The Lemke Bill (Anchorage News) The agricultural committee of the Anchorage report on the so-called Lemke bill—a measure pending in Congress, which if it passes would constitute the greatest land grab Alaska has ever known.

The Lemke bill is extremely generous with the lands it exappropriates from the Territory of Alaska. It provides that no one applying under the provision may take less than 320 acres but at the same time he cannot take more than 2,560 acres. | The Chamber of Commerce report rightly con- all reason. It points out that it is in the realm of impossibility to cultivate or properly use even the minimum amount of land under the bill, let alone using 2,560 acres of Alaska wilds to advantage.

It takes 80 years for timber to mature in Alaska, the Chamber points out, therefore even if logging operations could be maintained on the maximum tract, it would soon be logged off and the owner would have to wait more than three-quarters of a century for the trees to grow back on again. The Lemke bill has some good points, it must be granted, but the impractibility of the bill far out- weighs these attributes if any exist. The Chamber of Commerce acted properly in con- demning the Lel X ploration have pointed to its fallacies and incongrui- ties. One salient point has been overlooked in our opin- ion, which considered in its full meaning is the most damaging thing about the entire measure. serve huge tracts of land in Alaska, relegat- ts in re: b s e application ing them to cold storage against the day is made for their use. Thus it makes no difference whether applicants rush it from all over the United States and take up their land claims immediately, or whether prospective settlers hold off for the next 100 years, the land is still reserved for the purpose established under the act and is out of circulation for all time or at best until the viciousness of such laws are discovered and repealed. & AT A SR e According to a recent U.
