GIVE THE BOY A HAND? NOT CHICAGO!
Once more the Chicago Tribune takes a dirty wal
lop at the Alaska Railroad this time centering their at
tack on the alleged “industrial slump despite the railroad.’’
The salmon fisheries show a falling off, they say, but
fail to point out restrictions and curtailment by the gov
ernment may have had something to do with this produc
tion.
The paper takes its figures this time from Governor
Parks annual report to which it refers to, in part: “In
stead of the constantly expanding commerce predicted
by those who caused Congress to finance the COSTLY
(the caps are ours) Alaska Railroad project, there was
another slump in industrial activity in the territory in
the last fiscal year.”
That’s a broad statement and we take exception to
it charging the Tribune with unfairness to Alaska for
again they fail to show its readers the other side of
Alaska’s balance sheet.
The Tribune should preserve their editorial attacks
on Alaska in either The Art Institute of Chicago, or their
Haskell Oriental Museum of the University of Chicago,
so that they may view how foolish their propoganda was,
in the future years of Alaska’s expansion.
And, in the meantime, we note they are still
throwing “iron pine-apples” in dear old Chicago, while
up here in the cruel, cruel North country, we are living
the life of “Riley.’’
When someone imported a shipment of fishballs re
cently custom officials wer euncertain as to whether
they were subject to duty. Washington authorities, af
ter an investigation, gravely ruled that duty at the rate
of 25 per cent ad valorem would b eabout right.
LOSERS REALLY WON
An interesting comparison of conditions in France
and Germany was made recently by Senator Borah, in
which he declared that Germany, loser of the war, is much
better off than France, the supposed victor.
He pointed out that by being deprived of an army
and navy. Germany is saved this expense of keeping up
these establishments, therefore is making progress to
ward economic stability in spite of the large payments
required of her under the Dawes plan.
Good mines are scarce and that is what keeps metal
prices at high levels. Gold and silver is growing in world
wide demand and this means that greater amounts of
money will be invested in mining. The future of the min
ing industry is indeed very bright.
MORE AIRPORTS
Growing interest in commercial aviation is evidenc
ed by recent large municipal bond issues for airports, of
which that of Detroit is a conspicuous example. That city
voted a $5,000,000 issue by a large majority of 100,000.
Several other cities have provided for airports at
costs ranging from $1,000,000 to $3,000,000 among the
largest of which will be located at Kansas City, Cleveland,
Columbus and Chattanooga. Scores of other cities have
made liberal provision for airports sufficiently exten
sive for their needs.
Not that Seward should float a bond for this pur
pose but it has been said that the city of the future that
does not possess an airport will be as far behind the times
as one without a railroad station.
The approach to Easy street is easily recognized by
the discarded illusions along the wav, says the pioneer.
