SECRETARY PAYNE'S REPORT
Need of a far-sighted Government
policy with respect to many of the
country’s internal affairs is empha
sized in the annual report of Secre
tary of the Interior John Barton
Payne, which was presented to Con
gress at the opening of the present
session. Lack of a definite aim was
said to affect particularly the ad
ministration of activities in Alaska.
The primal problem in Alaska, the
report says, is transportation, and
it advocates the operation of a Gov
ernment-owned steamship line in or
der to insure development of the ter
ritory’s resources. The service pro- i
vided by the two companies now
operating in Alaska, the secretary
says, is not satisfactory and he re-!
gards as impossible, their consolida-.
lion on any kind of a satisfactory!
basis.
The Government railroad will be
completed and in operation, the r»- \
port says, in 1922, and will tap j
fields of untold mineral wealth. The j
secretary praises the engineers for!
the progress made.
In connection with the secretary’s;
discussion of Alaskan transportation,;
Governor Higgs urges the establish-,
ment of a tonnage tax on all ship
ping to and in the territory and the
building up with the fund thus se
cured of “regular and reasonable
service upon equitable rates and
schedules.” He advocates also Gov
ernment appropriations for the con
struction of a scheme of highways to
serve as feeder wagon roads to the
Government-owned rail lines.
The question of communication al
so is one in which little progress ' as
been made and Governor Higgs in
forms Secretary Payne it is serious
ly handicapping development. Mail is
slow, being shipped as freight or
express and arriving frequently in
badly damaged condition. The gov
ernor, however, believes this is off
set in a measure by the army cable >
and naval radio service which, he
says, is being use’ disproportionate
ly with the mails.
Governor Riggs declares that in- |
toxicatmg liquor is finding its way j
into Alaska from British Columbia j
in large quantities and “bootlegging
seems to be increasing as private
.stocks of liquor are exhausted." The
governor also reports that “distilla
tion processes are becoming well
known,” adding to the menace which
he says exists. He urges, however,
that provisions of the Volstead Act
with respect to the use of whisky
for medicinal purposes be extended
to Alaska, claiming that “many lives ,
could have been saved had whisky
been available” during the emer- .
gency of the pneumonia and intluen- j,
za epidemics in the territory.
A son was born to Mr. and Mrs. |
R. C. Wood, in San Francisco, on
Saturday last.
