THANK YOU KETCHIKAN KGBU
A highly appreciated compliment was paid The
Gateway and staff on New Year’s when KGBU, the
Ketchikan broadcast station, extended its greetings and
best wishes, which weie picked up clearly and distinctly
on our own set. Seward radio fans have long been ap
preciative for the excellent programs received nightly.
KGBU is laboring to upbuild the Salmon capital,
while our own YToice of the Golden North, K F Q D, has
done more to bring Anchorage into the limelight than
any other influence in the Headquarters city.
While the broadcasting station is a natural compe
titor of the newspapers, there is room for both in their
respective fields, and like the newspaper, are only possi
ble thru advertising.
Advancement does not come thru efforts at sup
pression of a competitor, but thru the rivalry compe-'
tition engenders. Progress will continue to manifest it
self despite all obstacles, and Alaska is signally fortu
nate in having two such splendid agencies which bring
it to a tabloid standard of the big outside world.

Among stumbling blocks pointed to in an effort for
Congress to get together on the question of repeal of the
Eighteenth amendment is that of the mandates in each j
of the dominant party platforms calling for a convention 1
as against having the Legislature of each state perform
this function.
Assuming tnat the platforms of both parties were
adopted in compliance with the wish of the people for a
change in the prohibition law and that the party leaders
represent the best brains in both parties, it appears noth
ing short of Tory bigotry is behind the assaults led bf
such small fry House reactionaries as Blanton of Texas,
Mape-- and Miehner cf Michigan and Stalker of New
York, all of whom demand that final ratification be by
Legislature rather than by the method suggested by both
tho Republican and Democratic platforms.
These \oices are, let us hope, the last of the reac
honames who have wrested the power from the hands
e the people anc* allocated it to the oligarchy of wealth
and bigotry which has ridden roughshod over the peo
ple for the past 12 years
Experience ins taught that both Congress and the
legislatures of a majority of the states have been un-:
iOi dominance expressed in direct passage of money,
financial advantages and personal emoluments for the
members of these bodies as against representation of
the public.
As appointed by the opponents of the bill for the I
x-epeal of the Eighteenth amendment, the steps seeking i
to pass the power back to the people are radical. Thus it |
mould be unless there are those who are bent upon so!
exasperating the public that they will lay aside constitu-!
tional methods for more drastic ones.
Representative government has all but perished
liom the land. It must be reinstated under its original
conception as expressive of the desires of the voters. No
better way could he devised than under just such a pro
cedure offered by Speaker Garner in giving the neonle
a voice. y
Whether it be the prohibition question or somethii
entue.y different, it is the people’s question, ai
not that of men who believe they have risen above ti
people and rule by divine right.
We have a fair sample of this legislative bigotry
one of the last sessions of the Alaska Legislature, it
safe to venture that 9 0 per cent of the people hold tl
piohibition question in the same contempt as those wl
expressed themselves in the last election in the stat<
pet when the question of repeal of the Alaska bone d
law came up, this body displayed the same attitude
that now shown by the group fighting Garner. Thi
passed the buck to the Federal government instead
going on record as responsive to popular will.
If ever there was a measure that made knaves ai
sneaks of a people it is the prohibition law.
Lottery convictions throughout the country remind
us that there was a time when games of chance of that
kind were regarded as lawful government agencies. The
government lottery has not been entirely abandoned.
The voter puts in his ballot, and takes what he gets.
Many a man who put on a ton of dog is now dogging
the pound for a pound of dog.
The disconcerting feature of most political platforms
is that their planks contain too many knot-holes.
Wo Ml of us, the snort of destiny.
EARTHQUAKES CRACKED
OPEN STREETS, ROADS!
_ i
Reports received last night fromj
points along the Lake Kenai road I
say the effect of the earthquakes 1
Tuesday evening and late at
night are visible in several places;
where cracks are observed in the !
snow and earth at bare ^pots. j
The same condition, altho of in
significant nature, was observed
at several places on Seward streets
where small cracks occurred in the
frozen crust.
One of the remarkable features
of the quakes was the lack of dam
age in stores where shelf goods
were but slightly disturbed.
This wras accounted for by sud-,
den oscillation and rapid rebound
of the characteristic bumps which
always accompany earth tremors j
in this vicinity.
North of Tunnel along the val
ley of Turnagain Arm, the usual
fault cracks reappeared as in pre
vious shocks, but no damage to
the railroad has been reported.
Owing to recent and present
cold weather the shock was unac
companied by snowslides such as
characterized last year’s shocks
following continued heavy snow
fall.

Heartly (Hunk) Anderson of Notre

but he insists they are wrong:
“Yes, I know Anderson is a Scan
dinavian name, but I‘m Irish as
far back as I can trace.”
