ALASKA BEING HELD CAPTIVE

congression committee is to investigate Alaska The President of the United States IS expected to visit Alaska The new Governor of Alaska has spoken in Chicago and else where for the business development ot Alaska' In the April number of popular magazine lie sets forth the business opportunities that eA- ist in Alaska.
 This is as it should be. It the Government IS too timid to protect adequately American bus mess in East Asia, too prejudced to open the way for American business in Mexico, and too susnicious of American business to en- courage it in the Philippines, it at least ought to promote American enterprise on American soil near home.
 That is the proposition for Alaska, and It is pressing proposition Ill these lean tllneS'
 In the last great business crlsls 1olloWlhs 2 great war, American buslness-blg business found relief in the development of the West' Now Alaska is no Western empire, like that of the '7O's but is an empire of resources sec ond only to what the West was 5O years ago.
 Ten times as big as Illinois, with more ag- ricultural land than Illinois and Indiana com bined, and with such underground riches as other nations fight wars for on the other con- tinent of the world
 Why does Alaska remain worked, neglected and practically closed to American buslness just at time when American business could use Alaska to advantage?
 Because, as Mr. Beveridge would say, the government has laid on it the "dead hand.'
 By means of some 40 departments and bu- reaus administering more than 300 reserves and controlling by special laws the whole life huC Alaska are restrained and restricted by the officials in Washington. The idea has been to save Alaska from being "exploited,' but so tightly has the red tape been drawn that Alas ka not only has been spared all exploitation, but also all development
 The story of Alaskan coal is familiar-de- posits of 15O,000,00000 tons, according to the geological survey and half the coal burned in the Territory imported from the United States But the rest of the story is less known, especially in the East. Alaska has also 100000 square miles of land, fit for cultivation. Alas ka has "sun-kissed'' valleys large enough to hold Norway, fertile enough to house and feed millions, great enough to become a nation by themselves.
 Alaska is estimated by the government to have 77OO0OO0,OO0 feet of merchantabe tim Der. Alaska has oil resources that have been hardly touched. Secretary Fall says they amount to at least 25,OO0,0O0 barrels on the government lands.
 One might go on indefinitely with the fig ures, but it is useless No body denies the wealth is there. No body questions that, if developed it would promise more to American business, more to American prosperity than did the "great American desert" half cen- tury ago.
 What business folly would be worse than to let the "great American dessert"' remain des- sert? Only to let deserted Alaska remain des- serted Alaska.
 Under the dead hand administration of 40 separate governing bodies in Washington the white population of Alaska has sunk from 36,-

A candidate for mayor in Parsons, Kansas, is true reformer. He promises, if electer, to cut his own salary from $25 to $10 per month. Twas the night before pay day,
 And all through my jeans, I was searching in vain
 For the price of some beans. But nothing was doing;
 The milled edge had quit; Not a penny was stirring,
 Not even a jit. Backward, turn backward,

 Just for tonight!

''There is no way,' says Secretary Mellon, ''by which the American taxpayer can avoid
 the burden.' The remark was part of a letter to Chairman Fordney of the Way and Means Committee in which the Secretary of the Treasury discussed the bonus bill now pend ing in the House. Regardless of what bonus plan may finally be worked out, the people ultimately have got to put up the billions to pay its obligations. That holds true whether the soldiers get their money from bond sales, adjusted service certificates, receipts from the foreign debt, miscellaneous taxes, or a sales tax.

Augusta News Letter

Local Fuel Situation

If we cannot get coal, we can
burn wood. Thank heaven Augusta
is located in the hard wood region
and we aren't going to freeze to
death as long as any of us can swing
an axe" Such are the thoughts of
our people in the present situation,
says the Augusta news letter of the
Augusta Chamber of Commerce
which has just been issued.
Continuing, the news letter says
in part as follows:
Here is a chance to use the SER
vices and organizing abilities of your
Chamber of Commerce. What is
everyones business is the Chamber
of Commences business and 1t is
everyone's business to see to 1t that
some sort of a supplementary fuel
supply is made available at once to
offset the possibility of a partial
or complete shortage Of coal.
The first step is for everyone to
make known his needs. In case
your coal bin and your woodshed are
empty you should make an estimate

blank that is being printed in the
Kennebec Journal. This will be fol-
lowed by an order blank on which
you may actually order all or part
Of the fuel needed.
A committee of ten has been ap-
pointed to round up this fuel. They
can do various things on the strength
of your orders actually in hand. (a)
They can induce farmers to cut hard
wood CD they can import hard wood
from the North woods by rail (c)
they can organize wood cutting
squads and buy stumpage for them
to work on, etc.
The committee for Augusta as ap-
pointed by your Board of Directors
is made up as follows: c. S. Purin-
ton. Llcwellyn Cooper, Wilbert Will
son Ward y; Levi Williams,

Ayers (Ward w; l.. NJ. Hart (Ward
ND: f. A. Husscy (Ward NID; G..
A. ColEurn CWard NIlD.
The Chamber of Commerce has
also accepted responsibility for the
work in the various towns and cities
Of Kennehec Valley. A committee
of three citizens has been named by
each town and it is our business to
keep them informed concerning de-
velopments and the part they are
expected to play in the present
crisis. We are working for Fuel
Director. A. T. Lane, and under his
direction.
The auto camp is proving quite
popular this summer and hardly a
day passes without its quota of ar
rivals. The word is being passed
around and we have put out signs
that direct the tourists to the
grounds.
We are pleased to welcome Frank
A. Tracy to the directorate of the
Chamber of Commerce. He has al
ready served two terms and has
given a good account of himself in
attendance and in good judgment,
just the type of fellow We need on
a board that is expected to work for
the welfare and up-bulding of our
city.
