A VISION REALIZED
e We locked at a picture recently, a picture entitled “A
A ision Realized,” published by the Great Northern Rail
road and showing one of their antiquated trains shadow
ed by one of their latest, and in the right-hand corner,
a photograph of that greatest of American Empire
Builders, the late James J. Hill. His great dream realized.
In looking at that picture we wondered and tried to
imagine Jim Hill buying ties or, for that matter, any
supplies or materials from beyond the territory tributary
to his railroad. We wondered and tried to imagine the
Great Northern managed along the lines and policy that
have prevailed on the Alaska Railroad for the last 10
years; the first years of its existence.
We tried and all we could visualize were receiver
ships and failure.
Not only the Great Northern but every railroad in
the country, as a natter of good business, gives prefer
ence in all their purchases to those who by circumstances
and geographic location are dependent and are patrons
of the system.
Just an instance how far up-to-date railroads will go
along these lines: The Southern Pacific, some years ago,
found that the eucalyptus tree in Southern California will
grow fast enough to make two tie trees in from 25 to 30
years. They immediately arranged to distribute seedlings
to the farmers along the right-of-way and assisted them
m every way to pur, their ground to eucalyptus and pro
duce a crop of hewed ties for their road.
However, those railroads are run for profit, not for
politics, records or experiment.
HOW TIMES CHANGE!
About the year 1880 theatrical dramatic themes re
volved about. “Irish Evictions.” Audiences w^ent home
mopping tearful eyes, then read again the American De
claration of Independence and vowed to help Ireland free
itself of landlords.
A few days ago an eviction order was served upon a
midwestern farmer. Performing the worthy function
was a small array of process servers armed with revol
vers, rifles, machine guns and tear-gas bombs. All these
were used in the ejection while little children cowered be
neath tables and shivered in fear.
All of which obviously will give the children a close
up of the glories of American institutions, and the gang
sters of the big cities a hearty laugh.
The least Ireland could do in its renaissance is to set
Bernard Shaw to work reciprocating America’s dramatic
contribution. Shaw could do better than the earlier dram
atists who had neither machine guns, automatics or bombs.;
HISTORY REPEATS
‘‘The King was surrounded with everything that
could awe and charm the people. Extraordinary magni
ficence and splendor removed him from the common peo
ple. He gave audience seated on a golden throne covered
with a purpie canopy which was supported by pillars glit
tering with precious stones.His rule was absolute,
but he worked thru a large body of trusted officials, large
ly taken from the priests.
“The peasants tilled the rich land in misery. ... In a
poor year, this left them in debt for seed and living. The
creditor could charge exorbitant interest; and if not paid,
he could levy not only upon the debtor’s small goods, but
also upon his wife cr child, or upon the person the farmer1
himself, for slavery. . . .
“The wealthy class includes land owners, officials,
professional men, money lenders and merchants. . . .
“Wealth counted for more, and birth for less. There
were really only two classes—rich and poor. ...”
No, we are not writing about the present adminis
tration, but quoting a few paragraphs of authentic his
tory contemporaneous with Babylonian glory under Neb
uchadnezzar.
_
You have got to give the Vice-President credit for be
ing frank. Records show that he declared himself an “in
competent Indian.” Time appears to have given this proof.
Vice-President Curtis cut a representative of the
“hunger-marchers” short when he started to say that
‘ they did not expect him to grant their request.” Possi
bly the Vice-President was afraid the hungeree was going
to say something about Mr. Curtis declaring himself an
incompetent Indian and thus escaping taxes on a big piece
of land in the Choctaw holdings.
Poaching on ye kings domain in ye olden days oft
hrot death to ye poacher. Nowadays poaching on ye
kings lands in Alaska brings ye a fine and ye hoozegow.
