ALASKA'S FUTURE.

The geological surveys advance sheets of the annual report on Alas ka, says the Seattle Post-Intelli- gencer, do not paint q glowing pie ture of that region, so marvelously rich in natural resources. Mining Alaska gold and copper is at low ebb, and the immediate future of fers but little encouragement to those who study the situation statis- tically. The value of gold has shrunk to an unheard-of degree and the cost of production has risen enormously. Obviously, this condi- tion must put an end to all gold mining operations except the most favored. When this condition will be altered is beyond prediction. The eager wartime demand for copper brought out a vast amount of that metal and Alaska contributed her share, and did so profitably. But that abnormal demand has ceased, leaving large surplus of copper in the markets of the world, the use of which is curtailed domes- tically by high prices, while its ex- portation is all but prohibited by exchange.
 Alaska, no doubt, is suffering and will continue to suffer by reason of the world conditions which affect all of us, though Alaska, by having all her eggs in one or two baskets, is apparently worse off than her neigh bors. There is a dark side to Alas ka today, but there is also bright side The lesson Alaska is learning will not be without profit Alaska must diversity her activities. 4 country, no more than an individual, can afford to put all the eggs ill one basket, and that is what Alaska has done Too much attention has been paid to, mining in Alaska and not enough to other forms of wealth production.
 There was time when the farm CTS of the Middle West raised noth- ing but wheat; they even drank canned milk because they didn't want the trouble and the waste of wheat land involved in keeping a COW. A wheat failure then meant starvation; bumper crop with its low prices meant bankruptcy. It took these farmers a good many years to learn their lesson, but since they learned it they have prospered amazingly. It has been much the same with Alaska. Too many men have sought gold, which has no value of its own, and too few have searched and toiled for the produc- tion of real wealth. Mining is ar exhausting business The miner takes out and puts nothing back Sooner or later there will be noth. ing to take out.
 With the completion of the Alas. ka railroad and the object lesson of the lean years, we are certain that Alaska will regain her los, ground and that the day is not far distant when the annual statement of the production of wealth in Alaska will deal briefly and only in, cidentally with gold mining.

on the oft-made assertion that there
 is no limit to a democracy Under i the constitution with which Norti, Dakota entered the union, there may have been no legal provision where | by the state could become a busi- ness corporation and engage in gen. eral business in the same manner as Ia private corporation. But the orig z inal constitution was subject to ann endment; it was within the power of the people of the state to make whatever changes in the state con- stitution they saw fit.
 The people of North Dakota availed themselves of the right of amending their constitution and spe- officially asserted their right to build and operate grain elevators, flour mills, and engage in other indus trial enterprises. A friendly suit was brought to test the validity of these amendments and the supreme court of the state has held them valid.
 The supreme court, of course, points out the Juneau Empire, does not pass on the wisdom or folly of these innovations. It merely states that they are legal; that they have been launched by legal methods, and that there is nothing in the law or the constitution to invalidate them The people of the state have simply expressed their will in a constitu- tional manner and there is nothing ito prevent the carrying out of the will of the people. ..> What North Dakota has done, any state in the Union may do; the United States itself can do. There is definite and orderly process for any change of law which the people may think to be desirable. There Is, therefore, no sense and less hon. esty to all this blatant talk about the tyranny of government, about the inability of the majority to put its wishes into effect. North Da- kota is no different from any other state, and North Dakota passes the lie to all the varieties of red radicals who talk about the downtrodden people. We are far from certain that the
 experiences of North Dakota are to
 be happy. The recent bank scandal
 does not indicate that all the North
 Dakota theories /are as economically
 sound as they are legally valid. But
 that is beside the point of our dis.
 cussion, which is, that the people of any state in the United States can
 by the simple method of amending their constitution, bring about any
 change in state government, and in.
 crease to any extent the functions
 of their government. That is fiber. Ity; liberty with law and order, the only liberty that is tolerable.
