Delegate States Position On Performance of
 Assessment Work.

n explanation Of his attitude in Op- position to the further extension of time for the performance of annual labor on minIng claims in. Alaska, Delegate Dan Sutherland recently ad-- dressed the following letter to William A. Sulzer, Of New York:
 ''Inasmueh as mem bers of the com mittee on mines. and mining have called nay attention to telegrams re- ceived from Alaska claim owners in New York setting forth that I was misrepresenting the sentiment of Alaska and the people of Alaska in my attitude Of.cpposition to suspension of assessment work in the Territory, l feel that l must state to you briefly just why | have taken the position I have in regard to the bureau bill.
 ''In 1920 over 90 per cent of Alaskan claim owners had performed their an- nual labor before they were aware of the passage of the act providing for suspension until July l, 1921. which was signed by the President late in December.
 II believe am safe in saying that practically all of those who. did not performatheir annual labor on claims in Alaska in 1920 intended to abandon their claims rather than perform the -aanaals Ia ber.s e-s.as--sss-.-s sss-ssz-
 ''Imaintain that it is not fair to the Alaskan prospector who performed his annual labor in good faith that those who had abandoned their claims should have them exempted from assessment work by an act of Congress. In other words, if 1 did not perform my annual assessment work on 8 claim in Alaska, this proposed act, the Bursum bill, would permit me to hold my claim just the same as my neighbor who per formed hls annual labor in person or expended Sl00 for that purpose.
 ''I nave no doubt there are a great many Alaskan claim owners who would like+to hold their property without, the performance of annual labor, but, the Alaskan prospeetor, without knowledge of any pending legislation in Congress, went ahead and did his annual work, and it is not fair to him to pass law for the relief of his thriftless. neig hbor.
 II address this letter to you for the reason that in one of your telesarams you set forth that nay friends would be mortified at. my attitude.' And I want to say to you that L have given shis matter very careful study. and, that from the viewpoint of Q practical apros- pector and miner, and if some of my friends are to be mortified at my ac- tion, l feel that those of my, friends who are practical prospeetors will con- mend my action."

THE FUTURE OIL PRO
BLEMS

The west can be thankful that its
oil industry has not been crippled
by the postwar readjustment
The oil industry has its problems,
however, and the chief one is con-
slant new development TO keep pace
with growing demand To assure
our future oil supply our government
must cooperate with oil producers at
home and abroad The greatest pos
sible efficiency must be gotten by the
automotive industry and consumers
of motor fuel. The oil industry must
be more efficient and get more gaso-
line from each barrel OF crude.
Thomas A. oDonnell, nationally
prominent oil man says: ION is a
world necessity the production OF
which, wherever. found. should be OPP
ened to individual initiative TO tie
end that its refined products, 50
fruitful in creating and assisting
other forms of prouction. may gain
the widest possible distribution. The
American oil industry asks only tI,a
support of the nation in giving il an
equal status putting 1t upon an
equal footing with the nationals OF
other countries in the development
of the worlds petroleum resources.
and il asks this in the interest OF the
nation"

SUGAR BETS PROTECT FARMERS

Never was the value of guaranteed
price" crop better illustrated than with
the growing of sugar beets today.
While prices for other farm crops are
unsettled, the sugar companies and the
beet growers have arrived at definite
contract schedule for beets which assures
the farmer good profit and certain
market.
The American beet sugar industry has
been great help to western agricultural!
developmnt and has prevented this ma
ton from being dependent on foreign
sugar supplies.
1t will probably be necessary for the
government to give this industry some
protection in the interest of the farmer
and manufacturer as against unlimited
foreign competition of sugar produced on
much lower wage scale than in this
country.

RAILROADING THE PUB
Lie

Considerable progress has been
,aade toward the restoration of pre-

commerce has fallen perceptibly and

Foodstuffs sell at a low figure and

Liver than for many years.
There is one big stumbling b,)"k
in the way of price reduction AMI
! II at is the high wage Of labor,
This Is particularly true Of tad
road labor. The wages OF factory
and mill employees of farm and ranch
labor. which rose to high p9iat
ldurlng the war have been reduced |,
but the wages Of railroad employes
(which rose higher than any o.aer
class with working conditions wnich
enabled them to either work short
hours OF obtain greatly increased pay
for over time after eight hours,
have not been reduced.
The level of pay OF railroad labor
which, though working less hours
than other labor is the highest IN
the world. must come down, and the
WORKING conditions must be so re.
vised that railroad labor like other
labor will receive an honest days
pay for fun days work, no less and
no more.
The national agreements should
be abolished. Transportation econom-
les are impossible while they last.
This is true OF working conditions as
OF wages.
