LOOKING AHEAD
Alaskau progress of the past forecasts the future greatness of
the Northland, and justifies all Alaskans in holding to their firm
faith in the Territory’s possibilities and worth. By aiming high and
working together—actively and steadily—those having to do with Al
askan progress can accomplish much. “Looking Ahead” to still great
er things, and planning and working accordingly, is the one way that
a high purpose can be reaHzed.
The Alaska Railroad—a pioneer system—is gradually and pain
stakingly striding towards a great goal—the greater development of
Alaska; and that the future is bright and promising is attested by
the steady and consistent upward trend of past and present activi
ties. The Alaska Railroad is “Looking Ahead.”

No Negative Side
Commenting on the fact there was
no speaker present to represent the
1 opposition to the measure, Delegate
Sutherland asserted there is no neg
. ative side to the question. It seemed
to be the principal issue before the
legislature and the people of Alaska,
he added. He was glad, if it so re
sulted, that Alaska could come into
the national limelight on the issue.
It is the great issue of curbing
bureaucracy, he said. This question
will be a dominating factor in the
next national campaign and those
who believed otherwise had not fol
lowed the recent course of events.
All great statesmen everywhere are
agreed in their views regarding the
evils springing from the bureaucratic
system of government and the wis
dom of combatting that system.
He quoted freely from Senator
James A. Reed, (Democrat of Miss
ouri) whom he termed “America’s
greatest orator,” read extracts from
the Williamsburg speech of President
Coolidge, characterized by the speak
er as the “most conservative leader”
in the nation, and others, including
a lengthly extract from the speech
of another Democratic Senator about
“milk and cream,” all “on the peck”
against bureaucrats and bureaus.
Parallel to Revolution
The purpose of the Controller Bill,
he declared, was to oppose bureau
cracy in Alaska. This is the thing
which the colonies revolted against
150 years ago and set up “a suppos
edly free government.” That gov
ernment today is in a stage of retro
gression before drive of bureaucracy
which, he pointed out, has caused the
downfall of many governments. It
had its origin in “white Russia”
whose dynasties were established by
the same class and type of people
that inhabit this country.In the end
it brought about the destruction of
the Russian 'Empire, the killing of
Czar Nicholas, “the mildest <5f men”
a trail of bloodshed, suffering and
chaos, tne establishment of commun
ist Russia at a cost of 2,000,000 lives.
Prohibition Bureaucracy
| From Russia the Delegate travel
; ed back to Denmark and Sweden. In
the latter country, he said, some
years ago prohibition became the law
j of the land. It was established on a
! basis identical with that in the Unit-1
ed States and depended for enforce-!
| nient on a bureau. Recently Sweden
I repudated prohibition and went back
i to the liquor business. The Swedes,'
he explained, are a very temporatej
people but are most * liberty-loving i
and they took back the demon rum'
just, to abolish the greater monsterj
of bureaucracy which was fastened J
on them by prohibition. And, he as- ,•
sorted, so will this nation, if it ever j
does repudiate prohibition, it will be |
to rid itself of what Senotor Reed:
termed! the spies, snoopers, etc., of;
bureaucracy.
Opposed By Sycophants
Sycophants, descendants of Tories j
ot Revolutionary days, sons of some j
Latin race, are those who oppose the ;
Controller Bill, argued the Delegate,
after a passing discussion of the psy
chology of sycophancy. Cringing
fellows, subservient to their super
iors, favor-seeking, cruel to their in
feriors, as they fail to accept the gos
pel of self-government as revealed in
the epoch-making measure fathered
by Senator Steel.
The ideal democratic government
was set up in America long before
the Revolution. It was brought over
from England and was that form
which was found in the New England
town meeting, Mr. Sutherland pointed
out, He described the procedure
used in these meetings and asserted
it was this sort of Government that
Congress intended the people of
Alaska to set up at the time the Or
ganic Act was passed. Instead of
doing that, Alaskan legislatures had
given back all this power to Wash
ington.
He asserted the interests of thg
Territory had suffered from this, ow
ing to the fact that Federally ap
pointed officials ih whom authority
to act on Territorial questions was
also Tested always sided -with the
Federal interests when a clash arose
between the two. He cited his. fight
against Secretary Hoover and the
Bureau of Fisheries as an instance of
