CANDIDATES AND ROADS
(Continued from Poire One)
woi\- was 75 per cent of the money the Territory derived ;
from its share of receipts from sales of timber in foresti
reserves. . . _ ,,
In 1917, there was no road appropriation other than ,
that provided in the road law of 1915. # ;
In 1919, there was an agitation for the extension oi;
the Federal Highway Act to Alaska. It was thought that |
if the Territory could get Congress to extend this act to j
Alaska, large sums of money might be derived from that j
source. Accordingly a Territorial Road Commission was j
provided with adequate machinery to function with the I
Federal government under the provisions of the Highway
Act. An appropriation of $375,000 was made. It was fur
ther provided that the Territorial Road Board might make
agreements with the Alaska Road Commission or other
gov( mmental agencies.
From and including 1919 up to 1931 a total of $2,195,
000 has been appropriated by the Legislature. In addi
tion to this sum, the Alaska Road Commission has re
ceived from the Territory through the medium of the
Alaska Fund, $3,566,000.
All of the foregoing information is taken from the
records and is substantially correct.
The Federal Highway Act has never been extended
to Alaska.
The cooperative agreement made with the Alaska
Road Commission wTas made with the understanding that
the Federal road guilding agencies with their machinery
and personnel already established, could save the Terri
tory a lot of money in overhead in those projects jointly
undertaken.
The result is far from satisfactory. The Alaska Road
Commission is a school for Army engineers. The officers
in charge stay but a few years in Alaska before being
transferred. About the time they begin to learn some
thing about the needs of the Territory, some new official
arrives with much to learn before he becomes of any val
ue. Sometimes they never learn. At the same time, we
hasten to add, the Commission has served its purpose well.
The money the Territory has appropriated directly as
well as that derived from Territorial taxes through the
Alaska Fund pays a tribute of 30 per cent or more in over
head before any of it is used in building roads.
The Alaska Road Commission generally disregards
the washes of the Alaska Legislature as to the need of
roads in particular localities, paying no attention to its re
quests as evidenced by the Matanuska Highway, Seldovia
Bridge, Seward-Kenai Highway and many other acts.
There is another primary election due in April next.
Every candidate for the Legislature should be asked the
following questions:
1. Will you support a memorial asking Con
gress to amend the Act of May 4,1906, to the end
that the proceeds of the Alaska Fund shall be
collected through the officers of the Territory
and by them paid into the general fund to be used
in the same manner as other Territorial funds?
2. Will you vote for the repeal of that provi
sion of Chapter II, Session Lawrs of 1919, which
anows the Territorial Highway Board to enter
into cooperative agreements wdth the Alaska
Road Commission or any other Federal agency?
3. Do you favor doing all Territorial road
work through the medium of the Territorial
Highway Board and upon contract to be let to
the highest and best bidder; no contracts to be
let to other than Alaskans and no labor other
than bona fide Alaskans to be employed?
Regardless of his politics, Republican or Democrat,
the man w7ho refuses to give you a satisfactory answer
to the above questions is not entitled to your vote.

WITHOUT CALOMEL
And You’ll Jump Out of Eed in
the Morning Earin’ to Go
I! you feel sour and sunk and the world
looks punk, don’t swallow a lot of saltr,
mineral water, oil, laxative canny or chewing
gum and expect them to make you suddenly
sweet and buoyant and full of sunsmr.e.
For they can’t do it. They only move the
bowels and a mere movement doesn t get ..t
the causa. The reason for your down-and-out
feeling is your liver. It should pour put two
pounds of liquid bile into your bowels da y.
If this bile is not flowing freely, your food
doesn’t digest. It just decays m the bowels.
Las bloats up your stomach. \ou have a
thick, bad taste and your breath is foul,
skin often breaks out in blemishes. Your head
aches and you feel down and out. \ our wh
system is poisoned.
It takes those good, old CAIUER S
LITTLE LIVER PILI.S to get these two
pounds of bile flowing freely and make you
feel “up and up.” They contain wonderful,
harmless, gentle vegetable extracts, amazing
■when it comes to making the bile flow freely.
But don’t ask for liver pills. Ask for Carter s
Little Liver Pills. Look for the name Carter s
Little Liver Pills on the red label. R^nta
