FIGHTING A POTENTIAL ALASKAN
INDUSTRY.
Certain Washington and Oregon timber land own
ers have pet themselves in opposition to the disposal!
of Alaska timber by the Government particularly for;
pulp and paper manufacture. They represent that the
pulp timber in those States is largely a by-product, and
that loggers till it to manufacturers without taking
stumpage value into account. They say that in log
ging fir and cedar a great deal of hemlock is de
stroyed. It has to be cut, they asert, to make roads
and permit logging operations and they contend that
u vast amount of it is destroyed by falling trees. In
addition. It is contended, the limbs and debris left I
behind the loggers : won become dry and constitute lire
traps for what timber is left standing. They assert,
on the other hand, that the hemlock can be logged
at the same time the fir, or other marketable timber,
Is logged for less than half the cost that would follow
i It were left standing for a separate operation. Therc
i ire, they assert, Alaska timber should not be per
mitted to come Into competition with It.
They admit, however, that if competition can ho
dispensed with for a few years they hope to get
enough paper mills to consume their entire hemlock
production and then they would get as much stumpage
money for hemlock as they now gel for fir. They de
clare that the Government would get a large stumpage
price for its Aluika timber if it would hold it for
some years.
The contention is plausible, but it Is not sound,
ft would have greater weight If it were not for the
fact that an industry is at stake, and that is of far
more importance than the price the Government gets
for its r turn page. If Alaska timber should be with
drawn from the market the pulp and paper manu
facturing industry of the Pacific Coast would be set
tled in the sifuth. It would be a long time before
Aluska could hope to have mills. On tile other hand
if Alaska's timber were made immediately available]
and as a result a large manufacturing industry estab
lished in this country it would mean the development
ot a now section of the country. It would provide
local markets for our fisheries, farms and other in
dustries. It would mean settlement and development
in many lines in udditioij to that directly connected
with the industry, and the development of Alaska is
worth far more to the United States and the Ameri
can people than additional profits for Washington and
Oregon timber land owners. It would in a short time
udd another star to the American flag.
The fact that pulp timber Is offered for low prices
In Washington and Oregon is rather an argument for
low stumpage prices in Alaska than anything else.
Alaska timber should lie available on terms that would
meet competition from other sections. That done and
the rest would he a matter for capital to decide, ir
■Washington and Oregon could offer greater Induce
ments to pulp and paper manufacturers than could
Alaska they would get the major part of the manu
facturing Industry. On the other hand if Alaska,
with her water transportation and available hydro
electric power, could offer the better opportunities
then Alaska would get the major part of the industry.
All Alaska asks is an open field and a fair fight with
mil fiivnr fiw /vein « .. -1 n .1.
premacy
Tho Democrats of the Idaho Dcgl dature have
doricd the position of Senator Borah in favor of I
American participation in an international economic
ccnferenco. The Republicans of the legislature prom
ife a hard light again a the ri ilution introduced by
the Democrats. Senator Borah is a Republican. This
is another Himdration of the failure of party alleg
iance tc repres nt differences of opinion.
PEOPLE EXttECT TOO MUCH.
The reaction throughout the country against tlie
t wo
the
Harding Administration is principally due to
things. Of cour," the tariff bill the highest
country ever has hud -parsed at a time when the
producers were Becking foreign markets and trade ex
pansion rather than high production cost and trade
r-rtriction, has played it part in the general situa
tion. and other things of less importance have had
their influence. But the real cam s behind the re
fiction have been that the people expected too much
and too much was promised and attempted
The people who gave Mr. Harding such an over
■whelming majority two yc.ua ago expected the immed
iate 1 ectiiieation of fir* disturbed conditions that had
resulted from the war. They couldn’t he rectified by
President Harding or Congress or any other agency save
the operation of time. The managers of the Admin
istration party premised immediate rectification and
at tho tame time attempted to keep in one harmon
ious political organization all the elements that con
tributed to the 7,000,000 majority of the voters re
ceived by Mr. Harding and to satisfy all the elements
represented In the 167 Republican majority in the
j|ousc of Representatives and the 24 majority in the
Senate. It couldn't be done, and in attempting to dc
It one after another of the "Administration polities’
had to be abandoned.
The reaction against President Harding and his
Administration resembles that against President Wil
cn and his Administration which followed the term
Ination of the war. People expected the end of tin
war to see an immediate restoration of prewar condi
tions. They exp- ted the impossible, and when a re
turn to norm-ales was promised by those who oppoaei
Ills party in the campaign of 1920 they promised to<
much and the people who expected an immediate ful
Aliment of the promise expected the impossible.
