and a number of recommendation;
made on several subjects.
Growth In Expenses
Broadly, the Governor depictec
the expenditures for schools anc
social welfare, which together ab
sorb 65 per cent of all Territorial
disbursements, as showing a higf
rate of increase in the past severa
years. In 1917 the Territory ex
pended out of its treasury for edu
cational purposes only $75,521.49
and in the school year of 1929-31
! disbursements for the same pur
pose, without including the Alaska
College amounted to $544,731.37
or a seven-fold increase. In th<
same period schools increased 101
percent and enrollment less thai
that.
For dependent children the Ter
ritory is expending current!)
' about $2,300 per month on 14:
children. Fifty-five thousand dol
lars were appropriated in 1929 an<
$70,000 will be needed for the nex
biennium.
Total expenses for the Pioneers
Home were $105,150.53 and $100,(KM
is asked for the next two years.

I The Governor said there is nov
| $171,000 in the building fund and
I finances permitting, will react
$211,000 by 1933. He asked for th<
appointment of a committee t(
prepare plans for the structure.
Pension Roil Large
There are 351 individuals on thi
pension roll. Although the 1921
legislature increased the maxi
mum monthly allowance from $2i
to $35 , the board of trustees wai
not able to raise the scale as th<

i funds made available were insuf
ficient. In fact, altho the rate wa:
held to the then existing basis, due
to the increased number of pen
. sioners, a small deficit was incurr
ed that the present session wili
have to take care of.
Under the existing system ol
i awarding allotments, the Gover
nor said it was not possible to pre
vent payment of pensions to pei
, sons not entitled to them, and lie
> asked the legislature to authorize
the use of tax collectors, now em
ployed, to investigate questionable
, cases.
s In the past two years 17 percenl
1 of all disbursements by the Terri
l tory were made for the relief ol
destitution and care of indigent3
• including pensions, Pioneers
' Home, dependent children. The
! appropriations for these purpose*
■ totaled $406,000 in the past twe
l years. With the exception of the
; Pioneers’ Home, the system wa*
described as unsatisfactory anc
’ remedies were suggested.
)
Federal Highway Act
{ “At some future time it is cer
. tain we shall be expected to com<
under the Federal Highway Act
\ and we may as well begin to con
sider this matter”, the Governoi
[! said. “Orte of the requirement!
> | that must be met is the existence
) of an administrative organization
acceptable to the Federal Govern
ment. In my opinion this will b
impossible under the present sys
tem of selecting a Highway Engin
j eer. The proper discharge of th
duties of that office demand, inso
’ far as possible, that it should b<
\ removed from politics”.
' Change In Schools
A similar suggestion was made
\ J regarding the Commissioner ol
; Education. “The dual system oJ
) I schools existing in the Territory u
r not now satisfactory”, he contend
ed. “Eventually,” he added, “the
administration of the In
dian schools will be turned over tc
the Territory under an arrange
ment whereby the Federal govern
ment will defray the ■ expenses ol
operating them and of erecting
new buildings, and the Territory
will assume the cost of adminis
trative overhead which is small.

Continuing, he said: “However,
before such a plan can be consid
ered it will be necessary for the
Territory to have an acceptable
organization qualified to meet the
requirements that may be imposed
by the Federal government and I
am of the opinion that this cannot
| be achieved under the present sys
| tern of selecting the Commissioner
; of Education.”
Pays Own Way
“Boxing as a Territorial institu
tion,” the Governor said, “pays its
j own way. Members of the boxing
commission have diligently and
effectively performed their duties
and the receipts deposited by them
with the Treasurer, exceed appro
priation made for the commis
sion’s expenses.”
The Historical Library and Mus
1 eum in its specially designed quar
1 ters in the new capitol is able to
play its part more effectively. The
1 Governor recommended that the
building formerly occupied by it
and other Territorial offices, be
loaned to the city of Juneau for a
public library building, provided
, the municipality pays the costs oi
its upkeep. The present site, he
| added, should be a part of the
, park that some day will be created
, in front of the new capitol and he
’ suggested the legislature authorize
the transfer of title to the lot to
the Federal government when and
all other realty in the block is
acquired as a park site.
Urges Real Budget

tem of requests for appropriations

as a “budget in name only”, Gov
ernor Parks strongly urged thi
legislature to take steps to remed;
the situation. Under the presen
method, he said, excessive esti
mates are invited in the hope the:
will by good fortune be allowed.
He asked for a real budget boar<
composed of Governor, Treasurer
and Auditor, “empowered to sub
mit a real budget in which ever:
request for funds is supported b:
written justification. However, thi
board should have authority to de
mand any information needed t<
determine whether an appropria
tion is justified. Until this is au
thorized no one will know whethe
or not proposed expenditures wil
be commensurate with probabi
revenues.”
In closing the Governor dre1!
attention to “A lice in tin
Wonderland” system, or systems, o
fiscal accounting that are now re
quired by various Territorial sta
tutes.
