Alaska Reforms Opposed.
(Ketchikan Chronicle. ]


 Dlspatches say that Congressman Curry, chairman Of the House Committee on Territories in replying to Secretary of Agriculture Wallace, regarding the latters criticism of the formers Alaska Development Board bill, said that plan conceivable would with the approval of the ffty-seven varieties of bureaus that all have finger in the management of the affairs of the Territory. That the Congressman is correct even MT Wallace, with but two months perence in the national capital see undoubtedly These Government department heads and bureau chiefs have appeared in numbers oppose the Curry bill on the ground that it would from Alaska the technical knowledge and experience" of the bureaus In this they undoubtedly correct, but people in Alaska who have lived in the Territory from ten to twenty years and who have seen the country held back by these same men do not look with dread the parting of the ways the elimina- ton of this aid"
 The strongest argument against this technical knowledge and experience" is that it has got Alaska nowhere. For the past years we have had that technical aid and experience only the popula- ton dWlnde and the industries close down. one after another That is the very thing that Congressman Curry is trying to get away from, that experienca of the bureau in Washington with chief who never saw Alaska and who never will, yet who directs it's destiny.
 The Congressman is correct in saying that Alaska s bureaucratic government failed; aye helpessy and hopeessly, and Alaskans all will hope that he will continue his fight to give the Territory litle more practical management and little less technical knowledge and experience"
 Exploitation they cry, Exploitation must be pre- vented Exploitation be damned! Let's have a little practical management of affairs and less suspicion and fear o the other fellow Let not official Wash lngton or official Alaska think that every man or corporation who wants develop industry is trying to steal the eye-teeth of Uncle Sam
 Congressman Curry is to be congratulated for taking a stand against the bureaus.

The declaration will carry a great deal of weight coming it does from great whose declarations alway carry weight with the American people
 Of the seal islands receipts should come to Alaska to be used here The seal islands Alaskan territory, and the taking of the proceeds them for the Federal treasury is placing unusual tax Alaska soil and Alaskan industry. In other sections of the country there is land industrial tax collected for the Federal treasury The receipts of the government from them confined to the tariff internal revenue and other taxes such as the people of Alaska required to pay in addition to the tribute that is laid those parts the Territory which set apart in reservations.
 Gov Riggs called the attention of the authori- ties at Washington to Alaskas claim to these Pribof Island proceeds, and urged in his late report that the dlam be recognized. It is not strange that Sec retary Hoover quickly caught the point
