AWIGK" SQJIRMS AROUND JUNEAU
 PUBLIC BUILDING

Extract from Delegate Wicker shams Juneau speech:
 'q secured the law appropriating $500, 900 for building the capitol ct [ Juneau"
 In the first place there is no such law, and # you don't elect Sulzer, Mir. Voter we may have to send Jim King to Washington again.
 The fact o- tne matter is that the Delegate has never acted in this matter except under compulsion, as shown by the following letter ad- dressed to him by Secretary Mic Adoo:
 "Hon. James Wickersham,
 House Of Representatives,
 Washington, D. c.
 "sir:
 T have the honor to call to your attention to the present situation oin connection with the proposed Foder' al Building at Juneau, Alaska.
 There Is available for the ocn- struction of the building the sum of SI77, ,50000. Sketches have been com menced for a two story and basement building Of about 10,50O square feet ground -area which will be required to accommodate the Post Office, Gus tom Service, General Land Office, Bureau of Mines and the Steamboat Inspection Bureau. The walls are proposed to be of such sibze as will bo sufficient to carry an additional story.
 "The experience obtained in con- structing the Executive Mansion at Juneau indicates that the present fund is insufficient to erect the building as projected and described above. and that an increase of $15O,- 000.00 in the present limit will be necessary for this purpose, includ- ing a cost of at least $15,00OOO in connection with the approaches. ow- lng to tho natural contour of the site

The following article, giving con- crete facts and figures regarding the result of prohibition in the South. is reprinted from Finance:
 Without being active partici- pants in the cause of prohibition, and holding no brief for the liquor interest, many representative citi- gems of this section are today trying to figure out the net results, both financial and moral, of the prohi- ton laws which have been in op- eration for the past few years in some of the southern states They have not requested information on the subject from men who are in- terested in breweries or distilleries, nor have they appeadel to leaders In the past temperance crusades for facts, pertaining to the results of this new southern experiment. On the contrary. they have sought light on the question from the only unprejudiced source officials who receive and disburse moneys of the municipalities and the states.
 "Aa exhibition of the facts which have come to the surface as re- suit of these inquiries should be welcome to every fair-minded Amer ican, no matter what his predilec- tions may have been in the past for truth knows no preferences; it asks no favors and makes no apol- ogies! It simply demands a hear ing.
 Let us glance for a moment at certain facts which have recently forced themselves into prominence without the aid of prohibitionists or antiprohibitionists: Alabama is now struggling with a deficit of about SS,OOO,OOO, which appears to be the result of prohibition. To bring the municipal conditions, in concrete form, into plain review, we will cite the city of Birmingham. This city, according to an editorial published in the Survey of Septem- ber, 1915, has discontinued its and garbage collec- tion. It has dispensed with its health officer, city physician and market inspector, extinguished half the lights. cut the school term from nine to seven months, and reduced by 10 per cent the salaries of teach CTS who were receiving over S75 a month. It has discontinued one third of it's police force; and put the remainder on a 12-hour shift. ItI closed several fire stations, stopped every cent of its appropriations to children's homes and char tiles, and reduced by one-third the allowance for the maintenance of parks. In short the city has cut its expenses $30,00O It was com pelled 10 make this cut because it costs the city S1,228,629 @ year to and only $896,556 was available.
 "Then, again, more people are en- gagged in the production of illicit liquor in Alabama than ever before, | despite the earnest efforts of the | secret service officials to stamp it 1 put. There were 179 illicit distil- cries seized and destroyed in 1906; m 1914 the number had risen to 'Os.

