GOVERNMENT MAKES LARGE
PROFIT ON ALASKA
Contributions to Federal Treasury From the
District Exceed Expenditures BY
Quarter Million of Dollars

Walter E. Clarke, Washington cores

sends his paper the following
Al least one ofhcial Of the government,
occupying a prominent position In Wash
ing,on, has lately acquired something Ike
an adequate notion Of the great resources
Of Allski and Of their value to the nation
and to the people. The chief Of the
treasury bureau Of statistics has published
about 100 quarto pages On the subject Of
Alaska, and this information will be some
what widely circulated as a government
publication. A few months ago, a similar
collection Of data was published 10 regard
TO the Philippine Islands. No official COM
pirIson IS made, but taking the two pub
lleltIons side by size, comparison Is easy
and Il Is Interesting.
The Philippines have an area Of II4'7oS
square miles and the purchase price was
$40, 100000. Alaska has an area Of Soo,-
500 square miles, and the OurehAss price
was $4,000. Without making an sx-
haustIve STUDY Of The statistics II Is ap-
parent that the government mas spent more
money Tor the Philippines 10 four years
thin Il has Tor Alaska In all Of the IS
years that have passed since the aequl-
sltlon Of the territory. Up to this time
the Philippines have cost many times as
much as has been derived from them, no,
even reckoning the tremendous expense Of
the war. Alssl<s. on the other hand, has
been, almost from the first, sslf.supportinG

to show how little attention has been paid,
