TOO MANY COOKS
Alaskans will watch with keen interest the pro- |
nouncement by the new Secretary of the Interior, Mr.
Wilbur, with respect to his policy in Alaska. Especially
is this interest whetted at this time by the dispatching to >
the Territory of an empire builder to manage the Alas- '
ka Railroad. Though filling but an interim term, Secre
tary Roy West. Mr. Wilbur’s predecessor, went farther
than any secretary of the interior since Lane in redeem-!
ing pledges and rendering unto Alaska that which;
was Alaska’s. Will Mr. Wilbur continue these policies
with respect to giving General Manager Otto F. Ohlson
broader powers and greater leeway in shaping the the
destiny of the railroad?
Those close to Mr. Ohlson know wdiat is in his mind
with regard to the exingencies of the situations. Already
he has ventured to reveal a part of his program by start
ing the creation of a development board.
To those who consider The Alaska Railroad some- ,
thing more than a mere source of revenue to trade, are
found fully in harmony with Mr. Ohlson and his aims.
Unless some such business policy is carried out, there
wall remain continued uncertainty, not only to business,
but as to the future of the railroad. Two conditions op
pose themselves—one considering a policy that will as
sist in developing the natural resources along the rail
road, and the other smothered in academic hokum with;
respect to “future,” and calling for biennial switches of i
procedure, with the bromidal statements usually accom-!
panying the advent of a new manager, that “something j
will be done.”
In the present instance, Colonel Ohlson appears to \
know- what should be done; agreeing with him are the
heads of other departments functioning in Alaska.,
Where he has differed from others is in his actions. He ’
has not indulged in words; he has committed acts;—acts
that are in harmony with the soundest business policy ;
of any great railroad system.
If Secretary Wilbur will back Colonel Ohlson in his j
program there is no question of the ultimate result.
While the outlook was never brighter, there is still
a cloud hovering over 1 he horizon. Will bureaucratic I
jealousies, and overlapping of authorities ; r - , feat
the aims sought?
The best brains of the nation—even lb e. blent
Hoover, who is accorded an engineer of economies as
well as mining—cannot win if it is the purpose of the
federal government t-o rob him of initiative and thereby
nullify the principles of business.
It is hoped Manager Ohlson will be given a free hand,
and instead of being subject to the theories and whims of
bureaucratic heads, such as have characterized previous
managements, he will be fortified in his position and per- j
mitted to cany out the task he has assigned himself.
George Elliott of St. Paul was filled with great joy i
upon discovering that an old trunk he had bought for $2!
at an auction contained 22 bottles of real pre-war liquor.1
But his joy turned to grief when burglars broke into '
his home that night and carried away 20 of the bottles. |'
