nounces that he will show the film in hi

Panama Points Way.

LAS to the agricultural development of
the territory this should be made as far
as possible consistent with the govern

resources. subject to homestead entry
under the general land laws.
''Mr. President. the problem then re-
naming is how to administer this great
estate. The example Of Panama points
the way. Congress. of course. can not
deal with this subject in all of it's details
nor assume the management OF the de-
velopment OF our resources In Alaska.
The same reasons which prevent Con-
gress from undertaking supervision apply
practically with equal force to the Presi-
dent. the Interior Department and the
interstate commerce commission.
THE sensible and practical thing to
do is tn create a board of public works
for Alsaka. 10 be appointed by the Presi-
dent and confirmed by the Senate. similar r
to the isthmian canal commission This
board of public works should then under
take not merely to build a railroad from
Controller bay to the coal fields, but il
should now acquire all of the railroads in
Alaska and settle at once the policy OF
governmental ownership. 1t should
similarly provide for the development OF
other public utilities. such as the ele-
graph and telephone. It should operate
and develop the wharves and docks and
steamship lines. If necessary. to deliver

extent. immediate returns, must make
exorbtant and oppressive charges. The
people of the United States do not de-
mand an immediate return. They can
themselves supply all necessary money
at an interest charge of less than 3 per
cent. Rates for transportation and for
other public utilities may properly be
low, with the capital cost as, small as
the investment would be to the people.
Most important Of all is control of the
transportation facilities by the govern
