COASTAL COUNTRY ENTITLED TO LOCAL REVENUES.
Writing in the American IndU9tries, a magazine published at New
fork by the National Manufacturers Association, Governor Bone «ays:
"The sunn of $1,600,000 should be available annually to carry out
a comprehensive road program in Alaska.
"By a strange anomaly the Bureau of Roads, of the Department of
Agriculture, which can build roads only in the forest reservations along
the coast, has some $1,200,000 to spend. Its projacts are largely local
and contribute in no great measure to the general development of the
Territory. Not a dollar of this fund can be expended outside the forests
—not even for the much needed roadway Into Mt. McKinley Park. The
Bureau is doing its work well and some of its projects are of decided in
dustrial utility. But the fact remains that transportation problems along
the coast are water problems. Owing to divided authority, two road
building agencies, the Alaska Road Commission and the Bureau of Roads,
with double overhead, operate in Alaska. T*ho Territory wisely merged
its activities with those of the Alaska Road Commission. Efforts to con
solidate the two Federal agencies have thus far been antagonized and fail
ed. Sush building monies for general use would be of incalculable value
in hastening the development of the Territory.”
The First Division, at least, will not agree with Governor Bone’s
contention that the funds arising from the National Forests should be put
Into a general rood fund for use in other sections of Alaska than in the
neighborhood of the forests. The money contributed to road building
through the National Forests is in lieu of local taxation. The system was
inaugurated to meet the objection that the forests were contributing noth
ing to the local development and expenditures through local taxation that
made the forests available and valuable. The people living in the vicini
ty of forests pointed out that tf the Governmejit would abandon the forests
and permit the lands and resources within them to become private pro
perty they would bear their share of local development. But as things
were the Government was getting the benefit of the unearned increment
and paying not a cent.
The First Division will not admit her transportation problems are
all water problems. Sbe has need for all the roads that the forest funds
and her contribution to the Alaska Fund will pay for, and more. And
the contributions of the First Division to the Alaska Fund, like the fores
try money, is local taxation and should be used for local purposes. Every
mile of road that is built in Southeastern Alaska, makes room for addi
tional population and addds to the opportunities, profits and pleasure of
the people who reside here.
There are public lands and natural resources belonging to the
Federal Government in limitless quantities in the vicinity of the McKin
ley National Park and contributory to the Alaska Railway and in all sec
tions of Alaska where road development is needed.
The Federal Government should do its part in the development of
this region, do Its part in making valuable and available these resources.
Let her, through the Federal Highway scheme or through direct appro
priations, do her part toward the development of her own and contiguous
It is not fair to saddle the burden of developing all Alaska on the
people and resources of the coast country. The coast country is also a
pioneer country. It, too, is in its infancy. If it takes care of itself it
Is load enough on its sparse population. It is now bearing practically
•11 the cost of the Territorial treasury to roods. Bchools and for other
purposes in other sections of the Territory. The, First Division has
borne her share of these contributions uncomplainingly, and if she is to
continue to contribute to the remainder of the Territory sh# would have
it done that way.
There will be complete agreement with Governor Bone that there
shquld be available $1,500,000 a year for road building in Alaska. Prob
ably that much should be expended in that great country that is directly
•nd indirectly contributory to the Alaska Railway. And the First Divi
sion will use all the influence that she has to induce Congress to make
the appropriation of that or a greater sum from the Federal treasury
direct or through the National Highway Act.—Juneau Empire.
Ndw that AlaAa has a full-fledged college of her;own, let us hope
that the day will come when. Instead of young men and women going
from Alaska to Outside colleges, they will came from the Outside ta the
Alaska college. It-would pnt color Into many cheeks that formerly were
