TOO MUCH MEDDLING
Thoughtful citizens, regardless of political affilia
tions, are beginning to sense the menace presented by
the growth of government departments, bureaus, boards,
commissions and other agencies for the regulation of
every detail of our daily lives.
This menace is two-fold. It menaces our liberties
and it menaces our material welfare through forcing us
to support an army of useless officials. Every new law
which is suggested by the professional reformer and
busybody is designed to add to this army of political
jobholders. The burden is becoming intolerable.
This is particularly true in business and industrial
life, in which the harassment of reputable citizens at
the whims of politicians has about reached the limit of
endurance. Speaking to the American Bar Association
on this subject some time ago, Mr. Justice Sutherland
of the United States Supreme Court, said:
“Never before have the business activities of the
people been so beset and bedeviled with vexatious stat
utes, prying commissions and governmental intermed
dling.”
Judge Johnson of Idaho observes that “the appetite
for minding other people's business grows by what it
feeds on, and the result is a swarm of agents, inspectors,
detectives and nosey Meddling Matteis going about wor
rying and bulldozing the people."
Still the busybodies are clamoring for more laws,
more bureaus and more investigations, because these
mean more political jobholders at the expense of the
taxpayers.
ALASKA 4-H CLUBS
Alaska 4-H Clubs are functioning well, judging
from a news letter from the extension department of
the Alaska College. Cordova, Wrangell, Matanuska,
Anchorage and Fairbanks reporting various activities
and progress.
Through this organization boys and girls in Alaska
are given excellent advice and suggestions for carrying
on more successfully the various things in which they
are interested. Some fine things have been accomplished
by these young people, as well as the grown-ups, and
as time goes by the effects will be more noticeable.
A loyal citizenship is the greatest asset any city
can have.
The Prince of Wales passes his 37th birthday, still
unmarried, and England is disturbed. , King Carol
of Rumania is too much married ,and Rumania also is
disturbed. A poor king hardly knows what to do to
please the populace.
Horses used to fear automobiles; now they shy at
the strange sight of another horse.
If trans-oceanic airplane operators continue to mul
tiply as they have lately, their landings will get to be
of about as much interest, and quite as much of a nuis
ance, as the arrival of the proverbial fly in the apothe
cary's ointment.
When a city has safe, sane and vigorous coopera
tion it grows into a bigger and better city.
Usually the fellow who drives fastest isn’t going
anywhere in particular.
Nothing can beat gold mining as a permanent
wealth producer.
