concerning emergency service.
without advertising therefor"
The striking of these words would
absolutely prevent the Postmaster
General from giving emergency ser
vice at any time or under any cir
oumstances Not a year has passed
since 1901 when it has not been
necessary for the Postmaster Cen
aral to give some emergency service
aomewhere in Alaska Since I have
been here I have received several
elegrams from different communi-
lies in Alaska saying that the mail
had piled up or could not come
through and asking me to take the
matter up with the Postmaster Gen
eral and have the mail brought
in Immediately. In every case this
has been done and the people, par
ticularly along the Yukon, have
been able to get service of mail
that they could not otherwise OBJ
tain. for if the Postmaster General
were required to advertise, at least
SO and probably 80 days would be
consumed thereby and so the service
could not be given within a reacon-
able time.
Accordingly l objected to the SEN
ate amendment because it changed
existing law which had been in eff
feet since 1901 and which had new
er been opposed. to the best of my
knowledge, by any residents of AL
aska. Conference was held on the
bill and l appeared before the con-
ference committee and it was final
ly agreed that the words without
advertising therefor" should remain
in the bill but that the eXpendi-
ture by the Postmaster General in
any one year for emergency service
in Alaska without advertising
should be limited to $4,000, The
bill was passed in this form. and it
now so stands.

ing. This is distinctly not the fact
The only really new part of the re
cent Act is contained in the last
few lines which read as follows:
and he (the Postmaster Gener-
all is authorized. in his discre-
ton, to contract, after adyer-
tisement in accordance with
law, for the carriage of all
classes of mail within the Ter
ritory of Alaska, by airplane,
payment therefore to be made
from the appropriation for star
route service in Alaska"
The Post Office Appropriation
Bill for the year 1901 contained
provision reading as follows:
THAT the Postmaster General
Is authorized to provide diff
cult or emergency mail service
in Alaska, including the estab-
lishment and equipment of re-
lay stations, in such manner as
he may think advisable without
advertising therefor"
This provision was carried in ev-
cry succeeding Post Office Appropri-
alton Bill up to and including the
year 1925. During all of those years
the Postmaster General had the
authority to use any part of the
star-route appropriation for Alaska
to give emergency mail service
wherever the same might be re-
quired in the Territory.
In 1925 Delegate Sutherland in
troduced a bill to enact this pro-
vision that had been carried in the
annual Post Office Appropriation
Bills since 1901 into a permanent
law. The bill received the approval
of both Houses of Congress and was
approved by the President on Febru-
airy 81, 1925. 1t may be found in
43, Statutes at Large, at page $50,
or 80 U. S. Code page ass. Mr.
Sutherland not only introduced the
bill but gave testimony before the
committees in support of it, urging
its passage so that the outlying set
Elements of Alaska might, in case
of necessity, secure this emergency
service. This Act has never been re-
paled. The authority given the Post
master General by this Act and by
similar provisions embraced in the
several Post Office Appropriation
Bills between 1901 and 1925 has
never to my knowledge been abused.
Shortly after l came to Washing
ton, it became evident that larger
The Wrangell sentinel. (Wrangell, Alaska) 1909-current, 1935-09-13

authority should be given to the
Postmaster General to contract for
the carriage of all classes of mail
by air in Alaska, so that mail could
be carried between the larger set
Elements by airplane and thence in
the winter time distributed along
the trail into the smaller settle
ments by dog team In drafting a
bill for that purpose the Depart
ment advised that to amend the Act
of February 81, 1925, by simply
adding the new language would be
satisfactory. So the bill as l intro
duced in the House read as fol-
lows:
The Postmaster General is au-
thorized to provide difficult or
emergency mail service in Alas
ka, including the establishment
and equipment of relay sta
tions. in such manner as he
may think advisable, without
advertising therefore; and he
is authorized, in his discretion,
to contract after advertisement
in accordance with law, for the
carriage of all classes of mail
within the Territory of Alaska,
by airplane, payment therefore
to be made from the appropria-
ton for star-route service in
Alaska"
The dark-face type is new mat
ter the part above set out which is
not in dark-face type having been
the law continuously since 1901 and
permanently since 1925.
You will observe in the foregoing
that the only new matter sought TO
be enacted in the law provided that
tract for the carriage of all classes
tract fir the carriage of all classes
of mail in air in Alaska latter ad-
Yertisement in accordance with
law" The bill, therefore, did not
seek to give the Postmaster General
any authority for carriage of mail in
Alaska without advertising which
he did not already possess.
The bill passed the House and
went to the Senate When the bill
was considered by the Senate Com
mittee was not notified nor was
any testimony taken. One of the
members of the Committee, not
knowing that the provision of the
bill concerning emergency service
was already the law, objected to
giving the Postmaster General any
authority to furnish emergency
service without advertising, and ac-
eordingly the Committee agreed to
strike the words of the existing law
