Thos. Riggs, Former Governor. Suggests
 Remedies for Alaska

In an article in a recent edition Of the New York Times. former Governor Thomas Riggs, Jp., advocates giving Alaska control of her own resources as being vital to her, development. He comments freely on bureaucratic rule and ascribes the decline in population and what be terms ''pessimistic out look for future development" to,6he ex@ isting system of Federal long.distance administration. Urging that conserga- rion is misapplied in Alaska, tLe for- mer Governor concludes, his article as follows:
 "Conservation as applied to Alaska is wrong. The theory that predatory interests are only waiting to gobble up all it's natural resources will not even bear investigation. Capital @ill only go to Alaska when there is nowhere else to go. l do not know where con- strucGive enterprise ends and preda- tory interest begins, but l sincerely wish that few more of one or the other were allowed to come into the Territory to open'up great mines, build railroads, explore for oil and coal, es- tablish paper plants and pay the taxes l consider the lease system absolutely wroog, both in theory and practice. T he right to bold timber, oil, coal, az reultural and grazing laEds in any D art of Alaska in fee is the only way In which to promote permanent,l law respecting population. 4 tenant, nn- fortunately. seldom has much respect for his landlords property.
 "Opened to exploitation, without the haenpering apron strings of most of the rty.eight fussy, old ste epmothers in Washington, each with different ideas as to how to bring upsthe child, allow ing not only capital but the individual to make mistakes and suffer for them, to build not only for the present but for future generations, to explore and to settle by right of law and not of re- vocable permit; to be selfish, to gam ble on the future. to light your nelgh boy and yourself, Alaska would slowly fill up with the type of pioneer people who have builded for all time. People will soon make laws not only for their own self-protection, but fo: the protec- ,ion of their mutual resources. After all. laws are only the specialization of public opinion. Man own sel6shness, or self-interest, or dislnterestedness- all depending upon your line of argu- ment, will insist upon sane laws. All peoples, however, resent the lurisdic- sion of the absentee landlord and it is on this principle that our republic IS wounded.
