A FINE IDEA, BUT—
Senator Cappers of Kansas has a fine idea. He wants
to abolish Congress, substituting a small board of direc
tors, similar to that of a great business corporation, with
the President at its head.
In urging his plan he points out that there is now
one government official or employee for every 10 per
sons in the country. (We thoughti t was worse than that
in Alaska) In other words, we must give one day's earn
ings out of 10 toward the pay of these public employees,
besides paying our share of the other expenses of govern
ment.
But, regardless of the merits of Senator Capper’s
idea, it has one fatal defect—it won’t work. Congress
could not be abolished except through a constitutional
amendment proposed bv a two-thirds vote of Congress
itself. How mnnv Congressmen would ever vote to abol
ish their own jobs?
Some dav, if we live long* enough, we are going to
bring the winter dwellers of eastern Montana and North
Dakota to Alaska and show them the promised land.
Old Man Winter plays a mighty game of handball
with the winds and waves as his missiles and the rock
hound coast of Southwestern Alaska as his court. Woe to
the luckless mariner who strays within the precincts
when the game is on and no government relief vessel
within call.
Still, its an ill wind that blows no one good. There’s
enough wreckage along the coast this winter to keep
many a home fire burning.
