LOOKING AHEAD
Alaskan progress of the past forecasts the future greatness of
the Northland, 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 steadily—those having to do with Al
askan progress can accomplish much. “Looking Ahead” to still great
er things, and planning and working accordingly, is the one way that
a high purpose can be reaped.
The Alaska Railroad—a pioneer system—is gradually and pain
stakingly 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.”

ALASKA LEGISLATURE
(Juneau Empire)
Establishment of a subsidized
steamship line, prohibition of fortune
tellers for pay, and requirement that
public utility companies publish an
annual statement, were propovsals
made in three measures which were
introduced in the House. The Col
lege bill was passed carrying $166,
850 for the biennium and was sent
to the Senate.
The Committee on Wayls and
Means handed in a favorable report
on the measure authorizing erection
of a monument at Sitka to mark the
spot where the transfer ot Alaska
from Russia to the United States
took place. It carries an appropria
tion of $750 which, the Committee
was told was ample for all needs.
Local Ship Subsidy
In line with a recommendation by
Attorney General Rustgard In Ills
biennial report, Representative Worth
introduced a bill which provides for
the establishment of a subsidized
line of steamers, or a single vessel
between Juneau and Prince Rupert,
making calls at Petersburg. Wrangell
and Ketchikan, fixing the subsidy at
$40,000 per year, and appropriating
$85,000 for the biennium. It is re
quired that at least one vessel hav
ing a cargo space for 500 tons of
fresh fish packed in boxes i : ice,
shall make weekly round trips over
the route between March 1, and Nov
ember 30. The measure also pro
vides that “The Board of Control”
shall make the necessary arrange
ments for the subsidy, fix rates to •
freight and fares for passengers. It
Sis understood that this Board is the
one sought to be established in the
! Controller Bill which was defeated
in the Senate earlier lit5.'' week, and
| which was also introduc ,1 in the
House but has not been repjrfeed our
'of Committee.
After Fortune Tellers
A measure by Mr. Paul prohibits
the telling of fortunes for pay. A
maximum fine of $500 provided as
i penalty for violations. I*' It should
| cover “dream books”, the measure
i will meet with disapprobation on the
i part of miners, Mr. Gaffney informed
| the House.
Another measure introduced by Mr.
Paul affects public utility companies
operating in Alaskan communities. P
requires an annual statement to be
made and published in newspapa. ’
showing: the investment, property
I value, gross operating expenses, gross
i income and source, total amount of
! total indebtedness, names of persons;
| holding one per cent or more of the
| capital stock and bonds, the names ;
and places of residence officers ,
and agents receiving salaries of $5,000
or more annually and the amount re
ceived by each.
Need More Stamps
Stamps have been exhausted by
the House, and'the Federal fund for
this item has likewise been used up.
For this reason it has become neces
I
sary for the Printing Committee to
make some other provision, or for
members with lengthly mailing lists
to put their own. As the Committee \
views it, the Territory should bear
this expense and is brought in Joint
Resolution asking for an appropria- ;
tion of $50 with which to purchase
postage stamps.
