The Wrangell sentinel., 1916-10-26

"The action of the members oi the legislature from the Second and Fourth divisions relative to the forestry money, raises the further question of the advisability of ter ritorial division. What are your views upon this subject, if you care to express tnem?'
 My views are and have
 been that the territory should
 be divided. The interests of
 one section seriously conflicts
 with those of the other. In
 law-making particularly this
 condition presents itself, and
 the conflict of interest is ap-
 parent all the time. The Sec
 ond and Fourth divisions want
 roads and insist upon taxing
 us to build them. In this
 part of the territory we do not
 need many roads. Indeed a
 comparatively small road fund
 would take care of all our re- quirements. Most Of our thor
 uughfares are natural water
 courses provided by nature.
 The taxable wealth of the ter ritory is nearly all in the First and Third divisions, yet the
 other two divisions have equal representation with us and are therefore able to either block, if not defeat, any meas ure proposed by the First and Third.
 My personal conviction is
 that the First division should
 be territory by itself, and it
 is abundantly able to maintain an independent territorial gov- ernment. But If this IS not yet possible, then the First and Third should be thrown to. gether as one Territory, or | even a state. but the four di- visions as one territory has not been satisfactory and, In
 my opinion, never will be-"

What is your opinion, Mir. Hickman, relative to the moneys derived from the sale of timber 1T the forest reserves of Alaskan"
 My record in the last ses- sion of the legislature upon that subject speaks tor itself, and 1 have seen no reason to change my views since that time. 1 will, however, again emphasize the fact as have Stated many times before, that in my opinion every dollar of the money derived from the sale of timber taken from the forest reserve belongs to the territorial division in which the timber was taken, there to be used tor the specific purposes set forth in the law. There is absolutely no authority of law for any of this money to be expended in the Second and Fourth divisions, and yet those two divisions forced an equal distribution of this money at the last session, and would probably have taken it all if they could ;"

HON. J. R. HICKMAN, CANDIDATE FOR THE SENATE, ANSWERED
 MANY IMPORTANT QUESTIONS

What about the poll tax law? was asked.
 The poll tax law passed by the legislature in 1913 should be repealed. Such a law op- crates to impose a tax upon great many people who can not afford to pay, and the re. suit Is that a few pay while many more do not, making it, therefore, an negotiable tax. Moreover poll tax, l believe, is an unjust tax and not a proper method of raising rev. enue."
The Wrangell sentinel., 1916-10-26

What about transportation rates3" MT. Hickman was asked.
 ''There is no question but that transportation rates be- tween Puget Sound and Alaska are too high. The rates in ef- feet for years and up to few months ago undoubtedly yield ed handsome profit to the steamship companies. Every indication seems to warrant this belief, and if this assump- tion is correct, than the recent material advance in rates. ap- proximately more than fifty per cent, was unlustly and alto gether exorbitant. The leg islature should do everything in its power to induce the Inter- state Commerce Commission to take a hand in the Alaska rate question to the end that relief may be accorded the trav- cling public and the commer- cial interests of the territory from the extraordinary rates now in effect"

Favors and Promises His Support In the Enact ment of Progressive
 And Remedial
 Measures.

From Ketchikan Progressive-Minerl Hon. ]. K. Hickman is now a Skagway. Before his departure { reporter interrogated MT. Heckmar upon several subjects:
 MT. Heckman, what in youl opinion, should be done with re- ference to caring for the insane ot Alaskan"
 ''I believe,' said Mir. Heck man, that our present policy of farming out our insane to the Morningside Sanitarium at Mount Tabo", Oregon, should be discontinued just as soon as it is possible to doso. The territory of Alaska should be- gin preparations at once for the care and maintenance of its unfortunate insane just as 1t IS today successfully and eco- nomically caring for its aged pioneers. I believe an institu- tion for the care of these peo- pIe could be constructed and maintained in Alaska at no greater cost than the present contract plan, and in a much more satisfactory way.
 ''The contract system has heretofore proven unsatisfac- tory, and there appears no good reason to believe that it will be any better in the fu- ture. lam heartily infav or of the Territory of Alaska pro- ceeding at once to arrange tor the support and maintenance of these unfortunate people at home instead of shipping them to some distant state, away from their relatives and friends and where there can be no ade- quate territorial supervision over the manner in which they are being cared for.
 ''The accomplishment of just such things as this was the very purpose for which a territorial government was ex- tended 10 Alaska; therefore let us have a territorial gov ernment in fact as we'll as In name."

WEST SUFFERS FROM WAR
Little Children Excite the Sympathy
of Those Who Know the Situa-
tion In France.

Of all those who suffer by the war
none make more immediate appeal
to the sympathies than the little chill
dren left alone in the world.
The Committee Franco-American
br the Protection of the Children of
the Frontier has already done noble
work, under the direction Of Mrs.
Bliss, wife of the secretary of the
American embassy at Paris, and Mr..
A. F. Jaccaci, the artist-author,
whose "On the Trail of Don Quix-
ote" is well remembered. The treas
urer is Frederic r. Coudert.
One hundred and twenty-five chill
dren, little ones like those who were
rescued from the region of Belfort,
have been saved from parts of Alsace
recently conquered by French troops,
Ypres and other Flemish towns dew
astated by months of artillery fire.
Shelter has been found for them
in converts and institutions that are
providing a roof, but are so sadly i'm
poverished that the children must go
unfed unless food can be secured
through others. The little ones are
living on IL cents day.

