One of Alaska’s Great Needs
While views on Alaska as or-1
pressed In Seattle newspapers by I
various members of the Congressional I
delegation recently visiting the Ter-1
iiltory were almost as varied as the;
individuals presenting them, under
lying them all was apparent the sen
timent expressed hv Representative,
Charles I.. I'nderhili of Massncbn-!
setts, "More fluggenheims and I,ess :
fiovernment.'’ Centralized local self- ,
government was emphasized as the!
greatest need 'tf the Territory, ae-1
cording to the Post-Intelligencer.
Demand Prompt Attention
That paper’s account of the return i
of the party from Alaska and the I
views of some of its members follow:
Carrying wit It them the picture I
of a vast, potentially rich kingdom,
threatened by a blight, of “arrested j
development," five "United States t
Senators and twen{y-slx Congressmen
last night departed from Seattle for
their inland homes, after a two!
weeks’ inspection tour of Alaska.
The lawmakers carry also the
conviction as expressed yesterday by
•Senator Joseph T. Robinson. Arkan
sas, minority , leader: “Alaska’s
problems demand our prompt and
earnest consideration."
riasieally, they agree wuh the
torso statement of Congressman
Charles 1,. /i’nderhili of Massachu
setts: "What Alaska needs is more
j (luggetihelms and less government.”
Senator K. F. Ladd of North Da
jkota will tell the Congress in its
I next session that the United States
| should work out and adopt “an Al
i askan policy that can be followed
for the next twenty-five years.”
Statehood Question
Alaskans ape interested in llieir
opportunities for statehood. With Ills
previous information based on what
he had read and what he had heard.
Senator Robinson, twenty years In
Congress, yesterday spoke from first
hand knowledge on this point. lie
I said:
“The adventurers in large part
have abandoned Alaska, and the
sturdy stork of pioneers, who now
constitute its citizenship, impress
me as capable of exercising self
government in a much greater de
gree."
Senator A. A. Jones of New Mex
ico, declares 'that “there are too
many government departments and
bureaus. Alaska’s government should
j lie closer to home.
“It would be advisable to modify
'the mineral land laws as applied to
Alaska, so there wronld be greater
inducement for capital to go in and
develop the mines,” Senator Jones
said. i «
Senator Ladd also favored such a
commission, “made np largely of Alas
kan people.” “No matter how good
its intentions, the government can
not rule the Territory intelligently
when it is so far away,” he de
clared.
Representative Underhill said: “I'd
thrown Alaska wide open, excepting
its fisheries. The Territory should
he sold to the American people. Am
bition and Intttiative, if given the
fruits of their labors, without strings,
will take a chance.”
Alaska cannot go it alone, but
home rule that will mean a slashing
of red-tape, lopping off several of Its
numerous bureaus, liberalization of
government regulations which now
j throttle tile Territory and perhaps
| election of their governor ’ by the
people, is held necessary and almost!
certain of future enactment, mem
bers of the party declared last night.
Exploitation Needless
"Alaska's resources eon be devel
oped without shamelessly exploiting
them. We have too long regarded
the Territory as only a great na
tional storehouse, to bo kept un
touched. She might spoil If we keep
her untouched too long," said Rep
resentative Cyrenus Cole, Iowa, who
declared he reflected the sentiment
of his colleagues.
“Why, ther4 is enough material
in the coastal forests of Alaska to
supply half the newspapers in the
United States with print paper for
ever, with cargfnl selection and re-'
forestation,’’ Mr. Cole said. He Is a
veteran newspaper man and publish-!
er. “And thwe is only one pulp j
j mill in the tjiiole Territory,” the
Cpngressman added.
As for saving these trees for pos
terity. the publisher pointed out, "half:
of those now standing would rot i
before our grandchildren could get!
around to using them."
wouiu compel i rips
There should he u law compelling
every member of Congress to make1
at least one trip of investigation j
into Alaska, in the opinion of Rep-j
resentative C. 13. Timberlake, of
Colorado, member of the House Ways
anil Meaus Committee. Five Sena
tors and twenty-six Congressmen
formed the party that returned from
the Territory.
