OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS e e e ALASKA COMING INTO ITS OWN Congress is going to give a thought to Alaska, which has too long been the Cinderella of the United States. ‘Acquired 5 3years ago for a paltry price, Alaska has experienced a career either of too much government or no government at all. For 17 years after its purchase by the United States it was without | % any civil governmenf. It was 39 years before it was permitted to have a delegate in congress and 45 years before it was per-| mitted to have a territorial government. Equal in area to one-| fifth the size of continental United States, its natural resources | are the most valuable of any section of the United States. . it Despite this, Alaska has either-been exploited by private individuals or has had its development arrested by a system of strangling red-tape. At the present, it is said that there are 30 odd federal government agencies which have to do, in some way or another, with governing Alaska. The result is hopeless con-| fasion, interminable delay, conflict and overlapping of author- | ity and division of responsibility, all of which have operated, on | the whole, to defeat the development of that territory. | Senator New of Indiana, chairman of the Senate Commit-| tee on Territories, has introduced a bill which, it is understood, | has the endorsement of the administration, that will go a long/| way toward correcting these governmental evils. It wily | up after the congressional recess. Briefly, the bill provides for a transfer of the duties, powres and functions, relating’ to Alas: ka, now vested in the Department of Agriculture, the Depart. ment of Commerce, the Federal Power Commission, the De-| partment of Treasury and the Department of War, to the juris-| diction and control of the Department of the Interior, which al- ready has considerable po®er and authority pertaining to the government of Alaska. The powers transferred from the War and Treasury departments, by Senator New’s bill, are purely ad- ministrative, dealing with construction and maintenance of roads in Alaska. The purpose of the bill is to consolidate and | centralize the authority for government in Alaska in one depart- ment and under-one head, thus: eliminating-duplication -of ex~, pense and effort, as well as fixing responsibility for affairs in ‘Alaska. . P SHIPPERS’ CONFERENCE ippi iev. ig.con-|Image and the Reflection,” (2 Cor. Those who have shipping problems or grievances if.con ( e el Tanenage, and § nection with their business should make a note of the things with which they are dissatisfied' and have them ready to dis-|a, m. and C cuss September 16, when N. J. Holmberg, commissioner of agri-{p. m. ' 5 culture, will hold a conference with shippers and business men | to discuss the shipping and loading of perishable freight, pota- toes, and other produce shipped. out, or in, of Bemidji and neighboring stations. 5 In years past this has been a source of continuous. grief to| many shippers. Some years it has been impossible to- obtain cars, troubles at terminals has also cost shippers much loss at/, different times. These matters will undoubtedly be threshed out if presented at the coming conference. -0- WOMEN FARMERS l7: In line with the influx of women into men’s work in the cities, it is interesting to note that women in far larger numbers are taking up farming, Census bureau reports show that 261,- 553 women today are operating farms, totaling 25,798,400 acres, and averaging 98.6 acres to the farm. Percentage of farms operated by women in the States var- ied from 1.9 per cent of the whole in Nebraska to 7.2 per-cent in Rhode Island. : 0 Mr. Lloyd George will come to Washington fully fortified || for the fray. He will have with ‘him the Anglo-Japanese alli-| ance, the recent vote of the British parliament to build four| more super-battle cruisers, and the traditional policy of Great| Britain to maintain a navy inferior to no other, It has been | the British record to emerge from international conferences stronger than when she entered, and it,is more than likely she hopes for a similar happy outcome at Washington. | 0- | It will be a near-miracle if the present congress is able to| reduce taxation by $800,000,000 for the year 1921-2, as now; indicated. If accomplished, the Republican administration will deserve all the commendation that can be given. The Repub- lican party in its 1920 platform, made it clear that no immedi- ate reduction of taxes could be expected. If, now, the party does far more than it promiged to do, it will more than earn the| confidence reposed. in it by the people. Y, LS~ Now that Beltrami avenue is blocked: for traffic:beyond Fifteenth street, Doud avenue is the only xal road north out of the city. Isn’t it about time Bemidji avenue was getting a little| attentionu p beydnd Twelfth or Thirteenth street? Some people| might want tot#avel out that way. .~ ., . ! o : g i [ ~‘Although only in operation about foux weeks, the private banking fund of $50,000,000, arranged by the government for| financing the-cattle industry, has completed loans aggregating| $20,000,000. i ‘And now a million Polish children are looking to the Unit: ed States for food, Poland having been on the rampage ever since “peace” was declared in Europe. | 0 | Still the weeds are growing. What a nice crop there is on the south side of Seventhstreet just off Beltrami. Thgy’re such| a nice decoration to the city.
