TO GET
 ROAD TRANSFER
 UNSUCCESSFUL
Transfer of Richardson Highway to Interior
 Dept. Revoked

An effort to have the Richard son Highway transferred from the jurisdiction of the Alaska Road Commission to the Interior De- paa-tment made a short time ago, failed only because President Hooy- CT lacked authority to make the change. according to adyices just received by the Alaska Territorial Chamber of Commerce from the Seattle Chamber of Commerce. What few details of the matter are available were made public today by M. s. Whittier, Secre- tary oi the Territorial organiza- tion
 An order was issued by ths President for the transfer, but was withdrawn after several days when he was advised it could not be legally done without specific leg islative authority from Congress Whether an effort will be made to get this authority is not known here.
 No Reason Assigned
 Charles D. Garfield Manager of the Alaska Department of tht Seattle Chamber, writing to MT Whittier quoted the advices re- ceived by the latter organization from Washington which first dis closed the matter. It said nC reason was assigned flor the is suance of the order" but it wa suspected that it was intended tC let the Highway fall into disre- pair.
 The competition suffered by the Alaska Railroad from motor buss- es and trucks operating last year over the Highway is believed tC have been at the bottom of the attempted change in its status The raise in passenger and freight tariffs over the railroad is frank ly admitted by the rail manage ment to have resulted in the di- version of considerable freight anc much passenger business to the motor vehicles. La~t season 1,20f passengers were carried over tht highway, and in the same perioc the railroad suffered a decline Q; about 1000 passengers from tn, previous year.
 Seattle Deprecates Order
 The Alaska Committee of tht Seattle Chamber, to which tht matter was referred, deprecated the action vigorously, leaving nt doubt about it's interest in Alasks affairs, MT. Garfield said. He hae no suggestion or any remedial ac- tion to be taken. but since tht order was withdrawn after ht wrote MT. Whittier, none is nov necessary.
 No additional information could be had here on the subject. Tht Governors office and the Alasks Road Commission, both of whom were consulted by MT. Whittier said they had absolutely no know ledge Of any proposal for such 6 transfer.

Bayers at the time of his death was skip per of the Prince of Wales, which was scheduled to make commercial voyages between Juneau and Se- attle.

men go down on the books as suffer-
ing from service-connected disabil-
tiles. Congress thus took the re-
sponsibility for saying that things
happened in the World war which
did not happen.
Still another odd law was passed,
declaring that all men shall be pre-
Sumed to have been in sound
physical condition when they en-
tered the service.
To pile another absurdity upon
the woodpile of veteran legislation
a congressional ukase declared that
the war, for disability compensation
purposes, ended in 1921. This opened
the compensation pay roll to men
who never had a chance to risk life
or limb, because they did not get
into the army before the armistice.
Thrift Is Discounted
Under inspired legislation, war
risk insurance has been made into
an acturial nightmare, with a bill
lion-dollar liability over and above
premiums. In addition, there is a
serious movement afoot to forgive
interest on bonus loans. This will
reduce. or wipe out premiums on
converted government life insur-
ance held by 100000 thrifty vet
Grams.
Philosophy of this republic
= ~oughout its history has been that
the government had the right to call
upon its citizens to take up arms in
times of emergency. Such a duty
was an obligation of citizenship. and
the United States supreme court re-
peatedly has decreed that no one
could become a citizen who would
not bear arms under such circum-
stances.
Nowhere in the basic law of the
United States is there any admis-
sion that enlistment in times of
emergency implies a contract be-
tween the soldier and the govern
ment by which the country is to paw
the citizen afterward for defending
institutions which he presumably
believes are worth fighting for.
Lobby Presses Legislation
Present veteran relief legislation
has piled up under constant urging
by a veterans lobby, of which the
American Legion has been the
spurhead. The American public has
not understood the inference and
consequences back of these laws.
Voters have not been critical. be-
cause of their patriotic belief that
their taxes were going to aid those
injured in service or the depend
entS of those who died in the war.
Flaming appeals have been made
constantly, both to congress and the
public, for passage of the various
measures. A typical example of
such appeals is contained in a wide
ly circulated pamphlet published in
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1932-04-19
