THE RECOMMENDATIONS.
The recommendation follows

The recommendation follows: 800
Your committee believes it would
be the height of unwisdom to permit
these great coal fields to be monop.
olized or gathered into the priv1ts
ownership Of few for speculative
purposes. As they increase in value
the increment should inure to the
benefit Of all the people. To brin ?
about this result and at the same time
put an end to the unreasonable cen
dit.on now existing, your COMMITTED
recomm ends that the government re-
fuse to sell the lands. but that retain
ing their ownership. it should gran;
leases at fair royalties for periods
limited long enough and covering
areas large enough to jus tify the
necessary investments upon sound
business principles and thus secure
the opening and operation of sufacien
mines to meet the necessities Of Alas
kan consumption; afford relief from
the present outrageous prices paid by
consumers and at the same time al
ford some revenue to the government
We recommend legislation to tina
end and that. r.en1ing such legislation
the existing withdrawal from entry Of
the Alaska coal lands be made"
As to the conduct Of Mr.. CLAWS dur
ing the long period during which The
Alaskan coal claims were under hi:
control as special agent; CT the land Of

In this connection, the committee
says:

in not having the examination made

made by James r. Garfield when sec

says this action was taken by him at
