STRONG PROTEST
VOICED BY BONE
IN C. S. MONITOR
TAKES ISSUE WITH CONGRESS
MAN ON ABANDONMENT OF
THE ALASKA RAILROAD
In a brief statement to the Chris
tian Science Honitor, Boston, former
Governor Scott C. Bone recently pro
tested strongly against the abandon
ment of the Alaska Railroad charac
terizing such a step as “the height of
government folly in perfect keeping
with the short-sigfited policies that
have throttled the Territory ever
since its purchase from Russia.”
The statement was made by ex-gov
ernor Bone at the telegraphic request
of the Monitor. It follows in full:
Will Be Profitable
“Such a course would be the height
of governmental folly in perfect
keeping with the short-sighted policies
that have throttled the territory ever
since its purchase from Russia. Of
course, the railroad is not at once a
paying proposition. This was true of
the transcontinental roads in their
earlier stages. Statesmen whose vision
did not reach beyong the Rocky moun
tains jeered at those projects just as
pessimists today with scant knowledge
of the Northland belittle the first great
step toward development up there.
Once Alaska is freed from bureau
cratic rule and permitted to go ahead,
The Alaska! Railroad will pay and pay
handsomely. Already it is justifying
itself in benefit to the interior and
the territory as a whole without any
concurrent plan of development and
under an impossible system of Federal
administration.
“Alaska is costing Uncle Sam too
much. I am in perfect agreement
with Congressmen Treadway and Free
on that score. The expenses can and
should be materially curtailed, not by
abandoning the railroad and calling a
halt to road and trail building, but by
coordinating, concentrating and sim
plifying the official system and bring
ing it close home to Alaska. It is a
long range rule and multiplying agen
cies that involve the real burden and

entail the actual waste. The Terri
tory itself with limited powers has set
an example of efficient and inexpen
sive administration which the govern
ment might emulate with profit.
“Alaska is a habitable land. Under
heavy handicaps it has become a
land of homes and schools and chil
dren. Its thirty thousand white peo
ple represent as fine a type of Ameri
cans as can be found in the Union. It
can easily sustain a population of a
million out of the products of its soil
and waters. The late Dr. Alfred
Brooks, famous geologist and scien
tist, put his estimate as high as ten
millions. Wealth in excess of a bil
lion has been produced by Alaska.
Instead of doing less for that rich
country Congress should be doing
more, but doing it in an intelligent,
constructive way. Put the affairs of
Alaska in one department under such
an administrator as Herbert Hoover,
and order will be brought out of chaos
and pessimism surely disappear. Then
will Alaska surely become self-sup
porting and make swift progress to
ward statehood.”
Alaska Is Asked Take
Part In Exposition
Be Held At Reno, Nev.
_ ’
j An official invitation has been re
ceived by Gov. George A. Parks ask
j ing that Alaska participate in the
Transcontinental Highways Exposi
tion at Reno, Nev., to be held some
time during the next 18 months, the
definite date not to be fixed at this
time. The Governor said it was im
probable that the Territory could ac
cept the invitation as funds for such
a purpose are not available and it is
unlikely they will be available in time
for an Alaskan exhibit to be made.
The exposition is planned to cele
brate the completion of highways ex
tending across the continent from New
York to San Francisco. It is the aim
of the Exposition directors to attract
thousands of autoists from the east
to the affair making it a feature of
east-to-west auto trips. In asking that
Alaska join in the directors said it
was felt that the exposition would not
be complete without the Territory.
