CONSISTENCY?
Recently the San Juan Fishing Company shipped 38
tons of coal from Seattle tor use on their SS Starr.
Colonel O. F. Ohlsmi, general manager of the Alaska
Railroad wrote a letter to the Seward Chamber of Com
merce asking that organization to protest to the San Juan
Fishing Company and to use their influence with that
firm to use Alaska coal in Alaska. TheColoneks action 1
was commendable showing that he is looking out for the!
interests of the railroad and local industries.
But now comes the report that the Alaska Railroad,
contemplates purchasing ties in the States even though
it has proven proven beyond reasonable doubt that our
tie timber is equal if not superior to Outside ties.
The argument that creosoted lies can be bought as
cheap as native ties end are more serviceable is disputed
by railroad officials in the States; they confine the use
of creosoted ties to localities where wood-destroying in
sects are prevalent; such as ants.
Creosote being a strong acid substance has been
found to be very hard on steel rails and further creosot
ing does not prevent splitting to which sawed fir ties
are subject, particularly in freezing temperatures.
We believe that coal imports are just as detrimental
to the development of Alaska as tie imports and to be
consistent tne railroad should at least purchase local mat
terial wherever possible before complaining about oth
ers importing material and supplies which can be obtain
ed eqaully as good, if not better, in the Territory.
IS SECRETARY WILBUR SINCERE
“The American people are losing their position of in
dependence through permitting too much national gov
ernment in the handling of their problems.this idea
of centralization must be broken down if America is to
continue to occupy its place in world affairs.” Secretary
of the Interior Ray Lyman Wilbur.
With respect to the entire statement there can be no
argument as far as government goes. But is Mr. Wilbur
prepared to deliver a similar phillipic respecting central
ization of wealth? If so, how does he explain that Presi
dent Hoover and his cabinet supported this concentration
of wealth and fostered it by opening the treasury to big
business and refusing to consider the millions of hungry
and jobless? The idea rings with a note of Toryism which
has caused such astounding exodus of former consistent
Republicans from the G. O. P. banner.
Centralization and bureaucracy cannot be laid at the
door of any one party, for both are equally guilty.
But it is a significant fact that in the 12 years the G.
O. P. occupied the throne the greatest oligarchy of
wealth ever created in the United States took over the
reins of government.
It may be said for Pr esident Hoover that he sought
and obtained the pledge of big business to come to his as
sistance in the hour of national depression. Like Judas
they delivered a kiss and walked away.
This may go far to explain why such orthodox news
papers as the Port'and Oregonian reiterates its loyalty
to President Hoover, but repudiates the G. 0. P.
One may quote Patrick Henry not without fear of
branded red: ‘‘Caesar had his Brutus, George 1, his
Cromwell; etc.”
Since it is bad form and against custom to take these
extreme measures, a world of speculation is opened as to
the pacific course which much be taken to bring these
traitors to the G. 0. P. to their senses. Already they have
branded Franklin D. Roosevelt a red. Which means that
all those who voted his party ticket are branded with the
same alleged stigma.
It remains to be seen wrhether he is yellow..
THE KERNEL IN THE NUT
“There is no sense in railing at America, or expecting
her to take her proper position in the world, unless each
of us citizens makes an effort to make his own life worth
while on a basis of values which are not wholly material,
and strives to make the life of the nation truly great and
not merely a standard of living at so many ‘thousand a
year.”—James Thurlow Adams, in Scribner’s.
If all else fails the remnant of the G. 0. P. might or
ganize a rival to the Alaska Pioneers, with all respect tc
the latter, and assure their future.
In going to great expense in fitting up a special rooir
for Governors of Territories visiting Washington some
thing new in furniture has been provided. A brass rai
with rubber nonskid tread encircles each desk to guarc
against heels slipping off when the occupant of the over
stuffed chair dozes.
The Ladies Aid will hold its
Christmas Bazaar in the Social
room of the Community Church on
Thursday, December 1. They will
have for sale many suitable articles
suitable for Christmas gifts and
invite the people of Seward to
come and see the display.
The sale will open at 11 a. m. A
luncheon will be served at noon,
making it oossible for people who
are busy the rest of the day to
have lunch and attend the Bazaar.
Baked beans, hot rolls, coffee, jelly
and cake will be served for 35c.
There will be booths featuring
aprons, fancy work, novelties, can
dy, baby things, “white elephants,”
etc.
Meet your friends at the Bazaar.
