SKCKKTARY FALL'S I'KOI'OSAL
In a recent speech Secretary Fall suggested the availability of a new
source from which payment of a soldiers' bonus easily might be derived.
Hut a careful consideration of the matter does not convince one of the
practicability of the suggestion. :
Secretary Tall declared that Alaska can n:iv the bonus If the wonder-|
ful northern territory is properly developed, le asserts that the govern- J
ii « nt. in time, as a result of such development, would receive I12.000,000,- i
I'UO in royalties from coal, oil and other mineral products. He tells of
cannel coal deposits which underlie an unbroken area 600 miles long by I
125 miles wide, and is ouly ten inches to ten feet below the surface.
These statements are indeed attractive. The secretary very likely Is |
accurate in all that he sajs. It is a matter of general knowledge that the
oil supply, for instance, in the territory practically is unlimited. Large
quantities, as the secretary reminds us, have been flowing out of the J
ground into the ocean for centuries. .
But Alaska is not developed. It is far away. Its development would i
take time. Perhaps the government might work out some plan by which It
could anticipate its eventual uist income from this source and thus pay the j
bonus, but that is doubtful. Hut what the government could and should
do. as a suggestion of Alaskan development by liberalizing the laws which J
now stand in the way of such development.
That $12,000.00*.' " would be of mighty assistance In these days of
lax oppression. Let it be u.ade unliable for ti.e future. Induce corpora
tions to essay the development of our great possession by offering thain
reasonable leases atul leaving .in free to operate without hampering re
xtr.ctions.
Alaska is a wonderful land, but it is being neglected. Vast wealth lies
i I
there, awaiting the d.i> when intelligent sl-itennanshlp shall have opened
:iie way for its liberation. There aie. in Alaska, gold and irou and silver
and copper; gas and oil; there are furs and fisheries; there are valuable
timber lauds. Wheat and practically everything raised on American farms
ian be raised on large ari as in Alaska. Railroads and development of min
ing and farm lands will bring to us tile billions the secretary mentions, in
a continuous golden stream.—Cincinnati Knquiier.
OIL IN ALASKA
Delegate Sutherland's bill to appropriate JJ.Oo'J.OOO for oil exploraiion
in Alaska is a proposal to ilo wildcatting in Alaska at the public expense.
There can be but one poss.ble excuse for spending the public money on
wildcatting in Alaska rather than else That is that something
Is due the territory in return for federal neglect and hindrance of its de
velopment.
But even then we are not sure that Delegate Sutherland's proposal is
right in principle. We speak advisedly when we term oil exploration in
Alaska wildcatting. WildcaitiUg. in the language of the petroleum indus
try. is drilling for oil where it has not been proven to exist.
That is the situation in Alaska. There has been a great deal of loose
talk about the territory's wealth of oil. It simmers down to this, at Ka
talla. on the coast near Cordova, there have been for fifteen years two
small oil wells—no more now than hfteen years ago—and in various plae-,
es in Alaska there are seepages and geological indications of oil.
The only way to prove whether these indications are backed by prof
itable oil measures is by drilling—by wildcatting. So far there has been
none. The only precise knowledge as to how far the indications justify
wildcatting—an extremely expensive business—is undoubtedly In the pos
session of the big oil companies, which, of course, have investigated the
possibilities.
it must be obvious that if they think the indications warrant taking
the chance thej will do the wildcatting, unless they can get someone else
—the government for example—to take the risks. So it seeais only reason
able the the wildcatting be left to them. If they do not do it we can he
sure that it is because they do not believe it would pay. And in that case |
:here is no reason why the taxpayers should do it.
It is, however, the proper duty of the government to make sure that [
private oil exploration in Alaska is not hindered by foolish and unaeces- I
aary restrictions. Tren we may be certain that development will proceed !
