| 20 ALASKA REVEALED LACKING LD PSH Desire to Keep Natural Re- sources While Selling Them Seen in People. Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. - SEWARD, Alaska, July 14.—Alaska Mould like to eat its God-glven cake s—her natural resources—yet would like to keep it. That is the estimate | the presidential party has placed on the perplexing question, and it con- forms with the views communicated | #o President Harding and hig cabinet | by officlal advisers in places where they have stopped. That portion of the population which is engaged in salmon fishing Yesents the Hoover restriction on their own special phase of the indus- try. They want conservation at the expense of the other fellow, yet they tell wit- sighs of the depleted spawni- ing str W s where not so very long ago thef .sh were so thick one had to wade tlirough them in crossing. When you turn to the vast possi- bilities of the spruce and hemlock forests for newsprint, and the water power, it is stated that development cannot come when capital must hur- dle so many obstacles in the way of governmental rules and regulations. Yet Skagway stands today as & me- morial to the lack of stability that characterized the “gold rush” devel- opment. The town that was once a beehlve of activity, the outfitting point for the Klondike, now is little better than a deserted village, a shadow of better days.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J, July 14— Attitude of People. It would be quite easy to regard Alaska as a country with a grourh.] and at times it seems that every one has-something about which to com- plain to the President. No two com- munities have seemed to agree as to just what the federal government ought to do or ought mot to do, and Sufie often the most widely divergent views have been heard in the same locality. Alaska desires permanent develop- ment and scems to feel that it will be impossible to bring new capital to a new and far distant country if there are to be government agents with bundles of don’t at every milepost. Alaska hankers for no more gold rushes to bleed her dry and then abandon her, leaving nothing but scattered houses, dismal and de- caying. Alaska does not wish to have forest and power site explorers skim the cream from her resources and go their way rejoicing over their easy profits without any returns for the abandoned settlement. Alaska wants to save her salmon fisheries from the depletion which characterized the cannery operations California, Oregon, Washington, Aalne, Massachusetts and Maryland, jut beyond and above Alaska wants development. That, of course, is the cayse of conflicting opinions, and every man has his own theory of what should be done. ! Criticism General. Almost every one has criticism to .ffer against some government activi- | y which centers in the obstructingi \fluences of the Department of Agri-| alture under the reforms the ad-} sinigtration has instituted. | Secretary Wallace, however, wins sore praise and less censure than 2y of the others. -The Department| *“Interior is viewed as steeped in| e most deadly bureaucracy in its ocesses, preferring red tape aud| yerastination, and lacking vision. | scretary Work has done little bet- than did Secretary ~Fall _for; aska, and Lane's government rail- .4 project is not counted a_success. ories of discontent are traceable in. any instances to political fear of eading on the toes which kicked| ehard Ballinger out of the Taft| abinet. Yet, strangely enough, one ! \ears more kind words for Ballinger | han for Pinchot. ! Secretary Hoover is the most popu- | ar member of the party. There are | i jafy who contend that Alaska should ance that was given the states, the American main- and. They say: “Let us invest our capital and come here for develop- nemt. We have learned much from he west. Many of the abuses of ex- Jloftation are no longer possible. Jut the development of any new | ‘ountry must depend in the larger | ‘nalysis on the man willing to take <hances—call him gambler, capital- | i, adventurer or whatéver you hoose. It was his spirit that de-| eloped yvour west, and you cannot ! »ind that spirit in a mass of red | tape and ask It to fight and conquer | nature in one of her strongholds. | New Communities, “Tt is more important that we shall build new communities in Alaska, for it is in Alaska that our population is | declining. Or are we to base our | Alaskan policy on the desire of the | government to make no return on the public domain, for fear that per- hape some investor may earn a profit which demagoguery might hold to be ! inordinate. “The simple fact is that under your present policy Alaska is not going | rward. Would it be better to con- vert this land into a neglected em- oire for fear that some one might | make a little money in its develop- ment? Can we hope for the future, when the young men we gave to the | colors in the world war elected to re- main on the mainland when they oye mustered out? . . ! people up here ask thes - tions.

S “Any untutored Indlans who desire L return to primitive ways are not fac- tor8 in the problem. The man and women who Tun the industries, shops, banks and newspapers are the ones who. count, and viewing their problem at cloge range it does seem that the great, glorious government, which forees the territorial legislature to Rold its sessions in Elks' halls and over stores because red tape Wash- ington prevents the erection of a capitol bullding, is not giving them a decent chance. This is thelr home. They intend remaining here. They expect to bear and induce a new gerteration of Alaskans to carry on here. They ask only’ the fair chance to bulld."
