interest of Alaska by the last con
gress and what measures he intends
to introduce in the new session which
convenes in early December.
Budget May Be Slashed.
“We hope,” says Mr. Sutherland,
“that the present economy in gov
ernmental . expenditure program of
the Administration will not hit Al
aska too hard, but there is no doubt
that the Budget Bureau has its eye
on some of our Alaskan appropria
tions and plans to slash them. It
would be very unfortunate if the
mail service or the law administering
,service or in fact, any federal activ
ity should be impaired by the econ
omy program. We are a nation of
drivers and when a drive for any
given purpose is initiated it imme
ditely become a competitive race to
see which individual or organiza
tion can accomplish the most for
the cause.
Drive On Reduced Taxation
“We now have the Budget Bureau
representing the Administration com
peting with Congress in the general
drive to reduce taxation by cutting
appropriations. With the general
public this policy of reducing expen
ditures for the purpose of reducing
taxes is very popular but if the pro
cess of pruning appropriations re
sults. in impairmentof public serv
ice the drive will soon be reversed
and our efforts directed towards res
toration of the old quality of sen
ice.
No Change In Mai
“There is doubtless room for great
curtailment of federal expenditures
but I do not believe that a great
nation which has expanded by the
addition of territory is going to ap
ply a policy of economy to its out
lying possesions in disappropriation
to its application within the Contin
ental Union. I would say that my
most important work before the
next session will be to hold Alaskan
appropriations at their present fig
ures and particularly in the case of
roads, trails and railroads. Budget

Bureaus and members of Congress
will I believe be inclined to recog

the mail and other services at their
present standards but. they may be
disposed to try to economize on
road or railroad appropriations.
Should Present Views
“Some of the fishery regulations
that have been in force this season
are in my opinion quite inequitable
and I shall make an effort toward
their correction this winter. I shall
speak in detail on the fisheries ques
tion when I return to Seward. Fish
eries is a subject on which almost
every citizen believes he is quali
fied to speak. 1 have no sympathy
with the proposition that there is
too much criticism of the Admin
istration of our fisheries. It is the
right and privilege of every resi
dent. of the Territory to present his
views cn fishery and he should not
hesitate to do so. The resident Al
askan certainly is better acquaint
ed with the fisheries subject than
the summer tourists who feel that
they have a comprehensive knowl
edge of this most complex subject
by the time they have crossed Dixon
Entrance, northbound.
Policy Is Liberal
“On i no subject of oil permits \
can only repeat what I have so of
ten stated in the past, viz: that the
policy of the Secretary of the Inte
rior in his application of tin leas
ins act to Alaska is extrem ly lib
eral and as a result of this policy
I believe we are going to have all
sections where oil indications occur
thoroughly drilled. The Secretary
by this liberal policy has enabled
a large number of locators of small
means to hold on to their permits
by extension of the time in which
to commence drilling. There has
been no indications of monopoly jn
the Alaska oil fields although it is
quite evident that these fields can
be developed only by great and weal
thy companies. The immense sum
that has been expended in the Cold
Bay field by the Standard and Asso
ciated Oil companies without re
sults so far as the public knows,
shows us that only big capital can
drill for oil in this Territory, but
the Department of the Interior has
consistently provided opportunity for
citizens of small means to partici
pate in a small way in the benefits
of successful drilling operations by
the big capitalists.”
Asked regarding the published
statements of members of Congress
who visited Alaska this summer,
Mr. Sutherland -said that he would
not think of placing restrictions on
“Free” speech. That is one of the
blessed privileges guaranteed by our
constitution and if any individual de
sired to verbally tear up public util
ities he is at liberty to do so. Of
course the physical tearing up is an
other matter.
