SECRETARY LANE
SUBMITS ALASKA REPORT
Recommends Creation Of Board to
Have Complete Control
Of Affairs
Of Affairs

49,
Washington. June 1.-Secretary
Lanes report to congress in which he
strongly recommends the creation Of
a development board to have complete
control Of all governmental affairs in
Alaska connected with the natural
resources and development Of that
territory; attracted considerable, at
tention at the capital today. The
proposed board would consist Of three
members appointed by the president,
its headquarters would be in Alaska
and it would do the work now done
there by the general land officS the
forest service. the road commission,
the bureau OF mines, the bureau of
education and the secretary of the in
terror and part Of the work and au-
thority of the bureau Of fisheries.
Measures are now pending in congress-
along the lines suggested by Score.
tary Lane and 1t was believed today
that the secretary's report would give
impetus to the enactment of the pro-
posed legislation.
Secretary Lane in his report sharp
ly' arraigns present red tape meth
DDS in the administration Of govern
ment affairs in Alaska. He points out
that at present each of at least
score of government bureaus in Wash
ington have something to do with the
government of Alaska, resulting in a
vast amount of red tape and circum-
ulocution in the administration OF
public affairs. The secretary cites
instances of delays of several years in
the handling of uncomplicated land
and other matters which should have
been disposed of.
Our present system of government
in Alaska is heterologous, (cumber-
some) says the. secretary. Instead of
one government there we have mum
Der interlocked, overlapped, cumber-
some and confusing. Experience has
demonstrated that efficient administra-
ton is best secured by centralzing re.
sponsibility and authority in the
J hands of few men who can be held
! to strike accountability for We result
! of their actions. The proposed de-
velopment board 70. ALASKA follows
this modern and we'll tested plan for
securing efficient administration.
In pointing out some of the red
! tape caused by the present division
and multiplication Of authority In
Alaska, Secretary Lane cited the case
of a citizen who wanted to lease an
island for fox farming. The party car
ried on a correspondence with three
: different departments for several
months in an effort to learn which had
jurisdiction and authority to make the
, lease. 1t was finally decided, he said
that none OF them possessed this au-
thority.
/ The difficulty Of securing accurate
/ information as to Alaskan revenues
and disbursements on account OF be-.
ing handled by SO many agencies Is
pointed out by the secretary who ad-
yocates a budget system.
Figures ARE given which showed
! that while Alaska's receipts in 1913
we're only $SO2,613, her expenditures
! we're 5000 $50, a deficiency which in
the secretary's opinion is by no
I means discouraging and one that may

LEGISLATION AGAINST
TIPPING

The Canadian parliament is passing
a bill imposing flne of 800 for CIV
ing or receiving tip, or permitting
an employee to receive one. If this
law works well, there will be a move
to place it on the statute books of
our states.
The Canadians are more tractable
and phlegmatic, and take more kind
ly to state regulation than do our
people. But our tipping system causes
intense irritation, and is heavy tax
on statesmen and others whose bust
ness requires constant travel.
An unenforced law is not merely
dead wood, but 1t tends to make a
joke of all law. 1t VIII not be the
least use to enact statutes against tip
ping unless the American people re-
ally mean to end the practice.
Landlords have never realized what
a large support there would be for
strictly mo tip hotels and restaur-
ants. Few people like the dilemma
that tipping places on them. II thev
do tip, they know they are the VIC
tim Of a graft II they don't, they Zee!
they have been mean to a working
man. II the associations of CONNER
cial travellers would band themselves
together to patronize mo tip" houses,
a strong basis of support would he
given to such establishments. ..,
A statute might well be passed as
an experiment. making It illegal to
tip on the railroads. The tip to tho
sleeping car porter is not usually
compensation for additional service
performed, It is merely n gratuity 70
the company that pays the porter's
salary.
In choosing restaurants, the man
who dislikes tipping can at least Sc
lect less aristocratic places where the
custom has little hold In railroad
travel he has no such choice, but is
practid flly forced to contribute a sup
pleme ltary price to the company for
his comfort, This is contrary to the
theory Of a common carriers service.
