The Alaska fisherman., 1932-08-15

"nen man IS wrong in his past opinions and comes to see the error of his way, the best thing he can do is to admit his fault and strive to correct it. This is the task have before me. It is not going to be an easy task, but it must be done. I have always opposed the southeastern Alaska pulp sales as dastardly betrayal of Alaska and the con- f1dence of the American people. l have recently seen the light and will do what can, in this letter, to rectify my past indis- ccetion.
 R. Y. Stuart, one of the men, or rather the man most qualified to know what it is all about is making valiant attempt, in an article published in the Seward Gateway" to justify the south- eastern Alaska pulp sales. His article is well worth the reading by any and all Alaskans. Not only is it worth reading; it is worth studying! He is very frank in his statements. He is bidding for support of the Forest Service, from \Alaskans, by objecting to the idea of making an inviolable brown bear paradise of Admiral ity Island. He is saying one word for bruin and twenty for the pulp sales. It is an article such as I have been hoping and praying that some Forestry official would write and publish. We were treated to something similar about five years ago from the pen of B. F. Hintzelmann but have always been rather chary of quoting MT. Hintzelmann as official. He not so highly enough placed but that his statements might be repudiated and dis owned as unauthorized by his superior officers. Now we have it from the highest authority: R. Y. Stuart, Chief Forester.
The Alaska fisherman., 1932-08-15

justment of my standards it is going to be struggle to come t. the point of view of the bu- reau heads who have been active in obstructing the development Of Alaska. They must certainly have shriveled up souls and an absolute vacuum where their sense of proportion should be. But then, I am old fashioned! I have always been laboring under the misconception that I have been living under a government, primarily interested in the well fare of people,: rich and poor alike. Not so! says Mir. Stuart. The Forestry Department is an instrument which has been ac- tive in the past and is active to- day in keeping Alaska's timber resources bottled up until such a time as it is absolutely safe and fool proof to have some one with lcts of dollars come and make the harvest.
 When We stop and look back it certainly is shame that all of our country did not have the benefit of the vision of the Stuarts and the O'Malleys of to- day when the States were being first settled and improved. Take my own native State of Cali fornia for instance. Just see what a mess they have made of things down there. Some five million people have crowded within the confines of it's bord- CTS, with no system or foresight. Why I have actually seen roads built in California without cost ing as much as it takes to make the survey on one in Alaska. The poor saps didn't have any sense of proportion at all. They built cities wherever they could get a crowd togather to sell them land. Whenever a man had an idea, he was at liberty to go right ahead

Ideas From An Old Fashioned American To The New
 

tul, some of them worked, more did not, some made money, others went broke. My dad got married on the strength of his prospects from forty acres of spuds and then had to dump his produce in the bay. Grandad had two thousand acres of val- icy land and was land poor when he died. Twenty years later dad bought a quarter section of this same land and paid one hundred and fifty dollars an acre and sold it a year later for two hundred. Today it is worth two thousand.
 As a kid I went to school with a bunch of red readed Irish wildcats named O'Hara-ten or twelve of them. Their dad was a crazy mutt and a working fool he had a bunch of sand land out in the chaparrel country and a six horse team of mustangs not much larger than jackrabbits. The harness was mostly baling wire. He used this outfit and a light two horse wagon to cart live oak wood into town to trade for grub. Feeding his numerous brood kept him pretty we'll oc- cupied but every spare moment he had, he put in yanking the greasebrush out of the sand.

CURTIS SPURS G. 0. P.
OF WEST VIRGINIA
More Emphasis Upon Hoover Fol.
lows His Tour-Democrats
Claiming State, However.
BY ROBERT H. HORNER.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHARLESTON, w. VA, October l.
The two-day visit to West Virginia of
Vice President Curtis early this week
has had the effect of stimulating Re-
publican activity throughout the State
and has caused all State candidates to
begin sounding praise of President
Hoover.
Until Mr.. Curtis came. candidates
had been concentrating their efforts
upon their own campaigns, but the
Vice President Is understood to have
brought a gentle reminder that the
time was ripe for Republicans to pay
more attention to the head of the ticket.
Another voice which sought to stir
West Virginia Republicans during the
week was Senator H. d. Hatfield, who
came TO Charleston on Tuesday and
met with group of Federal officeiold-
ers. Senator Hatfield is understood to
have told the Government e-lployes
that it was necessary for theln 70 get
busy for President Hoover.
Mr.. Curtis visited Parkersburg. Point
Pleasant and Charleston. and at all
three places he drew record breaking
crowds Particularly at Charleston was
the Vice President well received.
Meantime, the Democrats throughout
the State are concentrating their praise
on Gov Roosevelt and are optimistic in
claims Of carrying the State in the No
vember election
1t Is common talk among the OBJ
servers at Charleston that Roosevelt
will carry the State if a change does
not occur between now and the cleo
ton" Many Republicans privately con-
cede that the Democratic chances for
success. including the entire ticket, are
exceptionally strong.

AUSTIN, Tex, October 1.-Two de-

toral votes for Roosevelt and Garner.

