THE ALASKA RAILROAD BILL
The dispatches state that the Alaska railroad bill will come ur>
before the house of representatives on January 15, and it is possible
that next week’s issue of The Pioneer may contain the news that the
measure has passed that body. Recently much opposition has devel
oped to the measure, but in spite of all that has been said and done
its friends in the house believe that it will oass.
As was to be expected, all sorts ot pretexts have been found tor
opposing the bill, and Senator Poindexter recently attacked the bill
as a corporation measure in the form of a great public work. He has
discovered a “joker” whereby the government-built road would be
turned over to a private corporation after the government had incurred
all the costs and the risks of construction The senator seems to be
very proud of his “discovery,” and is claiming sole credit for it. How
ever, his constituents in the state of Washington will be wondering why
he was not devoting his time and talents to discovering some way of
perfecting and passing the bill instead of picking flaws in a measure
upon which the prosperity of Alaska, and incidentally the state of
Washington, largely depends.
Two members of the house committee on territories filed a minor
ity report,.in which they stated that in their opinion the Alaska rail
road bill was not a proper economic step, and that the development of
Alaska was “nothing but a beautiful dream. They further said that
the policy of the government aidmg in the development of Alaska
was unsound, and that it did not agree with any of the pledges which
the Democratic party had made to the people of the country when it
went before them with its bid for power. The report is signed by Rep
resentalives Davenport and Ferris, neither of whom is of great promi
nence in the house.
these worthy guardians ot the nation s weirare can see notning
of immediate benefit to their own constituents, probably, in the devel
opment of an empire which has been so shamefully neglected by the
United States government. The government aid extended to the Pa
cific railroads, which made possible the development of the vast stretch
from the Missouri and Mississippi rivers and the Great Lakes
to the Pacific coast, was many times the value of the sum asked for
the construction of a railroad to the interior of Alaska, and many tunes
that sum are expended biennially in improving harbors and water
courses and building canals in different sections of the country. It
iooks as though the fact that the Territory has no political influence
was as much a factor in gaining for it the recognition due as any other
thing.
However, Delegate Wickersham has made and is making a strong
fight for the measure, and even if the bill be defeated in this congress,
which now seems impossible, it is a matter of but a few years when the
government must take up the matter. Alaska is the last frontier, and
the increasing population of the States will find an outlet here, where
nature has been so lavish in its gifts, and where homes and affluence
for millions await but the intelligent action of the powers that be in
making those resources available.
There are some persons in the world, and they often crop out in
public life, who must be in the limelight continually, even though it be
to make themselves appear thoroughly contemptible A few weeks
ago it was reported that the house of representatives had adopted a
plan whereby each congrssman was to contribute five dollars for a
wedding gift for tVhss Jessie Wilson, who was married recently. Rep
resentative Gray of Indiana took up the matter and declared it “ex
ceeding bad taste.” While Mr. Gray was speaking in support of h?
contention he waved a check for five dollars which he said he would
give to some poor little child who at Christmas time peers through the
windows of a toy shop. No action was taken by the house w'hich
would indicate a change in the plan previously promulgated. Speaking
of "bad taste,” the congressman seems to have furnished the prize ex
ample. What was there to h;nder him from giving his five dollars in
any way he saw fit, without attracting the attention of his colleague^
and occupying their time in telling them what a charitable man he was?
