 of Ruoy, l stated for their informa- ..on that the 4th division was get ting it's full share of road moneys altbough contributing very little tax fund. and that our board did not distribute its tax fund accord ing 10 the districts or judicial di- visions where collected, but endeay- cred Co allot it eQuitably and ac- cordfas to he needs of different districts, as far IS the fund would go I called attention in the same letter to the fact that the road commission is engaged upon the construction and maintenance of no less than sixty-eight separate projects. besides the overland wagon read, some of the projects embrac- iu- numerous small roads, IS in the Faubauks local system, these projects being scattered from the vicinity of Ketchikau to north or Kotzebue Sound and from valdez to lhs Koyukuk, and that the per cca,age of the tax or Alaska fund provided to carry on this work pro perly. and to meet other demands was yer; inadequate. I also eN- plaiueL that the overland road. .VaIdez-Fairbauks-FOIt Gib- bonr was for the benefit of the whcle interior of Alaska, and con- stituted. together with the Hatnes- Chllkat military road, the argument and reason for appropriations made by military committees of congress
 Referring again to your district, or first judicial diyisOn, l will as sure you that our board does not fail to recognize it's needs. nor it's rights 10 a fair proportion of ex- peud.tures on road projects, Any or the projects mentioned in the petition 10 our board and agreed to by me ac our last conference which may not be taken up this season, Will merely be delayed for a short time only, it is hoped, and in the meanwhile existing roads will be repaired and maintained in good condition as possible The high water in parts of the territory dur ing ta. last few weeks has done considerable damage to our roads a1d makes necessary additional and unexpected expenditure for their repair.
 The whole trouble about the read situation in Alaska is pri- maril' of course, a lack of suffi- ctent funds to accomplish what $ really needed for the territory's de- velopment. have exerted my best efforts to have this situation recoE- uizsL and taken care of, and the war department has been liberal in its support, but the army appropria- ton bill cannot carry money for the commercial development of Alas ka. The secretary of war in a letter to the secretary of the in terjur. Jan. 12, 1914, stated in connection with a special estimate submitted by me for $75O,OOO, that, Tn the opinion of the board of road commissioners and other par uas having interest in the matter, the time has come for an expan- sion O this work of road building | to all extent that makes it impos- siJl. to consider it a military en- terprise." This gives the reason | for referring the matter to the sec rttary of the interior flor consid- 1 eratiou and such action as he 1 might deemed advisabIe;" and also | conveys the suggestion that the | initial steps toward securing in- creased appropriations for road .

States government We must make the most of the fact and be con tent with the knowledge that we have asked for nothing unreasonable or unjust.
 So much for the forest reserve fund. The funds of the board of Alaska road commissioners are derived from two sources, first from congress by appropriations for the army bill for the construc- tion and maintenance of military
 and post roads, and second by
 percentage of the federal tax mon eys collected in Alaska and placed
 in what is known as the Alaska
 fund. The amount that has been
 appropriated by congress up to
 the c!ose of last year is $1'64S'- mo and this has practically
 all been spent in the Third and
 Fourth divisions, but as this money
 ia expended by the war department
 for military purposes 1t does mot
 enter into the question we nave under discussion The board ,of
 road commissioners have received and expended from the federal oc-
 equation and license taxes in Alas
 ka the sum of $1,2OS,152. This
 has been expended In the different
 divisions as follows: First DiVison .. e. =. SA41'o"4
 Second Division .... 24''4 !
 Third Divison e. e.. .. SVo'oS0
 Fourth Division e.. e. oOS'oV4
 The Second division has received twice, as much as the First; the Third division has received consld- erable more than twice as much and the Fourth division has re- ceiyed nearly four times the amount of the First division. In this connection 1t must be taken into consideration that the FITS divson has paid in practically one third of these taxes. Col. Richard, son states that he has recognized these facts, but that his board ] for the past several years haV' assumed that the forest moneys would be expended where derived , Or practically all in the First dl : vison, and would thus tend to pal ance the expenditures for the en' ! tire territory. and yet some papers in the interior call Us hoggish foi asking for what we have been con fidently expecting and waiting fol several years and what Is conceded to us by all disinterested parties . After the legislature passed the law dividing the forest fund' l I'm 7 medlately introduced the Memorla - to the Alaska road commission. Th'

 The telegram from Nome referred to by Col. Richardson in the at tdched letter was as follows:

 "Allotments by our board road work your district based on pre- sumption that division of forestry funds would be accepted as fixed by legislature.

 Richardson.
 The attached letter explains this telegram and this letter was writ ten before the decision of the court in the forestry fund case The letter from Colonel Richardson throws considerable light on the road situation and shows that the project in s.

MUST HELP If STANLEY
IS a SUCCESS

Many papers throughout Kentucky
and many prominent people, also,
are writing and talking a great
deal on "What great opportunity
Mr.. Stanley has" They write and
talk about the public debt, about
clean elections, about the tax
system, and that the public should
be brought face to face with the
distressing financial conditions.
Now what are they going to do to
help Mr.. Stanley No living man
can handle the reins Of government
without cooperation from the peo-
pie, but in Kentucky, sad to say,
a big majority of these papers and
people, who have been bringing
these conditions before the public,
are against Mr.. Stanley at heart.
They would be glad to see his adj
ministration failure If they
have the interest of the state at
heart they will pitch in and not
only offer up prayer Tor Governor
Stanley's administration, but aid
him in every way possible to place
the old state high up in the list
of great commonwealth of the
nation. Without your help he is
helpless. Without the aid Of the
legislature his work for the good
bf the state will amount to nil. If
Ehe lobbyists who have swarmed
kround Frankfort for years are
Allowed to continue their nefarious
york, Kentucky will go backward
Instead of forward. Mr.. Stanley

KEEP YOUR NOSE AT unnE

! Isn't it about time for the gov
eminent to call a halt on the rap
idly growing habit of certain
American people poking their noses
into Europe's affairsf
Their meddlesome advice has not
been solicited and it will not be
needed, and the only visible effect
win be the bringing of our own
country into disrepute in the eyes
of the peoples Of all nations, a
condition which may easily lead
to serious trouble for US in the
near future.
When European governments at
war with each other will not listen
to the tenders Of good offices from
the heads of neutral nations, what
reason have we to suppose that they
would give even a thought to the
blatant demands Of private Ameri-
can citizens who apparently think
more of newspaper notoriety than
they do of peace?
The great mass Of our Americans
of all degree are sane and SEN
sible people, who attend strictly to
their own affairs. But we are
cursed with a minority who are
never happy unless they can get
into the newspaper headlines, and
they viii go to extreme lengths to
satisfy their insane cravings.
By strenuous work the United
States has managed to keep out Of
the European entanglements thus
far, although our prestige has
suffered to a degree.
We can not afford to be drawn
into it through the officious med
ding of irresponsible American no.
toriety seekers who persist in polk
ing their noses in the European
face.
Europe will settle its war in its
own way when the right time
comes. In the meantime let the
government insist that the Amer-
can nose be kept at home.
