OLDFIELD AND THE
ALASKAN RAILROAD
The Batesville Guard severely |
criticises Congressman Oldfield
for his vote in favor of the ap
propriation to build a govern- j
ment railroad in Alaska.
Of course everybody knows
the real basis for the Guard’s
criticism is the vote Mr.
Oldfield cast last fall in deciding
the contest for postmaster at
Batesville,and is not the Alaskan
railroad proposition at all.
Since Oldfield cast his vote
against the editor of the Guard
for postmaster at Batesville, it
has become impossible for him,
in the Guard's estimation, to
cast a vote right on any subject
and that paper has lost no op
portunity to criticise him, abuse
him and sling mud at him.
Fact of the matter is, the
Guard does not care a rap
whether there is one mile or a
minion miles of railroads in Alas
ka, nor how or by whom they
are built. But it thinks it sees
an opportunity to rap on Oldfield
and possibly prejudice someone
against him, hence this great
discharge of hot air.
In this, as in every vote he
has cast since the Democrats
came into power, Oldfield voted
with the admisitration. In his
message to congress last Decem
ber, President Wilson strongly
urged the building of the Alask
an railroad. Secretary Lane of
the Interior Department, Mr.
Bryan and the entire Cabinet
thought it the proper thing to
do.
We suppose congress thought
it would be all right with the
Guard to go ahead with the ap
propriation, as that was away last
December--three months ago—
and the Guard had made no
protest.
President Wilson recommend
ed the appropriation last Decem
ber, the senate passed it s<, ne
time ago, and still the Guard
said nothing-.
If Mr. Oldfield is subject to
criticism for his vote on the bill,
the entire Democratic adminis
tration shonld come in for a part
of the blame, as practically
every Wilson Democrat and all
the party leaders voted for it,
and the bill was passed by the
overwhelming majority of 231
ayes to 87 noes.
The administration takes the
position, which seems to us a
very logical one, that the govern
ment must build andcontrol trans
portation facilities in Alaska, so
that the people can get the bene
fits of the vast storehouse of
gold, silver, copper, coal* and
other products, or permit the
special interests to go there and
build the roads and secure con
trol of the great wealth of that
country. President Wilson takes
the position that the government
ought to develop this territory
itself since it owns 98 per cent
of all the land in Alaska, rather
than see this territory gobbled
up by the special interests and
trusts.
o lain* ties siiuvv inai binuu ims
government has owned Alaska
there has been produced in that
country $240,916,520 worth of
gold, about $2,000,000 worth of
silver, and about $10,000,000
worth of copper, besides enor
mous quantities of other valuable
minerals.
In addition to this, the fur and
fishery products of that territory
have amounted to approximately
$240,000,000.
There is at present less than
500 miles of railroad in Alaska.
The government owns 98 per cent
of all the lands, including the
timber lands, gold mines, silver
mines, and coal mines. Why
shouldn’t the government build
some railroads, provide transpor
tation facilities, and thus unlock
the door to the enormous wealth
that the government owns there,
and thereby assist the people to
get the benefits of it?
