TOLL ROADS FOR ALASKA
While a bill introduced by Representative Thomas
of Colorado and transferring the duties of the Alaska
Road Commission to the Department of the Interior
embodies these words: . to make rules gov
erning use of roads, trails and other works, including
the fixing and collection of tolls,” etc., there is little like
lihood that it will ever get through Congress in this form.
Such a bill would be in contravention to act giving pow
er to build roads in Alaska.
Such a clause would open a knotty question in the
States where government money has been contributed to
state highways.
The wonder is that such a proposal came from a
Western Representative, and especially one who profess
es friendship for the Territory.
Thus the question of comprehensive coordination
of federal activities in Alaska seems to have become over
shadowed by a studied effort on the part of the admin
istration to" create more and complicated bureaucratic
restrictions.
If Washington believes Alaska is costing too much
under the present method of administration, it could
solve the matter better by taking the suggestion of for
mer Secretary John Barton Payne to turn Alaska over
to the Alaskans. It certainly cannot hope to keep the
country as a vassal state, deprived of normal privileges
and initiative and expect Alaskans to pay it tribute.
In fact the toll suggestion is so ridiculous it does not
merit consideration. It would take half the army to
collect the tolls and we would have more big jails than
it requires to cage the caterers to the thirsty in the states.
A government officials says “Alaska is a small com
munity a n d is hardly affected by the depression.” In
other words it does not hurt as bad if everybody gets his
shins kicked.
There is nothing like preparedness. It it comes to
the worst John D. Rockefeller, Jr., might land a job as
bartender.
A wise woman keeps her husband truthful by not
asking too many questions.
Everything cannot be blamed upon Wall Street. Two
English scientists have burst the atom.
Well, if it comes to the worst, a man can turn under
last year’s breeks and make plus fours of them.
