WASHINGTON, Sept. z4.-The'
discussion of the. Alaska coal leasing
bill continues each day in the

method and declares that the order
issued eight years ago withdrawing
all the coal lands should be- set
aside. He believes that the old
method under which the balance of
the country was developed should be
pursued in Alaska. The forestry
bureau he thinks should be broad
ened and not run by visionary con-
servationists. He further declares
that the liberty loving people Of
Alaska should not have a tyranical

the opening up of Alaska but be-
lieves in doing it in the broadcast way
possible