As the time approaches when the Alaska railroad bill will be
placed before congress for final vote, it may be of interest to learn that
“more than four-fifths of the civilized nations of the w'orid own arid
operate their railroads.” This statement was made by Clifford Thorne
of the Iowa state railroad commission. “Private ownership of Ameri
can railroads,”he said"is costing us more than four hundred million dol
lars a year.” One of the stock arguments of the opponents of the
Alaska railroad measure is the bugaboo of government ownership. The
trend of public opinion seems to indicate that the time is not far distant
when all railroads will be operated by the government, upon the same

principle that the postoffice department, with its parcel post adjunct,

United States Senator Key Pittman of Nevada introduced and
’ had passed a bill relieving the miners of the Seward pen nsula from
assessment work on mining claims for the year 1913. This was as a
measure of relief called forth by the d.saster of October 6 when Nome
was swept by a tidal storm. It now appears that the "relief” came not
as an unmixed blessing. The claim is made that the only ones to bene
fit by the law were the mine owners, most of whom were well able to
pay for the necessary representation work, and thus provide work for
the needy ones. _
Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst, the militant suffragette, has attracted
I the admiration of Dr. Tanner of Los Angeles, who many years ago
fasted 44 days. Evidently these days when the high cost of livin'
is such a factor in domestic economy have rem nded the doctor that
“two can live as cheaply as one,” and with the well known ability of
both parties to abstain from food in view, he has proposed marriage
to the hunger striker. “I think it was the most impudent and insulting
suggestion I ever heard of,” she is said to have remarked.
The people of Southeastern Alaska are congratulating themselves
upon the climatic conditions there as compared wit!} Northwestern and
M'ddle Western states, where severe w’eather, hurricanes and snow
storms wrought havoc m the region of the Great Lakes a few wee's
i ago, and a number of people were frozen to death and many lost tne r
! lives in other ways. The first freezing weather occurred in Juneau on
i November 14, and the first slight fall of snow on November 1 7.
Judging from the tone of the Alaska press, the proposition
of Congressman Smith of Maryland to cede the Alaska panhand e
to Canada is not going to be received in this Territory with much
enthusiasm.
On Saturday, November I, the Alaska Daily Emp;re, of Juneau j
! completed the first year of its existence. The paper states that its suc
1 cess is a matter of gratification to the publisher and those connected |
| with it.
HUMAN FOLLY
I remarked to Dr. Skate: “I’m increasing in my weight, and
it’s giving me the blues, for I cannot tie my shoes, so I want a pint
of pills, or a syrup made of squlls, or some other kind of dope:
you can pull me down, I hope?” All the time at heart I ! now that
I really ought to go to the woodpile with an ax, and get down to
o'd brass tacks. Oh, I ought to do my chores and get busy out of
doors, beating carpets good and hard, cleaning up the littered yard,
with a mind and heart at peace, thus dispose of my grease. But,
instead, I trot a block, and consult the four-eyed doc, and he shakes
h s head and sighs, and he looks confounded wise, and gives ne
pellets labeled “Nux” and assesses me three bucks. And some for* -
million jays are as foolish all their days. Ills and aches would
travel hence if we’d use a little sense. If you have an aching tooth,
have it pulled at once, good youth. But of course that simple plan
won’t appeal to any man; you will nurse your throbbing jaw and
denounce the moral law, blow yourself for paten* cures and *he
chloroform that lures; then, with agony accursed, do what should
be done at first. Most of us are dotards dense; few of us have any
sense— Walt Ma son.

Union Pacific.
On the other hand, it is hinted that this
opposition is inspired by the very interests
whom it is intended to prevent obtaining
control of the road.
Wickersham’s speech wi 1 have a power
ful effect in reassuring many who were
inclined to oppose the bill as he laid espe
cial emphasis on his denial that it was
drawn up with a view of favoring the
powerful interests in Alaska which already
controlled so much of its natural resources.
President Gives Assurances of Support
Washington, Dec. 12.—A most important
communication was made to Delegate
Wickersham today by President Wilson,
who assured the delegate that he could
be convinced “that my efforts are directed
for the best lntrests of the whole people,
and that I make every steadfast effort in
'his direction. I assure you I believe posi
tively that Alaska can only be able to
achieve its greatness after the exploitation
of the immensely valuable resources of the
interior districts have been made available
by the construction of railroads from tide
water to the inland waterways.”

