NO OVERPRODUCTION.
Every man versed in even the primary principles
of economics, knows that the unit of value in a country
has nothing to do with its wage rate. We don’t have to
go to Ricardo, or Mill, or Montesquieu for this infor
mation—it is only necessary to read government reports.
Alaskans, with perhaps a little more leisure than their
struggling brethern in the States, analyze conditions
more calmly and no doubt will agree there is no
reason why the wage scale should be lowered.
There is no such thing as overproduction. The
wealth produced congests at a comparatively few points
instead of flowing into the coffers of its creators.
AN AUTOGIRO FOR ALASKA
Aviation throughout the world has been handicap
ped by two necessities for successful flying. The ordi
nary airplane has to take off and land at comparatively
high speed; landing fields are necessary. The autogiro
eliminates both, being able to ascend or descend almost
vertically at low speed. It can land with less dropping
force than a man in a parachute.
Especially in Alaska, this new flying device would
look very peculiar when compared with the standard
plane. The large paddles, revolving blades overhead,
resemble an overturned Holland windmill. To see one of
these crab-like affairs settling down on some vacant lot
in Seward would indeed be a weird moment.
The invention of the autogiro is acknowledged as
being one of the outstanding improvements and achieve
ments in heavier-than-air-craft. General adoption by the
public is looked for owing to both its utility and safety.
On the Chilkoot Pass a monument was erected in
memory of the jackasses whom helped bring in supplies
during the gold rush days. Some day some one may
erect a memorial to the pioneer who has toiled with
jackasses carving out a country in this Northern fron
tier.
************
It is astonishing the narrow-mindedness some folk
display. We heard some one, the other day, make a dirty
crack about another good citizen because of variance of
political opinion dating five years back. What rotten
sports some people are!
************
Now that the Florida realty boom has been relegat
ed to the limbo of forgotten things, its virtues written
upon the sands, its about time to import a few of those
alleged high-pressure salesmen to Alaska. We’ve got
the land.
************
America and Japan exchanged radio felicitations,
each assuring the other that everything is serene, and
that eternal friendship must prevail. The Japanese mes
sage was sent out by station JOAK in Tokyo. That is
not the way the word is spelled.
************
The King of Siam, now in the East, smiles at the
crowds that greet him. He smiles as the things of in
terest are displayed. He smiles when the doctor tells
him that his sight is being clouded by a cataract. The
Occident has carried much to the Orient, but has failed
to bring back, as part payment, the equanimity of the
East.
************
Do your bit this year in helping save or conserve
Alaska’s great natural stand of timber, even if it means
killing a woodpecker.
