The position of the Department of Commerce that no good reasons exist why Alaska should share in the revenues from the seal herds is absolutely at variance with that taken by Congress on identically similar matters, and should not be allowed to prevail.

SEAL REVENUES. {‘ W T | Twice in the past six weeks, The Empire has | said editorially that British Columbia receives that share of the seal revenues which is derived fro i the Pribilof Islands herds by Great Britain under the international treaty with the United States and Japan. It was stated on what was belleved‘ to be good information. We arc now advised by‘ Commissioner Henry O'Malley of the Bureau of Fisheries that thic is a mistake. He took up the matter with Deputy ter Willilam A. Pound of | Jadr | the Dominion F.leies Lepartment and the latter | replied, “the tot .1 amount goes into the consolidated | revenues of the Federal Government.” Thus, Great Britain under the treaty receives 15 per cent of the; preceeds from the s al herds. It in turn allols; the entire sum it g¢t* to Canada. Brilish Columbia | does not get any of it directly. | This, however, coes not lessen Alaska's rightful | claim to a share in the receipts that accrues to! the United Siates. This country does not now | and never has modeled its philosophy of government | after that of Canada. Jts territorial policy s\nce\ 1785 has been unlike that of any other nation, B,nd‘ was the outgrowth of the unfortunate experiences of the American colonies. Congress early determined that the United Sta. should Lave a liberal colonial | policy, one suited to the frontier cohditions with‘ which they were so familiar. Briefly, this was | designed to insure that all of the natural resources,\ forests, coal, fisheries, lands, iu fact every resource | on and beneath the surface of the land and in Lhe‘ waters, into the hands of private ownership and Lo‘ give that ownership the widest possible latitude in the use and development of all of them. Historians | are agreed it was that policy which made possible the rapid growth of the United States—a growth | that populated the vast area lying between the Alleghanies and the Pacific Ocean and made it economically self-sustaining in less than one cen- tury. As the nation grew to maturity, just about the time Alaska was beginning to attract settlers and | capital for d:velopment, there came a change in the traditional policy. A new system was evolved.) Certain resources not already sequestered, including forests, coal, oil and waterpower, were nationalized. That is, the title in them was vested in perpetuity in the Federal Government. Development of them was changed from ownership in fee simple basis to the leasing or rental system. From time to time, as the necessary legislation was passed, in the name of conservation, to preserve the nation’s interest in thess resources, the Congress has conceded the equity of the several States and territories in them by providing that they shall each receive a share in the revenues derived from utilization and devel- opment. Conservation first appeared in the guise of national forests in 1905. In 1906, pursuant to Con- gressional enactment, 10 per cent of the revenues derived from these forests was turned over to the several States embracing the timberlands held by the Federal Government, and in proportion to the sums derivec not on'v from each State but from the counties within the State borders. Later en- actments have successively raised this to 25 per cent and in the case of Aluska to 35 per cent. When the Federal Gov-rnment nationalized the waterpower resources Of ‘he public lands of the country, again Congress rccognized this principle. It expressly provided that 37% per cent “of thy charges arising from licenses . . . . for the occu- pancy and use of national forests, national parks, public lands and national monuments, from the de- velopment within the boundaries of any State shall b2 paid by the Secrciarv of the Treasury to such State.” When Congress passed the Alaska coal lands leas- ing act in 1914, the icentice! principle was again recognized. A short iime before this Congress had authorized the costruction of the Alaska Railroad and appropriatec fund. from the Federal treasury for that purpose. When it opennd up coal lands in the Territory to lease, it prov.ded that after the receipts from them -was sulficient to defray the railroad construction costs, ALL raceijts from coal leases and royaities vould be prid to the Territory. In this instance it cxprestiy included revenues from coal mines that might be operated by the Federal Government. Public lands containing oil, oil shale and similar resources, werc the latest to Lo opened to leasing and development thereundsr. In February, 1925, Congress threw open these lands on that basls. And in so doing !t expressly stipulated that 37% per cent of all amounts derived from bonuses, royalties and rentals shouid be paid to the indi- vidual States within the boundaries of which the _ Jeased lapds or deposits are or were located. In 1925, Congress passed the present Alaska Game Law. While that statute puts all game and The Federal Department of Labor is the authority| for th2 study and report. The automobile industry had the highest per- centage, 443 per cent, of workers employed only five days per week. The radio industry was second with 344 per cent; dying and textile industries, 27 per cent; and the