PROGRESS OF THE
ALASKA RAILROAD BILL
Delegate Wickersham Answers the Attack
Made on the Measure by Senator
Poindexter
Washington, Dec. 11.—Delegate Wicker
sham warmly defended the Alaska railroad
bill in the house today against those who
attacked it. lie denounced those who ac
cused the promoters of the bill of implant
ing therein a joker, denied that it has any
weak spots, or that, as intimated by Rep
resentative Ferris, it is obviously drawn up
to favor special interests. Wickersham de
clared that the bill embodied every favor
able and desirable thing necessary to a
speedy construction of the railroad in
Alaska, and that while it may not be per
fection, it is as perfect as time and the
circumstances will at present permit.
It was obvious from the beginning that
Wickersham’s address was directed against
the alarming attack which had been made
by Senator Poindexter and others, who
claim that the bill contains a joker whereby
the private corporations lease the railroad
after the government takes ail the risks of
construction.
The bill, according to the contention of
some of its opponents, is so drawn up that
the larger interests in Alaska who have
acquired many of the mineral resources will
in the fullness of time also acquire this
government-constructed railroad in even a
craftier manner than the private interests
A DISSENTING OPINION
Iditarod, Jan. 9. 1914.
Editor Iditarod Pioneer: I read the edi
torial in your paper of January 3, 1914, and
beg to take exception to your criticism of the
editor of the Fairbanks Weekly Times in
the matter of his opinion of the informa
tion which he received from Curtis II. Find
ley.
Your editorial, to my mind, is in error as
I to the statement that Mr. Lindley did not
| ive an opinion. He not only gave an opin
ion, but cites the law upon which he bases
his opinion. He cites Sec. 2324, U. S. Re
vised Statutes, which provides that “the
miners of each district may make regu
lations not in conflict with the laws of the
United States, or the laws of the state or
‘erritory in which the district is situated,
governing the location, manner of record
ng. and the amount of work necessary to
held possession of a mining claim, subject
to the fo lowing requirements:
“On each claim located after the 10th day
»f May, 1872, and until the patent has been
.'i;ed therefor, not less than one hundred
’ liars’ worth of labor shall be performed
r improvements made during each year.”
Mr. Lindley says “the clear inference from
he foregoing language of the federal stat
ute is that the states and territories may
legis'ate on the subject of assessment work,
provided that the amount of work re
quired shall be not less than $100.”
What a law “infers” or “clearly implies”
is the law. Mr. Lindley used the words,
‘clear inference.” Then, has not he ex
ressed an opinion?
Your moot question seems to be that
. ongress has stipulated that “the legislature
hou:d pass no law interfering with the pri
mary disposal of the soil.”
The organic act also prevents and pro
hibits the legislature from interfering with
he laws in force at that time in regard to
: e fi.-h. fur bearing animals, and the laws
f the United States providing for taxes
n business and trade; then inserts the
lau.-e that “these provisions sha 1 not op
rate to prevent the legislature from im
posing other and additional taxes or
licenses.”
The additional >100 required in assess
ment work cannot be considered ‘‘other
han a tax or license."
To interpret the law, the whole act must
be read together, and so read that, it will
11 : ly. Cf course, if a iater act explicitly
eal. the former, the later will prevail;
'). t the clause stating ‘‘no interference with
he primary disposal of the soil" does not
repeal the act stating that ‘‘the law shal
n t be so construed to prevent the legida
.re from adding additional taxes or
licenses."
Nearly all of the organic acts governing
our former territorial legislatures have con
tained the clause that “the legislature shall
enact no laws interfering with the primary
’.ispo-al cf the soil.’’
The organic act governing the Territory
M mu:.a contained the above clause. The
I le i-la.t; re par; c-d a law that “aliens could
! not stake mining ground in the territory."
1 An action was brought under this law; a de
cision was rendered by the district court
'hat it was an interference with the pri
mary disposal of the soil, and the matter
f aliens could only be taken up by the
’nited States. In this case the territorial
i ■ : Lit. re law prohibited the alien from
akir.g. which ia the primary step in ac
Irin mining gr. und from the govern
1 ent Our legislature has passed no such
law.
