AN UNFAIR MEASURE
That proposed measure of Ziegler of Ketchikan
whereby he would place an excise tax of 12 cents on all
food products manufactured in the Territory and packed
in fibre boxes, is directed toward the fish packing in
dustry, of course, which, last season began to use the
so-called fibre or cardboard packing boxes in place of
wooden boxes manufactured in Alaska.
While The Gateway has always been one of the lead
ers in sponsoring purchases of Alaska-made products, yet
there is a distinction in this case which can not be over
looked. The canners of Alaska have always been the
target for increased taxation and more drastic rulings
and regulations each succeeding year. They represent
the larger proportion of Territorial revenue; willingly,
they have consistently abided by the laws of the land
Everyone should know it has been years since the larg
er plants have made any real money from their millions
invested. And at the first opportunity when they see
a chance to cut down the overhead, a small saving in
freight some of the solons want to make ’em pay for
their presumption, through the nose; tax them some
more.
If reports are to be believed, pulp mills will soon be
established in the Territory. We suppose the pulp inter
ests will then rise up and yell about wooden boxes. In
any case, the canneries should not be penalized for try
ing to cut expenses. We are all endeavoring to do like
wise. No one in Alaska wrants to see Alaska products
manufactured and sold in Alaska, more so than The
Gateway, but let’s be as fair as possible in the matter.
WORKING FOR GOOD HEALTH
Good health should certainly interest the people of
Seward.
It is a boon to all individuals fortunate enough to
be so blessed but unfortunately it is not always within
the reach of an individual. Too often, good health is de
nied to children through the lives of their parents. This
being so, we should realize that the time of plan for
good health is about three generations ahead.
Dr. Charles Mayo, distinguished American surgeon,
stresses this idea when he says that “the greatest work
before the physicians and surgeons of the world is to
teach the public that there is much truth in the old
adage that ‘an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of
cure’.”
Pilot Frank Dorbandt, Alaska flying “Ace” who
is now in the States, should make an attempt to span
the Pacific between the United States and Japan and
capture that $25,000 prize offered by the Japanese pub
lisher.
Those who are unwilling to work for the best in
terests and advancement of Seward should at least keep
their mouth shut while others try to do the best they can.
************
The big men of America are those who never give
up. We’ve noticed that. When they predict better times
and nothing happens, they just predict some more.
************
Nicaragua seems to be a good place for Americans
to keep away from. If American interests have capital
to invest let them first try their own country, Alaska
for instance.
