ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION LOG EXPORT ISSUE CROPS OUT AGAIN. The agitation to remove Forest Service -estric- tions against exporatation of logs from Southeast Alaska which was launched here last year and | failed to attain any considerable notice was resur- | rected again this week in the Legislature when Rep- resentative Foster of the Third Division introduced a memorial in the House criticising the policy of the Alaska Forest Service organization and calling upon the Secretary of Agriculture to take action to set aside this policy. This is an old question to the people of Southeast Alaska. The pros and cons have been argued on several occasions, the latest of which was but a few weeks prior to the convening of the current legislative session. cerned by upholding the Forest Service. Mr. Foster, of course, the whole situation as are persons living in the Panhandle where the timber forms one of our greatest resources, and at this time the most at- tractive inducement for the investment of outside capital in the creation of a new industry. It was not to be expected that he should have a detailed knowledge of local conditions which led to the estab- | lishment of the policy at issue, nor of the argu- ments for and against it. His many duties in the Legislature, where he has one of the most important as well as most difficult tasks as Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, naturally have not left him time to investigate the matter personally. are confident had he been able to do so, he would not have consented to sponsor such legislation. It is true, as he recites, Alaska hias a great supply of timber, largely hemlock and spruce, with the former species predominating. But that supply is not unlimited. Practical logging operators who have had years of experience in this field are a unit in upholding the Forest Service in this matter. They are authority for the statement that all of the present known commercial stands of spruce, that is areas which can be logged profitably under presen\‘.‘ conditions, would be exhausted in less than 10 years if the restriction against exportation of logs were lifted. Of course, there would still be spruce for logging, but it would consist of chances not cur- rently capable of being produced commercially, and which to log would entail materially higher costs than the sawmills can at this time afford to pay. The restriction against export of this species of timber is designed to protect local industry and to perpetuate it. There can be no reasonable objection to such a policy. As to the export of both spruce and hemlock there is another and equally important objection. The Southeast Alaska forests constitute an almost It has| been settled satisfactorily to most of those con- | is not as familiar with we ' !mav,chless reservoir of supplies for the manufacture |of wood pulp and newsprint. Already large capital hs interested in the exploitation on a sound and lsubstantxa] plane of this resource. Only market conditions, the Legislature has been assured by a Ireprcsematwe of that capital, are now delaying | initial construction of large capacity plants. They are coming here because of the availability of the supply and the cheapness with which it can be utilized. If we are to let it be cut down for exportation to mills already in existence then there is no inducement we can offer to others to come here and establlish new mills. Export of the raw materials would, we are confident, delay immeasur- ably if not prevent entirely the establishment of a local pulp and paper manufacturing industry. These are opinions that are held by most re- sponsible individuals, firms and officials familiar with the situation. Mr. Foster, too, if he had time to give serious study to the matter, very probably would be in agreement with them. And such a memorial as he has introduced should be given careful consideration before the Legislature uakes any definite affirmative action on it. | The Associated Press mates t(hat Congress and State Legislatures this year have put 14,000 new laws on the statute books of the country. Out of that number there must be at least one half of them that provide new ways of making criminals. !Only in a country fundamentally sound and law- abiding could a majority of its citizens keep out' of the jails and penitentiaries under such circum- stances. | Federal authorities announce with pride and joy the arrest of members of the “world’s largest :llicit liquor ring” operating in New Orleans. While this !is altogether commendable enforcement work, ox- | perience throughout the nation tends to show it s | \worthless as a curb to bootlegging as a whole. As fast as one gang is apprehended two others take its place. When the Government undertakes to prove that the wine-grape juice makers are putting out a product with an intent for it to become intoxicat- ing at some future time, it can readily be seen that the Prohibition forces in the saddle are having a difficult time keeping their seat. | Now that the baseball season is in full swing, there is hope that unemployment will not be so disturbing a factor. ! A Protest. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) The American College of Physicians, which just has concluded its meeting at Baltimore, registered {age and the condition THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, THURSDAY, APRIL 16, 1931 IART EXHIBIT AWARDS AND RULES GIVEN FOR CLEAN-UP |Council Rewinded ‘of Un- healthy Condition of One Section of City Regulations governing the Com- {munity Clean-up Contest, which | began yesterday and which will continue until September 1, were announced by Secretary G. H. Walmsley of the Juneau Chamber of Commerce at the noon luncheon today of the organization. The Chamber has received the assur- jance that it will have the cooper- ation of the American Legion. In connecticn with Clean-up ac- \tivities, the Civic Improvement Committee of the Chamber will be asked by its executive board to confer with the City Council con- cerning the unhealthy -condition under buildings bounded by Fer- ry Way, Shattuck Way and Front Street. This area being bounded by filled streets, thcre is no drain- is steadily getting worse. “We understand,” declared the Chamber’s executive board, the City has a plan to correct this, so the idea of the Chamber is mere- ly to call it to the attention of City officials again and offer to assist, if possible.” Prizes and Rules Prizes and rules for the “Clean- up Contest follow: The contest is open to anyone. First prize, $1C; second prize, $8; third prize, $5, and fourth prize, $2 for lot or yard showing greatest improvement during the summer. The Civic Improvement Commit- tee will conduct the contest andl appoint judges. There must be at least eight en-] | trants. The improvement may consist of clearing away rubbish, razing old buildings, fences, or clearing away debri: repairing old buildings or fences; beautifying by planting flowers, trees or shrubs. its protest against Federal and State law limiting the rights of physicians to prescribe drugs and reme- | dial measures. In other words, they deny to Con- | gress the assumed right to interfere with the judgment, privileges and powers of an M. D. These men of science resent the presumptions | of Congress. They declare by resolution that Con- gress has not the right to penalize them for acting | in harmony with their own judgment as to the| medicinal use of alcohol under the Eighteenth | Amendment and the Volstead Act. ‘ Coming generations will marvel at the stu- pendous absurdity of a Congress, composed of aver-‘ | age representatives of the people, attempting to! decxde Just how much a physician should prescribe of anything he may deem his patient needs. The protest his a sound basis not only in the resentment of an intelligent public, but in the speci- | fic recommendations of the Wickersham Commis- sion, which urged the “abolition of the statutory | fixing of the amount which may be prescribed and the number of prescriptions,” and second, “abolition of the requirement of specifying the ailment for { which the liquor is prescribed upon a blank to go into the public files of the supervisor of parmits.” To this end the College of Physiclans demands {that the Volstead Act be amended so as to restore (to physicians rights which have been usurped under ill-advised legislation. The percentage of medical men who are actual or potential lawbreakers is small in comparison with the great, reputable body of the medical | profession.
