EDITORIAL PAGE
ALASKA'S REAL ENEMIES.
The Washington correspondent of
this newspaper points out an insid
ious and dangerous 'orin of opposi
tion to the bill for the building of
government railroads in Alaska, an
oppositiou which disguises itself
behind the pretense of extreme
friendliness to that measure. It is
not, however, to say that all who
support the proposal referred to do
so with sinister purpose, but it Is
likely there is such a purpose be
hind some of the pretended support.
This danger comes in the demand
i that the government control of the
railroad and of everything else in
1 Alaska should go much further than
is proposed in the bill euder consid
eration. The people responsible for
this are insistent on having the bill
amended in these directions. If
they should be successful in this the
actual effect would be to strength
en the opposition to the bill as a
whole, and in alt probability defeat
its final passage.
The frank opposition to the bill
which h;is to be met and dealt with
ill the open comes from those who
are sincerely opposed :o the whole
project of government ownership,
and who look upon the government
construction of a railroad in Alaska
as the first step toward carrying in
to effect the rad'cal proposals for
government ownership of all rail
road systems.
That opposition can be overcome
in part by the showing that the
situation inAlaska is peculiar and
unique, having no relation to that in
other parts of the country; that the
action of the government itself has
driven capital out o£ investments
in transportation line.- which were
once under way, and that it is bui
fair to the people o, Alaska foi
the government itself to furnish
them with transportation facilities
which they would have had, had it
not been for governmental action.
The attempts to add any socialist
ic conditions to the proposed bill, if
successful, will simply result in the
defeat of the bill bv the action of
thos.i who pose as peculiar friends
of Alaska, eager to safeguard its
interests.
Alaska should be saved from such
friends.—Seattle Post Iiitellignercor.
BILL WOULD MAKE NATION
PAY PROSECITION COSTS
The bill introduced in the House 1
of Representatives by Delegate Jus.
Wickersham to cure the defect In
the Alaska revenue la»vs also pro
vides for the payment of costs of
prosecutions under the laws of the
Territory of Alaska by the Federal
governments ust as they aie paid for
prosecutions in the -Territory under
the acts of congress.
The bill, which was referred to
the commitee on Territories, ex
cluding the title and enacting clause
is as follows:
"That those two acU of the Leg
islature of the Territory of Alaska
entitled "Chapter fifty-two (H. B.
No. 6), an act to establish a sys
tem of taxation,create tevenue, and
providing for the collection thereof
for the Territory of Alaska, and for
other purposes," approved by the
Governor of the Territory of Alaska
May first, nineteen hundred and
thirteen, and "Chapter numbered
fifty four (H. B. No. 9S), an act to
impose a ooll tax upon male persons
in the Territory of Alaska and pro
vide me;ins for its collection", ap
proved bv the Governor of Alaska,
May first, nineteen hundred and
thirteen, be and each is hereby
ratified and made vailid from the
date of -ts respective approval by
the Governor of the Territory of Al
aska, and all their provisions shall
be held to be in full lorce and ef
fect from and after the date of the
approvel of this act by the President
"Sec. 2—That nothing in that act
ct Congress entitled 'An Act creat
ing a legislative assambly in the
Territory of Alaska ana conferring
legislative power thereon, and for
other purpcees", approved August
tweut-fourth, nineteen hundred and
twelve, shall be so construd as to
prevent the courts now existing or
that may be hereafter created in
said Territory from enforcing with
in their respective jurisdiotons all
laws passed by the legislature with
in the power conferred upon it, the
same as if such laws were passed
by Congress, nor to prevent the leg
islature passing laws imposing ad
ditional duties, not inconsistent with
the present duties of their respective
offices, upon the Governor, mar
shals, deputy marshals, clerks of
the district courts, and United
States commissioners acting as jus
tices of the peace, judges of probate
courts, r.-corders, and coroners, pro
viding the necessary expneses of
performing such duties, and in the
prosecuting of all crimes denounced
by Territorial laws the costs shall
be paid the same as is now or may
hereafter be provided by act of
Congress providing for .the prosecu
tion of criminal offenses in said
Territory, except that in prosecu
tions growing out of any revenue
law passed by the I^-oislature the
costs shall fce paid aa in civil ac
tions and such prosecutions shall be
j in th« ultra# of the Territory."
