FOR WORK IN ALASKA
Satisfactory working arrangement
for the handling of road funds with
tho war department and the depart

Washington by Major W. H. Waugh*
pro ident of the Alaska board of road
commissioners* who has returned to
Juneau.
“Arrangements as wo have made

dom in the handling of road funds,”
aid Major Waugh. “We can hope fo*
good treatment from the members of
the appropriation committee whet
they consider the appropriation bill
All of the members of the military

believe the chief of engineer’s office

“The estimate of $300*000 for the
Alaska road commission has been ap
proved- and I hope it will go through.
“The postoffice appropriation bid
carries money for road work of which
we get a part. Fifty-nine thousand dol

entitled to more- we won’t be able to
get it until w? make a good showing

IRISHMAN'S CLAIM
!OR INDEPENDENCE
• ••*•**•******
LIMERICK- Ireland- June 14— (Cor
res»>ondenoe of The Associated Press.)
—The Irishman’s claim to political in
dependence is not wholly sentimental*
according to Alphonsus O’Mara- May
or of Limrick and one of its leading
manufacturers. There is* he says, a
much more practical side to the ques
tion- the desire for economic indepen
dence and the opportunity for indus
trial advancement which the Irishman
feels he can never attain until he is
permitted to make his own laws and
deal authoritatively with his own pro
blems.
“Material advantages have come
out of every movement of the Irish
for freedom* but the main grievenee
remains” said'Mr, O’Mara. “ The one
point is we are heavily overtaxed. This
year England is making a profit of
twenty millions out of us. That is she
is taxing us thirty-five millions and
giving us a government which costs
her no more than fifteen millions
These figures are not ours but hers.
We have England’s word for it.
“Ireland has improved its position
in the past years, but we have not a 1
vanced industrially. We Lick capital
and we lack confidence because Eng
land and England's statesmen have
told us that we are not fit to govern
ourselves* that we lack those essent
ials which make for self-government
of the mass and therefore of the indi
vidual. Our farming population ab
sorbing this sentiment through oft re
iteration* have withheld their money
when it was needed by Irish enter
prise. They have deposited it in banks,
vast sums of it* and the money has
been loaned to Englishmen for the de
velopment of English industry.
“Limerick some 75 years ago had a
prosperous mercantile marine. Now
the Shannon boars not on its* bosom a
simple ship that can call Limerick its
home nort.
“Also we had a fine textile indus
try- with more textile workers in Ire
land than there were then in England.
But that has gone the way of the
ships.
“Wo have here the finest river :n
the world for shipbuilding. We could
line the shores of the Shannon ,,:lh
busy shipyards and workshops. But
the people who would take the initia
tive have not the money* and because
we are told we are not capable of
^elf-government* the people who have
fho money will not lend it to thos»
who could use it.
“The world is passing through an
ndustrial crisis. Every nation— Am
erica* England, France and even Gor
manv* is making preparations for
world trade. But Ireland is not allow
'd to take any industrial step tint
would hdn her people here at home.
Whv* the British government even re
* *
fused me a passpoi-t when I wanted
*o go to America to place the natural
advantages of Limerick before your in
vcstors ann smpowners. neiv wo
ire- high and dry* with tho ocean of
prosperity all around us.
“We could only take the steps nec
essary to develop this country if we
were assured Ireland would he allow
ed to make its own laws and provide
its own government for in no oth^r
wav could we give American investors
any guarantee that England would not
tax their investments out of existence.
“I don’t have a great deal of faith
in what the rest of the world is going
to do for us unless we do something
for ourselves. We have stated our
principles, and at the present moment
a government of the people of Ireland
is in office in Dublin. Of course this
government can’t have any real power
until England withdraws her army of
i occupation and that can only be
brought about by pressure from out
side of Ireland.”
