PRESIDENT HOOVER FOR STATE RIGHTS. A drastic change in governmental policy in deal- jng with much of the great national domain in the West is contemplated by President Hoover: It em- bodies transferring to the States about 200,000,000 or more acres of public lands and restricting the present activities of the Federal Relations Service with a view to having the individual States take water rights over important irrigation and other is all that is needed to make the needed road con-; i ¢ exercis Federal Govern- [nection. | functions now exercised by the Fe A “The lure of a trip over such a highway,” said | ment. Mr. MacDonald, “through this wildly beautiful, Fundamentally, the letter of the President is a strong States' Rights document. It holds that indi- vidual States are better able than the Federal Gov- ernment to administer activities within their bound- aries now exercised by the central authorities at Washington. The President’s plan was set forth in a letter to the Governors of the Public Lands States who met in conference at Salt Lake City August 26. The letter indicates hostility to the growth of Federal bureaucr: The President said in his letter that in order that he might be advised intelligently he purposed to appoint a commission of nine or ten members, five of whom should be chosen from leading citi- zens of Public Lands States, and he asked the Governors to suggest names for this body.

The proposed international highway that would connect Seattle with Fairbanks, Alaska, and make it ible to motor there from Florida on good roads a project that is awakening wide interest in Alaska, according to word from that Territory. As Florida and California constitute the Winter playgrounds of America, Alaska, with its twenty- four-hour-long Summer days, scenery and game re- sources, may ultimately become the Summer play- ground of the nation, if the plans of the many in the con- struction of this new highway are carried out. «According to Donald McDonald, Locating En- Vice-President of the International Highway As- sociation of Fairbanks, which has been formed toi speed the development of the project, the proposed highway is so vital to the future of Alaska and essential to the development of a stable and perm- anent population that the association is determined to use every resource in order that the construction be initiated within the next three years. i Mr. McDonald, who is a brother of Mrs. F. M. White of 741 Fifth Avenue, this city, recently gave | an imaginary automobile tour over the proposed highway from Seattle to Fairbanws, a stretch of ! 2,000 miles, and a map of the route which he made appeared in an issue of The Seward Daily primitive country, cannot be equaled any place in; the civilized world.

Moreover, we must seek every opportunity to retard the expansion of Federal bureaucracy and to place our communities in control of their own destinies. President Hoover's statement of his position re- garding the surrender to the separate States in which they occur of 200,000,000 acres of public domain follows a similar statement made not long since by Secretary of the Interior Wilbur. It is believed that the reiteration of Secretary Wilbur's position by the President is a clear indication that the re- action from the Secretary’s pronouncement has been satisfactory to the Chief Executive. There will be rejoicing throughout the West eand wherever State Rights sentiment is strong because the President has definitely placed himself with those who believe in local self-government and against bureaucracy. It is thought that the Presi- dent's letter will rather sharply mark the beginning of an important change in things. It will mean that henceforth more and more powers now exer- cised by the Federal Government will be returned to the States where it rested in the beginning. The Empire finds it easy to enthuse over this evidence that President Hoover is not only a West- ern President but that he has rather clear ideas of the needs for returning government to the people where it must lie if this Union is to endure and progress along the lines the Fathers meant that it should. Hurrah for Hoover! BOOTLEGGERS IN DRY TERRITORY. Bootlegging has become one of the great Ameri- can industries and its ramifications extend through- out the length and breadth of the land. It makes mo difference to its powerful members whether the town in which it operates is dry or wet in senti- ment. In fact, it sometimes seems to be more active in the dry towns. For instance, Los Angeles is a dry town by such a large majority that it has been able to keep California dry in most recent elec- tions. Yet the other day it was disclosed that more than three score of the law enforcement of- ficers in that town were in the pay of bootleggers on Lake Atlin, one of the principle sources of the | Yukon. After reaching Lake Kluane, in its moun- | tain setting, the route would lie through trailless country to the head of the Tanana and the Alaska- | Canadian boundary line. Following the Tanana through the heart of Al- aska, the tourist would connect once more with a motor traveled way, the Richardson Highway, and | along this road to Fairbanks, in its green setting of cultivated fields, the terminus of the Alaska Railroad, 2,000 miles from Seattle. Mr. MacDonald expressed the view that con- struction of roads for motor travel from the| arterial highway to the coastal towns and interior of Alaska would naturally follow. He said the pro- posd route already has been incorporated in the construction program of British Columbia. About 800 miles of road, from Vancouver to a point north of Hazelton, already has been constructed. The proposed highway, he said, has been en- dorsed by all the Chambers of Commerce of the Alaska towns, the Seattle Chamber of Commerce and the British Columbia Board of Trade. Major | Malcolm C. Elliott, President of the Alaska Road Commission, has given his approval. A _memonal. requesting that Congress appoint n} commission to confer with the Canadian Govern- | ment to obtain international cooperation was unani- | mously passed by both houses of the Alaska Leg- Islature, as was a bill appropriating $1,500 for pub- | licity purposes. The slogan of the International Highway Asso- ciation is, “Seven million dollars purchased Alaska from Russia; seven million more will make Alaska one of the United States.” — o Extension of credit facilities to cooperative or- ganizations by the Federal Farm Board is not ex- pected to be carried to the point of financing the cooperation program of Democrats and Progres- sive Republicans in the new session of Congress.— (New York World.)
