The Time’s Want Ads Bring: Results |
Governor Strong, in his annual re
port, deals with facts that ring true
in his presentation of the policy per
sued by the government in retarding
the development of the resources of
Alaska. He says:
Conservation, which is defined as
the act of preserving, maintaining,
supporting, or protecting, is no doubt
sound in principle. Had the United
States at the beginning of its exis
tence as a nation adopted the policy
of conservation, so far as its natural
resources are concerned, there would
not have been the vast development
that has been witnessed. But con
' servation. while it has preserved coal,
oil, and timber, has largely estopped
development along various lines. The
coal lands of Alaska were reserved
by erecutive order in 1906 and the oil
lands some years later, and there has!
been no general development of eith-|
er coal or oil resources. Coal is*
mined today only on a small scale*
and oil development is at a standstill.*
Even under government control, if
the lands could be leased on reason ]
able terms (which is not the case),!
immediate and comprehensive1
development would follow.
T he need of coal such as is found
in Alaska is apparent all over the Pa
cific coast. Yet the production is
limited and confined to but one sec-]
tion of the Territory. The same is
true of oil; and it is submitted that
until more favorable laws and regu
lations are enacted and promulgated
there will be but sporadice develop-*
ment of these resources. There is*
I
no doubt that the coal areas of Alas-!
ka are capable of supplying suffi-j
cient quantities of coal for all domes-1
tic and industrial purposes of the Pa-j
cific coast regions, and if the oil lands
of the Territory could be properly
developed they would largely add to!
fVc supply of gasoline, the demand
for which is constantly increasing,
while the visible supply is rapidly de-i
creasing.
What has been said of the coal and
oil lands applies, but not with the
same force, to the timber and water
power. Alaska possesses within its
borders a number of the finest water
powers to be found on the Pacific
coast, only a few of which have ever
been utilized in any way. There are
billions of feet of timber suitable only
for wood-pulp purposes. Yet neither
the pulp timber nor the unharnessed
water powers may be used because
existing laws are neither inadequate!
or are such as will not permit the in
vestment of the necessary capital re- '
q ulred for development and manu
facturing purposes. And yet the
world over there Is a shortage of pa-j
per and prices have soared skyward
during recent years. These are thej
cold facts of the situation, and their!
presentation should be such as to'
command the attention of the feder-'
al government to the end that this
distressful state of affairs be reme-!
died as speedily as possible, and that!
these resources, now going to wastej
be utilized for the benefit of the pres
ent generation, due care being taken,
of course, that the title to the water
powers be retained in the govern
ment. The terms granted to intend
ing investors of capital for the es
tablishment of these enterprises
should be liberal enough to guaran
tee a substantial return for the mon
ey invested. A hidehound, narrow, |
contracted, illiberal policy ln connec
tion with these resources of Alaska
will defer development indefinitely.
