STANDING IN ITS OWN SHADOW
While Tacoma has been bending its energies in an effort to serve
a purely sentimental end. namely the changing of the name of Mount
Rainier to Mount Tacoma. Seattle has been snickering in its sleeve and
picking the plums from Alaska. These plums are represented in a $31,
000,000 import market, the bulk of which goes to or thru Seattle busi- .
ness channels. . >
Tacoma posses every transportation advantage enjoyed by Seattle,
and raw materials from which to draw its manufactured articles such 1
as are represented in the annual trade volume flowing into Alaska.
The time is now ripe for Tacoma to take its traditional revenge
upon the Puget Sound metropolis by contesting this field. The most
potent gesture it could make would be to take an interest in Alaskan :
resources, help develop its mines and other industries and translate
its childish sentiment respecting Mount Rainier into terms of commer- I
cial sentiment calculated to widen its borders and stimulate its growth
into something akin to that of Seattle.
Since one comes to look at the question squarely, Seattle has no sen
timental claim upon Alaska. Practically all money being employed in
developing the Territory comes from other points, principally Califor- !
r.ia and the East. .
Alaska has the right to demand something in return for its $31,- !
000,300 trade volume, and is prepared to divert it to those points which
go farthest in assisting her in her development.
Why does not Tacoma dispatch its own solicitors to call personally j
upon Alaska merchants? About 70 each year'are sent North from Seat
tle! Why have Tacoma's civic organizations not endeavored to get into
closer contact with those of Alaska, learn of its markets and opportuni
ties for profitable investment of its surplus capital? There is mining,
coal, cottonwood and birch, cold storage and reindeer, farmlands and
canneries, all awaiting capital, the first three being an exceptionally
inviting field.
Alaska gave Seattle its start. It can become the agency thru which
Tacoma can finish its development and share the glory of the North
As the Democrats see it this should be a government of, for and
by the people, instead of a government for a gang of high-toned thieves
and silk-stocking thugs.
Sourdough Bill, Alaskan philosopher, says life up here began in hot j |
water. And it’s been in it ever since. I
