“BAKSHEESHEE! FOR THE LOVE OF ALLAH!”
Who, in the conception of our boasted modern civili
zation would have been so bold as to have predicted that
the cry of the falaheen of India would ring thru the land
of the free, the home of the brave?
And who would have had the courage to predict that
the promised land, so rich in the things necessary to
man’s well-being, would, in this year of our Lord 1933,
prove a “garden in which things stale and musty possess
it ever.”
Yet history teems with similar epochs dating back
to the oldest known chronicles to even recent times.
The first of such conditions of which we have writ
ten record, is reported in Genesis in connection with the
sale of Joseph by his brethren, only in turn to be sold by
Joseph to Pharoah. The seven fat years of Pharoah’s
dream and the seven lean ones to follow were prophesies
based upon a knowledge of humanity.
Bike the ancient Hebrews and Egyptians, the pop
ulation was profligate in the years of plenty. The shrewd
men, armed with the historical background of the day
.ook pains to encourage profligacy; great cities were
0Ullt! and the people Hocked thereto; ultra-intellectualism
supplanted the homespun philosophies of the sages.
Joseph found a solution by first taking the money
men the land, the cattle and finally the bondage of the
people in return for bread. No encouragement was offer
ed those who sought to quit the urban centers and return
o the primitive for sustenance. To a degree the same at
titude is being maintained respecting the people of the
nation. Those who have builded great cities desire to hold
their citizenry_so long as they may be made to produce
-hat the possessors may amass greater hoards of money.
ureJnt-dnlr,t|1]1ra^ °5ithe chains which have held the
»f t-l-m u i JU >1C 111 1 ™ same state of bondage as that
f the Hebrews under Pharoah has come with the trek
ot the goid-seekers back to precincts where Nature had
yieldeo to their wooing Evidence of this fact is shown in
;!oeriep0.rt ()f. ^alter W. Bradley, state mineralogist of
uUifoima, who says that thousands of gold-seekers of
ooth sexes, who moved thru California' the past vear
t0°k approximately one million dollars from the soil.
r , Ut Brac Iey forgets himself or designedly seeks
° keep the gold-seeker in California when he makes the
additional statement that “Although there are no longer
any traeesin the Alaskan fields or the Black Hills area
ot bouth Dakota, the government is continuing to make
surveys on the theory that rich veins may still be uncov
ered in these regions.”
Between the lines one gains a glimpse of the sordid!
selfishness which is responsible for the present condition |
m the nation. California wants to retain its productive!
population that the non-producer may fatten. The same I
has applied in the attitude of the press of all big cities in j
an effort to stem the tide of desertion by those who have i
been despoiled. v \
Mining has been the target for the inspired press j
lest it serve as an agency for emancipating man from thej
clutches of the exploiter with highly-illuminated schemes. |
But there are some things more potent than ballyhoo !
and beating of drums under the guise of the “high stan-1
dard of living.” They are grim necessity. Pitv is that more
people cannot grasp the idea and work out their own sal-1
vation independent of the self-appointed guardians of
the big bee-hive cities. ,
Perhaps the most serious menace to a carrying out j
of the recovery project as planned, lies in the fact that;
it is hard to convince a person that he should help a move- j
ment at a time when he may not think it best for him to j
do so. What will Congress do when it reassembles and as-!
sumes its prerogatives? Incidentally, the seriously cons
cientious objectors have not been heard from at all, up to ;
the present date., and their strength has not been calcu
lated.
Sourdough Bill wants to know why they want re
peal? Isn’t the present hard likker hard enuff on gizzards?
The mistakes of yesterday must not blind us to the
tasks of today.
Traveler Finds
People a Little more
Optimistic, Usual
One of Alaska’s most energetic
of continuous travelers, George An
derson, prominent business man of
Juneau and piano tuner of Terri
torial renown, has returned to this
city from a round-trip to the Far
Westward and, for a few days, will!
be at the Van Gilder hotel.
But aside from his artistic abili
ties which have long been recog
nized, it is interesting to note the
observations made by Mr. Ander
son, who, previous to going West,
covered the vast Interior areas, in
cluding Yukon river points.
“As a whole, I found conditions
exceptionally good,” Mr. Anderson
said, “and people seemed to be
considerably more optimistic than
when last I had visited their local
ities. There are few people left on
the shores of the mighty Yukon,
which i traversed in a small boat,
due to lack of steamer service.
Dawson is still a good camp, and
Fairbanks and Anchorage appear
ed prosperous. The Westward is a
grand country and its potential re- j
sources, unquestionably, are amaz- I
ing.” j
Mr. Anderson has made so many
trips down the Yukon—not always
in a small boat, however, as was
his journey this year—that he has
lost count, but each succeeding one
holds just as many thrills as the
first, he said.
SANAK NEWS
(By special correspondent)
School was started September 15
with an enx'ollment of 11 children
which is one less than last year.!
The children were greeted with a ,
nice, clean, white schoolhouse, as 1
the teacher’s quarters—Ernest
E. Bailey—and the school building,
had received a coat of paint, which
made everything much nicer. i
* * * *
The motorship Expansion, Capt. j ■
Carl E. Anderson, arrived in San
ak September 18 after a stormy 1
trip from Seattle.
The population of Sanak was in- j
creased by four following the ar- i
rival of the MS Expansion as Mr. J
Carlson’s two daughters. Miss Nel
lie Carlson and Mrs. Lewis Moses,!
and two sons, took passage from
Seattle. They arrived at Seattle af- j
ter a bus trip from Santa Cruz, i
Calif., where they had been living j .
for the last 10 years.
The salmon run in the waters;
adjacent to the island has been i
normal and most of the people j
salting salmon have been able to j
fill all the barrels they had pur- j
chased for that purpose.
