NOME, ALASKA, FEB. 10. 1*16
The announcement that the senate
committee on naval arta.rs will report
favoraoly on tne bill calling for th-_
estabiishment o a government armoi
plate factory does not mean, of course
mat tneie is more than a prospect that
suen a plant will be established but
It is a wnolesome Indication that a,
least a portion of the national legtsla
tois are commencing to recognize tile
advantages of government ownership
as opposed to the present system ot
contiacting for everything the govern
ntenc nevus in the construction anc
maintenance of the navy, even if they
uo not or will not see farther than
Unit, in matters of national economy
'inis and the prior announcement that
tne government may build its own
battleships In the near future, showy
that we are learning some lessons In
national economics that may ultimate
ly result in a vast change in the pres
ent governmental system. Indeed, It
is not too much to hope that the near
future will see not only government
ow ned armor plants and ship yards
but also a gradual extension of gov
ernment ownership over the railroads,
telegraph lines and other public ultlll
tles. Of course, a complete govern
ment assimiliatlon of such utilities
will be a matter of slow, very elow
growth, for there Is no doubting that
every tendency In this direction will
be fought tooth and nail by the cor
porate plunderbund, aided by their
sycophantic henchmen in the legisla
tive halls.
The corporations have been doing
too welt under the present system to
think of releasing their hold, especially
at a time w hen they have succeeded in
putting their fcollar around the neck
of a major portion of the congressmen
and are, through them. In almost com
plete control of the law making ma
chinery of the nation. It required the
better portion of two decades of steady
fighting on the part of a few public
spirited legislators to bring the parcels
post Into existence over the compara
tively slight Influence of the express
company's, hence it will be readily
seen that even the construction of a
government armor plant will not be
consummated without a most bitter
struggle. However, the leaven Is at
work and the prospect that we may
ultimately be able to overcome the in
fluence of the corporations to the ex
tent that all public utilities will be
under government control, la not alto
gether hopeless.
Henry Ford’s announcement that the
second peace expedition, which he In
tends to send to Europe, will be com
posed of "personalities" rather than
"personages" Indicates that the noted
pacificist's keen penetration ha* en
abled him to spot at least one of the
flaws In his first fruitless attempt to
carry the olive branch to the embat
tlod nations of the old wotld.
There Is little doubt that he la per
fectly correct In his estimate of what
was wrong with the first peace ex
pedition, for a glance over ttte list of
peace angels who sailed on ths Oscar |
i. is speedily convincing that the "per .
sonage" element was the predominat I
ing feature. It Is true that among tin j
members were many who are not lack- !
.ng In personality. Some were pos -
„e»sed of remarkable quantisation* and
^apaciUea but there were etlU other*
whose only claim to Jlatlnetlon wa»|
confined to an over abundant stock of
dollars, acquired In, Ood knows what
devious wavs Tbs only purpose that
tould be served by having a bunch of
plutocratic money bags along consisted
n possibly adding the splendor of
wealth, as a sort of golden halo around
t great and noble purpose
This may not have been apostle
Henry*’ idea In taking them along,
and again It might, for Ford has
doubtless grown up, like many of the
rest of us In the United States, with
x firm belief that dollars stand for
ibout everything under the sun, brains
ind character included.
In this country the glamor of wealth
will add a weighty Influence to any
'ause good, bad or indifferent, but It
?an hardly be conceded that the same
\pplles to Europe. There the stan
lards of Judgment are based on differ
'nt Ideas and wealth Is hardly granted
more than passive recognition. In no
-ase does the mere possession of dol
’ars bring more than a modicum of
the honor given to character, mental
ittainment, or kindred personal attri
butes. Money is not without influ
ence—but, such Influence—as It
may command, Is In no de
jree ocmparable with that exerted In
the United States, where everybody Is
ready to bow down In whole hearted
worship before the throne of Mam
mon. A goodly percentage of those In
the original Ford party possessed no
personal qualification entitling them
to recognition In a land where the
lollar sign is not looked upon with
eneration and they, consequently
dded neither character or Influence
: o such an assembly. Indeed the addl
!on of such people served but to re
uee the Influence of those of the party
,-ho could command respect because
f personal qualities. In a w-ay, their
ery presence, far from adding a
;lamor, serv ed but to belittle the whole
.xpedition. If Ford brought them
wlong with the Idea In view that they
would help to Influence those to whom
wealth Is a birthright, he made a
sorry, though doubtless natural, mis
ake and one that he has probably
recognized. If one may Judge from the
one of his recent remark. Whether
sr not his expedition would have sue
■eeded though It were made up of all
‘he “personalities" In creation Is a
oroblem difficult to answer but It Is
rertaln that It would have secured a
”ar greater recognition than the one
that has now become a by word and
Is without influence or recognition.
ALASKA GAME LAW.
Like everything else respecting Al
aska, the game laws for the most part
are a Joke. Not until the territory
secures statehood can there be much
improvement. As It Is now, big game
hunters paying a license can slaugh
ter game, whilst It Is unlawful for
Alaskans to eat the meat and utilize
game for themselves. Meat markets
for Instance, cannot handle game, save
In a limited sense. Therefore, only
those who have the time to get out
In the hills and kill their own game,
can profit by the law. Those who
remain In town busy with their work
must buy outside meat or else depend
upon their friends to get an occasional
piece of freah meat To allow bona
fide settlers to sell a limited amount
of game would provide them with
money to develop their places, and at
the same time give town residents
cheap meat occasionally. Under such
a plan there would be no more game
slaughtered than under the present
arrangement. Native dogs and wolves
and others can secure plenty of game,
which Is denied to the town resident.—
