JUNEAU WELCOMES HER NEIGHBORS.
Juneau today welcomes Senator and Mrs. Wesley
L. Jones, Con.are : man eenel Mrs. Lindley H. Hadley
an el Commissioner O'Malley eif the United States
Bureau of Fisheries who are guests here. Senator
Jones and Congrcu man IlmUcy represent In part the
Stale of Washington in the Congrsos or the) United
State . the former being a reside nt of Seattle and the
latter of Bellingham. Commissioner O’Malley, while
a native i f Vermont, has lived In the Wert for most
cl his years, and for a long time w-as a resident of
W< urn Washington. Therefore, these guests come
to us as near neighbors.
Senator Jonc. ; ml Congre man Hadley have been!
cot, ‘tent friends of Alaska. Both have served long
it. C< ngre,.s, where t hey have large influence on ac-'
count of tin ir out funding ability, their long service
and the high esteem In which they are held by their
f el lew legislator.-. Never ha: Alaska called upon
them for help that It has not been given, willingly!
and effectively.
Thf.-e famous legislators are just completing a
lout of Alaska during the course of which they have,
visited most of the Inhabited part of the Territory.!
They have come i:t contact with Alaskans In theirj
own home country, and have acquired a great fund,
of knowledge concerning the land and its people. 1
Necessarily it will add to their ability to help the
people of the North.
And Commissioner O'.Malley, who has devoted a'
lifetime to fish and fisheries, lias demonstrated time
and again that bis knowledge, ability and friend-,
chip belong to the best interests of tills Territory!
and it.- people and that he will execute the dytiesj
lof his office for their benefit as lie secs it.
Juneau i- glad to welcome those neighbors who)
have always felt that they were the servants of
Alaska as we ll as of tin- neighboring State of W'ash
inglcn and the country ut large, and to assure them1
if tlie gratitude which Juneauitcs feel for all that they
have done.
The people of tiiis city want Senator and Mrs. ,
Jones, Congressman and Mrs. Hadley and Commis-1
eloncr O’Malley to feel that they are among friends.
—borne folks- Just liko they feel when they are In
Scuttle, Bellingham, Yakima or Skagit County.
GOVERNMENT SHOULD ANNOUNCE
PRINCIPLE AT ONCE.
If the policy of Federal ownership of the natural
ret ounces, of Federal reservations and landlordism,
is to continue the Government should Immediately
and without rc ; rvntlou ^accept the principle that
it shall not a. its purpose to make profits from its!
ownci.hip, It should rely upon the development of,
the resources logits profits. The sooner the resources ,
of Alaska are developed the qiifiker will the Na
tional government and tile people of the Nution begin
to realize profit through them. Idle resources means i
wa te, not only waste of the resources which are
out of use but wasted opportunities lor the people of
the country. i
This it: no new principle. It is the principle1'
under which the country grew into the great Nation!!
that it is. The I'nited States gave the resources ofL
the soil tor lets than tlie cost of their administration
to tho c who would claim it. The result was quick j i
gtowtli to power and greatness. Large opportunities '
make large, self-reliant and resourceful men, and'
huge, reii-ri riant and resourceful men make oppor-!
tunitii - for tile multitude and a great country.
EASTERN THEORISTS MUDDYING THE
MATER.
It lr an old Baying that the 1 apart! cannot change
his rpott. Tlie circumstance that people of Alaska
indicated to President Harding and those who ac-'
companies! hint on itis trip to Alaska that tliey 1
v.jiilil he willing to accept and make the most of '
conservation. If It can he Worked out on a basis
that will invite rather than drive away large capital. ['
l.ar started many Eastern theorists and professional |
public opinion manufacturers to prating about the
intcre.'ts and the waste of the natural resources
at oilier limes and in other sections of the country.
lot of breath ha: been frittered first and last
by theoretic economists whose industrial activity lme
mostly consisted in talking and writing about those
who have done things. The timber in the country
wus not cut to make a holiday. The oil has not!
been garnered i r -port. None mine coal in id!"'
pastime. The utilization of the natural resources of'
the country ..-vetoped the greatest Nation and -uo-t i
piceperour people of which history makes record, c
There may have been waste, hut there is always
wane In dcvolopont and when people move rwifltV.
However, the waste was not comparable with tlie !
waote that would have followed if there had beeu *
less development and the people had moved less swiftly
Human energy and time, the most valuable possessions ,
of any people, have been used to excelent advantage c
In American development. The results prove this
That is conservation of the best sort. Tin; utillaatten
at .the time, energy and 'organlzThg ability It the s
people is the sort of conservation that makes for
progress, prosperity and happy communities.
