PLANT TREES
This season will witness the most extensive tree
planting campaign that the United States has ever seen.
Towns and communities throughout the land will
stress the importance of planting trees and contem
plated projects involve the planting of thousands of trees.
Civic organizations are starting movements to add
to the beauty of their cities by planting trees, the Gate
way has long been an advocate of this movement
and would like to see some local organization emulate
other progressive towns and cities.
CONSTRUCTIVE MEASURES
A measure aimed to give Alaska mining parity with
that of any State in the Union; a memorial asking Con
gress for additional engineers for the Alaska field of the
Geological Survey; and another measure asking the
Territorial legislature for $5,000 for the All-Alaska
Chamber of Commerce, for publicity purposes. Of each
and every one of these The Gateway has long been an
ardent advocate.
And in the Territorial legislative halls Wednesday
they were presented in both Houses. The day previous
a definite move was advanced toward repealing the
Alaska Bone Dry law; another item on The Gateway
platform.
We would say they are now beginning to make real
“medicine” down at Juneau.
BETTER TIMES AHEAD
With commodity prices at bargain levels and great
new reserves of savings piled up by bank depositors
throughout the country, it will not be long before they
will begin to withdraw at least part of these funds for
purchases they can no longer postpone.
The program this country went through in 1921
will be re-enacted. We can expect unemployment to
wane as purchasing power waxes. Production and dis
tribution also will.gain.
Reports from Delegate Wickersham’s office at
Washington, D. C., are vastly encouraging with res
pect to the proposed William Henry Seward Memorial.
The $400,000 maginificent monument and museum idea
is coming along fine, it is said, and the bill will be pre
sented to Congress, fpr the second time, at the Decem
ber session. Delegate wickersham is to present it then.
An architects’ drawing of the beautiful edifice may be
seen in the local office of the Alaska Transfer.
With a few more energetic business men and coal
operators like Z. J. Loussac and Oscar Anderson, the
Alaska coal industry would get some where.
The doctors in a Yale class under investigation are
making half as much as the men who are selling some
thing. An auto salesman can take back a partly paid for
car, but what can a doctor do with a sawed-off leg, if his
bill is not met?
What this country really needs is men who can fill
small positions of public trust with honor and fidelity.
There are any number who are willing to be “great” in
high office.
Buy it in Seward is not a hick motto, regardless of
what some of the smart boys may think

Association
Seward Gateway:—
“I wish to solicit your help to
have a bill passed to establish a
Territorial hospital at Seward, at j
this session of the legilature.
“It is something very badly
needed in this part of Alaska by
men, women and children. We
have a government hospital here
in Anchorage but it takes money
and lots of it to get treatment
there and if you have no money
you are out of luck. You also
must put up a cash deposit be
fore one can enter its doors for
treatment.
‘I hope you will take this up
and write your legislator from
from Seward to introduce this
bill. I have written three letters
to one of the legislators from the
Third division but I am only a
small “fry” and must have help
to put this over.
“The people here in Anchorage
want a poor house for men and
women. I don't believe in poor
houses; I am an Eagle and be
lieve in old age pensions. I am
also inclosing part of the letter
I received in reply from this leg
islator.
“So thanking you,”
George Wagner, Anchorage
MM
The legislator’s letter to Mr.
Wagner, in part:
“I thank you very much for
your advice on the proposed new
Pioneers' Home and I quite agree
with you that the Old Age Pen
sion is much better than the poor
house. But some place will have
to be maintained for the oldtim
ers who need hospital treatment
land about the only way that can
be done is in a home such as the
present Pioneers’ Home at Sitka.
Nearly all of the men there need
hospitalization and it would be
very difficult to furnish them
treatment if they were scattered
all over the Territory. Of course,
if a man can wait on himself he
ought not be required or even
permitted t-o go to such an insti
tution.”
A total of $40,409.97 was spent
during the year ending April 1
on various improvements in Ket
! chikan, according to the Ketchi
i kan Chronicle. About $20,000 of
{the total went to wages for those
j employed by the city.