aircraft industry 249 per cent. The building trades reported that the five-day week was increasing. | As we see it now, the great engineer’s mosLE difficult task is still ahead of him--that of build-| ing a bridge strong enough to carry him across for| another four-year term. Wilbur Glenn Voliva said the world is flat. If he'd added “broke,” we'd make it unanimous. Lure of Adventure. (Daily Olympian.) The gold prospector is hitting the trail again. In such famous old-time fields as those of South |Dakota, California, Montana and the Yukon men are getting busy once more, panning the sand of lonely streams and repeating, in miniature, the scenes of the great gold rush days. This, it seems, is not due to any new discov- eries, but simply to the depression. Gold will buy more than it would a few years ago. The pros- pector who gets an ounce of fine dust can buy more supplies, equipment and luxuries with it than he could formerly. None of these prospectors is getting rich. But a great many of them are making a comfortable living, and abandoned gold flelds are looking lively. Indeed, in certaln parts of Canada so many un- employed men from the cities are trying to turn prospector that the mounted police are beginning to shoo them back, fearing that winter will bring too many hardships to ill-equipped and inexperienced gold-hunters. Now there isn't any especial reason why we stay- at-homes should be glad to hear about this revival| of prospecting. We have never hunted for gold, and we never shall—nor would we know how to do it if we tried. But simply to know that men are wandering along empty mountain canyons, far away, looking for the magic metal, is somehow good for us. We have to take our adventures by proxy, these days. No new gold strike, not even the most fabulous, could tear us away from the daily routine. Our horizons will always be just about what they are not. But we have dreams; we have imagina- tion; and the prospectors who tramp the Western and Northern wildernesses are taking us with them, without knowing it. As long as they can go—as long as there is still gold to be found, and lonely country to provide adventure—we do not feel our imprisonment. That is why stories about goldseekers, explorers and the like will always have a sure appeal. Our own hopes died when we went into our 'teens and realized sadly that we would never become pirates or soldiers of fortune or bearded prospectors; but so long as other men can become those things we don’t mind quite so much. We don't get far from home, and we don't have high adventures. But somehow, far away, the golden door is still open, if only a little. We can tell ourselves that we could if we would. That is enough. Nerves. (Boston News Bureau.) That nerves should become frayed after a long ordeal of depression round the world is natural enough. It is merely all the more ironical that exhibitions thereof should come just when duration and intensity would suggest the severest stress of that ordeal had been felt; more, when certain positive indications of betterment were visible. The latest demonstration is in terms of money— and gold. Always the pecuniary nerve has been one of the most sensitive in our anatomy; and since the war a good many peoples have been plagued by currency and unsettlements. Lately we have wit- nessed the spectacles of some doubt professed abroad about the stability of the Yankee dollar, of a flow of gold outward, of a deal of timid hoard- ing at home. May this be considered a very prob- ably emotional climax? All the signs now go to indicate that the efflux of gold itself has about ended; perhaps with it most of the foreign selling felt lately in markets here. That shifted gold, in metal or earmark, may serve to dress certain foreign windows, it may soothe some of those abroad who prated lately of “maldistribution,” and it will not be at all missed here,—where all along there has been a feeling that we held most of it in a sterile “escrow.” Meanwhile the slight touch of fever or nerves visible in our country as typified by the hoarding of cash is reported on the wane. Possibly a quarter of it all was due to some self-protective cash ac- cumulation by banks; some of it went abroad; disturbed spots like Chicago and Philadelphia ac- counted for more. Now in all those areas there is a quieter mood. Following Dr. dollar, Europe is less restive about our staying on the gold standard. Individual Poles and French- men are again trust of our dollar. Meanwhile these symptoms came just when real remedy was at hand. Primarily, of course, our new home, and should help a new international operation to buttress confidence abroad.

Cadets In Faver This Year This is to be an “army season.” By that I mean that the majority are interested in Wast Point cadets, wearing pins and rings—I've a lovely ring myself— and dating up in advance for Thanksgiving and Christmas week.

It's Fun, Too We met some more of the debs and after shopping we all went to a roof and danced. We've made up our minds to have all the fun we can out of this debut business. We are going to enjoy every minute of it and not toke anything too seri- ously. Someone asked me if any of us carried mascots for good luck dur- ing the season. I know of only one girl who does. I think she carries a tiny silver horseshoe. There will be a lot of debs this year. There are more brunets than blonds, and one or two lovely red| heads.
