Territorial Government

month and more likely here would
meet once in two months. They
should not be in session more than
three days at a setting and they would
be paid, as in the other territories for
I the actual time while at their work
and for necessary mileage. All of
their proceedings, including all pay
ments made by them would be pub
lished in designated papers and the
voters would see just what was being
done.
Congressional Appropriations.
But many will argue that we will
not then have the necessary federal
appropriations that are and have been
expended in the Territory. Why Not?
Federal Government Must Protect Its
Investment.
The present population of Alaska
is holding the Territory in a sort of
a trusteeship for the benefit of the
whole United States at Large. When
this territory was taken over from
the Russians and paid for, the Unit
ed States was not new in its Real
Estate Business. It knew then and
it must know now, or the people in
charge of the Federal Government at
that time and now, that it was pur
chasing a great un-improved domain
that had great potential possibilities.
That this wealth would be needed for
the future growth and prosperity of
the country as a whole and that mon
ey would have to be spent in its up
keep and development until such time
as it would commence to repay for
the investment made. Therefore, the
Federal Govrenment has in the past
and must in the future make big in
vestments for improvement just as
an indivdual or a corporation has to
make investments on a new project
until the same can be put on its feet.
To do otherwise would be poor bus
iness.
i ne J-ederal Government Should Get
a Run for Its Money.
Does it? As an illustration in one
! of the last papers from the First Div
jision was a description of a new gas
boat; of elegant equipment and pro
portions called the HIGHWAY which
has been built by the Bureau of Pub
lic Roads for use in Alaska. Do you
think that if the voters of Alaska
were expending that money they
would be building a boat? Over here
_ at Anchorage we have asked for a
saddle trail with a few shelter cabins
to be built into a country of vast pos
sibilities; one which might produce
i mines and a great deal of wealth and
which with such a trail constructed
would be bound to be gone over by
trained mining men at their own ex
; pense, but no money was available.
Perhaps they will come up sometime
and explore this region with the
Highway.
You know and I know that if the
people of Alaska, the people who
from long residence, home ties and
_ business interest, had the expending
of Federal appropriations in Alaska
every dollar would go twice and in
all probabilities three or four times
as far as it does now.
And there should be no reason in
these days of budgets and with a
President who is constantly preach
ing and honestly practicing govern
ment economy why the people who
know should not handle government
money instead of outsiders who have
to be educated to our needs and
who have no ties, home, business or
sentiment that connects them with
- the work they are doing or atempt
. ing to do. Congres is a funny prop
osition anywray.
It takes years of residence, lots
of education and plenty of exper
ience for nearly any man to be
elected to either the Lower House
or the Senate of the United States.
In mass formation these men may
pass appropriation bills, but individ
ually none of them is authorized to
apply the appropriation to the work
for which it was passed. And so they

usually get some favorite or some civ

ployee that has only one object in
life, to keep on the payroll with as
little effort as possible to go out and
spend it for them.
Is it any wonder what happens to
Federal Appropriations’
But the people of Alaska may never
r;;pect to get the spending of such
appropriations, and the careful spend
ing of such appropriations, until a
time when they have established ad
ministrative machinery in the way of
a Territorial Government to act so
I hat the same may be handled. But
once such a thing is lone and the
facts of the case honestly placed be- !
fore Congress you may rest assured
that the Federal Government will see
to it that it gets the mst fen- its
money.
Things That Vitally Effect Closest
at Hand
It matters little to you or 1 who
is Minister to the Court of St.
James or Consul to Timbuctoo, but
it matters a whole lot who is our
local deputy marshal, Commissioner
or assistant District attorney. The
activities of the last named officers
vitally affect all of us. Should we
in the lottery of appointments be
lucky we may get an officer that
really is worthy of the place that he
holds, but we are more apt to get
one who is incapable or unworthy
and we have to battle along with him
and in spite of him, until such time
as there is another turn of the wheel
when our luck may be better and it
may be worse.
Under an elective programme we
might draw a lemon now and then
but we can see as they do in all
other parts of the United States
that such a mistake is not made the
second time.

AN EMPIRE BUILDER
As all railroads in years gone by have been the greatest
contributing factors in development of the regions through
which they passed, so also is THE ALASKA RAILROAD
each day accomplishing much towards the building of an
empire.
In place of the old tremendously expensive and inconve
nient method of transporting supplies of whatever character
over rough trails from the coast, there is now a modern rail
way that carries supplies and equipment in greater quantities
to and from the Interior, and along the way, in much less
time and at far less expense than was formerly required.
This great steel highway offering regular twice weekly
freight and passenger service between Seward, Anchorage and
Fairbanks; and tri-weekly mixed service over the Chickaloon
and Chatanika branches, is at your service. For further in
formation write
