According to statements from such masters of in-,
dustry as Henry Ford, heads of the big steel inteiests
and kindred gigantic enterprises, an entirely new code
of business economics has emerged within the past ten
years. Instead of combinations for restraint of output,
suppression of wage increases and cut-throat tactics in
the world markets, business now combines for greater
economics, and the high wage is the secret of creating
additional markets.
Joining in the new economies is the Grand Old Man,1
of the sea, Robbert Dollar, head of the greatest shipping
organization on the Pacific, and still going strong at 84
years of age. Captain Dollar attributes his Oriental
business to a philosophy he began to preach many years
ago: “Do away with pauperized labor, pay a wage
enabling the masses to buy your goods.”
Which recalls that there is nothing new in the phil- ,
osophy; rather it is a belated recognition of that for .
which organized labor, such as the Railway Brother- ■
hoods, Typographical Union and kindred organizations ;
of the American Federation of Labor, have battled for
a half century.
The same philosophy obtained on every frontier
in America, especially in the mining regions, where the \
two-bit piece was the minimum of change.
“A high-priced camp is a good camp,” was the slo-p
gan of those days. Now the master brains of business !
in the United States are standing with their thumbs in jj
their vest-holes and saying “We have discovered a new:1
economic principle that has revolutionized the business ]
world.” (
Which goes to show that Mark Twain was right:
“It is the duty of all men to agitate. They will vote you
down as a fool, but some day you will hit it right or be
recognized and become a hero.”
A CONSISTENT PLUGGER
Capt. O. A. Johansen’s remarks at yesterday’s \
Chamber of Commerce luncheon recalls to mind an i
article published two years ago in one of the largest '
marine periodicals on the Pacific Coast in which this
aggressive Seward mariner supplied an answer to '
“How can a tourist travel of the Atlantic seaboard to
Europe be diverted to the Pacific Coast and Orient.”
Captain Johansen’s response recommended the let
ting of cantracts for the building of 20,000 ton vessels,
the removal of Ripple Rock from Seymour Narrows,
so that liners of this size can safely pass, and creation
of a route from Pacific ports to the Orient via Alas
ka, including calls at Ketchikan, Juneau, Cordova, Se
ward, Kodiak and the Aleutian Islands—a scenic route
that would surpass anything offered by a voyage to
Europe.
There is one thing Alaskans must hand to this
veteran and famous skipper of the North Pacific, which
is his everlasting plugging for the development of the
Pacific Coast and Alaska, particularly the latter.
Captain Johansen ranks along with those other, !
altogether too few, far visioned Alaskans; an energetic I
and stimulating personality.
Railroad men should not complain about autos; i
the locomotive usually wins the bout.
Firm, tender heads of lettuce, to
matoes ripe and fresh, vegetables
