While it is true there are reports
n Washington which cover Alaska
so thoroughly as to enable anyone
to gain intimate knowledge concern
ing past performances of the Terri
tory. and probable future perform
ances. the statements of the Secre
tary of the Interior, which were
made public this week in connection
with the submission of his annual
report to CongTess, would carry
much more weight were they based
on actual, first-hand knowledge of
the Northland and its resources and
handicaps.
The secretary attribute? Alaska's
undevelopment largely to too much
bureau rule and scattered authority.
Ar.d he amy be right. Alaskans will
admit that the present system is a
costly and cumbersome one. with
room for greater efficiency. But it
does not follow that any one de
partment of the Government could
take over the management of Alaska,
in addition to its other work, and
make a better job of it than the
several varieties of bureau? are do
ing at present. And there is the
danger, under the plan suggested by
the secretary, and put into concrete
form in the New bill, -that the re
sources of Alaska would fall into
the hands of private interests Such
a thing might not happen, but there
always would be the danger so long
as one-man or one-department rule
prevailed.
If the plan of Secretary Fall is
good, the suggestion of Represent
ative Curry, for the creation of a
development board, with headquart
ers in Alaska, is better and much
more acceptable to Alaskans—-by
about five thousand to one.
The secretary should come to
Alaska and study conditions for
himself before he tries to put any
thing big over in the way of reform
government. He should ascertain,
first hand, from Alaskans, just what
is wrong with the country. With
real knowledge of conditions, and
an honest desire to improve, them,
he could return to Washington with
reasonable assurance of being able
to accomplish something. He should
at least consult with Alaskans be
fore trying to turn them and their
resources over to some one depart
ment head to dispose of as might
suit his fancy. In any case, the sec
retary should come to Alaska

A recent issue of a Dallas news
paper has the followin t . say about