Normal conditions were not restored in Europe fci
'Cverul decades after Waterloo, which marked th<
lermination of the Napoleonic wars, and a decade am
i half intervened between Appomattox and normalcy
The people expected tile impossible from both th<
Wilson and Harding Administrations and the next Ad
ministration will be fortunate, indeed, if the peoph
Jo not expect too much of it.
The Soviet government of Russia asks the I'nilei
■states to permit Russian traders to engage in com
mcrce with the I'nited States through Alaska. Thl
means that at least Russia is willing to recognizi
! rading on profit basis. Responsibility for gavernmen
ilways breeds conservatism.
Alaska Should Have Wider Publicity.
(Seattle Business Chronicle.)
Perhaps one of the best advertisements ever mad
if Alaska with a view of bringing home its real con
litions to the people of the United States was th
dinner of Alaskan products given at the recent Seattli
'(invention of newspaper men of the State of Wash
ington. When to the charm and surprise of the din
tier was added the presence of Governor Scott C
Bone to explain in greater detail tiie actualities o
Alaska, the value of the advertisement was at leas
doubled. It was a surprise to some that the Gov
ernor of Alaska in the middle of winter should b
able to leave his Territory and attend such an oc
casion. For the belief is entertained by far too man;
that Alaska is icebound throughout the winter am
that no port is accessible between early fall and lat
spring. Few understand that isothermal lines ar
such upon the Pacific Northwest Coast that all ports
with a single exception, that of Nome, are ice-fre
tiie year around. Juneau in particular, the Alask;
capital, has a climate not unsimilar to that of Puge
Sound.
Some errors as to the severity of the climate ap
ply almost equally to other Alaskan conditions. Tha
Alaska could of its own products supply bread iron
wheat of 11s own raidng, vegetables, meat and lisl
in like manner is- just ns true as that Juneau ha
a climate like unto lhat of Seattle, or Aberdeen o
Vancouver or Victoria. Blit it ,is not generally si
understood. Tiie greater the pity that should be th
case. Hence one of the several reasons that th
population of Alaska hardly exceeds 60,000 people
But, as Governc r Bone explained, Alaska lias a wealtl
of resource. Not only fish and gold but other metals
coal, timber, fur:-, awaiting development are to lie liui
where foolish conservation laws do not utterly forbid
Bringing those facts home to the newspaperm i
of Pacific Northwest will do good. All of those mci
and women who attend the Newspaper Instltut
will be able in future to treat of Alaska with mor
enlightenment, greater sympathy, and a more gen
cious appreciation ol' the needs of that Territory
Nor was this Alaskan gospel carried only to tin
men of Washington. For there were in attend
mice journalists of other states and also from Bri;
ieh Columbia.
But the publicity which is Alaska’s need shouh
go farther than this. it should embrace at leas
all of t li is North American continent and as fa
beyond ns is possible to be reached. In this rrspec
Governor Bone should prove of the greatest help. A
a newspaperman of life-long training lie understand
Hilly what is said and what Is not news. In a mod
eetly sincere speech given at the Alaska dinner Gov
ernor Bone promised he would do his best during hi
term of office to see that Alaska secured this publicity
Nothing tolls in publicity more than facts, re
Iterated lacts, published regularly and sequential]’
so that tho public may lie able to judge for itsel
ol tho output of coal, of copper, of lead, of furs

their growth. Influential business concerned in suol
industries will not what is bing done and present 1
this interest will create a demand for fuller knowi
edge. Then Alaska would be fully on tho busine
map. But Governor Bone cannot do tills by liimsel
whatever ills merits, and they are many, as a journal
ist of eminence and a statesman of ability, if thos
Alaskans immediately concerned will co-operate in i
business-like manner they will find such a man a
their Governor of tho greatest possible assistance
V. hat Alaska wants more than any one tiling is pub
licity. They could huvo as Governor no better man I
they will act with him.
Incorporated Families.
(New York Post.)
A Connecticut family is uaiil to be seeking incur
poraii n for the purpose of reducing tho income ta
paid by its members. As a corporation the famil
would pay a corporation tax on its tptal Incom
instead of an Income tax on its members' indtvidun
inccmer. This move opens up a range of poesibill
tics before which the Treasury Department mus
’and aghast. If a family can Incorporate and thu
escape the personal income tax, why cannot a cor
Iteration unincorporato and thus escape the corpo
•alien tax? If for purposes or taxation one cai
mways manage to bo something cIec than the oh
i1 ■ 1 named in the law, the taxation problem for tin
Individual is solved.
What interests us. however, about the Connect!
nit family In question is not the particular line o
Jciiin it is proposing but the fresh demons ratio!

i you believe all you hear, for some time. Betweet
iivorccs and flappers it is almost at the vaniehini
mint. And yet witli both the older and the youneei
Scncration against it, somehow the anachronistic
hing goes marching on. Unincorporated, it is *
crivate scandal. Incorporated, it is u public menace
