JONES FOR ALASKA
Senator Wesley L. Jones
came out flat-footedly re
cently in Seattle in a declara
tion supporting S e n a t o i
Harding's policy of divorc
ing Alaska from long-range
Washington government anc
centralizing power for the
development of Northern re
sources. according to the
Seattle Alaska Dispatch.
The senator is strongly in
favor of the plan to seled
a board of resident Alaskans
to administer public land af
fairs. The declaration of the
senator was made at a din
ner given by the Seattle
Chamber of Commerce.
“The development of the
territory means as much to
Washington." Senator Jones
declared, “as it does to any
portion of this state. I con
sider myself senator from
Alaska as well as senator
from the state of Washing
ton.”
The Government railroad
will be expected to be aorofit
able enterprise, he nointed
out and explained that the
return on the investment
would come indirectly to the
Government through general
development of the region it
will serve.
"1 favor making induce
ments to Alaskan coloniza
tion greater than have ever
been made before." he said.
“I favor doing something in
Alaska, even doing the
wrong thing to doing no
thing at all.' This Western
country developed marvel
ously because wonderful in
ducements were offered the
individual settler and com
binations of capital. There
** ouiut » aaic, dunic ca
travagance, even some mon
opolies created, but 'we got
somewhere. If we keep the
padlock on Alaska's wealth
we may expect nothing from
the territory that we are not
getting now.”
Departmental jealousy, de
partments of the Govern
ment existing* for theic own
sakes rather than for the up
building of the country, was
assigned as another power
ful factor of hindrance to
the territory
“I would take Alaska from
the hands of the departments
and place it under a board
constituted of men- of high
character and vision and
clothed with broad discre
tionary power, and tell them
to go ahead. 1 would expect
mistakes to be made, but I
would get people into the
territory and develop it for
the benefit of the whole na
tion.-Congress is now more
in the mocd to do something
for Alaska than ever before,
due to a great extent to the
effective work of the Seattle
Chamber of Commerce."
