FRIDAY, MAY 13, 1921. THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, OREGON MOV E FORESEEN TO VIRTUALLY GIVE ALL ALASKA AWAY i By Norman llapgood Editorial CoTTMpoodrnt Universal 8crric. .Washington. May 18. Quietly, al most in solitude, the house commit tee on territories, presided over by Representative Charles F. Curry, Thursday began hearings on a gigan tic plan to hand , the resources of Alaska over to a commission respon sible to nobody. Legislation with fat In it under our system usually gets a good utart In that committee with nobodyf present except those with previous knowledge of what Is to be ' divided. . ; ' If this audacious bill, goes through it makes czars out of the commissioner. They a not responsible to any depart- merit of the government. -They are not" reifponsible to congress. They are not responsible even to the president of the United States. Short of actual mal feasance they can sit out their six. year terms- with no" control, giving away natural! 'resources . in one-sixth of the territory of the United States with a freedor Jrom Interference that would have abused jealousy in , William Hohenzollern at his zenith. POVTEU COMPLETE 15 GIFTS ' . Another fascinating feature of audac ity that; really ought to be filmed Is that this completeness of power holds only while the commission gives things away. t It it refuses to give them lip then there ' la provided an appeal. If I were in a more humorous mood, I . could be funny with that for half a column The subject of what to" do with Alaska was brought up in a cabinet meeting nine days ago. Tomorrow a letter from Secretary Wallace of the department of agriculture ought to be received by Chairman Curry. Also it is expected that Secretary Kali will be heard from. Betting on the curb is that Mr. WallaceJ will handle the proposal with roughness and that even Mr. Fall will find it too stiff. , " " , - - . "WAY LEFT FOB AMENDMENT As the bill creating the commission stands j today it turns over absolutely the forests, the unreserved public lands, the water power, the agricultural experi ment stations, the fisheries and the mi trratory birds. But do not worry about -the rest of the resources. This type of bill ' is j always managed adroitly. By leaving! the railroads, the mines and the oil to be slipped in by amendment later, a .familiar political method is adopted. There was one witness Thursday. -He was 13. AJ Sherman, a social forester. Chairman Curry went back at him along one line namely,, that Inder j the present system Alaska was hot developing fast enough. 6 hp r man seemed to- think that cloak a thirt one. He pointed " out that the bill takes away the water power from a national water power .commis sion especially created for such pur poses it takes away all the functions of the ! department of agriculture, the ' department of commerce and the general land office. Mr. Sherman explained to the committee why Alaska is not grow ing faster. The population grew rapidly from 1890 to 1900. It was about sta tionary from 1900 to 1910. It has de creased: since then. The decrease is due to the 'exhaustion of the Nome fields, a happening seen over and again in our western states in the pioneer stages. BATES PttOVE BARRIES t Last spring a committee . was sent by 'judge Payne to Seattle to hold hearings on what was needed to develop Alaska. , The testimony of everybody was that a man cannot afford to take advantage of ' the agricultural possibilities there, which are great, at the present rail and water rates. ' By the time he has trans ported himself, his family and his equip ment he has made a big investment. . 'After he gets there he can get good grain and meat with his own hands for .a large family, but he cannot make any money There ' is no accessible market If Alaska were alongside Dakota- it would be settled up. as , Mr. Sherman - put it. in from three to five years. - - This agricultural section will change ?s the mines, railroads and other indus ries develop. The department of agrl ' culture- is using its experiment stations to eivodd ,for the settler the errors that ruined so many Bold pioneers in bur western' settlements. - .;-:-' . The government's handling of the for ests also is based upon the Intention of having a future settled population In Alaska - i . - . STABLE IKDtTSTBT PROPOSED r ': There Is an estimated stand of 100.000, 000 cords of wood pulp. Instead of. hav ing those trees torn off hastily to give a few Individuals the unearned incre ment, the government means to, turn them Into stable industry. The fisheries are being rapidly de pleted by over exploitation. The game and fur resources would lose their pro tection if the new bill should become a law. : All these national interests are now being looked after by. a Interdepart mental committee formed last fall under the leadership of Secretary Meredith and Secretary Wallace is expetced to con tinue it. : ' . - A contest has also been going on for the. governorship of Alaska. The .most prominent candidates have been James Wickers ham and : K. C, Hazlitt, but the position is likely to go to Scott Bone. ; Holds Court at Moscow ' Boise, Idaho. May 13.-r-Judge Frank S.
