NOT TIME TO MOVE THE CAPITAL
IF ANY PART OF THE STATE would benefit by
moving the capital, this part of the state would.
Because it is so very far away from the seat of gov
ernment often its rights, privileges, needs and urgent
necessities are lost in the maze and multitude of
problems confronting the other parts of the state
which are more heavily populated and closer to the
capital city.
Because of the distance, divisional agencies have
been sidetracked, withdrawn from Nome or delegated
to Fairbanks. The problems of this coastal area and
its people are far different from the interior and it is
due to this in a great measure, that our economy has
been retarded. An example of this was the withdrawal
of the Land Office, which took 10 years to restore and
cost the 2nd District thousands upon thousands of
dollars in lost revenue as well and unknown delays in
development.
Yes, we would benefit by the moving of the
capital but at the same time we know that this is
not the time to think about such a thing or spend
time, money and effort on such a move. Alaska, the
new state has many other problems and hurdles to
jump before contemplating such a change — which
will come eventually and gradually and not by the
acceptance or rejection of Initiative No. 1.
As the population grows and where it grows will
in a great measure determine where the people will
want their capital. If Southeastern Alaska grows in
the same proportion as the other parts of the state
then it could remain there.
It is unfortunate that the people of Alaska had
to be confused by such a sectional issue at a time
when it should be united in its efforts to prepare the
foundation for the fastest growing state in the Union.
So let’s leave the capital where it is for now—but :
hold off on any big scale building plan until the state
is ready and able to plan an expansion. \

The Tricycle Set s Views
On Issues of The Day
ELMIRA, N.Y., tF — The tri
cycle set, aged 6 to 10, is at least
slightly confused about the na
tional situation.
This was proved by a survey
conducted in pup tents, backyard
wading pools and other likely
spots. There was reward in trail
ing the ice cream man’s cart.
Most of those interviewed had
ready answers. A few seemed re
luctant to commit themselves and
asked for time to consult their
friends. One young man answered
every question with: “Gee, I
know the answer to that but 1
forgot it.”
“What do you think of the
world situation?” was our first
question. An eight-year-old gave
it some sober thought. “I think
it’s round,” he answered. Other
answers included: “Its okay.”
“It’s in outer space.”
When asked to identify Soviet
Premier Khrushchev, the young
people answered:
“I think he’s a wrestler.” "He’s
a German spy.” “He’s a president |
who travels around the world.” 1
An eight-year-old said: “He's a
‘communas’ man.”
Our next question: “What’s pol
itics?” got this answer from a
six-year-old boy: “Is it some kind
of sickness?”
“What is a mayor?” drew these |
opinions:
“It’s a bad dream,” and "a
horse.”
“Washington or President Ei- |
senhower.” “Kennison.” Ninety
per cent favored George Wash
ington, although some expressed
doubt that Washington still was
living.
“What’s the Senate?” we asked
and drew a blank from all but a
six-year-old lover of jet planes.
“It’s a big loud noise,” he said.
“I heard a senate boom one time
when I was playing in my back
yard.”
