The new bill If passed. will pro vide that a certain portion of the license moneys of the territory now dispensed by the Alaska Road com mission be turned over to the terri torial legislature to do with as it sees fit It is understood that lt der a request contained in me morial passed at the last session of the legislature and forwarded to the speaker of the house, the president of the senate. the dele gate himself and the President of the United States.
 According to the statements made by prominent members of the auto mobile club the organization Is not protesting against the turning over of the license moneys to the terri tory. It is objecting. however. to that portion of the bill introduced by Delegate Wickersham which gives the legislature power to alter, amend, modify or repeal the act of con gress entitled An Act to Provide for the Construction and Mainten- ance of Roads, etc"
 The reason for the objection, as stated at the meeting, is that the last named provision gives the Al aska legislature power to do with the Alaska Road commission as it Ishng it. And it is contended that such a proceeding would have the effect of stopping all appropriations by the government for Alaska roads

W|CKERSHAM IS
 THERE" AGAIN
 F0R HIS PEOPLE
DELEGATE WILL NOT PUSH BILL OBJECTED TO BY THE
 COMMERCIAL CLUB.

Delegate from Alaska to Congress James Wickersham has again dem onstrated his oft reiterated inten- tion to never do anything in his approve of his action The demon stration came in the shape of a wire to the Fairbanks Commercial club assuring that body that the delegate will not urge the passage of his bill which places the control of the Alaska Road commission in the hands of the territorial legisla- ture, at this session of congress Which wire is taken to mean that, while the delegate will not with draw the bill at the present time as requested by the Commercial club and by the resolution of the automobile club, he will not urge its passage until the next session of congress. In the meantime he will probably come north after the present session of congress adjourns and learn the wishes of his constit uents in the matter.
 What will be done then remains to be seen, for, although there seems to be considerable sentiment in the territory and particularly in Far banks against the passage of the bill, its defenders contend that the territory of Alaska is capable of looking after it's own affairs.
 But, at any rate. the fears of those who think that the passage of the bill would have the effect of withdrawing government road funds from the territory have been allayed for the present by the wire received by the commercial club from the delegate. The wires which were exchanged were as follows: Honorable James Wickersham,
 Delegate from Alaska, Washing ton, D. c.
 Your house bill number four six four eight now pending before con gress apearS to us after thorough consideration dangerous at this time to the welfare of Alaska, especially regarding immediately needed road construction so necessary for de velopment of country. We urgently appeal to you that such bill be with drawn, believing this action impera tive to our best interests. Advise immediately by wire whether you can comply with this request.
