Looking Ahead!
Alaskan progress of the past forecasts the future greatness of
the Northfland, 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 6teadily—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."

cipally in them that duplication and
overlapping of functions occur. A
comprehensive idea of the various fed
eral activities may be gained from
th organization chart which is enclos
ed.
“As a result of a conference, we
have drafted the enclosed bill, which
is aimed to enable the respective sec
retaries to coordinate and consolidate
the work of their departments in Al
aska and is a constructive step to
ward eliminating duplication and un
necessary expense. The principle of
administration recommended is for
each of the departments mentioned to
have a single administrative head in
Alaska for all its activities. The pre
sent administrative head of the prin
cipal activity of the department now
in Alaska might conveniently be sel
ected for this purpose. By this me
thod, cooperation between depart
ments would be promoted and auth
ority would be centralized without in
terfering with the present decentra
lized responsibility. The department
representatives would form an advi
sory board for federal administration
of the territory, and to them may be
delegated authority which now re
quires reference to Washington. The
plan has the merit of initiating an
effective reorganization of Alaska
without increasing the personnel or ex
pense of administration.
“The first objective to be accom
plished is to simplify intradepartment
al administration. If it is found, after
the several departments have coordin
ated the work among their respec
tive bureaus in Alaska, that it is ad
visable to transfer activities of sonde
of the bureaus from one department
to another, and the plan is concurred
in by the respective secretaries, the
president is authorized to do this by
executive order.

The necessity for coordinating the
various government functions in Alas
! ka is summarized in the following
j memorandum made public by Secre
tary Work:
“All of the executive departments
and four of the independent establish
I ments have activities in Alaska, but
| only three, namely, Agriculture, Com
* merce and Interior, have important
! functions pertaining to the develop
! ments of the resources and welfare of
i the territory. The future of Alaska,
! as affected by federal jurisdiction, re
' volves around these three depart
| ments. It is principally in them that
! duplication of effort and overlapping
of functions occur, and from them
should come the first step toward
consolidation of activities.
‘The Ideal organization would have
all federal activities, except the judi
ciary and post office department, un
der a single department, but until
| existing defects in the intradepart
| mental administration are corrected,
consolidation would lead to confusion
and increased cost of administration
defeating the purpose sought to be
attained.
“If the plan of cooperative work
now being carried on by the depart
ments wrere extended, it would be ne
cessary for several of the adminis
trative units to maintain separate es

tablishments for handling their Alas
ka work. The principle of adminis
tration recommended is for each of
the departments mentioned to have a
single administrative head in Alaska
for all their activities. The present
administrative head of the principal
activity of the department now in Al
aska might be chosen for this pur
pose. These administrative heads
should then form an advisory board
to bring about cooperation and coor
dination. To them should be dele
gated authority to pass on public
questions now being referred to Wash
ington.
An Alaskan Constabulary
“The departments should transfer
personnel, records and jurisdiction to
Alaska wherever feasible. Those re
siding there are more likely to have
the interest of the territory at heart
than the occasional Washington-office
inspector.
“A needed preliminary to effective
administration in the territory is the
providing of adequate housing facili
tes for the various offices in the ter
ritorial capital. The first unit of a
modern fireproof building to care for
all federal offices now rented could
be constructed for $177,500 available
for the proposed customs house and
post office at Juneau. The building
could be completed as funds become
available.
“Consolidation of the several law
enforcement agencies in the territory
might be provided by legislation creat
ing a federal constabulary with au
thority to enforce all federal laws.
The constabulary would then replace
the United States marshals, prohibi
tion enforcement officers, game war
dens, fur wardens, and all special offi
cers, except the U. S. Army now sta
tioned in Alaska.”
