WANTS u. S. TO OWN
ALASKA RAILROADS
Secretary OtIDtGriOr Express
eS This View

Washington, d. c., May 16.-Secre-
tary Lane, of the interior department,
has placed himself on record as favor
ing railway system in Alaska con-
structed, owned and operated by the
government.
Government ownership Of the rail-
roads," he said, seems to me to be
the only policy that will certainly
make for lasting welfare"
The secretary expressed his views
in letter responding to inquiries
from Senator Pittman, chairman of
thee ommittee on territories, which
now has under consideration bills pro-
viding for the construction by the ma
tional government of a railway system
in Alaska. There is but one way to
make any country real part of the
world" Secretary Lane wrote, "by the
construction of railroads into it. Who
ever owns the railways of a country
determines very largely the future of
that country"
Il am convinced that We should
think of Alaska as land not only of
mines and fisheries, but of towns,
farms and factories, supporting mill
lions of people of the hardest and
most wholesome of the race If this
conception of a possible Alaska is a
true one our legislation should be
such as to most surely bring about
this possibility, and it seems to me
there is less of hazard as to Alas

ka's comemrcial future if the govern
ment of the United States owns the
railroads which make it's fertile in
terror valleys accessible from the
coast and bring it's coal, copper and
other mineral resources within the
reach of the world. This is a very
new policy for the United States.
Very true. This is new part of the
United States and policies properly
change with new developments.
Zone determining question in all
matters of government should be
What is the wise thing to do? The
ancient method of opening a country
was to build wagon roads, the modern
method is to build railroads. To build
these railroads ourselves and control
them may be an experiment, but SUCH
a plan does not suggest scandals more
shameful or political conditions, moro
unhealthy than many we have known
in new portions of our country under
private ownership And in the end
We will be free to establish and main
tain our own chosen relationship BE-
tween Alaska and the rest of the
United States, unhampered by threats
of confiscation or the restricting hand
of any merely selfish interests. We
can only insure the highest and full
est use of Alaska by making her rail-
ways wholly subordinate to her in
dustrial and social life and needs
true public utilities.
81 favor the adoption of this policy.
I believe it to be that under which
Alaska will develop most safely and
most speedily and under which the
of that territory will most
certainly become available to the
whole people,"

LOCAL SHOWERS PROVE
FAVORABLE TO CROPS
However, Many Places Not
Visited by Rains

Athens, Ga, May 16.-Reports from
agents in demonstration work in about
sixty-fve counties of Georgia received
at the Georgia State College of Agri-
culture, state that local showers have
helped crop conditions where they
have fallen, but most of the state has
been unvisited by rains for nearly =
month, during which time much of the
cotton and corn have been planted.
Corn is generally reported in mucn
better condition than cotton, the stand
being better and the growth more sat
isfactory Wheat has suffered least
and is generally reported promising.
The oat yield has been reduced ma
terially perhaps 40 per cent. over
what was promised a month ago, by
both the drought and the rust. Where
harvesting has begun, however, re-
ports show that the damage has not
been as heavy as was anticipated. Far,
mers generally are planning to SOW
peas and sorghum to recoup the lass
on ground from which oats have been
taken.
With good general rains the situa>
ton will not prove as bad as these
adverse reports would indicate. Be-
ter stands of corn and cotton may be
had after a rain than has been expect
ed. Lack of moisture may simply
mean that termination and growth has
been held back about three weeks. Soil
preparation has been better on the
average and fertilizer bills indicate
that with good weather the year NAV
prove, after all, a fair one for GOA
AID cotton.

crate reunion May 1928, is fast be-
ing completed, and a most enjoyable

PRESIDENT WILSON is
STRONG FOR TARIFF BILL
He is Not Considering Any
Compromises, is Asserted

