DOUGLAS -NEWS FOURTH OF JULY MEETING Meeting of Douglas residents to arrange for the annual Fourth of July Celebration is scheduled for this evening, according to arrange- ments made by the City Council at 1egular session on Monday night. The usual procedure of forming an association to handle the cele- bration and then turning the meet- ing over to the new body will doubtless prevail.

A000| THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE-JUNEAU ALASKA ITY NINE WILL MEET ~ WEBFOOTS A City League baseball game is scheduled for this evening at 6:30 |o'clock in the Firemen's Field—the {City coming up against the Web- feet. { The addition of Bystrek and | Mondoker from the Beavers who are filling in whenever they get a ichance to play greatly improved the {City as a ball club in played Tuesday, and tonight’s con- ‘l(‘.\l should be better than average. | — e Memb;rs of Congress { Do Most of Their Job Outside of Chambefs (Continued from Page one) ( {for four days. “And why do the House and Sen- ate practically never meet noon? Are thi that they can't get to work before midday?” | Those questions have been asked The answer is simply that| | often. |what goes on on the floor of Con- |gress is only a small fraction of a |member’s work. This out-in-the- jopen work of Congress is strictly window-dressing. It's “for the rec- ord.” Congress operates on a commit- |tee system. Almost every member of Congress is a member of from one to nine committees and the committees do the work. Ordinarily {they meet at 10 AM. or Iwhich just gives the committee |members time to clear their volu- minous mail, get through a few |sessions with visiting constituents, prepare speeches, and attend a luncheon. And the committees don't (have the pleasure of any two-and- (a-half hour sessions when they are working on a bill, or conducting an investigation. | For example, the House Ways and Means committee struggled for |weeks over the Ruml plan and var- |ious other measures to get the pub- |lic on pay-as-you-go income tax |payments, Finally it gave up, re- ported out a strictly party-line bill (the Democrats, of course, are in ‘*lhn majority on all committees) (and passed the buck on to Congress. There was a lot of argument on |the floor but none that hadn't | been heard beicre in committee ses- |sions. The members were just get- |ting “on the record.” Then came the vote. It went back to the com- mittee; passed again to the floor. It was weeks before Senator George's “T5-per = cent-above-$50" forgiveness compromise was report- ed out of the joint committee. And it’s fate was finally determined be- fore it ever hit the window-dressing department. The committee system in Con- gress has nothing to do with the Constitution. According to Sen. |Robert R. Reynolds of North Caro- lina, chairman of the Military Af- fairs committee the system wasn't really established until President Madison’s second term — the 14th Congress. Until 1816, the chambers of Con- |gress had merely settled on “select” or special committees to handle ‘every proposal that came before them. In that year 11 permanent or standing Senate committees were |established. Ten are still in exist- ence. The Committee on the Militia has since been absorbed by Military Affairs. A volume could be written about how the committees have shaped the destinies of this nation—but a footnote on the Senate Military Af- fairs group may give you some idea. Among its early chairmen were such now famous men in history as Andrew Jackson, William Henry Harrison, Thomas H. Benton, Jef- ferson Davis, John A, Logan and Henry A. DuPont,. Museum Receives (opy Of Hisloric Telegraph Trail Epic Here Today (Continued from Page Oné). safekeeping for all the people of Alaska, is an appropriate trustee for such a document. This Museum was established by act of Con- gress in 1900. It contains samples of Eskimo stone work that are more than seven centuries old. Here are kept the blankets, pelts, bead- ed skins and totem poles which reveal the handicraft and culture of Alaska’s original inhabitants, the Indians. Under Dr. Keithahn and his associates the Museum has been enlarged and enriched as a r_epository of the symbols and skill of the people of Alaska. Colonel Bulkley’s Journal will find a wel- come niche in this institution, I am sure. Its possession, t0o, by the Governor of Alaska will also be a token of the resolute place which the feat of the Telegraph Trail occupies in Alaskan history.” Keithahn’s Response In accepting the historic record, Keithahn said: “It is eminently fitting that this historic document of a daring en- g .nwl‘Dflle should be presented by the game! before | y all such late risers| 2 PM.,| officers of the Northwest Service Command. There 1is a distinct parallel between the accomplish- ments of this Command and those attempted by the Western Union Telegraph Company a task which they placed squarely on the shoulde of Colonel Bulkley as the building of the Alaska High- way Wwas given to the able direc- tion of General James O'Connor. “At time of Bulkley's expe- dition, nearly eighty years ago, Al- aska was still a Russian possession, | its real worth unknown even to the Russians. Colonel Bulkley, as En-| gineer-in-Chief of this expedition surrounded himself with such ablc‘] men, as Kennicott, Dall, Bush, | Whymper and Elliott, all of whom published such excellent reports| that Alaska's potential worth first| became known to the American} public. 1t was largely through the work of these men that sentiment| was created which resulted in the Purchase of Alaska “Bulkley's Expedition did not accomplish what it set out to do, for the successful laying of the |Atlantic Cable made the overland telegraph no longer necessary. But it ‘did accomplish a much greater end—that of paving the way for the _establishment of American sovereignty over that outpost which means so much to our national | safety today. “General O'Connor, who in his feat of building the Alaska Mili-| |tary Highway in such record time, has earned the plaudits of the world, is, in a sense, stepping into and filling Colonel Bulkley's well- wotn shoes. As a result of his} highway system now expanding,, new resources will become known jand utilized and Alaska will enjoy |a_re-birth such as Alaskans have never seen in their wildest dreams. |And where Colonel Bulkley's expe- dition_had as its chief result, the |Purchase of Alaska, General O'- | Connor’s mission will no doubt carry it on to statehood. “In_ accepting this journal for the Alaska Historical Library, .I wish to express my personal thanks as well as the thanks of the Library and Museum staff and the Board lof Directors, We shall place it |along with the books and papers of Colonel Bulkley's associates and contemporaries so that Alaskans for all time may read in their own Ar- chives of the great achievements of Alaska’s founding fathers.” | ¢ The Governor also made a brief response, saying in part: “Colonel Bush, on behalf of the Territory of Alaska permit me to express my profound appreciation for the gift of the Bulkley Tele- graph Trail Journal to the Alaska Territorial Museum. Please convey to thé Commander of the North- west “Service Command, Brigadier General James A. O'Connor, whom you $0ably represent, the Terri- tory’s ' gratitude for this valuable document. “It ‘is highly fitting that the Northwest Service Command, which is mmking history throughout the Northwest should be the agency to bring to light and make available for future historians the no less stirring record of an earlier govern- | mental -attempt to blaze a north- western trail.
