Comm s Reports

Following is the report of the House Committee on Territories on Bill 5o94, introduced by Dele gate Dimond, for the purpose of securing congressional approval to authorize the Territory of AL aska, to issue bonds not to ex- ceed S2.OOO,0OO.
 Much of the report is repetition of language contained in the bill, and only pertinent excerpts are hereby published, stating the op- inion and consideration of the Committee.
 The report was made by the Committee thru MT. Dimond, Ap- Til 18th, 1888, and soon passed the House.
 Excerpts of the Report The Committee is of the opin- ion the proposed amount of auth orized indebtedness is modest and well within the ability of the Ter ritory to meet when due, and that such authorization may be of definite benefit to the people of the Territory and will enable 1 them at their own expense to undertake, possibly with Federal aid, necessary public works. AL aska is still a frontier country and there is a pressing need o6 roads, air fields. and air-naviga- ton facilities as we'll as other types of public works, for the development of the Territory The committee has in view the recent message from the Presi- dent of the United Sta tes suggest ing a public works program which may be at least in part carried out through loans and

than the principal amount there of plus accrued interest.
 Sec. 4. The bonds herein auth orized to be issued shall be gen. eral obligations of the Territory of Alaska payable as to both principal and interest from tax receipts of the Territory of every character, exclusive, however, of refunds to the Territory of Fed eral taxes collected in the Terri tory, and it shall be the duty of the Territorial Legislature to levy and collect taxes in amount sui ficient to pay the interest and the principal of such bonds as and when the same shall become due and payable.
 Sec. 5. No part of the funds arising from the sale of said bonds shall be used for any pur- pose or purposes other than those SD cified in this Act. Said bonds shall be sold only when and in such amounts as the board shall direct and the proceeds thereof shall be disbursed only for the purposes hereinbefore mentioned and under the orders and direc- ton of the Territorial board of finance from time to time as such proceeds may be required for such purposes.
 Sec. s. The Territory of Alas ka. through the Governor of Al as<a. is hereby authorized to en- ter into a contract or contracts with the United States of Amer ica, or any department, board. agency, or instrumentalty there of. under existing laws, or under any law or laws of the United States which may be hereafte enacted, for the sale of bonds is- sued in accordance with the pro- visions of this Act and to accept a grant or grants of money to aid the Territory in financing any of the aforesaid public works, or to enter into contracts with any oth- CT person or persons, corporation or corporations, public or pivate, for the sale of said bonds. All such contracts may contain such terms and conditions, subject to the provisions hereof, as may be agreed upon by and between the said Territorial board of finance and the United States of Ameri- ca, or any agency or instrument ality thereof, or any other pur- chaser of the bonds.
The Nome nugget., 1938-05-20

Mir. Dimond introduced the fol- lowing bill March 24, 1887, whi- ch was referred 10 the Committee on the Territories and ordered to be printed.
 April 25, 1938-The bill was re- ported on by the Committee with an amendment, referred to the House Calendar, and ordered to be printed.
 Following Is the bill as emend- ed:
 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Con- gress assembled, That the Terri tory of Alaska is hereby author ized to construct, improve, extend better, repair, reconstruct, and ac quire public works of a perman- ent character and facilities for the same, and to incur bonded in- debtedneSs and to issue negoti- able bonds for any or all of such purposes in a total amount not in excess of S2,00O,00O to be out standing at any one time, eXclu- sive of accrued interest. Such public works and facilities shall include: Buildings, structures, and facilities for the University of Alaska; public school buildings and other public school facilities i; public hospitals and other appur- tenant structures and facilities; air fields and air navigation aids and facilities; and highways, roads, trails and bridges.
 Sec. 2 No bonded indebted ness shah be incurred by the Ter ritory of Alaska unless the am- ount thereof be first authorized or
The Nome nugget., 1938-05-20

