DEVELOPMENT OF ALASKA.
An interest ing statement tins
been made by the chairman of the
Alaskan committee of tin* Amer
ican Mining Congress, concern
ing that great and undeveloped
territory, which lias been made a
part of tliei Congressional Record
of the Committee on Territories
of the United States Senate.
A comparison was maed in his
statement between the countries
of Norway, Sweden and Finland,
which lie in the same latitudes
as Alaska, and Alaska itselff.
The countries named have 143,
000 square miles of territory to
Alaska’s 590,000 in point of pop
ulation, Norway, Sweden and Fin
land have 10,000,000 population,
while Alaska lias 35,000 whites
and 30,000 Indians. Yet a fair
comparison in other regards
shows that Alaska is equal to
these European countries in nat
ural agricultural and fisheries
resources, and far surpasses
them in minerals.
For these reasons il is assum
ed that there should he at least
10.000 miles of railroads built in
the territory, as eomvared with
12.000 miles in the countries of
Norway, Sweden and Finland.
Until a country is populated
there can be no traffic, and while
railroads bring population, they
do not usually bring it fast
enough lo make a paying trail ic
from the1 start.
For Ibis reason the building of
railroads into new countries uni
versally encouraged by the gov
ernment to whom the land be
longs.
Sometimes Ibis aid is extended
by land grants or by cash sub
sidies, Iml in this case it is pro
posed through bills introduced in
congress to have the government
construct I lie necessary railroad
lines, and b> purchase or con-j
deiiiiialioii make connection with i
Hid 571 miles of track already
built.
This much is certain, Alaska
should be developed for Ihe ben
efit of Ihe people, or Ihe ..pie
should be given an opportunity
lo develop il with Ihe aid of cap
ital. A plan whereby ibis can be
done without making a monopoly
of its resources for capital should
lie possible. It would appear as
if the government should build
the roads, and cn'rol the natural
resources only lo the extent ol
preventing monopolies. Hu I con
gress should act. Alaska is en
tailed to relief an dour govern
ment has dallied with Ihe ipies
lioii too long.--Redlands (Cm
Review. _
THE SENATE TIME KILLER.
President Wilson is receiving
very general and loyal support
from I lie members of his own
party and from a few Progres
sives in his delerminaton to have
currency and tariff measures en
acted at the special session nl
congress. The delay is due al
most entirely t otlie members of
the “Old Ouard’- in the Senate
who are resorting to all the
known and tried plans of obstruc
tion, apparently with no higher
purpose than to linbarrass the
administration and cause the
business inlvrest'S of the country
annoyance, which they hope to
blame upon the president and
his party. That is one tactical
advantage an obstreperous mi
nority has, under our lack of
rules in the Senate. Next year
they will be on the stump call
ing attention to the fearfully long
lime if look the majority to act
upon lariII' and currency, when,
as a matter of fact, the minority
is causing practically all of the
delay.
The Senate is the most reluct
ant body on earth. Therein, it is
said by the constitutionally cau
tious, lies the safely of the re
public. The safety valve wont
blow off if the speed is increas
ed to ten miles aw hour, even if
the thought of that rate of go
ing make the senators gasp for
wind. They have breath enough
and to spare and they are using
it to talk against time that is
fleeting while they slowly mark its
flight with measured words.
The tariff, it is said, will not
he dispose dof till October. It.
ought to have been through con
gress and out of the White House
long before this. The subject has l
been discusse dfrm every angle
through slow passing sessions for
years. The senators know as
much about it now as they ever
did or ever will. They have been
playing it off against, the cur
rency, hoping that the president,
in the face of delay, would relent
and let them go home.
The president, however, has
determined that there shall he a
currency act before the special
session is adjourned and the sen
ators are reluctantly agreeing to
take up consideration of the is
sue in earnest. This will take
lime and there will lie more ex
cuse for delay than there has
been o ntlie tariff hill. The cur
rency hill is not. in ship-shape
and I lie administration is not in
sistent upon its enactment in its
present form. Still, a currency
reform law should he on the stat
ute hooks by the last of October
and that would give the over
worked congress a month’s vaca
tion before the opening of the
regular session in December.