II am unable to reconcile myself that
this controversy should go before
the commission. would like to see
lit arbitrated and l would do almost
anything to avoid the injury to bust
ness which may follow from a strike.
But l am not willing to send this
kind of controversy to a commits
sion which in my judgment has yield
ed of late to the terrific political in
fluence which was brought to bear
upon 1t.
you will recall that the interstate
commerce commission had before it
the per cent rate case and that
after several years Investigation It'll
decided the roads were not entitled
to raise. Now / am not saying that
the roads were or were not entitled
to raise but know that after
that decision was made the admin
istration here began a political pres
sure upon the interstate commerce
commission which finally resulted in
a reconsideration and granting of
rates without any additional testi-
nony whatever and upon ground
and for a reason unknown to the
aw. In my opinion it practically des-
.royed the prestige and standing Of

stances l am not free to comply with

HIGH COST OF PAPER.

Although every newspaper publish
or and printer has long since real.
lied that paper of every kind and
quality has increased in price, there
are some Of the former accustomed
to purchasing their news print stock
In quire lots who have not realized
just what the increase has meant,
says an exchange.
Print paper prices are quoted by
the mills and dealers at pound or
ton rates and from $3.50 per 100
pounds. or 2 IL cents per pound,
have steadily mounted upward until
today publishers are forced to pay
from $475 to Sc per 100 pounds, de-
pending upon the size OF the order,
an increase ranging around 100 per
cent.
News print paper in the six-column
quarto size weighs 2 1-2 pounds to
the quire, and when it was pur-
chased at the 2 IL cent per pound
price cost the buyer 6 IA cents per
qsire. Nov publishers are obliged to|
pay for the same size "a to 81
cents per pound, equivalent to 12I
cents to Is cents per quire.
This increase in the cost of paper
Is cutting deeply into the profits Of
the publisher who is not meeting con-
ditions by raising his subscription
rate. advertising and Job prices.

THE HISTORY OF ARIZONA
How 1t Was Made and Who Made 1t.
[BY FRED III. DAVIS. NAMPA1

The devil given permission one day,
To select him land for his own special sway
So he hunted around for q month more,
And fused and fumed and terribly swore
But at last delighted country view,
Where the prickly pear and the mesquit grew,
With a survey BRIEF without further excuse,
He took his stand on the Santa Cruis.
He there some improvements to make,
For he felt his reputation at stake
An idea struck him, and he by his horns
To make it complete vegetation thorns
He studied the land with the pricky pear
And scattered the cact every where
With Spanish daggers. sharp-pointed and tall,
And at last the Cholla. to outstick them all.
He imported the Apache direct from hell;
legion skunks, whose loud, loud smell
Perfumed the country he loved so we'll.
And then for his life he could not why
The river should any more water supply;
And he if he gave 1t another Drop
You might take his head and horns for mop.
He filled the river with sand till almost dry
And poisoned the laAd with alkal;
And promised himself its Shiny brink,
The control of all who from 1t should drink.
He there was more improvement to make
He imported the scorpion. tarantula snake,
So that all who might come to this country to dwell,
Would be to think it almost hell
He fixed the heat at hundred and seven
And banished forever the moisture from heaven.
And remarked he heard his furnace roar,
That the heat might reach five hundred more.
And after he fixed things so thorny and we'll,
He said "Pll be DID, if this doesn't beat hell"
Then he Topped his wings and away he flew,
And vanished from earth in blaze OF blue
And now no doubt, in some corner OF hell,
He goats DER the work he has done WE'LL
And he VOWS that Arizona cannot be beat
For scorpions tarantuas, snakes and heat;
For with his realm it compares 80 well,
He feels assured 1t surpassed hell.

NATIONAL GOOD ROADS

| LAW WILL HELP IDAHO
| The editor of the Enterprise is in
receipt of a letter from Congress-
man Addison T. Smith, giving his
tory of the legislation that has fl
nally been enacted by Congress pro-.
viding for Federal aid in the con-
struction OF good roads.
'The New Law provides an ap-
preparation of 100000 for the fiscal
year beginning July 1, 1916;
100000 for 1917; $4,000, 900
for 1918; 100000 for 1919, and
SIS 900. 900 for 1920. which sums are
to be expended by the Secretary Of
Agriculture, cooperating with the
State Highway Departments, in the
construction of rural roads over
which the United States mails are
or may be hereafter transported.
"In order to obtain the benefits Of
this act the State must by act of the
Legislature assent to its terms, but
until the Legislature meets the Gov
ernor can assent. The State must
also contribute at least an equal
amount in money. material or labor
toward the construction of any pre-
posed road. The money appropri-
ated by this act will be apportioned
among the various States according
to three factors: one-third In the
ratio which the area of the State
bears to the total area Of all the
States; one-third according to the
population. and one-third according to-
mileage of such routes in the United
States.
Idaho has of the total in the I'm

per cent OF the population. and SO
per cent of the postal route mileage,
of the United States. BY consolidat-
ing these three factors and divid-
inc by three we find that IDAHO Is en-
titled to 1255 per cent Of the total
