under the present land laws, if
they are honestly acquired. Un
less the individual purchaser is
buying for a syndicate to which
he expects to sell or oo which he
is a part—both forbidden by law
—he cannot acquire Alaska coal
lands at a profit.
The next step, indispensably
necessary, is that Congrefs shall
pass laws permitting the sale or
lease of Alaska coal lands on a
royalty. Unfortunately, the Dem
ocratic House is far more ready
to investigate than to legislate.
It is willing to expose. It is not
ready to render deveiopCTaei.w
feasible. The senate should be
wiser. All are agread that leg
islation bringing Alaskan coal
and mineral lands into the mar
ket is needed^ Courage ought to
pass it, even in the face of
charges certain to come that a
profit will be made off the lands.
