ALASKA'S CALL FOB
ATTENTION.
The disastrous tidal wave that!
partly overwhelmed the Alaskan city
of Nome has aroused friendly sym
pathy in the rest of the United
States. Substantial gifts of money
and supplies have been made. The
people of Alaska will be grateful for
this help in time of need. But they
would be glad to see this opportun
ity for friendly miuistration wholly
ignored, if they could have in its
place some attention and needed leg
islation from congress.
Alaska exported $45,000,000 worth
of produce in 1912, six times more
than Unclee Sam paid for the terri
tory. It is sometimes asserted that
Alaska has a greater proportion of
college bred men than any state in
the union. But the call for careful
study of its neods, and decision upo
some settled land and mining policy,
remains unheard. As a result Its
population, practically stationary for
a dozen years. Is unsettled and part
ly nomadic. There is no secure bas
is of legislation on which to build
industrial life and institutions.
A prominent Massachusetts man
ufacturer remarked the other day,
"What country owns Alaska now,
anyway?" And most of the people
who could answer this elementary
question have but the haziest idea o
Alaska with its territory twice the
size ot Texas and of its pressing
needs.
As a result i f the quarrel over
the question of conservation of the
coal lands, the United States owns
a lot of idle coal property. It will
neither sell it, pive it away, lease it,
or operate minr>s itself. If a private
individual did that with his own
property, he would be called senile,
and a guardian would be appointed.
Congress should agree on some de
cided line of policy, and set loose
the wonderful stores of energy j
ready to labor at the bidding of
man.—The Pocatello Tribune.
