About Bureau Administration

Editor Alaskan:—
I notice that the ‘Strollers
Weekly’ of Juneau very frankly
asks those engaged in the prac
tice of panning the Federal Bu
reaus, what they expect to gain
in so doing. They also point out
a very pertinent fact as to ap
propriations. There is a whole
lot of truth in what they say.
We cannot but admit that we
are getting a very equitable and
satisfactory administration from
many of our lesser Federal Bu
reaus, practically tax free.
You may be able to see the
logic of the argument they ad
vance; I admit that- I cannot.
If our citizenry v/ere all people
vailing to starve to death indus
trially and remain forever para
sites on the body politic, we
might have a greater interest in
Eureau appropriations.
I have very little doubt as to
your reaction to the criticism
and being that I, personally, ex

pect to do considerable panning I
of two of our worst offenders—
the Bureau of Fisheries and Bu
reau of Forestry—at every op
portunity I welcome the chance
to state my reasons for so doing.
I am perhaps a more zealous
advocate of the conservation of
A'aska’s fisheries than any em
ployee of the Bureau of Fisher
ies. I am a firm supporter of
| forestry practice, I recognize
| the infinite benefit to be derived
fiom the orderly harvesting of
our fisheries and our forests; yet
I, an American citizen living in
Alaska, with an intimate know
ledge of both our fisheries and
our forests and their possibilities
| as a basis from which to build
up towns, cities, industries, and
hemes for millions of loyal A
mericans, do decry and oppose
the policy of the directors of
those two Bureaus, for the good
of Alaska.
When the Commissioner of
Fisheries, either present or fu
ture, discharges the obligations
of his office, to the point where
the catching and packing of
salmon is an open field and no
favor—when all who have the
inclination, may participate in
the industry on an equal foot
ing—then and then only will I
support him.
When the Forest Service a ■
wakes to the fact that they are
the custodians of a trust impos
ed on them by the American
people twenty-seven years ago—
not to pass over our National
forests to the entire exploitation
of immense corporations and
prevent settlement thereon—
but rather to prevent the one
and encourage the other; when
they awake to the fact that they
have no right, other than the
light of might, to decree that
Alaska’s forested sections shall
remain a wilderness forever;
when they admit the right of
Alaska to a place in the sun and
the enjoyment of all of the di
versified industries that an in
dustrious people will wish to
undertake; and when they for
mulate and introduce policies to
this end, I as an Alaskan will
endorse them.
If there had been a more un
animous criticism of harmful
policies, by the press of Alaska,
such as has been the policy of
the ALASKAN in the past—if
more editors had the courage of
their convictions and used their
power; less in the manner of a
cat and dog fight between towns,
in jealous rivalry for favor from
the Bureaus to their respective
towns, and more in combating
unjust administrators and dis
criminatory regulations for the
whole, Alaska would be far ad
vanced from where she stands
today.
