PROSPECTING FOR OIL
The annoucement that the recent restrictive order
issued by President Hoover with respect to prospecting
and drilling for oil on public domain will not apply
to Alaska comes as a welcoming note on the heels of
what has been deep uncertainty and chaos with respect
to this important essential to Alaskan industry. It also
indicates that President Hoover has the grasp of the
situation, and further liberality will be accorded the
Territory.
I he action ot Secretary Wilbur in making his
announcement was influenced by direct inquiry by the
Gateway and private correspondence by others setting
forth the oil situation in Western Central Alaska.
This correspondence was not in the nature of a
protest, but rather a brief covering many phases of
restrictive conservation, with suggestions as to creat
ing more elasticity in administering Conserved resources.
Unfortunately the Legislature, whose duty it is to
voice the sentiment of the people in the Territory, could
not find time between its logrolling for petty advan
tages, to take up such an important question and
present it in form calculated to impress Washington.
Instead it maintaine dits malodorous traditions by
hurling broadsides and epithets at whomsoever it did
not like, finally ending with the stigma, as cast by one
of its most conservative members, of lacking in common
honesty expected of a rank and file citizen.
Which points to' a moral: Henceforth men of a
higher quality must be drafted into the Legislature; men
who see beyond the petty partisan bickerings and are
capable of tackling the main issue of securing greater
latitude for the Territory in presenting its case right.
From an Alaskan’s viewpoint any disarmament
plan our statesmen—“Ah hem!’’—may have in mind
might be given a try-out in Chicago or Memphis.
A California beach resort advertises “clean dancing
every night except Monday.” We’re going to keep that
place in mind when we go Outside and see what takes
place on Monday night.
It sometimes takes a lot of fiction to explain the
truth.
