BONE SAYS HOOVER AS PRES
IDDENT WILL. AIR ALASKA
Declaring that Alaska is an over
governed domain -with bureaucracy
prevailing in aHSost/paralyzing form,:
former Governor Scott C. Bone ex- i
presses the conviction, in a statement |
published in the Los Angeles Times, \
that a large measure of relief will i
come to the Territory through the i
election of Hoover as president.
“It was my privilege to become i
closely acquainted with Herbert Hoo
ver during President Harding’s mem
orable visit to Alaska in 1923,” the
former chief executive of the Terri
tory explains. “I traveled with him
for two weeks continuously aboard
the transport Henderson. Alaska’s
problems are complex. It is an over- J
governed domain. Bureaucracy pre-1
vails in almost paralyzing form. In
numerable agencies under seven de
partments at Washington have a hand
in the administration of affairs. Ef
forts toward co-ordination have, per
sistently come to naught. On that
trip—the first ever made by a presi- i
dent to Alaska—three members of the
Cabinet were included in the party.
Qne of these, Herbert Hoover, was
the one member of the .president’s
family who had a ready and intelli
gent grasp of the Territory’s needs.
He recognized that ..efficient, service
was impossible under such a.system
of government. H^is the one mem
ber of the Harding and Cpolidge.-offi
cial family who , has „. ,? cqp.pvplished
something, in a constructive way, for
Alaska. And, as a lover of Alaska,
and with implicit faith in the ultimate
future of the Northland. I honestly
believe that .his election to the presi
dency offers much of promise to Alas
ka- That he would permit such,a sys
tem to be prolspged is inconceivable.
“Early in his first administration
Theodore Roosevelt sounded a warn
ing in a message to Congress about
the depletion of the fisheries of Alas
ka. A vast industry had grown up in
lukphazard fashion which threatened
tn«t. destruction of the salmon and
haljbtit- Nothing was done about it
until Herbert Hoover became Secre
tary of Commerce. Then he formu
lated and succeeded in putting thru
Congress legislation vesting control
of the fisheries in his department. Im
. _1!L.
mediately regulations were adopted
and enforced which have put the in
dustry,. representing an investment of
$75,000,000, upon a safe and. sound
basis that makes for conservation.
Stubborn resistance, was offered by
the packers initially, hut now they see
the wisdom of the measure, he insti
tuted and are thoroughly in sympathy,
with the reforms brought about. TKip
illustrates Herbert Hoover. He does,
not talk about a problem, but pro
ceeds to solve or meet it- Therefore
1 have the fullest confidence that
Alaska,, which cost Uncle Sam $7,
200,000, and hys yielded wealth . ex
ceeding a ! '.ion and a half, would be
brought i'.uo its own at his capable
hands.. Being, a co-ardinator, a
builder,' a constructive genius, it nat
urally and surely follow^ .that he be
lieves in party co-ordination and or
ganization and would not tolerate
wasteful and disorganizing methods
so common to national, vgunpaigns. I
confidently believe that the country
will he overwhelmingly,- for Hoover,.,,
and as a Republican and an Alaskan I
hail the prospect as insuring great
achievements for the republic.”
The Last Straw.
A city magnate the other day sum-,ij
moned his manager.
“Look here, Robinson,’V said he.
“You’ll have to talk to that sew fel-,
low Jones you took on as shorthand,
typist.” I *
“Why, what’s the matter with,
him?” said Robinsom “I know he
stutters rather badly,- but you said—'*
“I said I didn’t mind that, buC look
at this—” The magnate held out a
letter which read: “In refeference to
yours of the 7th ult. . . .
Then he continued: “Stuttering on
the typewriter I dimply won’t stand.”'
