SEWARD. ALASKA. JUNE 22. 1914
There is sound sense, practicability and constructive states
manship in the suggestion made by Secretary Lane for the ciea
iion of a commission to take charge of all of the resources of
Alaska, to do that work well in that territory
I I \ • s which is now done badly or not done at all
CO\STRl CTH E by half a dozen or more different govern
PROGRAM mental agencies, all limited in what work
they can do by the constant necessity of re
ferring everything to bureau-officials in Washington 1 it,\.
In the form of a report made to the senate and the house
committees on territories Secretary Lane marshals the arguments
in favor of his scheme. The mere recital in this report of the
manner in which matters affecting Alaska are now parceled around
among the different bureaus and departments, is a sufficient argu
ment in itself for the adoption of some simple, comprehensive and
workable plan, and he has outlined such a plan.
There should scarcely be any question that all matters affect- j
ng the public domain should be admistered. not alone in Alaska
but evervwhere else, by one bureau of one department of the gen
eral government. The forestry service belongs to and should be
entirely under the jurisdiction of the interior department, for one
thing.
(tut ns far as Alaska is concerned, all the matters effecting it
and the development of its resources should be left under the con
trol of a single commission of competent man, on the ground,
with full power to act. unhampered by the bureaucratic methods
of Washington city, but free to deal with every situation as they
tind it. This is the diametric opposite of the bureaucratic methods
under which Alaska has been bottled up for so many years and
that very reason affords a strong argument for it. Secretary
l ane's report on the subject should be conclusive and congress!
should act upon his recommendations, which have already beenj
embodied in bills now before congress. Seattle 1*. 1.
