coal lands he declares that their de-

Minnesota leases it's ore lands and

In this connection. it may be noted

from a distance of more than 1000

The Development Of Alaska.

Secretary Lane of the Department
Of the Interior would have Alaska de.
veloped by a board of directors, to
which he would turn over all the
national assets in Alaska to be used
primarily for the benefit and develop
ment of the territory, but would have
no power over the internal affairs Of
the organized territory.
of this plan is the need of co-ordina-
ton of the Government enterprises in
Alaska. Secretary Lane points out
that the control of lands is in one
Federal department, of forests IN
another, of roads in third, of fisher
les in a fourth and of railroads in still
another. The natural result is a
multiplication of officials in authority,
with conflicts on all big issues and
Inevitable delay in carrying out any
construction plan of development.
The Secretary declares that it is i'm
possible to administer Alaska's land
and other laws intelligently at Wash
ington, more than 5000 miles from
Alaska.
Through this board of directors,
Secretary Lane would develop Alaska
out of her own resources and her
own revenues. He would give to her
her own federal budget. And out Of
the funds raised from her own lands
and her fisheries, her furs, her for
ests and her mines he would construct
her roads. railroads. telegraph and
telephone lines. He would make up
the board of directors SO that each Of
them would be the administrative and
residentiary head of department
Reports would be made to Washing
ton.
Secretary Lane says that action
must be taken at once on the con.
struction of Alaska's railroads and the
opening of her coal fields. He renews
his recommendation that the Govern

Too Much Government.

Always refreshing in his remarks,
Tom Vance Of Olympia certainly hit
the nail ON the head the other night
ut the democratic love fest when he
described the present tendency OF
government to undertake many
things that ought to be looked after
by the people in their individual
capacity. There in a notion abroad
that the state can do everything
better than can individuals. 1t has
even gone SO far that there is grow
ing practice of taking children from
their parents because certain officials
or organizations think moral condi-
tions in the home are not just right.
Again we can see the tendency in the
supplying Of hot lunches to school
children. The assumption seems to
be that pupils are much better off if
they have hot lunch, so the people
turn to government to provide the
lunches.
Inspectors of this and inspectors
of that have been created and once
an Office is created everybody knows
how difficult it is to abolish it. It's
easier to create four or five offices
than it is to abolish one. Establish
an Office and you may depend upon
the incumbent to cultivate public
sentiment in favor of maintaining it
and extending its functions. A start
is made on a reasonable salary. The
argument is presented that it is to
cost little in comparison with the
great good that may be done. Some.
body is appointed to administer the
office, and after he has been in q
while he concludes that the salary is
not big enough. He explains how
much more he could accomplish for
the public If he we're better renumer.
ated. II he we're given deputies and
an automobile and various equip.
ment.
Government functions increase and
30 do payrolls. The latter in an in
evitable consequence of the former.
The thing has come to such pass
that bakers. butchers and other mer-
chants are answerable to inspectors
rather than to their customers.
We are likely to become a race of
weaklings, incompetent to look after
our own interests and depend upon
the government to protect us. After
a while we may become so incompe.
tent that we can't furnish the money
necessary to furnish a livelihood to
all these government officials that
are undertaking to look out for us.
