NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Fourth Avenue Bldg., Seattle, Wash, —_— LYNG ON ICKES Howard Lyng of Nome, Democratic National Com- mitteeman for Alaska, takes a few mighty blasts at Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes and others of the Roosevelt cabinet in a recent article in the Nome Nugget. . Exception is taken to the Secretary’s opposition to the proposed Alaska statehood bill in committee hearing. Other members of the cabinet did go on record as not opposing the bill if passage were delayed until after the war. Ickes said the bill would turn over to one State tremendous natural resources ac- quired by the United States and held as a national asset for the entire people. Among other things, Mr. Lyng said about Ickes: “Mr. Ickes has long regarded Alaska as his special oyster, and long ago staked out his claim to sovereignty over it. ... “He has constantly and aggressively reached for more power, not only here but nationwide, brooking other of Mr. Ickes’ himself infallibility, | to God.” | And etc. Mr. Lyng argues that most of the land in the an attribute that bought outright from a foreign country. Therefore, why should Alaska’s fate be different? And, of ‘course, he is right. However, Mr. Lyng should also realize that this is a day of dogmatic government and totalitarian rule by centralized bureaticrats, and has been for the past 12 years. Many of the old and established principles of American government have Been outdated. The wishes of those in the driver's seat are what count— not whether the desires are based on sound argument, The present administration has shown no desire to extend its aid toward improving Alaska's present colonial form of government. It shouts like a liberal and acts like a lord. (Ketchikan Chronicle) The matter of levying a gasoline tax in Alaska probably will come up before the Legislature again, as it has already been discussed by civic groups here and elséwhere in Alaska. The most important fact to be determined, of course, is haw much gasoline is used and how much ) revenue could be raised by taxing it fairly. Committeemen of the last Legislature apparently were of the opinion that the amount of gasoline sold to automobiles (boats would be exempt, it is assumed) would not be sufficient to pay the cost of collection. But Alaska's highway system is growing. grow more after the war. The virtue of the gasoline tax, originated in Oregon in 1919, is that the people who use the public highways pay for their construction and upkeep. Some States divert gas tax funds for other purposes, but such diversion meets considerable opposition. Another problem met in the States is this: dr ivers consume half their gasoline within the cities, and the gas tax money in most States is used within city | limits only for construction and maintenance of arterial highwa; In Alaska, the percentage of driv- ing within cities is probably greater than in the States. *tax, Washington Merry- ing a joint press Secretary of the GO-ROIII“' vo[ the Tojo Cabinet.