Washington, D. c., May 16.-Presi-
dent Wilson came out strongly yester-
day as the champion of free wool and
free sugar in three years, as provided
for in the tariff bill recently passed By
the house. He announced emphatical-
| ~ that ks was not considering com
promises of any sort; that he stood
squarely behind the measure as it
passed the house, and that he regard
ed it as the duty of the democratic ma
iority in the senate to fulfill it's plat
form pledge by enacting the house bill
irto law.
Il am not of the kind, said the pres
ident, that could ask compromises
when once | have taken my position.
have taken my stand with the house
leaders for the present bill Enough
said. | am not looking for or accept
ing compromises"
The presidents utterance was made
to half a hundred newspaper CORES
pondents who gathered as usual today
at the white house for the semi-weekly
conference. Practically at the same
time the senate was engaged in pro-
tracted debate at the end of which to-
night an agreement was reached to
vote tomorrow on the question of pub
lie hearings for the tariff bill While
the president smilingly let it be known
that he was expressing no opinion
whatsoever on the proposal for hear
ings, and that this was a subject for
the senate to dispose of, his statement
of unqualified support for the house
bill was taken generally to mean that
Mr.. Wilson considered arguments from
special interests on the tariff sched-
ules to have been closed when the
tariff schedules passed the house. He
is understood to regard the effort to
nave bearings as a filibustering de-
vice.
All day there had been rumors that
concessions of some kind would be
made on the principal schedules in or
der to satisfy opposition. The presi-
dent had been told that in some
sources there was an expectation that
a duty would be put on raw wool, OF
that the provision for free sugar would
be dropped. 1t was to counterfeit these
statements that he took occasion to
make his position clear OF course, it
is expected at the white house that
there will be minor changes in the bill,
certain equalizations and corrections
which have been approved by house
leaders since the bill left their hands,
but in the principal schedules, such
as wool and sugar, the president is de-
termined that there shall be no change
if he can prevent it. There were even
intimations that he might veto a bin

Farmer Badly Hurt.

Dell Rapids. Fitzgerald, a
farmer Of this region, was seriously
injured and had a narrow escape from
death as the result of being struck by
a binder drawn by runaway horses.
He was operating the binder when the
horses became frightened, and in
striving to hold them he broke one Of
the lines. Fitzgerald then jumped
from the binder and ran toward the
horses for the purpose of catching
them by their heads and Quieting
them when they swerved suddenly
and dashed the binder into him. The
sharp point of the divider struck him
in the left thigh and plowed upward,
tearing a cash 10 inches long and
stripping all the muscles from the
bone. The sickle guards also caught
him and made small perforations in
his side and back, and he was other
wise bruised and cut and one of his
ankles broken. Notwithstanding
these terrible injuries, the young man
started to drag himself toward his
home and had painfully made his way
quite a distance when his father dis
covered him predicament.

Huron.-What is the law in this
state regulating elections at which the
question of issuing licenses to liquor
dealers is submitted to vote of the
people? Is the law in the 1913 session
laws really law or is it not? II it
is not, Is the old law still in effect; or
is there, perhaps, no law at all govern
ing the matter?
These questions are being asked by
Representative Ernest d. EIDE Of Bea-
die county, and an important point in
the discussion raised by Mr.. Eide will
cause much conjecture through the
state.
Representative EIDE points out that
in the 1913 session laws of South Da-
kota on page 376, under Intoxicating
Liquors." the following appears:
~ and II majority Of the
voters Of such township, town or city
voting on such proposition shall vote
in favor of such sale of intoxicating
liquors at retail, the corporate author-
tiles thereof shall grant permission
for such sale for the ensuing year in
accordance with the provisions of this
act"
Now, Mr.. EIDE says further that the
law, known as house bill No. 280, pass
ed the house without the words "vot-
ing on such proposition" which follow
the word "city." While the bill was
before the temperance committee,
which met in open session, the same
question was brought up, motion be-
ing made that this clause be added. It
was voted down, however. In the
house, on February 49,, Representa-
Ruckman Of Brown county, moved
that the bill be amended by adding
these same words after Getty" but
the amendment was lost and the bill
passed the house without it, accord
ing to pages 1023-1024 of the house
Journal for February IS.
The bill was engrossed and went to
the senate. BY reference to the rec
ord Of the senate, senate journal
page 1888 on -Feburay %, Mr. EIDE
finds that the bill passed that body
without amendment. It was then sign
Gu ny the SOVeIu0T.
Z lille definite knowledge gained
from the records at Pierre is neces-
sary to establish the matter. Mr.. Eide
states that only by bringing the ques-
ton before the courts can a settle
ment be arrived at. II the bill passed
both houses in the form 1t appears in
the house journal, then it is not law
as It appears in the session laws.
Furthermore if It did pass the senate
In the same form in which it appears
In the session laws, it is not a law,
because to become one it must have
been passed by both houses.
If this law is not in effect, it is
question whether the old one is in ef-
feet. And if the old one is not in ef-
feet then it may appear that there is
no law on the question.
