HILCHER OPPOSING
j CHANGE IN CONTROL
If LIQUOR TRAFFIC
A askans are not in favor of
rr, iking any change in the meth
od of liquor control in the Terri
tory. in the opinion of Herbert
[ H. Hilcher, nationally known
magazine writer, who recently
completed an extended trip thru
the Territory. Pic believes Alaska
voters are overwhelmingly oppos
ied to any change that will result
I in building up a political ma
)chine and taking away from in
; corporated towns the revenues
they now receive in the form of
liquor license moneys.
"Merchants and business men
of Alaska are taking a renewed
interest in politics and govern
ment and are vitally concerned
with the growing trend of gov
ernmental competition in private
business,” Hilcher is quoted as
stating in a press interview in
Southeast Alaska. "Unless the
present trend is stopped soon by
| the concerted action of all busi
ness men and all citizens, there
will be little left to stimulate
.private initiative or to encourage
I Americans to try to make a liv-•
ing for themselves.
"Alaska is one of the few' plac |
es w'here personal effort is still
appreciated and encouraged. And
unless the citizens of the Terri
tory protect their business from
governmental encroachment and
competition, we will see an end-1
less progression of Federal and
Territorial agencies encroaching
on every branch of private busi
ness.
"Business men throughout the
Territory are now actively fos
tering the formation of an Alaska !
Retail Merchants Association
that will include in its member
bership commercial representativ
es all the way from Point Bar,
row to Ketchikan and that is set
ting up a program for the sane
and logical development of the
Territory.”
