PRESIDENT ll.\IM)I\<a TRIP TO ALASKA
President. Harding is coming North. . He is to be accompanied by
Secretary Fall, a one time railroad builder.
The two cabinet officials want to get a close-up view of Alaskan
conditions. This will enable the Administration to outline a definite
Alaskan policy from first-hand knowledge.
The exact date of the President's visit probably will be made known
after Gov. Scott C. Hone returns from his trip to Washington. I).
following a consultation on Alaskan matters.
Every year there has been a promise that the President in power
would come North. On each occasion, however, pressing problems pre
vented.
And each year, after the usual Washington hearings on numerous
measures designed to aid Alaska, things have settled back into the same
old rut. Result—stagnation and impoverishment.
I For the first time there now seems a definite likelihood that the
presidential visit will be made.
And is should he made. There is no more important question be
fore Congress, or is it likely a more important one will arise, than the
Alaskan question.
It Is said have wrecked a former administration. At least it
has been a definite and troublesome problem of each administration.
Should President Harding carry out his intention, and visit us. he
will make history, history not alone for Alaska, but for the entire nation.
After the trip, instead of forming an opinion on a theory of govern
ment, caught from bureau influences and long-range misconceptions, he
will come face to face with realities, with practical conditions as they exist,
on which to outline legislation for getting concrete results.
The President then will catch and hold something of the spirit of
our vast Territory. He will get a better understanding of our great
potential resources, rich only as they may he allowed to be developed—
otherwise waste wilderness. He will better comprehend our aims and
our ambitions for creating a great commercial empire—the pioneer spirit
which developed America. He will see that we have been made victims
of misdirected governmental autocracy, framed in the interest of politics:
of insincere as well as honest conservation propagandists, and that we
bave been made the pawns for the play of big selfish interests.
All of these things he will be made to understand. .Moreover,
finally, despite the abuses heaped upon the resident people, notwithstand
ir.gthe fact that through governmental agencies, during the conservation
craze, they have been robbed and beggared and classed as crooks for
daring to utilize the natural resources which their enterprise had dis
covered. he will find there are no more optimistic and patriotic class of
citizens beneath the Stars and Stripes.—Exchange.
‘‘LOOTING OF ALASKA-”
Prere advices indicate that propagandists again are trying to raise
the old cry about selfish interests trying to “loot. Alaska."
Poor, old Alaska has been “looted" all right, not by capital, but
“looted" of its birthright to develop and utilize natural resources by these
self-same propagandists.
The bait they hold out before the Eastern public is that “Alaska's
riches” belong to the people of the United States, and that indefinite
"interests” are about to gobble everything in sight and cheat the people
of the nation out of something.
But. meantime the people of Alaska are the ones being cheated.
The resources are here for those who want to come and pioneer the way
and stand the gaff for developing them, providing the conservation lock
and key are removed.
Alaska needs capital, lots of capital. Potential resources are
worthless otherwise. One thriving American community, supported by
"selfish interests” is worth all the pulp timber, all the water power, all
the oil and all the coal, that lies in a state of undeveloped wilderness.
Alaska has taxation without representation. It pays the bills
It is a political dumping ground, a land to be exploited by theorists, a victim
of misunderstanding, long-range administration, for live newspaper copy
and scare-heads, hut it must also be remembered there are real flesh
and blood people living in th? Northland who have a few rights of their
own to conserve.—Exchange.

CHAUTAUQUA MEETING IN
PUBLIC SCHOOL HOUSE
LARGELY ATTENDED
Last Monday evening the gymnas
ium of our Public School House was
filled with men, women and children
who came to take part in Nome't
first Chautauqua meeting. This
meeting is the initial number of a
series of similar meetings planned
by the energetic Superintendent of
the Public School, Mr. Collins. In
conformity with a plan adopted by
the Territorial Supt. of Schools. Mr.
Henderson in which all schools in
the Territory are to be turned into
Community Centers, meeting placer
for all residents in the various school
districts, Mr. Collins has had his
first and successful meeting.
After a brief introduction by tho j
chairman pro tern, Mr. Polet, a ref- j
ular program was conducted in
which school children played their j
part and the audience was given the j
privilege of singing old familial
songs songs which in many cas.v
have been discarded for syncopated.;
