MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Associated Press is exclusively entitled to the use for re-pubii
eatioi: of all news dispatches credited to it or not otherwise credited in
this paper aad also all the local news published herein.
The News is in accord with the
\'tw expressed by He Alaska Daily
Empire, of Juneau, that here is j
need of changing the date of the
Territorial primary election. Occur-:
ring:, as it does, in the month of
April, it usually finds Congress n
session, which means that Alaska's
delegate, should he desire re-elec
tion, must leave the national cap
ital at a busy time, for a period of
several weeks, to look after his cam
paign. Practically all of the dele-j
gates Alaska has had since the adop
tion of the primary law hare done'
this, and it is safe to assume they j
will continue to do so. They must
do it or turn Their campaign affair?
over to their friends and support
ers.
The people of Alaska are paying
for service at Washington—contin
uous service while Congress is in:
session—and they should not matte
it necessary for their delegate to
campaign in Alaska at a time when
his presence may be .needed at the
seat of government.
There is nothing surprising in the
attempt that is being made a: W ssh
ington to prevent the ftdministra-'
tration from putting the harem of,1
engraving on an efficient basts. We
have had examples of the 'me kind!
of interference right here in Alaska
when honest efforts we~e maae to
rid the territory of inefficient ser-;
vants. Too often have Washington ,
influences sent men to Alaska to fill
positions of responsibility which they
were incapable of filling efficiently,
and those same influence? have kept
them on the payroll in .-.pile of
honest effort to remove them. When
the pull is strong enough, efficiency
does not count for much.
That probably is the way it i?
with the bureau of engraving, only
it happens that the demand for
efficiency, in that case, has the whip
hand. Too many of those bureau
autocrats, after years of undisputed
reign, get the notion that they arc
not required to give value received
for the fat salaries they draw. And
their influential friends in Congress
too frequently give encouragement
to that belief.
While The News and most Alas
kans are ready to agree that there
is too much conflict of authority
among the federal agencies having
control over the Territory, there
are many oldtimers who would like
to know what is meant by a!’, this
talk about “unlocking the resources
of the Territory.” Alaskans realize
that there is need of centralization
and co-ordination of authority, but
why such a panic to turn the coun
try over to the “big money” men?
Barring the inconvenience and de
lay of dealing with inefficient and
power-coveting bureau upstarts, the
people of Alaska have no serious
complaint to make against the pro
tection given the natural resources
of the Territory. Some of the re
strictions, it may be true, are an
noying and should receive attention,
but that does not appear to be an
excuse for rushing to the other ex
treme of unrestricted exploitation.
What is there now to prevent
the utilization Alaska forests for the
manufacture of airplanes, pulp, pa
per and a thousand other uses? On
ly the requirement of the payment
of a fair price for stumpage and the
observance of such regulations as
will insure a natural replenishment
of timber cut. Users of timber in
other parts of the United States
mast pay for what they use. Why
not in Alaska?
Anyone, be he rich or poor, car
have a mineral claim in Alaska. 01
a score of them, merely for th<
staking. The property may be work
ed, or sold -or abandoned at will
There are hundreds of thousands o.
square miles of land open to loca
tion and there is nothing in the ex
isting laws and regulations to pre
vent Capital from acquiring tn<
whole area for purposes of mining
The oil lands of the Territor
are “conserved”, but any one ma;
have a tract of the land for tb
asking, almost, and upon consider
ation that a certain amount of de
velopment work will be done withii
VOTE FOR
JAMES L. GALEN
FOR
Delegate to Congress
IN
REPUBLICAN PRIMARY
APRIL 25th, 1922
In the course of a three column paid article, appearing in the
News-Miner of March 30, prepared and signed by him, M. O. P.
Gaustad, Dan Sutherland's personal and political representative, in
the Fourth division, says:
“Some don't like his (Sutherland’s) stand upon the administra
tion measure known as the ‘New Bill*. I am not familiar with the
provisions of this bill but 1 am more willing to take the judgment
of Dan Sutherland upon its effect upon Alaska and Alaskans than
any other person I know and the fact that he is favoring the meas
ure and that Secretary Fall is to administer the affairs of the Ter*
ritory under its provisions is assurance enough that there is nothing
very dangerous or detrimental in it. AT LEAST IT WILL START
SOMETHING."
Mr. Gaustad is right. IT HAS STARTED SOMETHING that
will not stop until Mr. Sutherland is thoroughly rebuked at the
polls for this betrayal of his constituents.
If Mr. Gaustad will familiarize himself with Section Three of
the New Bill, that authorizes Mr. Fall to lease the Alaska Railroad
to private interests, he will know why Dan Sutherland's support of
this bill "HAS STARTED SOMETHING." He ought to know that
real Alaskans will not stand for their delegate supporting such a
measure or attempting to foist a one-man rule upon this Territory.

! a given time, and tnat a small roy
alty he paid upon producing wells.
The News is not prepared to say
the oil land regulations are alto
! gether satisfactory, but the fact
I that nearly a thousand permits have
I been issued by the Government is
j indication that there is no immed
| iate need of worry about develop
, ment.
The coal lands are equally simple
; of acquisition and there is no limit
' to vie amount of coal that may be
produced. Restrictions there are, it
is true, but they are not retarding
i development.
Conservation has not nert the
fisheries of the Territory and there
has been no conservation r f agri
cultural lands. In fact, all of the
resources of the Territory are open
to entry and Capita. not at all
restricted in its operations, beyond
! observation of such regulation' as
. are intended to safeguard in
| terests of Alaska.