How the Political Tides Are Flowing

two Of the most important Of all the
States-New York. with its Al elec-
toral votes, and New Jersey, with
16-are still doubtful. In the EN-
pire State there were no far-reaching
political developments during the
week. either Republican or Demo-
cratic. The leaders on both sides
were looking forward to the State
conventions, scheduled for Monday
and Tuesday, the Republicans at
Buffalo and the Democrats at Al
bany. With Col. william j. Donovan
expected to be their nominee for
Governor and F. Trubee Dawson
being mentioned for lieutenant gov
ernor, chief interest among Repub-
licans centers around the choice CT
a senatorial nominee to oppose Sen
ator Wagner. As to the Democratic
convention, there is said to be still
some doubt whether Lieut.. Gov.
Herbert H. Lehman will be named
for Governor, as desired by Gov.
Roosevelt, or whether. upstate and
metropolitan leaders will unite on
another, presumably Mayor John
Boyd Thacher of Albany. While it
Is conceded that Tammany. with the
aid Of upstate allies, could control
a majority of the delegates and
name ticket IL 1t wishes to do SO,
Roosevelt supporters express the be-
lief that no such fight will develop
in the convention
Although New Jersey Is normally
Republican in presidential years, this
weeks dispatches say the State is in
the doubtful class at this stage, due
to uncertainty as to how the large
group of citizens who only go to the
polls in presidential years will line
up this time. A correspondent there
reports that New Jerseys electoral
vote Is not assured for either can
didate on sentiment displayed thus
far.
Because Of unusual conditions this
year, October Is expected to be a
period Of active campaigning on
both sides In Republican Pennsyl-
vania. Low registration of voters
thus far Is one factor in this more
than usual activity. The report
from Pennsylvania says that if the
combination of economic protest,
low registration and reduced cam
paign funds do not prove too much
OF handicap. history indicates a
Hoover Curtis victory.
Dry Issue Enters Contests.
The dispatches this week from
Pennsylvania and several other States

There were no far-reaching tremors

the visit. The questions dealt with

VIRGINIA REVERSING
1928 CAMPAIGN ROLE
Democrats Now United and Repub-

Troubles, Survey Shows.
BY r. L. c. BARRET.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


RICHMOND, Va, october In
contrast with the 1928 situation in Vir-
ginia, when the Democrats were badly
split and the Republicans worked IN
harmony, the presidential campaign in
this State with the opening of October
shows the Democrats to be working In
unision, while the Republicans are be-
ginning to have family troubles.
A letter, made public this week, In
which Jennings C. Wise, one of the
main Republican campaigners of 1928
refers to Robert H. Angel. State Re-
publican chairman, as utterly useless,
has aroused much indignation on the
part of Mr.. Angell's friends and may be
the prelude to a serious division in the
party.
Col. wise, who is brother Of Henry
A. Wise, Republican congressional
candidate in the second district, not
only referred to Mr.. Angel as utterly
useless" but declared that the Repub-
lican party in Virginia is lacking in an
effective State organization and that
steps should be taken to bring about
Mr.. Angelrs retirement "if he does not
get busy at once"
The speaking campaign in Virginia
is now well under way. The addresses
deal generally with the tariff, the de-
preston and other economic questions.
Both parties seem to desire to steer
clear of the wet and dry question.
There is so far no organized bolt In
either party. To date there has never
been quieter presidential campaign in
Virginia than the one now IN progress.

ROOSEVELT'S ARIZONA
VISIT HELD PROFITLESS

Special Dispatch to The Star.
PHOENIX, Ariz. October Gov.
Franklin D. Roosevelt didn't help his
chances in Arizona by his visit here, in
the opinion of political observers.
More than $4,000 persons turned out
to greet the Democratic nominee during
his hour stop in Phoenix. The Governor
made two talks of five minutes each.
Republicans seized the opportunity to
distribute handbills through the crowds
challenging Roosevelt to declare his
stand on a copper tariff and live stock
embargo. No attention was paid the
circulars
With Sidney p Osborn. Phoenix pub
Usher, elected Democratic State chair
man, and Dr.. r. j. Stroud of Tempe,
chosen as the Republican chairman,
rumbhngs of discomfort already are be-
ing heard in the ranks of each party.
The story is going the rounds in po-
litical circles that Frank H. Hitchcock,
former Postmaster General and Repub-
lican committeeman from Arizona, will
not support former Senator Ralph H.
Cameron, Republican senatorial nomi-
nee.
In Democratic ranks the story Is
widely circulated that C. w. Van Dyke,
Gov. Hunts political advisor, will not
support DIR. B. B. Moeur, who beat
Hunt for the Democratic gubernatorial
nomination. 1t also is reported that the
Arizona Highway Department, called
''the Hunt machine" will not support
the Democratic nominee. but is dicker-
ing with Jack G.. Kinney Of Tucson,
Republican candidate for Governor.
Some Republican leaders express the
belief that these riffs will help President

vers best chance to win the State lies in
the quarrel that will keep thousands Of
Democrats from voting straight ballots
