BUREAUCRACY IS
ALASKA'S CURSE
Former Governor Bone
Makes Talk to Seattle
Club About Alaska.

SEATTLE, July 10. Bureau
cracy is the greatest curse of the
government, former Governor Scott
C. Bone. told the Young Mems
Republican Club yesterday, in his
talk about Alaska. He contrasted
the administration of the Alaska
Old Age Pension law with the func-
tioning of the Federal bureaus. The
latter he claimed was less efficient.
Although Alaska made little gain
in population in recent year, the
TERRITORY is barely scratched" said
Bone.
The speaker said the country
tapped by the railroad would even
tually prove as rich as the Ohio or
Mississippi Valleys at no distant
date.
ALASKA will add a star or per-
haps two to Old Glory because the
Territory is too vast for one State"
concluded Bone.

Treasury officials declared the

for the latter half of the fiscal
year, showed the lowered rates would
increase receipts and predicted the
law, which was intended to reduce
the tax burden for $4O0,000,000 would
never accomplish the result.
Treasury officials are of the opin-
ion however that lower rates had
opened new channels of income and
encouraged capital to enter produc-
tive enterprises.
The income tax receipts of Wash

Two engineers, representatives of

eastern Alaska investigating pulp
timber and water power resources
and the possibility of the manufac-

Chamber of Commerce was told to-
day by District Forester G. H. Flory.
One of them represents the Inter
national Paper Corporation while the
other had not disclosed his princi-
pals, Mr.. Flory said.
So far, he added, the investiga-
tions had disclosed that local op-
portunities for the industry are more
favorable than had been anticipat-
ed by either engineer. Figures COM
piled by them indicated, he said,
that pulp and paper can be manu-
factured more cheaply in Alaska
than elsewhere on the Pacific Coast

The bureau, he added, had since the

deavored to anticipate the future
