as would have shamed a Peisian sat
rap to enforce, it is too much to hope
that the imagined relaxation of its na
tional virtues would effect an aug
mentation of its justice to a distant
people even were they sheltered ami
protected by the bonds of an anomal
ous statehood.
Statehood for Alaska within an>
reasonable period of time may be dis
missed as purely an academic propo
sition; statehood at any time or under
nny conditions now imaginable is a
proposition of doubtful merit, both for
Alaska and the United States.
A rational statesmanship would na
turally take proper cognizance of the
interests of the future; but if entirely
wise it would leave much to the deter

the pressing needs of the immediate
present. Those pressing needs demand
the right solution ot three chief pro
blems, involving respectively a moral
economic and political issue.
A brave and adventurous people
l came in good faith to Alaska, an un
known wilderness. By their toil they
were rapidly converting it into a land
of homes and plenty: were accumulat
ing wealth ami the advantages that
wealth confers; and bv their own un
aided efforts had uncovered and ex
posed to view a potential wealth in
natural resources of undreamed ex
tent. When this was noticed by Amer

States government was employed as
the instrument to seize and confiscate

1 .vcallh for the benefit of groat trusts.
i'h»^ spoliation of the men who made
.kJu'tka is the moral issue involved,
1 and it will remain alive until rectified
according to the accepted standards of
honest meu.
It having developed that public
sentiment would not brook the immed
iate transfer of the loot to its intend
ed beneficiaries, the United States
government was again utilized as the
instrument to place it under the lock
and key of so-called conservation un
til public conscience was lulled to
slumber, and the closely-guarded
! treasures could be safely turned over
. 10 the lumber trust, the oil trust, thi
coal trust, and their financial confed
erates for exploitation and profit
making at the expense of the Ameri
can people, and to the further impov
erishment of the people of Alaska.
And in that fact rests the econo
mic issue involved, and the one Alas
ka is striving to master and readjust
in the interests of her people, present
and to come.
The political issue is the direct out
growth of the moiai and economic
issues set forth, and involves the
fo’m and substance of civil govern
ment for Alaska in the days to come.
At present it is hidden behind the veil
of futurity. The ono indubitable cer
, taint\ is that bureaucratic govern
ment in Alaska approaches its end. Its
1 financial creators and masters cannot
save it. whether it be disguised under
the specious subterfuge of a «*o-callcd
Development Board, or yet some other
redressing of the actors in the drama
of spoliation.
If the closely-drawn curtain of con

hidden its tracks in Alaska during the