For lack of funds Georgia has been compelled to hold up the sal aries of school teachers, and re- gently has had to place an additional $S,5OO,OOO bond issue on the mar ket. n tr
 Prohibition in Georgia has been the means of stimulating the illicit sale of intoxicants never before ex- perienced There were SOP illicit dlstllIerIes seized in 1914 as against S7S in 1906. n,l Int 70
 What has been the effect of sey- en years of prohibition in Tennes- see? At least S6,OO0,O00 worth of property was destroyed and 10000 men thrown out of employment as an initial result, while the final re- suit, as it appears at this writing, is that the expense of the govern ment has more than doubled since the law went into effect and there is a deficit of $1,O22,0OO in the state revenues.
 "As a consequence of the loss in revenue taxes has been greatly in- creased. The tax commission of the Tennessee State Manufacturers Association, after an exhaustive in gestigation, reported: There is a tendency throughout the state to increase taxes on an already over burdened people, both by constant increase of the assessments as well as the rate. Economy in public af- fairs. whether state, city or country, is the exception and not the rule
 Illicit distilleries have abound ed in Tennesse as in other south ern prohibition states. In the year 1906 there were but 54 establish ments Of this kind seized, while in r914 249 were destroyed.
 "Nashvine, in particular, has oeen plunged into serious financial trou- ble. Without submitting the ques- tion to a vote of the people, the city sold bonds in the sum of S087O0O to make up a deficit brought about largely by the cutting off of priv ilege license money formerly paid by liquor sellers. i't i"N
 "The enforcement of the law in Tennessee has made vacant more than 600 business houses in the four largest cities Of the state. and 75 per cent. of them are vacant to- day They formerly yielded to their owners an average monthly income of $50. Thus will be seen that there is an economic loss to these property owners of about S96O,OO0 a year.
 "1n July, 1915, West Virginia en- tered its first year of statewide pro- hibition, and years experience has resulted in the highest rate of tax ation ever known in this history of the state. The Yost law deprived the state treasury of $65O,0OO year in licenses formerly taken out by the liquor dealers. The several counties of the state that had re- tained the license system under To- cal option were deprived of like The state increased taxes of all kinds to make up the loss, and the cities and counties did the same.% .l.

 "You are advised that work on tho drawings has been suspended AND THE MATTER IS SUBMITTED TO YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION AND AN EXPRESSION or YOUR VIEWS IN THE PREMISES.
 Respectfully
 "W. c. McADOo, Secretary"
 Replying to tho above letter, tho Delegate wrote to tho Secretary as follows;
 "Hon. W. G. McAdoo,
 Secretary of tho Treasury,
 Washington, D. c.
 "Sir:
 Tn answer to your letter of March 1Tth advising me that an additional appropriation is needed for Che com pletlon of the public building at Ju- neau, Alaska, in accordance with plans being prepared, and suggest ing that m additional appropriation must be added # provision is mado for the housing of the Territorial Legislature and library and museum, have the honor to advise you that have this day introduced 9 bill increasing the cost of said public building at Juneau by $450,0OO.
 "While l am anxious to secure the construction of the public building at Juneau equal to tho necessities Of the Territory, yet AM SOME WHAT DISTURBED AT BEING REQUIRED TO DO TT AT THIS TIME, for l greatly desire to secure the passage of bill authorizing the location of @ public building at Fair banks, and providing an appropria ton for the one authorized at Cor dova. There is also great necessity for @ public building at Ketchikan, but have determined to follow your suggestion and complete the one at Juneau, following the plans, hop ing to get the other necessary build ings as fast as possible. l will send you copy of the bill authorizing the increased cost of the Juneau building tomorrow.
 Respectfully
 JAMES WICKERSHAM."
 So the record shows that the Secre- tary built a little fire under Fight ing" C? Jim Wickersham, and made him introduce Che bill, which the Delegate says, 'T AM SOMEWHAT DISTURBED AT BEING REQUIRED TO DO AT THIS TIME" This bill, like so many introduced by the Dele gate, is peacefully sleeping in the Committee, although he had the ef- frontery to tell the people of Ju- neau CT secured the law appropriat- Ing S5O0O00 for building che capitol at Juneau"
 The Legislature has memorialized Mir. Wickersham to procure the cree ton Of the building. The people Of Juneau have never made any special fuss about it It is merely In the interest of the public service that 1t Is desired, and these facts are in- serted only for the reason that they prove to all fair.minded men the REAL CHARACTER OF JAMES WICKERSHAM.
