Cooke on the Mississippi.
(New ork Times )


 Morris Llewellyn Cooke was reporter once, years ago After that he was an apprentice in Cramps shipyards and later a journeyman machin- ist When he became a consulting engineer he spent much of his spare time initiating his fellow engineers into the mysteries of the Taylor system of scientific management, then in it's heyday. Of late years he has been something of spur in the flank of the Power Trust, being regarded by the conservatives radical and by the radicals a conservative He directed the Grant Power Survey of 1923 in Pennsylvania. He is enthusiast for rural identification and promotional rates in the domestic field. Governor Franklin Roosevelt thought so much of his abilities that he appointed him, a- though a resident of sister Commonwealth a charter member of the St. Lawrence Power Author ity; President Franklin Roosevelt made him Chair man of the Mississippi Valley Committee of the PWA.
 Such is the background of the man who with the aid of number of economists, college pro- fessors and other engineers, has brought in the report on the development of that valley which made such display in recent newspapers It must have been just the kind of labor that would appeal to MT. Cooke, combining specifications for dams and dynamoS with something in the way of blue print of future civilization in the great heart of the American continent "A drainage basin, big or litte is a region through which water moves" he de- cares in his introduction. It would be easy enough to scoff at a proposition so self-evdent did not the mere flow of water halfway the continent
 
 to capture for of power and navigation of water supply and sanitation of forestry irrigation and conservation, of electric lights in remote farm houses and turning wheels of industry, all under effective control
 To what extent they can be put under such control, either in planning administration, one hestates to predict, in these days of lmitess aspiration. Not having Pharaoh in this and or even a Thames Conservancy Board, and only the rudiments of any regional organization, whatever development proves feasible along the broad lines indicated in the report must be left to the joint effort of the States and the Federal Govrnment MT. Cooke is not afraid to have the latter assume the responsibilities to which it is accustomed and even to add those initiatives which are now so much the vogue in the field of electric power; he goes so far to hold that Government control of transmission lines is fundamental. But he does not relish having the basin States taught to regard Uncle Sam universal Santa Claus, and he makes the arrestng suggestion that local communities share with the Federal Government the cost of enter prises from which they expect to derive direct benefit President Roosevelt appears to approve this idea The local politicians have yet to be heard from.
 The 235-page report contains mass of the most alluring pictorial statistics unusual in a Government document but very helpful to the lay reader.

the Territory municipalities should go in the liquor business and does not favor monopolies either private public
 The distribution of $4,319,820, in Federal funds during the past two years in the Territory is ex- plained in the report. Every resident is aware of how these expenditures have aided the economic condition of the Territory.
 As stated in the preamble of the message, the wise mariner, particularly after storm, before changing course takes observation and ascertans the position of his ship"
 The message not only gives the position of the Territory and its condition, but thoughtfuly points out many constructive possibilities for the future, and in conclusion admirably advises that what ever we do let of forget that Alaska is one Territory and it's people people. Let us not permit sectional ambition or rivalry to divide us and let us eliminate quarreling and pickering and strife"
 Throughout this is the keynote of the message and for the good of every Alaskan it is hoped it will be adhered to.

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

Comprehensive in scope analytical in text, writ ten from perspective cognzant with the Territory as a whole and the diverse problems confronting it, the message of Governor John W. Troy, to the Twelfth Legislative Session, which printed in full in yesterdays Empire, is a document which should prove of much value to the session, and afford intelligent factual information to the resi- dents of the Territory.
 Because of the unusual conditions that have prevailed during the past two years, and the new agencies created to meet these conditions, review of the history making events that have transpired in the Territory during this period well recom mendations for the future included in the Governors report

Also that from the trend of the National Administration policy it is certain that the Territory will necessarily bear of relief expenditures than it has in the past, and through these factors new sources of tax revenue, from mines and other possible sources, may be necessary.
 timely warning was given not to overtax industries already doing business in Alaska and not to discourage industries which will offer future of revenue and development from coming into the Territory along with a plea for fairness to labor.
 Conforming with Alaska's desire for home rule the Governor advocates the gradual taking over of the fisheries through Federal legislation giving the Territorial Legislature authority to legislate CO., equally with Congress. Through this procedure the Territory could proceed carefully and not eopardize the welfare of the thousands who are employed in Alaskas largest industry. the from which than eighty per cent of the Territorial taxes are derived.
