to turn round and protest against

that the state had no constitutional

Coal Lands.


The same principle applies with pc.
culiar force to the coal lands, and cs.
pecially to the coal lands In Alaska,
whose protection and ownership by
the federal government are so neces-
sary both for full and free industrial
development in the west and for the
needs of our fleet in the Pacific.
The coal mines should be leased, not
sold, and those who, mine the coal
should pay back part of the profit to
the people. 1t is the right and duty
of the people to demand the most Wig
liant trusteeship on that part of that
branch of the federal government in
charge of the fuel resources of the
United States.
