FORESTRY CHIEF
SUGGESTS SLASH
ROADS IN ALASKA
—
! SUTHERLAND INDIGNANTLY PRO
TESTS CUT OF ALASKA
ROAD APPROPRIATION
WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 20.(/P)
—W. E. Greely, United States Fores
ter in Chief, before the House Roads
Committee today suggested to cut the
annual Federal appropriation for
roads in the National forests of Alas
ka to $200,000 from $460,000 for the
years 1928-29.
Delegate Dan A. Sutherland from
Alaska, opposing the suggestion, de
clared it would be discriminating
against Alaska and said “Alaska seems
to be a great object for economy by
Congressmen, but wait until some ap
propriation for the Panama Canal aris
es, and you’ll find no demand for eco
nomy. Alaska has no Senators or
Representatives, and has no vote in
Congress.”
When Congressman Hudspeths, de
mocrat of Texas, asked why Alaska
didn’t make efforts to secure great in
terests, and using them to help more
in Alaska’s developments, Sutherland
said: “A great howl would be raised
then about discouraging capital. Our
legislature doesn’t dare assess these
corporations heavily. Nearly every
tax imposed is fought to the Supreme
court. Our power is very limited.”
Sutherland added that he opposed
excessive taxation by the territory and
blamed the recent visit of Represen
tatives Free and Treadway to Alaska
for the agitation over economy.
Greeley said Alaska is sharing in
the National forest road funds on the
same basis as the states, and said the
Alaska system is much further ahead
than any of the regions containing Na
tional forests. He also said: “I be
lieve the Government should adopt a
vigorous policy to develop Alaska
.which can’t be planned on the same
basis as the States, but should follow
a more liberal plan.”
The prospects are good he said, for
a growth of pulp and paper, minerals
and fisheries of Alaska. He aserted
the Government should be able to give
Alaska the needed roads promptly, and
said while he favored cutting the Na
tional forest appropriation for two
years, he opposed a permanent de
crease.
Sutherland said Alaska needed make
shift roads and bridges more than ex
pensive roads around the towns. The
government’s building, he said of
roads and bridges are required in the
mineral belts, where miners had no
way of getting supplies in or our ex
cept on their backs.
Thomas H. McDonald, head of the
bureau of public roads said dirt roads
will do, but that it was necessary to
build gravel roads in Southeastern Al
aska on account of the heavy rainfall.
He defended the program of the for
estry bureau. Sutherland interrupt
ed him and said the Ketchikan proj
ect was built thru rock and that he
resented McDonald’s statement re
garding Alaska’s panhandle district
when McDonald stated it was “large
ly all marsh land.”

Looking Ahead!
Alaskan progress of the past forecasts the future greatness of
the NorthBand, and justifies all Alaskans in holding to their firm faith
in the Territory's possibilities and worth. By aiming high and
working together—actively and steadily—those having to do with
Alaskan progress can accomplish much. Looking ahead to still
greater things, and planning and working accordingly, is the one
way that a high purpose can be realized.
The Alaska Railroad—a pioneer system—is gradually and pains
takingly striding towards a great goal—the greater development of
Alaska; and, that the future is bright and promising is attested by
the steady and consistent upward trend of past and present activi
ties. The Alaska Railroad is “Looking Ahead."
