WHY MR. FREE’S SPLEEN?
In a recent discussion of the halibut treaty and its enforcement in
Alaska, Representative Arthur M. Free, Republican of California, said
that there would be no forfeitures of vessels in Alaska, because "I have
been in Alaska and I have seen and know what goes on up there.”
Therefore he recommended that all cases arising out of arrests for vio
lations be sent to San Diego for trial.
Something must have disagreed with Mr. Free’s stomach while mak
ing his brief visit to Alaska. In that short time, as a tourist, seeing the
country from a Pullman car window, he gathered sufficient information
to cause him to recommend that The Alaska Railroad be discontinued,
along with a suggestion that the roadbed be converted into an automo
bile road.
A search of records fails to disclose facta supporting the Congress
man's intimation that Alaskan juries do not convict. On .the other hand,
if anything, they are stricter than the average jury of the States.
Whether it is this knowledge or the fact that Alaska is known to be
more free from crime than any portion of United States possessions,
there have been few" crimes of violence, save those among natives who :
have fallen into the clutches of the bootlegger and were crazed by
liquor.
There have been but two bank holdups in 12 years, in one of which i
the cashier did not stand and take, but shot down his man. Of homicides j
among the whites, they do not exceed a half-dozen.
But possibly Mr. Free is committed to the idea of abolishing jury
trials altogether in Alaska. It would be in line with the withdrawing
of other hitherto accepted American rights, such as are now permitted
under the prohibition and game laws, which allow search without war
rant. It is in line with one-man mandatory administration of fisheries
and other laws, wherein the bill of rights have been superceded by a
system equivalent to the feudal days of Europe.
If Mr. Free is as assiduous in keeping his own native heath in order
—and judged by press dispatches it needs ordering—as Alaskans are in
maintaining what appears to be the only fundamentally American area
of the nation, the words “Crime Waves” will disappear from the front
page of the big metropolitan dailies.
In a mine investigation in South Africa testimony was taken 7,000
feet underground. Which was getting at the bottom of the matter.
Stroller’s Weekly complains that the Forestry Department erected
a steel bridge near Seward, for which the town should be duly grateful.
Which it is. But what upsets Stroller’s arcadian perspective is the fact
that the bridge will remain put and not have to be rebuilt every few
years thus eating up road appropriations. It must have disconcerted
them materially when a permanent capitol building was erected in
Juneau.
The first fiction is said to have been written 32 centuries ago. But
radio comedians often tell jokes which are much older.
More young women suffer from goiter, says a specialist. Possibly
an occupational disease resulting from necking parties.
Otis Skinner complains that “America is a Vocal Jungle.” In other
words, suiting the punishment to the crime.
