jones,
I most earnestly solicit you to pre
vail upon Senator Harding to cover
[Alaska development matter in his:
speech of acceptance. Our national;
platform is silent on Alaska. Im-;
portant matters affecting the vote j
(cast or under the influence of Alas
| kans coming November election is |
abolishment of bureaucratic and
long-range government for Alaska,
better and increased ocean and land
transportation to and in Alaska, re
establishment of adequate mail serv
ice for Territory, and opening of
vast resources, including coal, pulp
and oil.”
Most, if in fact not all of these
suggestions, were incorporated in
Senator Harding’s speech, said Mr.
McBride. He also added that he
thought that when full reports of
the address are received it will be
found that a complete liberal policy
has been outlined and endorsed by
the Republican nominee.