With the lessening of the supply of the natural
resources they have become more valuable, and the
piotit that follows their conservation to their owners
and thoee who use them is the best security against
waste. The man who owns timber lands now finds
it profitable not to waste the timber and to permit
reforestation unless the lande are more valuable for
something else with the timber removed.
The talk about preventing the "interests" from
exploiting the resources and ‘'saving” them for the
people is the quintessence of buncombe. Natural
resources cannot be developed except through the
use of captial, and utilized capital, if not already
so, toon becomes, in tho eyes of the professional
reformer, a part and parcel of the “Interests." Re
source:', "saved" for the people are useless trash.
Resources are valuable to the people only when used.
The time when resources can be developed to the
best advantage of the people Is whenever there are
men and money ready for their development. If the
principle of conservation can be worked out in the
interest of the people it must be through the adop
tion of regulations that make the resources and their
development attractive to capital. They must be
held in such a way and subject to such regulations
as constitute a standing Invitation to those with or
ganizing, technical and financial ability to take them
and develop them.
That is exactly the program that Secretary Wal
lace and Chief Forester Greeley indicated that they
were endeavoring to work out, and that is why
Alaskans indicated to President Harding and the other
members of his Alaska party that they were ready to
cc operate with them along those lines.
President Harding’s Seattle speech, a "prelim
inary" Alaskan report, ho called it, must be con
sidered in the light of all the premises.
The Ketchikan Chronicle good ltaturedly boasts,
and with good reason, that Ketchikan pays more
money under the occupational license tax law than
any other town in Alaska, while Juneau ranks second.
Fortunately for Ketchikan there ure a half dtzefi
or bo canneries located within her municipal limits
whose payments are credited to that place.
President ('oolidge’s Political Creed.
(New York World.)
Presidrnt Coolidge has been In public life a man
or' few words. Upon occasion, however, he has com
pressed much meaning Into a paragraph, as when, in
his first inaugural as Governor of Massachusetts,
lie gave this creed of guidance for executive office:
Expect to be called a standpatter but
don't be a standpatter. Expect to be called a
demagogue but don't be a demagogue. Don't
hesitate to ge as revolutionary as science.
Don't hestitatc to be as reactionary as the
multiplication table. Don't expect to build
up tiie weak by pulling down the strong.
Don't hurry to legislate. Give administra
tion a chance to catch up with legislation.
As President, Mr. Coolidge will have an op- j
portunlty to apply his guiding rule in a wider field
at a time vexed with weighty problems and ominous
of world disaster. Caught In the grip of vast issues,
he may be impelled tc be "us revolutionary as
science.” "Reactionary as the multiplication table"
circumstances may never permit him to become In a
world changed so utterly In ton years that old
standards no longer exist. Conservative In the true
sense of the word a President must be—and to con
servatism a Vice President promoted by the death of
his chief is especially dedicated—but the conservation1
of principles and even institutions inay sometimes de-'
pend uppn bold action. This President Harding,
came (o see in the end; this President Coolidge has!
had, in the sessions of tho Cabinet, an opportunity
to observe for himself.
The Nation expects President Coolidge to be
neither a standpatter nor a demagogue. It expects
him to be President. To be truly President he must
be the leader of tho people and a driving power in
principle, in policy and, above all, In uction.
Sanitary Engineers.
(Cleveland Plain Dealer.)
There died in the East the other day a sanitary J
nglncer whose fame rested on his ccnnecti'jn with a
ij'stem of municipal water purification whim greatly
lecreased the morality from typhoid. Few knew his,
ume outside the circle of his personal acquaintance, j
1'ct his service to mankind was most important.
An engineer built the Panama Canal after many
ears of failure. Another engineer made its build(pg
'Ofsihle by first routing the Isthmian mosquito. An
11 her bored tho Hoosac tunnel, another erected the
CifTol tfvvcr and still another ran a railroad beneath
ho Hudson River. -But this particular engineer 1
ived life by helping to drive typhoid out of city
vuter.
We erect memorials to statesmen whose service
s political and to generals under whose direction 1
housunds of lives are lost. Why not occasionally •
tiise a monument to one—to some obscure engineer ’
f that he the case—whose specialty has been the <
laving of lives! An engineor who goes to tho mat
vlth the germ of typhoid, the skilled surgeon or ‘
lie trained physician who serves his generation by i
aving lives are among the best servants of mankind", i
