WOULD DEVELOP ALASKA
COAL LANDS FOR PEOPLE
Commissioner bennett Says Govern
ment Should Prevent Monopoly
BY Big Interests.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-Develop-
ment OF the coal fields, both in
Alaska and the United States, with
due adherence 10 the principles Of
conservation is strongly urged by
Commissioner bennett OF the gen
eral land Office in his annual repor.
10 the secretary OF the interior, made
public today. He wants the coal de
iNered to the bins OF the ultimate
consumer at the cheapest possible
prise. but at the same time wants
legislation which would prevent the
fields falling into the hands OF the
Donopolies.
1t Is imperative" he said, that
new legislation be passed covering
the disposition of coal lands in Alas
ka and in the United States. The
inadequacy OF the present laws is
universally conceded This PROPOSE
ton, therefore, needs no argument.
The progress of advancement in the
west is being retarded under present
conditions by the difficulty in the
successful opening of new mines UNI

would be reasonable to expect he
would have to pay If it were possible
TO open new mines under legislation
which would encourage the develop
ment of this resource.
Legislation, however, which would
not retain in the United States the
right of supervision over the market
ing OF the product, would be a mis-
take" he continues. ITO throw this
resource open SO that the coal de-
posts would ultimately pass into the
hands of the monopolies and trusts
would be to render the conditions
worse than they are at present. Con
gress, therefore. should carefully
guard the enactment of legislation,
and see TO IL that the requisite con-
troll is retained in the United States,

CLEAR SAILING
FOR GOV. OSBORN
Bob Cgg Says the Governor Cant
Insprge Any Too Fast For
the Legislature.
From q star Correspondent


LANSING, Mich, Jan Gov.
Osborn cont insurge an ytoo fast for
the present legislature, said Rep.
Robert u ogg. OF Detroit, when ask.
ed l. there would be any conflict ne
tween the legislative and executive
department over the question OF re-
form.
The principal items in his program,
such as the reduction OF state boards,
were advocated i'll the legislature two
years ago. but they aid not ge.
through, largely because GOV. War.
ner was not in a position 10 cut off
he p!ace-holders. With governor
advocating economy do not think
there will be anv difficulty in carry
ing out the things he wants.
"lJ would have been good thing
for Michigan ii We had had executives
with those motives in the early days"
said Rep. John Stevenson, who sat
with Rep. Ogg i'm the train going to
Lansing. II would have saved scat
terins Michigans public institutions
all over the state jusI TO please To-
calities that needed TO be favored. We
should have had them centralized at
Detroit or Lansing. whichever was the
state capital. and ii would have meant
big economy in the running of the
state government If we are to have
any more state institutions they
should be grouped around some CEN
trail point. This is easily seen in the
case OF state prisons. They are scat
tered over the state, but prisoners
aren't sent to the nearest institution.
Many Detroit prisoners, for instance.
are sent to Marquette.
Defeated Ones at Capital.
Two defeated gubernatorial candi-
dates were smiling around the Downey

the Republican nomination, and Law
ton Il. Hemans, from whom Mr.. Os-
porn took a fall in the election. Both
declared that they were ju2t as happy
as if they had two years OF respon-
sibility ahead.
II have all the law business | can

following article, headed "A
BUSINESS LUBRICANTS"
"When a manufacturer buys
a piece of machinery, with
which to facilitate or cheaper
production, he calls it an IN
VESTMENT.
when he buys advertising
space he usually calls it an EX-
PENDITURE, and groans.
"But the one is as much an
investment as the other.
advertising which does not
facilitate business is not adver-

advertising Of the real kind,
not the misnomer, cheapens the
manufacturers cost of produc-

Because it is a well-founded
law that an ENLARGED DE-

concomitant of the latter is a
relative DECREASE IN THE
