FEDERAL INCONSISTENCIES
A marked contrast is noted in the attitude of the fed
eral government and that of big business—that is those
businesses which do big things—with respect to consoli
dations where this departure becomes necessary to the
success of a given venture.
Acting upon the suggestion of the American Bankers
association, the government allowed the consolidation of
the Great Northern, Northern Pacific and Chicago, Bur
lington and Quincy railroads.
When it comes to dealing with natural resources in
Alaska, such as coal and oil lands under the experiment
of conservation, such, things are not allowed, simply be
cause the federal government is still experimenting in
private business, and trying to secure results through
management recruited from the political field rather than
from the sources where men are trained to fill positions
carrying with them great responsibilities.
The manager of a big railroad is responsible to its
stockholders and must either produce dividends or make
way for someone else. Not so with Uncle Sam. When a
business runs behind he offers an alibi,' levies another as
sessment upon the stockholders and proceeds to bungle
matters as of yore.
In a recent statement by‘Secretary of the Interior
Work he points that the “mineral resources of the Terri
tory have failed to materialize. It was 'claimed that with
adequate transportation facilities new mines in the In
terior of Alaska would be opened and flourish. . . .
Since “mineral” is not confined to precious metals,
but embraces coal and oil, Secretary Work might have
amended his criticism of The Alaska Railroad by pointing
out that the present system under which these minerals
are acquirable and developed lies at the bottom of this re
tarded growth.
Of course, Secretary Work is doing the best he can
with a knotty problem inherited from his predecessors
since Gifford Pinchot put the grip onto Alaska that crush
ed private enterprise and substituted the governmental
experiment of conservation.
When it comes to a parting of the ways, it will be not
ed that the opinion of the American Bankers association
outweighs that of the entire population of an area of 500,
000 square miles, and of a majority of the hundred odd
millions of people of the United States.
When private big business makes a demand on Con
gress they get what they want. When the life of a terri
tory is at stake and the people clamor for relief, they, fig
uratively speaking, receive the answer ascribed to the late j
Jay Gould: “The public be damned!”
Secretary Work can solve The Alaska Railroad prob
lem overnight, if he can persuade Congress to remove the
shackles from coal and oil and give private capital a
chance to proceed along tried and proven economic lines.
No material tonnage will come to The Alaska Rail
road until sufficient area of coal lands, accompanied by a
title, can be consolidated and big capital be allowed to
take hold of a situation which has been fraught with
bungling since the executive order tying up Alaskan re
sources was issued.
A REAL SEWARD THANKSGIVING
For a real Alaska Thanksgiving dinner how about
reindeer haunch roasted, with wild cranberry sauce;
some nice Moose Pass baked potatoes and home-grown
squash. And fresh tomatoes. And lots of other local
grown vegetables. Seward strawberry pie. Hope apple
cider or Seward milk. And Alaska flowers on the Alaska
birchwood table. ^. v
Yes indeed, we have much to be thankful for.
When the Republican and Democratic leaders of the
Senate sit down to their Thanksgiving turkey it would
not be surprising to hear them express a sudden fondness
for the left wing.
SIX PIECE ORCHESTRH
WILL RIIY IT LIBERTY
The winter's special music nights at
the Liberty theater starts tomorrow
with a few selections by a six piece
orchestra. So far as is possible the
Liberty management will secure spe
cial musical numbers for every Thurs
day’s program throughout the winter
as an added attraction for it patrons.
The Thanksgiving program will in
clude a six reel feature and a two
real laugh-making comedy. Tonight
Cecil B. DeMille’s great ten reel sup
er-feature “The Road to Yesterday,”
a wonderful play built on that mys
terious belief, reincarnation, will be
exhibited for the last time. A capa
city house saw this show last night
and came away glad they took the
evening off to see something which is
different.
LOCAL RESTAURANTS BEADY
TO SERVE Ml! PATRONS
Those who have not bpen invited
out to home dinners tomorrow need
not feel overlooked, for the Seward
restaurants have made preparations
for Thanksgiving in that special me
nus will be served, including a variety
fit for a king. Turkey, great, fat
juicy and tender turkeys, roasted to
suit the palate of an epicure, will be
the feature dish tomorrow. What
comes after tomorrow may be a mat
ter for conjecture. However, the
point is, the public in general is as
sured of sumptuous tables which will
fairly groan under the weight of tasty
and specially prepared food.
