AN IMPORTANT ITEM FOR ALASKA IN AMENDMENT Gen. Richardson Writes Friends That Sulzer
 Getting Results for
 Northland. HELP ROAD BUILDING The Work of Getting Road Appropriations Made
 Much More Simple
 from Now on.
HELP ROAD BUILDING

In letters written recently to friends in Alaska, Brigadier General Wilds p. Richardson, formerly president of the Alaska Road Commission, has stated that he considers the amend ment, which Charles A. Sulzer, Dele gate from Alaska, succeeded in tack ing on to the War Appropriations bill, one of the most important piec' es of legislation put through in number of years for the benefit or Alaska. The amendment referred to by the Brigadier General is the one whereby the Secreary of War is au- thorized, in the future, to make esti- mates for roadbuilding in Alaska.
 To many Alaskans it is also inter- esting to note that the Delegate from Alaska secured an amendment bene- ficial to the Territory to the largest appropriation bill ever passed by Congress- The bill carried appropria- tions aggregating almost thirteen bill lion dollars and as it was rushed through the House with practically no debate it was the more remark able that the Delegate secured the adoption of the amendment, in the face of opposition.
 Ever since the organization of the Alaska Road Commission the Secre- tary of War has asked for various sums annually for road work in Alaska These estimates were made without legislative authority and sometimes in the face of opposition in Congress. The road items were always subject to a point of order and several times the point was raised, with the result that the items were stricken. Fortunately, and due principally to the work of friends of General Richardson in the Senate, and last year to the combined efforts of the General and MT. Sulzer the items were restored and finally passed.
 These points of order became so embarrassing to the War Department, however, that the Secretary finally let it be known that he would never ask for funds again for road building in Alaska, except for maintaining the highways then in existence And so 1t was that he only asked for $10O, 900 this year.
 When MT. Sulzer introduced his amendment in Congress, on the floor of the House, there was opposition raised by the chairman of the Mil O-. Al Delegate mad speech on the sub ject the objection was withdrawn
 : Now General Richardson, MT. Sul- ger and others familiar with the sit nation in Washington believe that the Secretary of War will ask for large appropriation for road building. next year, one that will assist ma serially in the development of the Territory.

The committee tomorrow will take
up the question OF increasing tie to :

1t is understood that in the matter
OF liquor taxes a majority Of the com
mittec has evolved the Idea that tac

100000 by doubling the liquor taxes
and. az an alternative proposition. a
series of taxes on coffee. tea, sugar and
other articles IN general use to. raise

would be told that unless the liQrcr
taxes were agreed to and the prohibit.
ton measure headed off. the heavy tax
would be laid on every breakfast table
TO nit the consumer OF the articles In

The origination OF this scheme is
credited to some of the opponents OF
the pending prohibition measure. They
seem TO be of the belief that II the
threat of stiff consumption tax Is
held over the heads of congressman,
many of them would be slow to vote
to kill off the traffic in liquor and
impose a consumption tax that might
prove to be universally unpopular.
