I'ESDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1915
low THE EAST LOVES US.
rom the Atlantic to the eastern
of the Rocky mountains the set
t helped themselves as they ud
:ed, to everything they could find
he then wilderness. The very
t they ever paid for the richest
s was $2.50 an acre—just enough
ly for the surveys and the making
of the deeds.
>me three score years or more
some crank started the idea that
much as the government owned
public domain, it in reality be
ed to all the people, and if it any
re contained special treasures,
i as lead or zinc or coal or iron
>sits, the whole people should own
deposits. The idea seemed a good
to the men in the far east, who
w nothing of the frontier or the
iships incident upon its settle
t and redemption, and they caus
i law to be passed to secure to |
nselves their pro rata of the un- j
overed or undeveloped wealth.
was tried for five years and its
roductiveness and its manifest in- j
ice caused congress to repeal the
without one dissenting vote,
ut a few years ago the thought
revived, again in the east, and |
tgh in the interval between the ,
sal of the old law and the resur- [
ion of the old thought the west,
mostly the deserts of the west, !
supplied the means to the east to j
ble it to make available its many'
mrces and prow rich this revived
light took strong hold on eastern
idity, and the then president, one
•odore Roosevelt, selected a pet
al friend, one Gifford Pinchot, to |
west, spv out the laud, and see .
it he could : nd and appropriate I
the way P is t>nd' rstoud that Mr. j
chot draws princely revenues from ;
1 lands in Pennsylvania, which
t his ancestors just $2.50 per \
i. j
n the mean time, because of the
tial subduing of electricity to i
n’s use, water power had become !
uable. So had timber lands and j
lands and iron and coal lands. j
fhus when Mr. Pinchot came west j
at he did was in effect to deliver j
ultimatum to the men of the des- |
, which set to words was about;
is:
‘Our great and beneficent govern-j
nt loves the men of Alaska almost j
much -as It does the lovable Mexi- j
is; It wants you all to prosper and 1
open the whole of our vast do
in to you; only, keep in mind, if i
1 discover any forests, any streams I
it will make waterpower, any coal |
oil lands, you must not disturb
■,m for they are on the public do- j
in; they may become valuable j
er a while by the time the supply i
the east is exhausted, and as the
>ple of the east desire an even
jak wUh the western pioneer, and
ve a common interest in them,
;y are entitled to a pro rata of any
pfits that may come from them.
Then he sent out a small army of
i friends on government salaries to
j that the greedy men of the we. t.
d north should not appropriate ant
ing the east might want. In this
iv about one-third of the state of
aho was placed under a reserve,
eluding all the streams, so that wa
r power might not be created and
ctories spring up in competition
ith the east. In the same way Utah
1 and coal and timber lands were
ivered. In Alaska some nervy men
id begun to open up coal lands and
ill their product to the people, but
ie cry went up that they were mon
polists, and the government imme
iately sat down upon them, and for
six years past the public here has,
with ample coal at its doors been
forced to buy coa) from Japan and
British Columbia at exorbitant rates/
while eastern coal is sold to Denmark
and European countries. By these
means the north can not beoome a
I competitor of the east in the < al
markets of the world.
But it is idle to inveigh against
the mingled cupidity and stupidity of
the educated . idiots in . control, at
i Washington, who at long range feel
lit a duty to rob the west and Alaska,
land to retard our development for
I several decades until the eastern cap
italists can come out and gobble up
jour resources. They know no more
about our conditions here than they
know of the God they pray for bless
ings from.
| But they continue to pray to God
jand prey upon the pioneer.—Cordova
Daily Times.
CANAL BE CLOSED
FOR MANY MONTHS.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.—Advices
from Panama canal state that slides
still continue at Culebra cut and that
the canal will be closed to shipping
for the balance of the year. Col.
Goelthals is reported as conferring
with engineers as to the nations
which will be adopted for fighting the
flow of mud at the cut, which has
been declared by several prominent
engineers to be nothing less than a
mud volcano which is coming to life
after being long dormant.
SPAULDING CONDEMNED FOR
CONTESTING FATHER’S WILL.
SAN DIEGO, Calif., Oct. 12.—The
members of the Theosophists colony
here, at Point Loma, have gone on
record as condemning James Spauld
ing, son of the millionaire sporting
goods manufacturer who died here
last month, for contesting the will o*
his father. The aged millionaire left
the greater portion of his wealth to
his widow, step-mother of the yo.'ng
man who is contesting the will on
the charge that his father was infli
enced by Theosophists, of which be
lief his wife is a member.
GERMANS REGARD LONDON
AS FORTIFIED CITY.
LONDON, Oct. 11.—Count von
Reventlow, the naval writer, replies
in the Tageszeitung to British criti
cism of German airship raids over
London. He says that London is a
fortress, and that Sir Percy Scott, the
newly appointed defender of the city
from aerial attacks, should order the
civil population to depart.
The Count asserts that Germany is
not responsible for the fact^ that the
fortress of London, attacked many
times, has not been evacuated, and
says that the failure of the British
government to order the people to
abandon it shows disdainful disre
gard of the principles of humanity,
civilization and international law.
The airship attacks, Count von
Reventlow insists, are legal and of a
purely military character, aimed at
the destruction of vessels, wharves,
magazines, and other property serv
ing war purposes directly or indirect
ly. Asserting that such operation
cannot have one syllable spoken
against them, he concludes:
“We hope confidently that the say
ing,- ‘Throwing bombs on London’
will soon be as trite as the phrase,
‘Carrying coals to Newcastle,’ with
the notable difference however, that
in Newcastle there are coals enough
while in London far too few German
bombs have thus far exploded.”
