courage the continued development of the territory
 "On my recent visit to Washington, D. C., urged this action, even though war was then virtually at an end, but it seems that legislation is lack ing to enable the government to estab- fish lines of transportation to Alaska. The secretary of the interior agrees with me that the territory can not come to full development under pres ent conditions, and he would have in connection with the government railroad, had he been legally able. do not believe we can obtain any as- sistance from the federal government. If such thing is humanly possible, we must therefore endeavor, through ter ritorial legislation, to come to the re- lief of the territory.
 At the present moment it does not seem possible that we can appropri- ate sufficient funds to fully cover the shipping needs of Alaska, but it is my firm belief that we can start in a small way by perfecting an organiza- tion to commence operations, and the legislature can have introduced into the congress of the United States a bill authorizing the territory to as- sume bonded indebtedness of s5,000,000 or the amount thereof nee essary, to purchase, charter and op- crate sufficient ships to take over practically the entire ocean traffic of Alaska I believe that congress will grant us the necessary authority, as no federal expenditure will be in volved
 q do not pretend to be an expert in the shipping business, but I do know that during the period that the Alaskan Engineering Commission op- erated the old transport Crook, ves- sel entirely unfitted for freight ham, ding, engineering supplies and equip ment were carried between Seattle and Anchorage at rates per ton far below company tariffs, and this with only a one-way haul.
 "This past winter, with assistance in the department of the interior, and after consultation with the United States Shipping Board, estimating for one ship only, on the freight offerings of the Alaskan Engineering Commis- sion and south-bound freight of ship pers discontented with present condi- tions, I found that this one ship could be made to pay handsome profit. was forced to abandon the idea, however, for the reason that existing lines, being deprived of this revenue, might discontinue sailings for ports west of Cordova, thus cutting off even the present unsatisfactory service.
 "The attorney general of Alaska ad- vises me that there is no legal reason why the territory can not operate its own steamships, and I firmly believe that line run by trained shipping men will result in lower freight and passenger rates, better service, better mail deliveries, and at the same time provide sinking fund to pay off the incurred bonded indebtedness. A mo- table saving in favor of territorial versus private operation is found in the act entitled TO provide revenue and other purposes,' approved by the

MESSAGE OF GOVERNOR RIGGS
 T0TERRITORIAL LEGISLATURE
 0NTRANSP0RTATIONPRO

The message of Governor Thomas Riggs, Jr., to the territorial legislature, in which he outlined plan for ter ritorially-owned steamship line to meet the increased transportation charges, was as follows:
 Juneau, March 26, 1919. "To the Senate and House of Repre-
 sentatives
 "I have viewed with apprehension the recent increase in freight and pas senger tariffs by the steamship com panies operating between Seattle, Wash, and the various ports of the territory of Alaska. During the year 1918 rates were increased over and above those obtaining in 19117, the reason set forth being that war con- ditions had greatly increased operat- ing expense. Extensive hearings were held on the subject of freight rates in both Alaska and in the States. The contention of the steamship companies was upheld. On March 19 of this year still further increased tariffs be- came effective
 When will these increases cease? War conditions no longer exist. Slowly the abnormal prices brought about by abnormal conditions are commencing to readjust themselves. It would seem that new rates becom- ing effective should be lowered instead Of increased. Small competing lines have been eliminated. The people of the territory have not been advised as to the necessity for a further in crease in tariffs, nor do I believe that such necessity exists. Federal agen- cies are either unable or are loath to exercise restraining influences.
 Tt is evident to all of us that ter r1torlal development can not continue when operating under the handicap of almost prohibitive freight and pas senger rates. If press reports are to be believed, already the rates between Seattle and Southwestern Alaska are greater than rates across the Pacific. At Nome the retail price of coal is in the neighborhood of $35 per ton. While l was there last summer if was r,,- mored that the price of this commod- ity would advance during the winter to $40 per ton. Increased cost of coal in Nome means the death of the com mun1ty as winter camp Only the rich will be able to afford the com mon comforts of life.
 Tn the interior of Alaska the peo. pie are already overburdened with high rates, which are largely respon- slble for gradual closing down of low-grade placer operations The pop- ulation is decreasing, and further de- crease in population will make it diff ficult for existing river transportation lines to find enough traffic to warrant further operation.
 Tn my annual report to the secre- tary of the Interior I advocated:
 That the United States shall take over for the period of the war and until such time as conditions shall re- adjust themselves to a pre-war status all transportation by steamships or railroad lines to and in the territory of Alaska, charging such freight and passenger tariffs and maintaining such schedules as will allow and en-
