Sherwood and Bull, Mimi, were
among those forced to nee from the
path of the flames. To sum up, as
state forester Cox said last night
before leaving st. Paul last night
for Duluth, the situation is the most
menacing in years with scores Of
fires in the wooded country from
a point one hundred miles north of
the Twin Cities to the Canadians
border from one end OF the state to
the other in the northern section.
Nearly all this area has been
without rain for more than six
weeks, creating condition that,
should a hurricane wind succeed
in uniting the numerous. fires, would
result in the most disastrous Gala
nifty in the histor..,sof the state, in
the opinion of Mr.. Cox.

Conserved Wrong Resource.
Q
(COrdOYa Times. ]


 Conservation has been dinned into our ears until the very word is anathema to Alaskans. We have been conserved for the benefit of future generations all directions Through the efforts of that disciple of purity whose recent nomination Governor of Pennsylvania secured by the expenditure of a slush fund great as to make Senator Newberry look like a pker, large part of the population Of Alaska has been conserved out of the Territory.
 It is to be regretted that the conservation fad dsts directed their attention to the throtling of the industries which most needed development and en- tirey overlooked the activity which needed regu- laton, namely the salmon fisheries. The wind Of reckless slaughter of the parent fish returns as the whrlwind of destruction. Aided by the made quacy of fishing laws and inefciency of bureaucratic administration, the end of the prosperous salmon fisheries of central Alaska is in sight
 Some one said An optimst is fool with his brains knocked out" While hardly agree with this definition a general rule. yet it seems ap- pcable the individual who looks back on the record catch of salmon the Copper River section for the past eight years and still talks about the big run will surely have next year Drastic measures alone will the industry. Put all the Territory from Cape St. Elias to Seward into reserve to be operated under such regulations are now applicable to the Alaska Peninsula Reserve limiting the catch and preventing the construction of canneries operation.

 The history of government for the past thirty years has largely consisted of at tempts to regulate these corporations But Government legalistc, and the only way it occurred to regulate them was through restrictive laws. The sherman anti trust law stands a symbol of them all. Bar the progress of the trust. Do something, do anything to keep the big corporations from becoming powerful. And in mak- ing them less powerful for evil incident ally made them less powerful for good until, when the Nation war, it found that the railroads could not legally serve it to the best of their ability. They were so tied up with restrictions that they could not function perform maximum service in transportation. In self-defense then, the Government had to take them over for the Government did not have to obey the laws it had passed which made railroading in- effective
 This is where Mr Ludlow the need of the en gineer in government. railroad system cannot b run on thou shalt nots." If the great public serv ice corporations are actually to the public new principle than simply of restriction must b applied.
 Take the Interstate Commerce Commission" sait Mir. Ludlow:
 If the purpose of such commission is primarily to keep the railroads from volat- ing the laws then lawyers are the logical persons to appoint upon it. But if the primary purpose is to make interstate com merce as efficient and economical as 1t can become the logical appointees would be engineers. The question fundamentally is: In what way equity be best achieved, through passing laws intended to keep some body from getting rich, or through regua- tions so that the institution may perform maximum amount of service without doing injury to the public greater than the value of its service?

Discussing the situation, MT. Ludlow says:
 Government has got away from the peo- pie. It hasn't been achieving what has been expected of it and politics has become dis credited before. Electing reform administrations doesn't produce satisfactory results. The movements for more Democ- racy' have been equally discouraging; the abolition of bossism, the direct primaries, the direct election of hitherto appointed officials, the referendum, recall and other measures, however people may hold to them in prn- ciple, have not solved the problem of how D to make government keep pace with life. 7 There is an alarming cynicism today in fact. toward all things political. Isn't it time that the situation were calmly analysed from every possible standpoint?
 Life in America ever since the Civil War has been almost completely industrial ized while the Government has remained f very much the same kind of a political or ganization that it was before When our Government established the population consisted almost entirely of farmers and handicraftsmen Men economic and political equals and the main object of Gov ernment was to preserve equity between them. Even though a were wealthy. he did not exert great influence upon the life of large groups the director of great industrial enterprises does today. There were no cities in the modern sense. rail- roads, great industrial centers. If worker in the villages became dscon tented he went West and took up land; and he worked the land individually Democracy in such society could be fairly realized by the simple process of giving every a vote.
 { But now we have passed through com plete transformation Millions of men associated today in single enterprise The soca pattern is SO intricate that there is and can be no independence. Even the farmer does not live by himself. His hogs are but

NEED FOR ENGINEERS IN GOVERNMENT

There are few students of the activities of the times who will admit that Edwin Ludlow, re- tirng President of the American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers, hit the nail the head when he declared that of the needs of the hour is that of engineering leadership in public life in America. We have engineers country, an engineers civilization and a lawyers government They do not function in coordination There is too II ach friction much loss in opposing force against force that should be cooperating toward desirable end. It is worth while also to note in this connec- ton that shall not get engineering leadership Tn political affairs unless go after it. Experience shows that Ludlow is right when he says that eff an engineer could play politics he wouldn't be much of engineer.
 Lawyer-made governments were built largely upon questions personal and political rights and their involvemens industrial and social conditions that developed before the need for cooperative efficiency in production had become apparent. They were developed during the periods when the world making its way from absolutism, feudasm, fan acism and bigory to freedom. These problems have been solved. There is pretty general agreement upon them. Great inventions and scientific develop industry transportation and in social contacts among peoples called into existence far different situations. They made way for the engineer, the expert in material development It has naturally followed that governments must be made to fit the new condition. Governments cannot rest content swith pnnishing people for violating the law nor with l rights of others. Governments must be made to fit into the new condition, they be made efficient themselves and made to cooperate with efficiency in ether activities Otherwise Government interference be but restricting meddlesomeness. We have suffered a great deal from this of interference. Wesley Mccormick, commenting upon Mr. Lud- lows position, apty says:
 Some people will perhaps steal under any
 conditions, but when there is unemployment
 when there isn't fair chance to function
 normally-a lot of become criminals.
 The lawyers way of meeting the situation
 is to put the criminals in jail. The engi
 neer's way would be to put everybody to
 work. Both methods necessary But when
 conditions become altogether too much for
 legal procedure cope with, the need for
 engineering becomes most urgent
 MT. Ludlow says engineers do not want to the Government but they want the Government that they may function in places where engineers required to get the best results He says, how ever, if the people of the country should to engineers for the engineering ability to work out the governmental problems along lines that would count for efficiency. patriotic engineers would follow the example of MT Hoover and give their services the public.
