ARE WE EQUAL TO IT?
Regardless of what is happening in the United
States respecting restoration of prosperity, Alaska faces
the task of working out her own salvation. Whatever
prosperity we may hope for must be home-made.
The big task is the selection of the best agency for
the accomplishment of the goal sought.
Leading opinion gravitates to the gold lodes and
placers as the initial point from which to start. A sur
vey of every, angle of economic possibilities warrants
the statement that nothing offers quicker or larger re
turns to capital and labor, or better chances for the man
of small means to acquire independence along with money.
As expressed by Professor Charles Bunnell of the
Alaska College, one of the most brilliant and analytical
minds of Alaska, “The present situation in Alaska is a
paradox. We have the gold and its purchasing power
is way above what it was in 1929 and yet it seems almost
impossible to arouse our own people from their lethargy.
Sometimes it seems to me that most of us are waiting
for something to happen instead of stepping out and
making it happen.” . .
Herein is epitomized the entire situation. And Dr.
Bunnell's brief words carry an overwhelming argument
in support of the,suggestion that it is not somebody
else duty to step out in leadership of the gold renaissance,
but the duty of every individual from the man with noth
ing more that his shovel and pan to the man of means
prepared to back him.
There is sufficient money in the Territory to finance
the primary steps in gold mining.. The utilization of this
money will be an invitation to other and larger capital
to enter the.field. This program, backed by an intensive
campaign of advertising by the Federal, Territorial,
city and town governments will answer the question of
the immediate future of the Golden Itforth.
One cannot blame Premier MacDonald and former
Premier Herriot if they had turned back. They discov
ered that Franklin D. throws a wicked pair of dice.

If the Legislature cannot decide on a beer measure,
why not let the beer-hounds measure it with a yardstick,
step it off, triangulate it, or drink it from the bunghole.

“britched” Uncle Sam’s promise to pay up is destined to
have a tough time “unferitching* it.
