THE SAME OLD Ugh

The present controversy over the
opening of the Alaska coal fields is
but a continuation of the Pinchot-
Ballinger fight started at the nation
al irrigation congress two years ago.
The question involved is shall the nat
T of the nation be de-
veloped and used with a view to ben
efitting all the people or shall they
be given into the hands of multi
millionaire trust magnates so those
men may make enormous profits
therefrom and increase their collos-
sal riches.
1t is charged by the anti-conserva-
tlonists that they stand for the open
ing of the coal fields while those on
the other side oppose this develop
ment. The charge is a lie. No one
opposes developing the Alaska
coal fields or other natural
The controversy has to do with own
ership, not with development.
The logical thing to do with refer
ence to Alaska coal would be to al
low the Guggenheims to mine 1t II
they wish but for the government to
retain the ownership of the coal
fields. Those who mine the coal
should be allowed to sell it at such
prices as to afford them a fair prof;
on their equipment investment and
upon the work they do. They are en-
titled to nothing more. The rest be-
longs to the public.
This is the conservationist idea and
were it not for the opposition Of the
Morgans n the Guggeinheims this
country would now have laws provid-
ing for the development Of our re-
sources upon such a basis as this.
The Guggenheims are not satisfied
t. take their share and to give the
public its share Of the national riches.
The monopolists want d cinch on af-
fairs. They want to W or dominate
the Alaska coal fields. They want to
be able to control the situation so
they may do as they please with the
Alaska coal. There is no certainty
that coal would be mined il they con-
troIled it. They would be liable to
hold it in cold storage until the sup
ply became more depleted and they
could make greater profits han are
now possible.
The disorder at Cordova and the
talk Of mining the Boring coal regard
less Of the United States laws is sig
nificant principally through the fact
that the G-uggenheims seem back of
this disorder. II they are, then they
are in dangerous business. They are
playing with fire and they may start
2 c~onflagration they will regret. If
the people learn Of the true situation
they win insist that laws be passed to
protect the public in its rights and
they will have a national administra-
ton hat will enforce the laws:
