WANTS RESTRICTIONS LIFTEC
Governor Riggs never misses an op
portunity to speak in favor of lifting
restrictions against Alaska develop
ment. In his annual report this yeai
he urges the abolition of the national
forests and the restoration of the lands
tied up in them to the public domain.
Discussing this -subject, Governor
Riggs says:
“There are two great national for
ests in Alaska—the Chugach, compris
ing 5,417,852 acres, and the Tongass,
comprising 15,449,717 acres. A cor
poration which has made extensive
study of the forest possibilities ad
vises that not more than 10 or 15 per
cent of the Tongass forest is tim
bered. On May 2 and August 16, 1918,
199,680 acres were temporarily with
drawn from the public domain near
Lituya Bay under the fiction of being
needed for airplane spruce. An officer
in the Washington office of the forest
service advises me that this with
drawal is to be made permanent.
“I do not believe in national forests
for Alaska. The administration is not
conducive to development. It is true
that a certain ainount of money is ex
pended in roads and in co-cperative
arrangements for roads, but if the
same provisions could be rpade to
cover public lands, the whole country
would be better off. Those interested
in the possible manufacture of pulp
tell me that the industry would have
undoubtedly been established in
Alaska if definite terms covering a pe
riod of years could have been ar
ranged for, and if the water powers
. were not subject to a lease revocable
at any time. It is hard to gain the con
fidence of capital when its very exist
ence lies within the changeable whims
of a departmental executive. I be
lieve the present officials to be in
earnest and efficient, and I do not crit
icize the individuals, for whom I have
a sincere regard. Their mistakes are
becoming less every year, but unless
law is to reign instead of regulation,
a change of administration might place
a fanatic in charge who, by a stroke
of the pen. could easily again bring
about the distressing conditions ac
companying the withdrawals of 19u6.
“In my last annual report I suggest
ed that there is no function performed
by the forest service which could not
be performed by the general land of
fice. This suggestion still holds good
with the exception of road construc
tion; but I believe that the territory
would be better off if all the forests
within Alaska were to be restored to
the public domain and made free to all
settlement and industry. The benefit
to be derived from an increased popu
lation would offset the sop of moneys
spent ih the construction and mainte
nance of roads within forests. ' The
forestry lfitinciple involved is contrary
to our traditional system of govern
ment and is setting up a vast feudal
domain to be administered for good or
evil according to the will of the.lord
for the time being.”
