Major Caldwell sweeps Seattle election Curry for Lane Alaska plan
Washington dispatch says Representative Charles F. Curry of California, chairman of the Committee on Territories, introduced the Lane bill for an Alaska Development Board in Congress. The measure would move Alaska land, mineral and agricultural administration from the General Land Office to the development board in Alaska, creating a three member bipartisan board and an Alaska Fund to disburse resource receipts. Appeals to the Interior Secretary are provided for, aiming to foster pioneer development with safeguards against exploitation. The bill mirrors a Senate proposal from former Secretary Franklin K. Lane and resembles a prior Oregon Senator Chamberlain plan.
