KETCHIKAN AND HOME RULE
1 he Ketchikan Chronicle takes all home rule advocates to task
in a strong editorial published recently and in which it seeks to show
that Alaska’s claim for emancipation from bureaucratic rule is para
doxical. citing as the foundation for its viewpoint the protest against
the sale of the Alaska cable and communication service. Upon this in
cident the Chronicle seeks to rear up the premise that it is better for
the Territory to go along in the guise of subjects of bureaucracy than
to endeavor to manage its own affairs. Which is a polite way of saying
that Alaska does not boast men capable of dealing with those intimate
questions that come into contact with one’s daily activities.
One can agree with the Chronicle that protesting against the sale j
of the cable might give the impression that Alaska was not willing to
assume the burden of self-government, provided the question was pre-1
cheated solely on the cable item. But it resorts to sophistry when it 1
seeks to prove the case by an exceptional incident.
It would be interesting to know what the Chronicle thinks about
:he bureaucratic action which demands that all island fur farmers pay
up $M50 or vacate the islands. Does it believe that Alaskans would or
der such a thing if the administration of such tilings was reposed in
the Territory instead of the Department of Agriculture?
TO HIM THAT HATH IT SHALL BE GIVEN
Only quite recently the government disposed of a number of Ship
ping Board vessels at a pittance. At this writing there Is not sufficient
business to keep all these vessels in service. If anything there is an
over-production of ships. Yet with a stroke of the pen the government
hands out fifteen million dollars to private interests in the form of a
loan for the purpose of constructing more ships.
And at the same instant, the same agencies place Alaska under
the microscope in order to find where retrenchment in vital public
works may be carried out- Among these stabs at the vitals of Alaska
is the effort to abandon the experiment farms, the slashing down of
road appropriations, the crippling of The Alaska Railroad by retrench
ments found nowhere else in governmental or private enterprises.
For all this largesse to big interests the people are called upon to
delve down in their pockets and many pay in the form of taxes touch
ing their vital necessities.
In groping for a solution of national ills it is remarkable how glar
ingly the question of separation of church and state has been omitted.
Another year and it will be 10 years since the memorable visit of the
late President Warren G. Harding,. What memories of that eventful
occasion when Seward, for a day, was the Nation’s Capital!
Considering the billions permanently invested across the Atlantic
it se^ms that European good will comes rather high—and wrorst of all j
we rton’t get any good will. i

The ancient Egyptians divided mankind according to importance ;
as follows: Priests, warriors, cowpunchers, hog callers, sheepherders,
shop keepers, interpreters, boatmen. But why the hog callers if they
did not have radio?

DESIRES TO PROMOTE
CLOSER RELATIONSHIP
Norman A. Schellberg, one of the
recently defeated, Seattle mayoralty
candidates, the man of whom The
Gateway has referred to many
times as a genuine friend of Al
aska, in a recent letter, his last
before the primary, had this to say:
“My cherished ambition is to
make Seattle the Metropolis of the
Pacific Coast and promote closer
relation between Alaska and this
great city. One thing I will do
upon taking oath of office is to
urge the Chamber of Commerce to
send at least two representatives to
Alaska to regain our trade which
is gradually slipping away from us
in favor of Los Angeles.
“We should not lose a single
fraction of trade with Alaska, but
what we have lest has been our
own fault inasmuch as we have not,
heretofore, given Alaska a square
deal. Tell your people in the North
that I am for Alaska 100 per cent.”
His defeat means Alaska has lost
a most loyal supporter.
RIO DE JANEIRO, Feb. 25. (/?)—
Fish which succumb to drink were
described when Willits J. Hole re
turned here on the yacht Samona
II with specimens for San Francis
co and Los Angeles museums.
The party went up the Amazon
and ascended the Rio Negros,
where they used the Indian sys
tem of catching fish.
A certain shrub was thrown into
the water. The chemical reaction
that followed intoxicated the fish
and they floated to the surface, un
conscious.
The party garnered some rare
specimens, tnot mentioning those
that got away.

“Am in receipt of the first Week- j

for it. Did not know before that
the Gateway printed a Weekly,

scriber long ago. Before having a
chance to more than look over the
headlines of the paper above men
tioned, it was taken away by a cer
tain mutual friend.”
