WHY ALASKA’S KOAI)
IFNI) WAS STRICKEN
BY THE LAW SH \RI\S
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.—Alas
kans, no doubt, are going to be wor
ried over the fact that Representative
Gordon, democrat, of Ohio, assisted
by Representative Stafford, of Wis
consin. republican, managed to knock
out a ruling by Representative Saun
ders, of Virginia, democrat, chairman
of the committee of the whole, the
item of $500,000 allied in the aarmy
appropriation bill for carrying on the
building of roads and trails in Alaska.
Col. W. I'. Richardson, chairman of
the Alaska road commission, happened
to be sick in the hospital at the time
undergoing treatment for his eyes,
which had gone back on him, and was
not lobbying for the item. Although
the laws for some twelve years have1
provided for this manner of appropri-'
ating to build roads and trails in Alas
ka, Chairman Saunders held that there,
was no authority of law for the item,
and thrust it out.
All of which means that the long
suffering senate will have to put it
hack. .Messrs. Gordon and Stafford
have demonstrated that they are keen
parliamentarians, which is what they
wanted, but if the senate is as far- j
seeing as tradition holds it to be, may- ,
be Alaska will not suffer.
