PROBLEM IN ALASKA.

= oTm OF GONernment.
A duty faces us with regard to Alas
ka which seems to me very pressing
and very imperative; perhaps ] should
say double duty, for 1t concerns both
the political and the material develop
ment of the territory. The people of
Alaska should be given the full terri
torial form Of government. and Alas

ways These the government should
itself build AID administer. and the
ports and terminals it should itself

TO use them for HE service and deveI-
opment of the country and its people.
But the construction of railways Ia
only the first step is only thrusting in
the key to the storehOnse and throw
ing back the lock and opening the
door. How the tempting resources of
the country are to be exploited is an
other matter. to which shall take the
liberty of from time to time calling
your attention. for it is a policy which
must be worked out by well cOnsid-
cred stages. not upon theory but upon
lines of practical expediency. 1t Is
part of our general problem of con-
servation. We have freer hand in
working out the problem in Alaska
than in the states Of the Union, and
yet the principle and object are the
same wherever we touch it. We must
use the resources Of the country, not
lock them up.
There need be no conflict or Jealousy

ties. for there can be no essential diff

PRESIDENTS
MESSAGE
I Continued from first page.


tain is legislation which will make
their own abundant and substantial
credit resources available as foun-
dation for joint. concerted. local ac-
ton in their own behalf in getting the
capital they must use. 1t is to this we
should now address ourselves.
It has. siuguINrly enough. come t.
pass that we have allowed the indus
try of our farms to lag behind the
other activities of the country in its
development | need not stop to tell
YOU how fundamental TO the life of the
nation is the production of its food.
Our thoughts may ordinarily be con-
centrated upon the cities and the hives
of industry, upon the cries OF the
crowded market place and the clangor
of the factory, but it is from the quiet
interspaces of the open valleys and the
free hillsideS that we draw the sources
of life and of prosperity from the
farm and the ranch. from the forest
and the mine. Without these every
street would be silent. every office de-
serted, every factory fallen into disre-
pair.
And yet the farmer does not stand
upon the same footing with the foreS-
ter and the miner in the market of
credit. lie is the servant of the sea
sons. Nature determines how long he
must wait for his crops and will not
be hurried in her processes. He may
give his note. but the season of its
maturity depends upon the season
when his crop natures and lies ut the
gates of the market where his prod
ucts are sold And the security he
gives is of character not known in
the brokers' office or as Familiarity as
it might be on the counter OF the
banker
The agricultural department of the
government is seeking to assist as
never before to make farming an eff
cient business, of wide cooperative eff
fort in quick touch with the markets
for foodstuffs. The farmers and the
government will henceforth work to-
gether as real partners in this field.
where we now begin to see our way
very clearly and where many intell-
gent plans are already being put into
execution.
The treasury of the United States
has by timely and we'll considered
distribution of its deposits facilitated
the moving of the crops in the present
season and prevented the scarcity of
available funds too often experienced
at such times. But we must not allow
ourselves to depend upon extraordi-
nary expedients. We must add the
means by which the farmer may make
his credit constantly and easily avail
able and command when he will the
capital by which to support and eX-
pand his business. We lag behind
many other great countries of the mod
ern world in attempting to do this.

a policy can be worked out by confer

URGES CURRENCY REFORM
TO BENEFIT THE FARMER,

President Wilson in his mes
sage urges the immediate pas
sage of currency legislation. He
asserts that business interests of
the nation are waiting on the ex-
pected law before making large
new investments or developing
resources. The president also
calls attention to conditions as
they exist at present, which
make it very difficult for the
farmer to finance his crop. He
urges in his annual message pro-
visions that will safeguard the
farmer, help his credit and pre-
vent a repetition of the neces-
sity for the government to de-
post large sums of money in
the southern and western states
so as to aid the producer. as was
the case last fall.

PRESIDENT MAKES KNOWN
HIS PHILIPPINE POLICY.

President Wilson's policy to-
ward the Philippine Islands IS
made clear in his message. He
urges the development OF the
Philippines, always keeping in
view ultimate independence Of
the islanders. While he does not
believe they are ready for self
government today ne believes
that eventually they will be. He
points out improvement that has
recently been made by calling
attention to the fact that more
natives have been appointed on
the Philippine commission than
was the case previously.
