THE VALUE OF RAILROADS
Ill a recent copy of the Review of Reviews, Howard
Elliott, chairman of the Northern Pacific Railway Co.,
writes:
“The great Northwest with 629,840 square miles and
7,723,000 people—not quiet one-fifth of the continent of
the United States, but with about one-fiftienth of the pop
ulation—is economically important to the country in
many ways. From it the country draws a considerable
part of its food supply, iron-ore, lead, zinc and copper.”
The above paragraph should be considered with in
terest by Alaskans for it shows the close relationship be
tween railroads and natural resources. In time (?), it is
hoped, a similar parallel may be seen in Alaska.
The purity of SewTard’s milk supply reflects credit on
producers, and they are cause for congratulations by
citizens. There is no more universal food than milk, and
it is easily contaminated. Seward, with 100 percent dairy
herds, has no fear of unwholesome milk.
THE DEAD HAND
“Government operation of business lacks imagina
tion and originality. It never creates anything—except
joos. It is a dead hand on initiative/’
So reads a paragraph by Merle Thorpe, quoted in the
Publishers’ Auxiliary. Paper publishers and printers
can also testify that the government in the envelope print
ing business for half a century has robbed them of hun
dreds of thousands of dollars worth of work which would
have materially helped them to better serve their com
munities.
This sort of competition on the part of the govern
ment is utterly indefensible, particularly for the reason
that by doing this work at less than cost the deficit must
be made up by the taxpayers, including the printers whose
business is injured by this practice.
Cases are known in which postmasters drawing large
salaries have devoted time to personally soliciting this
petty business. What local printer could employ a man
at a salary of $3,000 or $4,000 a year to solicit nothing but
envelope printing jobs ? Yet that is a fare sample of the
government in business.
Italy has just had a “Book Day ’. We would favor a
day for returning borrowed ones.
Without the products of the mines one would have
neither a frying pan, a spoon, a hat pin or a monetary
circulation medium.
Chicago version: A pineapple a day will put a gang
ster away.
So long as liquor is an issue you can figure there’s
a jolt of it around; and the more liquor there is, the great
er the issue.
There is a lot of virgin mining territory in Alaska,
and with proper development this ground can be made to
produce immense mineral wealth. That means employ
ment of labor, and the populating of Alaska.
You don’t have to be born in a log cabin any more to
become President. Just tell ’em you used to ride in an
old flivver. * ^
Since the war the creation of new countries and the
re-naming of old cities have served to repeal about all the
geography we learned in school.
Some people bury the hatchet—and leave the handle
sticking out.
