The Alaskan., 1932-04-15

The Seward Chamber of Con- merce has been exercised over a report that the Forest Service may withdraw from the Gnu zach National Forest and throw the land therein back into the general public domain. T h e Delegate took this matter up With the Chief of the Forest Service and was informed that the only consideration was to exclude a part of the reserve lying between Seward and An chorage, and to throw it open to settlement. However, there was more or less opposition to this recommendation and it was not approved by the Secretary of Agriculture and has been ab- solutely Side-tracked, for this year at least, and possibly for many years.
 AS the House Committee on Territories has made no report on the bill to repeal the Alaska Bone Dry Law, and probably in~ tends to allow it to die in com mittee, the Delegate on March 22 introduced a new bill to a. mend the penalty for violation of the Alaska law, and which reads as follows: "That every person hereafter convicted of any violation of the Act of Con- greSS entitled 'An Act to pro- hibit the manufacture or sale of alcoholic liquors in the Territory of Alaska, and for other pur- poses, approved Feb. IA, 1917, shall be punished only as pro- vided for in similar cases in the National Prohibition Act and the several Acts amendatory of said National Prohibition Act"
 According to information just made public by Commissioner Henry O'Malley, of the Bureau of Fisheries the United States and Alaska produced 75 per cent of the world pack in 1881, compared with 58 per cent in 1880 and 66 per cent of the average pack in the years from 1926 to 1880, inclusive. According to the estimates, the world pack of canned salmon amounted to n,018,121 standard cases of 48 cans. The pack was among the producing areas as folloWs: Alaska, 5,4O3,- B11 cases; Pacific coast States, ,336,234 cases; Siberia, 1,134,- TOP cases; British Columbia, e85, ,104 cases, and Japan, 45S,- 27O cases. The world pack in 1881 represented a IA per cent decrease compared with the pre- vious year, but it was a decrease Of only 8 per cent from the flve-year average.

 There are a few instances in where a resident and business man would like to in stall a small electric lighting plant for his own domestic needs and also to supply current to a dozen or more neighbors. But to 60 this would subject him to a federal license fee of $500 or more per annum, in accordance with a law passed and approved June 6, 1900. The suggestion has been made that possibly the Delegate might secure the pas sage of bill to relieve small operators from the payment of this license fee.
 After advising with several labor organization representa- tives as to the most desirable phases to include in a bill to give retirement insurance bene- fits to employees of the Alaska Railroad, the Delegate has intro Guced a bill extending the bene- fits of "An Act for the retirement of employees in classified civil service" approved May p, 1920, to the employees of the Alaska Railroad The employees of the

In addition to this distinction, Mount Me- Kinley rises higher from it's base than any other mountain in the world, not excluding the far. famed Himalayas. The total height of the great peak is 20,- 200 feet, and on it's north and west sides it rises abruptly from a tundra covered plateau only 2,500 to 5000 feet above sealevel. Mount Mckinley rises 17,000 feet above timberline, and for lWo-thirdS of the way down from it's summit it is enveloped in snow throughout the year.

 The Davis bill that would for bid the transport of passengers on foreign vessels between ports or places in the United States, either directly Or by way of a foreign port, was twice on the consent calendar of the House and both times objected to. Some of the opponents express the belief that the bill cannot become a law.

 January 29, 1881 Hon. Ed. M. Irwin,
 Chairman Committee on Claims, House Of Representatives, Washington, D. c.
 Dear MT. Chairman:
 Further reference is made to your letter of January IS, trans hitting H. R. 15977, for the re- lief of Clyde Sheldon, to this department for an opinion as to it's merits.
 This bill proposes to direct the Secretary of the Treasury to pay claimant the sum of $250, representing the amount of q fine paid by claimant at Ketchi- kan, Alaska, on October 9, 1929, upon a plea of guilty to the charge of fishing in a closed area in violation of a Federal statute.
 It appears that MT. Sheldon, while lawfully fishing for salm- on, came within the limits of certain bight which had been posted as a closed area. Being detected by an agent of the Bu- reau of Fisheries, he was charg- ed with violation of the Federal statute, pleaded guilty and was fined $250. He asserts that he entered plea of guilty upon advice of the United States at torney that by doing so he would be able to save his boat, It afterwards developed that the blight was not a spawning area for salmon and was not closed by reason of the act of June s, 1924 (c. 272, 43 Stat. 464), nor of any regulation Or determination by the Secretary of Commerce. The warden of the bureau re- ports the markers purporting to close the area were placed by mistake by some person or persons unknown to me and that ro record exists showing when or by whom they were placed" :" MT. Bowers, of the Bureau of Fisheries, thinks tn at some minor officer or employee of the bureau placed the markers eith- CT by mistake or in excess of his authority. MT. Sheldon claims that he was not aware that the area had been posted and he had not seen the markers until after his technical arrest. Under these circumstances l feel that claimant is entitled to the return of his fine, and l therefore recommend the enact ment of the measure. Respectfully, William D. Mitchell, Attorney General

