directory, and he frowned on seeing
il in use. Then he began to pace the
floor impatiently.

tered. They also wanted the direc-
tory, but Mrs. Newed still continued
to turn the leaves.
Finally business man entered. He
looked at Mrs. Newed and at the line

est need of Alaska is development,
But the need is for development in
hehalf of the public-not for the bene-
fit of the Guggenheims.
We have found from experience
that when the natural resources are
turned over to tyndicates for de-
velopment we do not always get the
best results, The syndicates are dis
posed to hold coal and other resour-
ces in cold storage" They mine the
coal very slowly so as to keep prices
up. They get millions of dollars that
should remain with the people. 1t is
only natural for corporations to do
this if they get the chance.
President Tafts plea about the de-
velopment of Alaska is at least ten
years behind the times. People
viewed matters from his standpoint
a decade ago. They don't any longer.
If corporations are to be given the
task of developing the resources OF
Alaska then they should do the work
under governmental control so as to
insure justice to the consuming pub
lie.
But it is not necessary for corpor-
ations to do the work at all, The
government may do it direct just as
it conducts the reclamation service
Throughout the northwest a move is
already underway calling for the Gre
alton of government commission tC
mine the Alaska coal Whether the
plan proposed is entirely feasible may
be questioned. But the general ide5
is right beyond any question.
There is no sense in developing Al
iaska for the benefit of multimillion
aires like the Guggenheims. Let tn
eople get the benefit of these re
sources

there will be different conditions for
renewal of concessions, less discour-
aging of the monopolistic principle
and greater incentive to native cap
italists to get into the game of devel-
oping the nations resources.
The governor stresses, however,
that foreign capital will be welcom-
ed, but that it must bid for conces-
sions upon even terms with domestic
capital, and be prepared to abide rig
idly by the laws which may hereafter
be enacted under the new admins
tration.
An alteration oe this nature in the
policy of the country was inevitable.
While n great many American capit-
alists have dealt fairly with Mexico
and the MeXicans, others have gone
into the country with the sole pur-
pose of exploiting the nations assets,
paying as little toll as was commen-
surate with the privilege of doing
business.
Such a condition could not, of
course. continue under a revised form
of government, the first principle OF
which professed to be popular rule,
The country has yet inconceivably
rich natural resources, the develop
ment of which will increase the ma
tional wealth and the international
prestige. If an abandonment of the
old regime means anything at all, ii
means that the Diaz policy of grant
ing concessions broadcast would be
amended, and the resources of the
country developed in such a manner
as would give the many and not the
few opportunities not so much for
wealth but for decent livelihood.
Incidentally, the newly promulgat-
ed policy, assuming, of course. that
it is authoritative. indicates the evolv-
| ing of a national civic conscience
which is the first and best asset of any
lf-governing people.