“Alaska will have thirty-one well
informed friends in the next Congres.i
and her prospects for greatness
would t>e assured if every member
had been on this tour," Mr. Timber
lake declared. “The problem that
now confronts us is how to liberalize
the government regulations to en
courage capital, and at the same time
to prevent exploitation.” /
The Congressmen rode tha govern
ment railway In a special train com
posed entirely of Pullmans from
Seward to Fairbanks, inspecting the
mines and mineral deposits on the
way. The last four miles Into Fair
banks had not been completed, but
the entire line, 467 ihlles In length,
will be laid by the time President
Hunting visits tin' Territory, the'sol
oitm wore informed.
Urge Road Building
The c onstriu tion of good roads I
that will feed into tie- railroad from
Interior Alaska was recommended
by ti>e visiting delegation.
The Congressional party visited
Seward, Fuiihjtnks. Cprdota, Haines,
Skagway and .Inncati, and in every
town each Congressman found some
body from his home stale, according!
to Mr. Tiniborlake. And in every
town there was also a Chamber of
Commerce.
Land of Surprises
Those Congressmen and their wives
who expected to frieze to death in
Alaska wore happily disappointed.
Congressman Cole remarked last
night. “We found that the climate
exactly resemhfes that or Minnesota
and North Dakota. In Fairbanks we
banqueted tinder the midnight sun,
and nobody thought it trange at all."
Alaska will never become a great
agricultural state, according to the
Congressman from Iowa, although
thf visitors were impressed with the
government's agricultural si liool in
Fairbanks. |
"The Territory will raise enough i
cereals and vegetables to supply!
her needs, but her future is in*
mining. I hate to say that too. forj
I saw Iowa cows and pigs in tne.
Territory, and they get along fin1
there.”
ALASKANS BEST
CUSTOMERS FOR
TREASURY DEPT.
Rank First in Per Capita In
vestment in U. S. Sav
ings Certificates.
Alaska ranks- flrsr of nil tlie politi
cal divisions of tho United States in
the per capita of investment In
Treasury Savings certificates, accord
ing to Theodore Hardee, Director of
Government. Savings Organization in
the Twelfth Federal Reserve Dis
trict, who, with Mrs. Hardee, was
in .1 nneau yesterday evening while
tlie Princess Alice was in port. The
Twelfth Reserve District ranks third
in savings in the United States, the
Kansas City District being first and
the Cleveland district toco ml.
Last year there were $150,000,000
inverted by tlie American people in
Treasury Savings certificates. It is
the purpose to make the investments
$250,000,000 this year, if possible,
and the progress made I litis far this
year justifies the belief that it will
be made, according to Mr. TIardee.
Tlie first five moil Ills of the year
reached a total of $110,000,001), lie'
said.
“The Twelfth District with head-,
quarters at San Francisco, is doing
her part,” said Mr. Hardee. “Our
quota, based in bunk resources, was
$17,000,000 for the year, and we
sold $8,350,000 during tlie first Hve^
months. There is no doubt that we
shall pass our allotment.
‘ Last year Alaska invested $5.50,
per capita in Treasury Savings cer
tificates, and tho next highest politi
cal division was only $4.50.”
Want to Place $1,000,000,000.
“It is the desire of the Treasury
Department," said Mr. (Hardee, "to
have not loss than $1,000,000,000
invested in Troasury Savings certifi
cates. It is regarded as tho best
form of National debt for it is
spread out among so many people.
Every dollar invested in that wav
leesens the need for the Treasury
Department 1n making short time
loans and tints withdrawing money
front the banks that could be used
for industrial development.”
Mr. and Mrs. Hardee will visit
Skagway while the Princess Alice is
in port there, and return on the
same vessel. While in Juneau ho
visited with Gov. Scolt C. Bone and
had an interview with Postmaster
Z- M. Bradford. Tho Postmasters
are the agents of the Treasury Sav
ings Organization and sell tlie certi
ficates to the people.
