THE CHECHAKO
The early days of the United States had the word
“tenderfoot.” It conveyed a dual significance—a new
comer and an epithet designating scorn. In either case
it was the medium 01 stultifying one's ego by setting up
a sort of superiority.
Like those primitive regions. Alaska has outgrown
its “ehechako,” unless there are those who believe they
have a patent right to the Territory and that the new
comer is an interloper.
Unfortunately, like the prairie V/cst, there are those
who wish to cling to Arcadian existence and resent the
coming of the bigger things and their greater comforts.
There is an social rule which forbids insulting the
guest wthin the house.
One docs not make friends by greeting them with
scorn, but by extending the hand of fellowship, and if he
has anything calculated to add to progress, show eager
ness to accept it.
It is the merchant who greets his customer at the
door with a smile and welcome who sells goods.
It w-ob’es 10 communities as well as business houses.
JOKERS IN PHILIPPINE INDEPENDENCE
If the Filipinos fan to display enthusiasm over the
brand of independence accorded them, it should be set
down to their intelligence rather than to ingratitude.
Among the clauses filled with Will Rogers and The
Baron is that pertaining to admission of refined sugar
under a quota of o0.G‘00 long tons, i his sugar “shall be
allocated to the sugar-producing mills of the Islands pro
portionately on the basis of their average annual pro
duction for the calendar years 1931, 1932 and 1933, and
the amount of sugar which should be thus exported shall
be allocated each year between the mill and the planters
on the basis of the proportion of sugar to which the mill
and the planters are respectively entitled.”
It took us ’steen hours to dope out what in heck they
vvere talking about.
Thus the Fiiininos are called upon to set up and
maintain a monopoly for a small group of American sug
ar daddies—pardon—mill owners, no new mills or new
growers being permitted!
Respecting immigration from the Philippines to
Fawaii/“such immigration shall bo determined by the
Department of the Interior on the.basis of needs of in
dustries in the Territory of Hawaii.
If the Hawaiian laborers decide to resist, a beggarly
wage all the suga1' barons need to do is to whisper in the
ear" of the Secretary cf the Interior and have enough
strike-breakers brought in to show the Hawaiians where
thev get off.
' And this in advance of the call for the Filipinos to
summon delegate'- to r. constitutional convention!
The only thing overlooked was the application of con
servation as it is saddled upon Alaska.
Now a college professor suggests adopting an electric
dollar. Too late, it’s been in circulation for three years—
the mere sight of one electrifies its beholder.
Representative McDowell, speaking before Congress,
said: “Mineral values, rather than agricultural values in
the public domain, are becoming the dominant factor.”
An Eastern Professor says but for the serpent in the
Garden of Eden we hi be “naked, ignorant and happy.”
Well we’re making progress; already we have reached
mile two.
Nothing further could electrify Greece now that
she is Insullated.
The airplane for prospecting.
That is the verdict of Chas. L.
Plumb, who with F. Walters con
stitutes the Arctic Airways and
who, with Pilot John W. Moore,
Saturday afternoon set down their
plane on the Seward Airport to
take a look over the situation with
a view to basing their plane here |
permanently.
The plane, a Travelair with
Wright-Whirlwind engine, is one
acquired recently, is a neat little
craft of bi-plane construction with
lots of speed.
During the present season Pilot
Moore has been engaged in spe
cial charter work and in flying
mail to Bristol Bay, and came to
the Territory last summer, being j
remembered as the young adven- |
turer who, with a companion, made \
the trip from Seattle to Fair
banks in a 16-foot power boat.
Pilot Moore has been flying for
seven years but has been associat
ed with aeronautics since he was
14 years of age. During his brief,
time in the Northland he has prac- J
tically mastered all of the air- i
routes radiating from the Rail!
Belt.
"It was an idea born of exper- j
ience which prompted me to go
into the airplane business.* said
Mr. Plumb. “Four years ago I
tried prospecting. but found I
could not get around the country
as I could wish. I also found that
a man could not support a family
on the short summer work availa
ble, and after various jobs I bought
a plane.
"I look for a tremendous revival
of prospecting and mining next
' summer and have proved that the
air plane is the cheapest and most
convenient method of exploration.
As the volume of business increas
; es the airplane will come within
' the reach of everyone through re
i duetion in costs of travel, and once
prospectors are back in the hills
Alaska will see a great mining
boom.’’
Pilot Moore belongs to that
group of fliers who have made
Alaskan air history, having been
grouped with A1 Monson and Har
ry Blunt in Oakland. Calif., when
! all were shedding their pinfeath
| ers and growing wings.
Pilots Moore and Plumb, carry
ing one passenger for the lower
Kenai river country, took-off from
the Seward Airport Sunday after
i noon. It is their intention, for the
j next few weeks, to be in Seward
I upon s^amer days.
