RESIGNATION REGRETTED
The resignation of Carl C. Orlander from the City
Council is regretted by the majority of the citizens of this
city but it is known he had long desired to be released
from duties which for years he has unstintingly given
of his time. He set a record which has thus far never
been equaled, locally; that of being written in on three
different occasions. At no time during his long and val
uable career as a member of the Seward City Council,
was he stampeded, nor prejudiced. To each successive
administration he was a fount of past procedure. Serv
ing no special interests, his astute leadership made him
conspicuous in public affairs. .
WANTS TO TAX US SOME MORE
We don’t like Foster’s proposed measure to tax
every male in Alaska another five “bucks” to be applied
to the indigent relief fund excepting the usual excep
tions, soldiers, saliors, etc. Frank will never harvest
votes ‘thataway.’ Anybody can figure out new ways
to burden the citizenry with additional taxation but why
not devote come high-power thought to relieving some
of it; or leave it alone asd direct efforts to constructive
subjects such as wiping out the Bone Dry law, lifting
the Federal leasing system, a publicity campaign to
increase the Territory’s population; aides for develop
ment of our resources.
Sometimes we believe our solons are afflicted with
strabismus; look two ways at once.
WHAT A COMMUNITY CAN ACCOMPLISH
Several thousand dollars have already been brought
to Cordova through its newest industry, live bait for the
lishermen, says the Cordova Times. That energetic city
is overlooking no bets and has also formed an industry
for shell fish packing and canning. The sawmill is busy
turning out boxes. You cant’ beat a town like that which
unitedly cooperates in expanding her industries. May her
growth never falter.
In the heart of every true Alaskan is room for
every acre of the Territory’s sunny soil, its every hill
upon which the morning breaks, its every vale that
cradles the evening shadows, its every stream that
laughs back the image of the sun.
************
The great Seward Peninsula has sadly needed radio
and telephone communication for many years and it is
anticipated that the Alaska legislature will pass the bill
which seeks $12,000 for this purpose.
************
“Oh we’re coming Father Abraham, 50,000 strong,
etc. etc.,” the new song recently composed by The Gate
way musicians, looks as though it is going over in a
big way. Over 700 passengers left Seattle Saturday for
Alaska. That’s what the country needs now more than a
good five cent cigar, more people, flat broke or with
the filthy lucre; we care not which.
************
Alaska Legislator Donnelly has a marvelously de
veloped sense of humor. He would make the governor
custodian of $2,500 worth of pigeons. Ha! Ha! Ha!
************
If money is the life-blood of commerce, transporta
toin facilities are the veins and arteries through which
it pulses. This is the sentiment of Representative Cal M.
Brosius, Seward’s own, one of the Territory’s staun
chest more-roads advocates and air-minded citizens.
************
The days of .'98 repeats itself. The first contingent
of 1931 Alaska stampeders are enroute, nearly 700 of
them on the SS Yukon.