grants to States, Territories and Municipalities. At the present time by reason of limitations of it's organic act as to indebtedness and by reason of the fact that the next session of the Alaska Territorial Legislature will not convene until January 9, 1889, the Territory of Alaska will not be able to participate during the current year in any Federal pub lie works pogram through loans made to States and Territories by the Public Works Administration or other Federal authority un- less the bill under consideration is enacted. The enactment of the bill may also be helpful in en- abling the Territory to aid in providing work for those of it's citizens who are unemployed and needy.
 "The revenues for the Terri tory of Alaska are provided by a system of indirect taxation, principally as licenses on busi- ness and trade, and by 3-per- cent gross tax on gold and plat mum produced in the Territory. The total Territorial revenues for the calendar yea 1887 amounted to approximately $2,30o,0o0. the greatest ever received by the Territory during any one year. This is explained by the fact that 1887 was the first year the Territorial 3-percent gross tax on gold and platinum was in force. That the commerce of Alaska is substantial is indicated by the re. port of the Collector of Customs for Alaska for the calendar year 1897. showing outbound coEn- merce from Alaska to the Unit ed States in the sum of $80, ,967,- l83 and inbound commerce to Alaska from the United States of $43, ,083. .998, making a total con- merce of more than SPA, ,0O0, 900"
 The Board of Finance
 Referring to the Board of Fin ance, the Committee reported:
 Tt appears that four of the members of the Territorial board of finance created by the bill are elected directly by the people of Alaska and two other members, though nominated for their re- spective positions by the Cover nor, must be confirmed by the Legislature, and that only the Governor and the secretary of Alaska are Presidential appoint ees. More than a majority of the members of the board are there fore directly responsible to the people of Alaska"
 Recommend Passage
 "Ordinarily it would be well to require expressed formal ap- proval by the legislature of any proposed bond issue, but in the present instance prompt action is required and it seems not to be practicable to call the legislature Into special session; and so the committee has deemed it proper to recommend passage of the bill in its present form"

CALIFORNIA;
CAPITAL May
GET new site
Move on Foot; Was Shift
ed S Times in 6 Years
Under u. S. Rule

SACRAMENTO, Cal. April 20.
(UP)-Renewed effort to move
the capital of California recalls
the turbulence Of previous trans
fers of the seat of government,
when the state, under United
States rule after being governed
by six other nations, moved It's
capital five times in six years.
A campaign has been begun on
behalf of transfer Of the capital
to the Monterey peninsula, where
a site for state buildings has been
donated.
Proponents Of the move are
pointing out Monterey's central
location, ideal climate and the fact
that thousands of tourists are at
nacted to the peninsula yearly by
it's historical background and re-
sorts.
They also maintain Monterey IS
the "sentimcntal" capital OF Call
fornia, as it was the seat of gov
eminent from 1871 to lO49. IN
l849 the first state constitutional
convention met III Monterey ana
decided on San Jose as the capital:
FOES POINT TO INVESTMENT
Opponents Of the capital trans
fer from Sacramento, and they
number most citizens not living on
the Monterey peninsula, point out
other than sentimental reasons.
No. | argument is the fact that
the state has approximately $5O,-
100000 invested in property mere.
They also argue that despite
prcccdentS in California history,
moving the capital is no longer a
simple matter. In the days OF the
last transfer, in 1854, 1t wasn,t
much more complicated than load
ing few wagons with documents
seals and records and yelling gid
dap
The state government travelled
light in those days. When the seat
Of government was transferred
from San Jose, where the first ses-
sion of the legislature convened,
to Vallejo, the legislators and
their camp-fOllowerS were forced
to live aboard an old ship an
chored off Vallejo.

To land-grabbing Mexico, Secre-
tary of State Cordell Hull has sent
two notes protesting seizure of $l0,-
000, 900 in American-owned farm
land, $500, 100000 in American
owned oil land. Latest of these pro-
tests was a downright lecture to
Mexican President Lazaro Carde-
mas, who would lose national pres
tige by back-tracking, who will lose
conservative support if he fails to
back-track. Though Mexico guard
edly admits liability, she refuses to
pay, indeed is unable to pay until
her grievous economic condition
improves. Last week, is observers
wondered whether U. S. Ambassador
Josephus Daniels had been negh-
gent in allowing an altogether too
complex situation to arise, Cordell
Hull heard that $25, 100000 more
American-owned property had been
seized. Included, said unofficial re-
ports, were 10000 acres of Publisher
William Randolph Hearst's ranch.
Q At Washington, Franklin Roose-
welt announced the U. S. would glad

tons would reduce theirs. Next day

AS leader of Czechoslovakia' au-

Henlein is admittedly nothing more
than Adolf Hitler's mouthpiece. So
anxious observers looked behind the
mouthpiece last week when Konrad
Henlein told Sudetens to fight

Czech government. Thus arose the
latest crisis in series of crises that
has kept Europe jittery all summer.
