STABILIZE ALASKA BANKING
The first hint anyone has received that Alaskan
banks are not functioning normally and no movement
has been made to indicate a lack of public confidence,
comes from the Legislature, where Senator Hess has in
troduced a bill like those passed in most states permitt
ing the Beard of Control to declare bank holidays.
This appears to be more of a question of becoming
fashionable and adopting a fad than one of necessity.
With no bank failures for 15 years, and no evidence j
of any bank being in difficulties, if the natives in the,
Philippines may keep their banks open, why not Alaska?
Alaskan banks have long enjoyed the confidence of
the public because their owners are, for the most part
composed of men who have grown up with tne Territory
and who have never detached themselves from the trad
itions of the frontier. They are as much a part and par
cel of the daily intimacy of man to man as any business
or social denurture.
This condition is reflected in almost every line of
commercial endeavor where business failures which ex
ceed a thousand dollars are almost unknown.
It is alright to respond to fashions, but there are •
times when individuality such as we enjoy does not wan I
rant substitute. •
The best thing for Alaska is to go right along on her
own resources, minding her own business and working
out he1’ salvation detached from the evils which have test
ed the nation to its foundation.
Let u* begin to show* the parent nation that we have
grown up and no longer need a nursing bottle.
Strollers Weekly, iecling called upon to hold a brief for the Gov
ernor and to take another crack at Seward and The Gateway editor,
says: “To be around the Governor and glimpse his steadfast atten
tion to business and his perfection of detail would revise anyone’s
notion of Ids efficiency.” The last, word is well chosen. Like Mr. Hoov
er. there is too much detail and efficiency and too little action and Je
suits. As for the intentions, the—Legislature—is paved with ’em.
A Nome man has been sued for divorce by a poetess
who asks alimony. This is. the first news received of
what appears to be a new big strike.
The Chinese complain that the Japanese are chang
ing the names of their towns. From trying to read some
ofthem we can understand the effectiveness of Japan
ese artillery fire.
Since the belligerants are getting nowhere with Je
hoi they might try Hawhol.
Representative O’Connor of New \ork wants the
government to take over and run all banks. What the
country needs is less running on banks.
Even the best of friends must park.
