REFORM HOPE
A shake-up in Washington, D. C.,
would do more than anything else to
expedite Alaska’s development.
It will take a general shake-up to
break the grip of various bureaus on
Alaskan affairs and to promote that
unity of control, through a commission
domiciled in the territory, which
Franklin K. Lane has proposed.
A government department never
yields up one iota of its authority ex
cept under the most extreme circum
stances.
Reform, whenever it comes, must
emanate from congress, and must take
the form of drastic legislation merging
all the diverse and presently separated
Alaska bureaus.
Perhaps the discovery that the gov
ernment has built a railroad but made
no provision to assure it traffic may
be the big thing needed to inaugurate
the shake-up.
The fact that the business is not
there, although the natural resources
of the territory should guarantee the
line enough traffic to make operation
profitable, is certain ultimately * to
make a deep impression on the con
gressional mind.
The shake-up, whether due to this
or other causes, can not come too
soon.
Alaska today is laboring under the
“dead hand” of Washington bureau
cracy.
Tt will get nowhere until federal ad
ministration is concentrated and
brought to the territory.
