SIGNS OF PROGRESS
Strollers through the local railroad yards recently
counted 17 carloads of sacked coal ready for shipment to
various points of Alaska, including some 600 tons for the
Bureau of Indian Affairs.
This coal came from the Matanuska fields, and each
ton means employment for someone.
What a difference there would have been if some 10
years ago, when the coal fields were in process of pros
pecting, this policy of having the government purchase
Alaska coal wherever possible had been in vogue!
Another happy state of affairs is the tendency of the
canneries to utilize Alaskan coal in preference to the im
ported article.
All that is necessary to eventually bring the price.of
coal to a point where foreign coals may not compete with
Alaskan mines is for a general movement whereby Alas
kans refuse to use any but home-produced coal. Even
though the price is now slightly above that of imported
coal, the difference returns in the employment offered to
labor and the increased volume of trade accruing to the
merchant. A dollar expended for a home-produced pro
duct becomes a revolving dollar, touching many hands.
It is this loyalty to home institutions that Alaska
may work out its own prosperity independent of the
world. The coal now being shipped comes from the Evan
Jones mine, is washed and of the highest grade.
AN ISSUE THAT FLOPPED
Whatever may be the principal issues in the forth
coming national campaign, it is now quite certain that
the “power question” will not be one of them. In spite
of persistent efforts on the part of radical politicians to
create a power issue, they have failed to impress the pub
lic to any appreciable extent.
The reason for their failure is not difficult to find.
During the depression the power and light industry has
more nearly maintained employment and wages at for
mer levels than any other. It has continued to render
efficient service at reasonable rates, and has steadily ex
tended the benefits of that service to the rural population.
The agitation against the electrical industry, and
against all industry for that matter, has originated
chiefly among advocates of the socialistic idea of gov
ernment ownership, an idea which is pretty thoroughly
discredited in this country. As a campaign issue gov
ernment ownership has flopped miserably, and some of
its most ardent advocates have been forced to reluctantly
admit this fact.
As the Industrial News Review recently said: “The
public wants real issues, honestly discussed—and the
greatest spell binder who ever lived can not make more
than a secondary local issue out of power.”
