ALASKA PRODUCED GOODS
The real Alaskan is in many ways a peculiar animal.
He turns up funny facets of his character in the most un
expected manner.
In his general relations with his fellow men he is
wholesouled, open handed, carefree, hootin’ tootin’ ga
loot, ready to fight for a friend or a stranger and taunt
ingly sarcastic of any son of a sea cook who tries to save
his nickles or two-bit pieces. You’d never see him ‘Dick
Smithing” it at the bar; Oh no! It was always, “Come on
boys, let’s all tip one over upon the alter of friendship,
and damn the expense.”
But take that same high-flying bird, now, for in
stance and snake him up to a counter where he’s got to
make a choice between buying a potato grown in Alaska,
or a ton of Alaska coal as against some Outside product
at a lesser cost you’ll be dab-nabbed if he don’t take the
cheaper.
The poor, misguided horned toad, as they say in Ariz
ona. will holler his head off if you don’t want to drink
with him, God forbid, but he hasn’t a thought in his care
free headpiece about helping out his fellowman in Alas
ka by buying the results of that man’s labor even if it
happens to cost him a little more. He can’t be bothered
arguing with a taxi driver and he throws dollars to the
bell hop with a careless gesture, but he’ll dicker-like a
Piute over an egg or a potato.
There’s a glimmering germ of a thought in all this.
If Alaskans would cultivate the habit of demanding Alas
ka-nrodueed goods thev would surely start something.
Tt might cast them a little more—not in many cases—but
thev wonVI get that back in the added prosperity they
would ■'ring to their community, section or Territory
as a whole.
We’ve told this story many times before; the growth
of Alaska is in the hands of Alaskans, themselves.
When the politicians speak of “the people” they
mean those millions of us who have a whole lot of peep
but very little pull.
We suspect that the Senate also has in mind some
reservations with respect to the Ten Commandments.
