confuses the issue and prevents ac
tion.
Officially I have said and repeat:
“Alaska requires conservation, favors
it and welcomes it, and gives stead
fast support to every practical safe
guard, existent or proposed, neces
sary to prevent reckless exploitation
in any direction in the development
of the territory. A concentration of
authority and responsibility—a busi
nesslike organisation of Alaska’s af
fairs, in lieu of divided authority and
responsibility—certainly would make
for administrative efficiency and has
ten the safe solution of territorial
problems. That government thru
bureaus is good for any land or any
community is too untenable for sober
discussion. Equally so is the thot
that conservation in Alaska is de
pedent upon such a system, o* that
the abrogation of bureaucracy would
render the protection of the resources
any less secure.”

conclusion of the tour in 1923, stat
j ed in a memorandum to the Presi
dent that hi3 impression of Alaska
seemed to support the following con
clusions:
“The administration of go/ernment
activities is a one-man job.
“Either the Department of the Infe
rior of the Department of Commerce
should be charged with Alaska; au
thorized to appoint an additional as
sistant secretary to be governor of
Alaska.
“The governor should then con
struct his bureau on the same lines
as those serving in the departments
at Washington and select its person
nel from government employes in
the different departments now resi
dent in Alaska, each department to
be reached thru one of them.
“All government service for Alaska
should be done in Alaska that can
be done there.”
The memorandum further stated
that the Secretary contemplated rec
ommending the transfer of the rein
deer industry from the Bureau of Ed
ucation of the native Alaskans—In
dians Eskimos—from the Bureau of
Education to the territory, and the
discontinuance of the Bureau of Ed
ucation a3 a responsibility of the In
terior Department. He expressed
the opinion that the road work car
ried on in the territory under appro
priations charged to the military bud
get “might properly be placed under
the operation of the Agricultural De
partment in connection with the
road building—Bureau of Public
Roads—in the national forests of Al
aska,” evidently having in mind the
extension of the Federal Aid Act to
Alaska.
These and other tentative recom
mendations received consideration,
no doubt, but President Harding in
his speech, in which he extolled Alas
ka and paid high tribute to its citi
zenship, while barely touching upon
the administrative system, gave un
qualified approval to existent poli
cies of conservation, which was hail
ed as a vindication and indorsement
of those opposing any change of au
thority or control.
Bureaucracy, therefore, seems firm
ly intrenched until such time as Con
gress shall overhaul, coordinate, sim
plify and systematize all departments
of the Government, incidentally in
cluding Alaska.
In proclaiming American Forest
Week this year, President Coolidge
said: “Our forests ought to be put
to work and kept at work. I do not
■minimize the obstacles that have to
be met, nor the difficulty of chang
ing old ideas and practices. We
must all put our hands to this com
mon task. It is not enough that
the Federal, state, and local govern
ments take the lead. There must be
a change in our national attitude.
Our industries, our landowners, our
farmers, all our citizens must learn
to treat our forests as crops, to be
used, but also to be renewed. We
must learn to tend our woodlands
as carefully as we tend our farms.”
This applies directly to Alaska,
where the forests have not been “put
to work and kept at work.” Harves
tration is an essential factor in con
servation. The Forest Service is
quite alive to the fact, of course.
But wood-pulp and paper projects
have not eventuated and the wood
land crops of the North are still un
cut and await a market.
pivided Jurisdiction.
Of the three branches of the Gov
ernment exercising large authority
in Alaska—the Interior Department,
with jurisdiction over mining, the mil
lions of acres of unreserved land, an
infinitesimal fraction of which only
has been surveyed, the education and
care of natives as wards of the na
tion, and the operation of the Alaska
Railroad; Commerce, with control of
the fisheries, the now paramount and
most productive industry, and the
coast and geodetic work; and Agricul
ture, with authority over 20,000,000
acres of forest reserves, the building
of roads therein and adjacent there
to, the supervision of game and fur
bearing animals, and the mainten
ance of agricultural experiment sta
tions—the Interior Department is the
least dominant. Periodically under
fire, it not only has been unable to
extend its powers, but holds those
It possesses with difficulty. Alaska
has long been its chief trouble, and
a willingness, therefore, to permit
Commerce to be charged with Alas
ka, as shown by the memorandum
quoted, and the expressed desire to
