DRASTIC REDUCTIONS r
JUNEAU.—Urging drastic reduc- j ]
eioris in every essential appropriation <
and- cumpltee elimination of all non- i (
essentials. Governor George A. Parks; ,
in his biennium message to he Alaska (
Legislature declared the Territory is ]
just entering the most critical period | j
fn its history. He said, “Because of ]
unusual and unforeseen developments
in the. last few days, in all probability ;
the rapidly changing couomic situa- ,
tion will have far-reaching • effects ]
aptxi our industries and revenues. No ,
one-can anticipate what may be done j
within the next 60 days.” j
The Governor recommended com- j
plete. suspnsion of eagle, wolf, coyote
and. hair-seal bounties, all subsidies1
and other grants of. Territorial larges, j i
including trout propagation, aid to r
county, fairs*, seduction of road appro- (
priation to $.100,0)00 in order to pro- (
vide funds for schools, pensions, un- |
employment relief, destitution and ‘
other social welfare activities. | j
He alsa declared it is practically 1
impossible to construct a new pio- t
neers.’ home as had been planned. He r
urged consolidation of relief and wel- c
fare work undr the sole authority of
the governor,, thus replacing the ex- 1
isting dual system which has proved t
expensive. He favored a change in i
the educational system to prmit crea- <
tion. of incorporated school districts j
with power of making limited, school t
tax levies. He advocated- a reduction 1
of teachers' salaries from. K1-3 to 10 ]
per.cent and also reductions, in re- ;
funds. He favored that the -conunis- i
sioner of education should be ap- :
dinted by the Board of Education in- i
tead of being elected by the people.'
He declared that Territorial unem-'
ioyment relief is dangerously near I
he dole system and favored giving1
he governor authority to cooperate j
dth municipalities in this work. . I