' i!. * Montana legislature enacted similar
1 ’• to those which our bgis.ature has en
• le i governing mining claims, ull of which
• ere hoi i t be within their power.
Mr. Lin l.y stales that ?ec. 2321. U. S.
i ivovi-C'. Statutes, further prescribes that on
11 claims located prior to the 10th day of
M y 1872 ten dollars’ worth of lab r sha 1
j be i erfr rmed f r each 100 feet in length
along the vein, which was clearly retroac
tive as affeebng mining 1 cati ns made un
er the mining act of ISGG which did not
rescribe the amount cf annual lab r neces
arv to held a claim.
This is a similar law to the one passed
by our Alaska legislature requiring one hun
dred dr liars’ worth of assessment work on
each twenty acres of mining ground after
1014. In view of the retroactive act of
congress, and the territorial laws of Mon
tana holding to be valid, I think that the ;
mining laws enacted by the territorial bgis- j
ature of Alaska will stand. W. H. B.
[Editorial Note—.The Pioneer passes no
o; inion as to the meaning of the langua e
of the organic act of Alaska, nor as to
what extent the mining laws passed by
the A aska legislature are valid and will
be upheld by the courts. The Pioneer sim
ply stated as a matter of news-fact that
lawyers disagree, and that no authority has
yet passed upon these questions, and that
they are still open. And that they will be
open until passed upon by the supreme
court of the United States.]

THE SMALL TOWN.
A man whose nerves were ragged from the
strenuous city life
Decided he would take a rest and wouldn’t
take his wife.
“I’ll go to some small town,” he said, “and
and live upon a diet.
Where folk-^ are kind and simple, and w'here
everything Is quiet.”
The weary man packed up his grip, and
after some delay,
He found a little village where he thought
he’d like to stay.
He started to enjoy the rest tie had so truly
earned;
He strolled among the villagers, and this
Is what he learned:
That Hiram Jenkins was a heat who never
paid a rent;
That Abner Hawkins drank so much he
couldn’t pay his rent;
That old Squire Higgins was a crook and
tiad been all his lire;
That Perkins ran a card game, and that
Jim.soii beat his wifq,
He learned that Mrs. Hopkins washed her
dishes twice a week.
\nd did some giddy things of which they
didn’t like* lo speak.
He* learned that Mrs. Wiggins smoked a
ri-garette one day,
And Hiried with the druggist when tier hus
band was away.
After he heard these Herns, as they passed
from lip to lip,
The weary pilgrim had enough, and packed
his little grip.
He went back to the city on the first and
fastest train,
And never took the rest cure in a little
town again. —William F. Kirk.
AFTER 23 YEARS
A few weeks ago there arrived in Edmon
ten, Alberta, John C. Knox, an employe of
ihe Hudson Bay Company, who had been
stationed in the northern country, on the
very border of the Arctic circle, the last 28
years. Fie came to visit the friends of his
boyhood days and get into touch with mod
ern commercial and industrial methods.
At the time of his leaving Edmonton
the population was less than 50, and on
his return he finds it with better than 70,
000. Knott went through the town from
‘he East in 1878. The Red river ox cart
and dog teams of that time he found had
i.-a; peered, and high power touring cart
and electrically-propelled street cars in use.
.ikewise. the Saskatchewan river was f r 1
cd at the time or crossed by rose ferry;
hat is also changed, and the river is now
panned by structures of steel. Knott :ay.
ih^t the fur catch of the North will reach
:he enormous figure of 82,000,000 this year.
Just Like a Lady!
“Frances,” said the little gill's mother,
vho was entertaining visitors, “you came
.ownstairs so noisily that you could be
' eard all over the house. Now go hack
nd come downstairs properly.”
Frances retired and in a few minutes re
ntered the parlor.
“Did you hear me come down that time,
: ;amnia?”
“No, my dear; that time you came down
like a lady.” ?
“Yes. mamma.” explained the child. “I
