LANE ON NEED
 OF SIMPLICITY
 IN GOVERNMENT

WASHINGTON Dec. IS. In his forthcoming annual report Secretary Lane saye that the government should continue it's sympathetic cooperation in the development of Alaska. He urges that the confusion in adminis- trative actions in Alaskan affairs should be abolished. 'It would be too hazardous @ thing to surrender these resources Co local control or dis- posal, for those who have lived in any new country know how easy it is to grant away water front and power sites. forests and other exceptional resources to those who arc offering large sums for quick improvement. Yet this should not drive us Into policy that makes slow administration a necessity.
 "The confusion in administration ac- ton in Alaska Is well known. l have tried to give it currency that 1t might hasten the establishment of some method of coordinated control of Alaskan affairs, primarily in the hands of a resident commission but always in touch with and responsive to the wish of Congress and the Pres ident through one of the departments. That land has a mysterious charm, pull which affects all who see it and those. too, who know only indi- rectly in It's largeness, it's grandeurs, and It's economic possibilities. This could not be better illustrated than by the number of applications for places which were received by the Alaskan Engineering Commission. When that body left for Alaska in the spring the number was SS,000, and most of those who applied were not out of work but already held posi- tions with railroads. in banks, on farms. or in city offices or some city shop. They wished a taste of the life of this new land. There are many more with the same desire, some of who will make Alaska richer by their presence and find happiness in search ling out the land"
 Wants New Mining Laws.
 The secretary also refers to the ne fcessity for g new set of mining laws. ."The old code" he says. "is 80 elabor- ate and complicated that the best of brains can not tell what the law is. The truth seems to be that between mining engineers and mining lawyers the rules of the game have been re- fined into obscurity; and if Congress were to say to the President that he might select thiee men familiar with mining laws and miners difficulties to suggest @ new mining code to Con. gross. it would, believe, be giving
