LOOKING AHEAD
Alaskan progress of the past forecasts the future greatness of
the Northland, and justifies all Alaskans in holding to their firm
faith in the Territory’s possibilities and worth. By aiming high and
working together—actively and steadily—thode having to do with Al
askan progress can accomplish much. "Looking Ahead” to still great
er things, and planning and working accordingly, is the one way that
a high purpose can be reaHzed.
The Alaska Railroad—a pioneer system—is gradually and pain
stakingly striding towards a great goal—the greater development of
Alaska; and that the future is bright and promising is attested by
the steady and consistent upward trend of past and present activi
ties. The Alaska Railroad is “Looking Ahead.”

After a delay of almost three weeks,
the Comptroller bill, the first measure
to be introduced in the Senate this
session, made its appearance in the
House of Representatives. It was in
troduced Saturday afternoon by Rep.
Paul as House bill No. 30.
Just after its introduction, a Senate
concurrent resolution was passed by
the House authorizing a joint session
for Tuesday evening for consideration
of the measure. “I don’t object to
meeting and hearing a discussion of
the merits of the measure, but I do
seriously object to having the Legis
lature made to sponsor political out
bursts,” declared Rep. Sheldon, who
with his colleague, Mr. Fisher, voted
against the Senate resolution.
Maybe among the audience who list
ened to the speakers Wednesday night
in the Senate hearing on the bill, there
were those who were reminded of the
meetings in the late eighteenth cen
tury, noted in history and epoch-mak
ing in the birth of this nation, at
which eloquent, vigorous and valiant
protests were voiced against, the-ty
ranny of King George III. There was
so much said about the similarity of
present Alaskan conditions to- those
existing just before the Revolutionary
war, it could not help but be so.
But to oldtime members of the Leg
islature, what "was said Wednesday
night must have recalled to them
happenings much more recent than
1765. To them the pointless, psycho
logical analysis on hereditary syco
phants by Delegate Sutherland must
have recalled the wordy declamation
of a portly senatorial figure, standing
before his desk declaring in all seri
ousness: ‘‘Them is the principles our
forefathers have fit for since time im- I
moral,” than it did the declaration of j
the fiery Patrick Henry, “Tarquin and j
i Caesar had each liis Brutus; Charles
i the First, his Cromwell; and George
the Third may profit by their ex
ample.”
And well might it be that the speech
es Wednesday evening brought no j
memory of the noted Virginian’s j
words. The latter had no considera
tion of politics in view. He, at least,
had an intimate knowledge of the act
of Parliament he was denouncing,
while those who spoke to the Senate i
admitted they had not even read the
bill they defended.
| They broke lances against embat
I
tied bureaucracy (which, it happens,
in this case brings to Alaska some
$10,000,000 annually) but the title
(which one speaker said he had read)
of the 'bill gives no indication that
it does anything except create another
bureau. Said the speakers, in effect,
“We have surrendered to foreigners
the very things which our forefathers
deemed so precious that they broke
away from the mother country, de
clared war, fought their own kind and
kin, and at the cost of many lives,
much suffering and a great amount of
money, established those rights as the
sacred heritage of all Americans.”
What were those great principle,
the precious rights, which all Alas
ka legislators, and others, including
Delegate Sutherland and Mr. Roden,
i
surrendered weakly and supinely to
the Federal government, and which
the Controller bill seeks to regain?
It can be told briefly in much less
time than Mr. Sutherland took to
warn the Legislature against the
blandishments of Juneau^ hospitably
inclined citizens. It is this: Seven
Alaska Legislatures, guided largely
by reason of economy and efficiency,
keeping a weather eye out against du
