WE NEED LESS GOVERNMENT, NOT MORE
The statement in the letter of Mr. Faulkner to Mr. Sherman that
“we cannot be legislated into prosperity any more than any other country
is true. There has been a tendency in Alaska, and elsewhere throughout,
the country, to depend too much on the Government to give us prosperity.
It is the rarest thing in the world for good times to fresult any where from
legislation or Governmental action. All the Government can do is to
give the people a fair chance to create prosperity for themselves.
The Government sometimes may delay prosperity. It may make
constant changes and create a feeling of uncertainty. It may over regu
late and harrass those who work. But it cannot create a general pros
perity. It may and frequently does improve conditions in some particular
place by expending money there, but every dollar the Government expends
must in the end be- paid for by taxing the people. General prosperity, as
individual prosperity, comes from work. The Government may aid the
people by refraining front over much interference and by encouragment to
capital and workers.
It is not good for a people to get into the hnblt^of thinking that
prosperity may come through Government action. It has a tendency to
des&oy initiative. The sooner people come to realize that the only way they
can get prosperity is through initiative in the development and utilization
of the natural resources of a country the better they will be off. The Gov
ernment has done its part when a fair chance has been given the people
to create work by inducing the investment of capital in development and
utilization of resources.
Of recent years there has been too much meddling by the Govern
ment in the development of the country. There was a time when the
most rapid development and growth in the United States was on the
frontier. That was the case when people poured through the Appalatchin
gaps into Tennessee and Kentucky. It was the case when Ohio and In
diana and Illinois were the Western Frontier. It was true with Michigan
and Wisconsin and Missouri and Iowa, and all the other States as the
frontier moved Westward, as long as frontiersmen were given a free hand
in developing the country. It was not until the wholesale withdrawals
of the public domain and the government of the frontier from Washington
was instituted that there was a change. Then came slow growth on
the outskirts where the resources belonged to the Government. Then
people turned their attention to the development of the sections of the
country where the resources had passed into private control, and the more
rapid growth was in the older sections of the country rather than the newer.
What America needs most of everything is less government from
Washington and a freer hand for those who are on the ground.
Many months ago the Ketchikan Chronicle urged a division of thf
Territory of Alaska, along geographic and economic lines. It urged that
the entire panhandle, that is Southeastern Alaska, be cut off from tlie greai
tody of the mainland and be made a separate territory.
In his annual report Governor Dour says that a division of the
Territory of Alaska will be necessary and the Juneau Empire now aptly
asks. "If eventually, wby not now?" That might well be th«* slogan
of Southeastern Alaska in this measure, for there is not a town i?i thr
Southeast that is not interested, that is not tied to every other town by
laws of nature and trade and it would be to the general good to be
separated.
There is no common tie between Southeastern Alaska and the great
district to the North and the sooner the division is made the better it will
be for both.
The editorial from the Empire reads as follows:
"If. as Governor Bone tentatively suggests. Alaska faces ultimate
division into two or more Territories, why not the diviiuon at once? The
Ketchikan Chronicle on more than one occasion has advocated the separa
tion of Southeastern Alaska from the other portions of the Territory.
Others of Southeast Alaska .have frequently urged it for several years
"It has been often pointed out that Southeast Alaska could easily
care for herself without Federal assistance in any different degree or
extent than the Federal Government has assisted other Territories in their
dtfy. Whatever may be said of the other parts of the Territory none
questions the ability of Southeast Alaska to maintain a full Territorial
form of government: She could very easily sustain two or three County
governments and a Territorial organization. It is true the area—some
thing over 50,000 square miles is rather small, when compared with the
areas of a Western State. Howevel, with the development of the pulp and
paper industry which will certainly come and the continued development of
mining and fitting, Southeast Alaska would in a very few years have a
large population—larger than many of the States had when admitted
to the Union.
”if Southeast Alaska is to be severed from the other portions of
the Territory before statehood it would seem that she should be severed
now so that she might begin raring for herself and preparing for her own
future and not be longer loaded with the charge of aiding in the develop
ment of great areas with which she will not be identified in the future.
She is a pioneer country herself with a great deal of development to do.
Under the circumstances, if she is never to participate in the benefits that
will come with the development of the hundreds of thousands of square
miles in the Interior and on liering Sea and the Arctic the burden of carry
ing those widely scattered sections of the Territory should be borne by all
the States of the Union equally. Soutbest Alaska should not be required
to bear an unequal share of this cost if her benefits are to be only the
same general benefits as may come to all the States.''—Reprinted from !h*>

Under » contract recently awarded ;
by the postoffice department. the Ad- !

The time saved in sorting and do- j

ate the service considerably, accord- '
ing to postal experts, and give the j
| Northern territory adequate and sat-j

The system now in operation ha a ,
been urged and fought for by the*
people of Alaska for many years.!
Heretofore, under the old postoftice |
regulations, mail sacks were stowed '