RELIEF Bills
BEING MERGED
La Toilette and CoStigan
Plans Consolidated.

BIZ Scripps-Hotoard Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-One bill
for direct relief for restitution
caused by unemployment, carrying
an appropriation, probably, Of
$375 100000 will be reported out this
week, it is understood, by the senate
committee on manufactures.
The measure will merge the es-
sential feature of the La Toilette
and Costigan bills, hearings on
which just have been concluded,
and, in all likelihood, will bear the
names of both senators.
1t is believed the joint measure
will provide for a board of five to
administer the funds.
The bill is expected to carry out
the principle of grants-in-aid to
states or local communities which
are unable to meet relief demands
and to cooperate with them in
providing funds for both work re-
lief and home relief.
Both the bill introduced by Sem
ator La Toilette, chairman of the
committee, and the one presented by
Senator Edward P. Costigan of Col
orado, have many points in COM
mon. The best features of each. it
is understood, will appear in the
Dill to be reported by the commit
tee, the details of which are being
worked out.

A s1O,OOO,OOO Racket

All the politicians Of both parties. from President
Hoover down who are crying federal economy, have
been put to the test by simple bill introduced in
congress The Mas bill proposes to save si0O0o0oO
a year by the easy device Of abolishing the ONCE Of
postmaster in all nrst-class and most second-class
postofhces Of the country
The postmaster racket is form Of governmental
waste and luxury which the country and the tax
payers can not afford. Each party should pay for
It's party workers instead Of grabbing postmaster
ship and governmental salary while they do VIZ
tually no work for the government.
About one-third OF the 1880 postmasters are po-
litical appointees OF the President many Of them
living on does through the spols system. Describing
the hrst-class and many Of the second-class post
Offices Representative Mas is accurate in stating:
The actual work in these Offices is done by the
assistant postmaster or the superintendent Of mails,
who is an actual civil service employee. The admin
isration OF these postofnces goes regardless Of
who happens to be holding the Office Of postmaster.
The technical knowledge for the actual admin
israion of these postoces is not possessed by the
postmaster who is appointed merely political
award
The main function apparently expected OF the
postmasers is to defend the party and to work for
reelection Of the President who appointed them"
This racket Of course was not invented by the
Republicans; the Democrats play the same game
when they are in power We use the term racket"
adWsedly meaning a system by which the people are
made to pay for something they do not get.
The only strange thing about the Mas bill is
that it stops with the upper-class postmasters 1t
should 20 on up and include of the cabinet and
sub-cabinet officers who draw government pay for
running a party machine and making party speeches
There is the case Of Assistant Postmaster-G General
Glover who runs about the country lining up post
masters to campaign for Hoover on threat Of being
fired Postmaster General Brown, like most of his
predecessors. spends much # not most, Of his time
as a party manager The secretary Of and an
assistant secretary Of the navy find time for party
speeches and party work.
We have nothing against these gentlemen, either
as individuals or as politicians But object to the
system by which federal funds are used to substitute
their party work instead of being used to balance
the federal budget pay federal debts, to feed
the unemployed.
We would not interfere with their work Let the
postmaster general and the secretary of war, for in
stance go on with their heavy party work, and let
their assistants go doing their government jobs
for them.
Merely dock the postmaster general and secretary
OF war for the time they take off from government
vork-and all other federal executives who are not
kept busy on government business.
To talk about government economies and at the
same time wink at such rackets is ridiculous
