Now Sherman Says Alaska's All Right

President Harding and his cabinet
have devoted several sessionssto dis
cusslon Of the Alaska problem. The
house committee has held extensive
hearings on the Curry bill.
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace
dispatched e. A. Sherman. associate
forester, to Alaska, early last summer
to investigate the alleged retrogression
of the territory. Mr.. Sherman has
Just returned and submitted an elab-
crate report, declaring that Alaska
is suffering from nothing more than
its share Of the worldwide hard times.
All the Industries of the territory, he
reports, are doing as well as If not
better than the same industries else
where.
"In the face of such a showing" the
Sherman report concludes, zone mar
wells more and more at the origin OF
this report that Alaska is on the down
ward grade. ] would like to know the
true nwardness of that idea. The
growth of our northland Is now a
steady growth, In which the resident
Alaskan. and not the promoter or
underwater, Is being the chief bene-
ficiary. That seems to me to be most
desirable"

The President also Is authorized
under such circumstances to deal In
coal and to control its production and
distribution. The President may go
SO far as to take over the operation
of coal mines.
The companion bill provides PEN
atty of not less than 500 nor more
than $4,000 for the first offense of a
coal operator or dealer convicted Of
violation of the law. and for each sue
ceeding offense fine Of not less than
$1,000 and Imprisonment for not less
than 80 days nor more than five years.
In defining what shall be considered
profiteering. the bill specifies margins
of profit for coal operators and dealers
ranging from 10 to 40 cents per ton,
according to the amount of business
DONE Margins are provided not only
for individual sales, but also In the
case Of aggregate sales covering q
years period.

SO they may become useful citizens

one of the big environments and re-
convert it into an educational institu-

real business city because Broadway

trees. The Van Vrooms, the Stuyve-

settlers of the country saved fine trees

trees nowadays on Broadway, and

Beauty and comfort gave way to the
inroads Of commerce, not only In New
York but In most Of Americas great
cities, so that today trees In bust

are elm-shaded villages in New Eng

are oak-tree streets to be seen In the

the planting has been done under mu

a street have been confined to a sim
