SELDOVLVS LITTLE HERO
A group of Seldovia children were playing near a
creek; Wesley Oliestad, aged six, wished to show his in
dividuality by crossing on the ice while his compeers
used the bridge. The ice gave way, precipitaing Wesley
into the chill waters, where he sunk twice. While others
stood horror-struck, including two men, Gilbert Oliestad,
nine-year-old brother of Wesley, plunged in and pulled
the luckless child out.
The act offers an index to Gilbert's character as it
will affect his future career. He faced a crisis calling for
quick decision and aclicn. He was equally alert in his i
decision and action and emerged a little hero worthy of!
standing beside older heroes.
ALASKA FISH COMMISSIONER
Stroller’s Weekly sounds a clarion note when it |
points to the ridiculous suggestion by members of the
Legislature that the office of Commissioner of Fisheries
of Alaska be created in the adsence of powers granted
by Congress for territorial administration of this, re
source. As pointed out by Stroller’s, the proposal is join
ed with a plan to compensate William L. Paul for ser
vice rendered the Democrats in the recent elections.
Mr. Paul is certainly entitled to recognition and j
there are a number of judgeships and district attorney
ships which he would fill with credit.
As regards the fisheries question there will be time
enough to consider such offices as Fish Commissioner
when the entire fisheries matter is presented to Congress
by the Alaska Delegate and the final verdict is received. '
The Legislature could render a service by repealing i
the obsolete and unworkable laws now on the statutes, j
confining their new legislation solely to conditions which i
demand bringing the statutes up to date.
Incidently we suggest the solons introduce a revenue
bill calling for the taxation of patented land.
MOTHERS’ PENSIONS
In setting one year’s residence as eligibility for
mothers’ pensions, Senator Bragaw evidently overlook
ed the possibilities of abuses which may be the outgrowth
of this brief qualification. Under it Alaska could become
the mecca of many seekng benefits under the law and so
load the treasury with obligations as to defeat any steps:
seeking economy in territorial government.
Unfortunaetly past Legislatures have taken their j
cues from national procedure in shaping legislation for.
the Territory, when as a matter of fact, conditions pre- j
sent and prospective have few of the elements affecting;
continental United States.
It would be far better to view Alaska as an up and
coming section of the nation rather than in retrospect,
and fight shy of public doles while concentrating ener
gies upon developing natural resources which would sup
ply labor and revenue capable of sustaining both men and
women without this last resort of establishing a pension
system calculated to grow in proportion to that now bur
dening the national treasury.
Once these eleemosynary statutes come into being it!
it difficult to eradicate them.
Boy, isn’t that 10 lb. word “eleemosynary” a pip!
The reason why the canning operations of the Ter
ritory have been curtailed is that President Roosevelt
promises to take over the business as soon as he has tak
en care of the farmers, and straightened out the bank
ing system.
No matter how rough the beer parties may be there
is little likelihood of any clothes being torn.
