GOVERNMENT TURNS OFF SWITCH
The citizens of Nenana certainly have the sympathy
of all. Built mainly by the government whose officials
made false promises to investors, the camp grew and
prospered wThen suddenly another arm of the government
reached out and throttled its very life. The Senate com
mittee who visited the rail belt last year, decreed the Ne
nana public utilities, owned by the government, supply
ing light, power and heat to the small number of inhab
itants, was too great a burden, so recommended its func
tions to cease. The plant shut down last week and, as
25 years ago, a fairly modern little town is once again
relegated to the background and where the brilliance of
electric energy formerly twinkled from homes, busi
nesses and streets, now the soft glow from hundreds of
candles cast weird shadows.
Good God! Why couldn’t the committee have stayed
home; they have done eveiything but wrecked the line
and created more unrest than ever before. The expense
of their pleasure trip to Alaska on a flotilla of destroy
ers, alone would have paid the expense of maintaining
operation of the Nenana plant for years.
A lot of Seward gardens look like the workers are
beginning to disbelieve what they saw in the catalogs.
A state medical society has declared in favor of
painless death for imbeciles and the incurably ill. The
movement is age-old, and makes its presence known
every so often, but with no sign of increased approba
tion. As a matter of public gain, it is better that the
sick should suffer, than that the well should acquire
the calculating hardness that would sanction the crack
ing of a sick man’s head with a club; and, in principle,
there is no fundamental difference between clubs and
chloroform.

It is easily within the bounds of conservatism to
say that the total possibilities of hydro electric develop
ment in the Kenai Peninsula exceeds 500,000 horse pow
er—probably twice that much—sufficient to make this
area hum with industry and manufacture.
Statistics may be alright but we doubt that crimi
nals can be reformed by merely counting them.
We don’t hear much about the high price of fur
coats or silk stockings.

If that German naked cult ever becomes popular in
Alaska the clothing business will be a good one to stay
out of; and wouldn’t the mosquitoes have the time of
their slim lives.
What are the Better Business Bureaus doing these
dark days?
We would like to discover the “gink” who tried to
corrupt the lilly-like morals of The Gateway staff. Upon
referring to the dictionary for a 10-pound word, an an
cient copy of Jim Jam Jems came to light between the
leaves of Webster. Nature is certainly grand.
Gangsters' coffins have been stabilized at $15,000
per.
Alaska, where the liberty of leisure has not yet been
put to flight.
A man out of debt is a free man, regardless of what
the Declaration of Independence might say.

(By Edson R. Waite, Shawnee, Oklahoma)
The best sellers owe their prosperity to
continuous advertising.
No business concern can afford to pass up
the opportunity advertising offers to make
faster sales and increase popularity.
Those who offer their wares or service
through the printed page are the ones the pub
lic knows best. People always buy things they
know about in preference to those they never
heard of.
THERE IS ALWAYS BUSINESS FOR
THOSE WHO AGGRESSIVELY GO AFTER
IT BY ADVERTISING.
THE FATE OF MANY A BUSINESS IS
SEALED BY LACK OF ADVERTISING,
THEIR EXISTENCE BEING UNKNOWN
TO THE BUYING PUBLIC.
CONTINUOUS ADVERTISERS ARE
THOSE WHO YEAR AFTER YEAR SELL
A TO A STEADILY INCREASING NUMBER
9 OF SATISFIED CUSTOMERS.
