PAYNE IS OPPOSED ID HOME RULE FOR
 ALASKA JUST NOW

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. g. In his annual report to Congress. which was released for publication yesterday, Secretary of the Interior John Barton Payne declares in favor of the establishment of q Govern ment line of steamships to Alaska, "even at loss, to provide an ade- quate service at reasonable rates.
 The secretary opposes any large measure of self government than !S provided under the existing organic act. This is regarded as an indication of sympathy with the Lane develop ment board idea. but it appears that he regards the coordination of act. ivities through the inter-department- al board as offering the best cure for the situation.
 He points out the need of opening the country through railroad sys- tenn and better ocean transporta tion and, as a solution of that prob lem. recommends the consolidation of the two present steamship com panies. And failing that, Govern ment service under the Shipping board

 SOUNDS WARNING

Continuing, he said: "rhe world recently learned that we.a are not too proud to fight or afraid when forced into war"

GOVERNOR RIGGS URGES CONGRESS
 ID FREE ALASKA

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. g. An appeal for greater coordination of policies in the government of Alaska and the greatest possible measure of self-government" runs through a series of recommendations for the government of Alaska, con- tained in the annual report of Gov ernor Thos. Riggs, Jr., which was made public yesterday.
 "Sentimentalists" the report says, "are doing more damage to Alaska than can ever be undone unless a broad policy of development is un- dertaken which will recognize the rights of invested capital and the welfare of the individual. Laws should govern instead of regula- tions, but where regulations are necessary they should be promul- gated by authority located within the territory"
 The report urges the definition of some sort of colonial policy, assert ing that the lack of such a policy has caused capital to turn to British Columbia.
 The governor recommends the enactment of the pending develop ment board bill, declaring that the measure will do more good for the territory than any other legislation, and that it is opposed only by the bureaus at Washington.
 Other recommendations include the improvement of transportation in Alaska, the enactment of the Me Fadden bill, the amendment of the organic act to provide for full terri torial powers for Alaska, legislation transferring to the territory jurisdic- tion over fish, game and fur animals in Alaska, the amendment of the coal leasing law so as to exempt lessees from the payment of royalty during the first five years, the estab- lishment of a federal police force, extension of the farm loan act to the territory, transfer from the fed eral to the territorial treasury of the Alaska fund, authorization for the construction of federal buildings
