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.
