INVOKING THE GOLDEN RULE
UooBe Pass citizens who are sending to
the States for groceries while we have two
excellent grocery stores operating in
Moose Pass, are certainly not "doing as
they would be done by" and they are lower
ing their own standards of fair play.
Money earned by or because of a job in
Moose Pass should, in so far as possible,
be spent in Moose Pass and in the same
ratio, money earned by or because of a job
in Alaska should, so far as possible, be
spent in Alaska.
Moose Pass merchants have thousands of
dollars tied up in the stocks of goods
which they carry for our convenience* dnd
they can't operate their stores solely
with the idea of being accommodation sta
tions when we need a sack of salt or a
pound of coffee that we forgot to include
in that last order sent to Portland,Tacoma
or to Seattle.
The prices on grocery lists sent to us
from Outside look cheaper because they do
not include the exorbitant steamship and
railroad freight charges which necessarily
appear in the home merchants' prices - but
we have to pay them just the same, if we
send out for groceries.
Why do you hate so to see our home mer
chant get a profit? He spends his profit
in Moose Pass. We are all getting profit
an what we have to sell - or we couldn't
exist. Most of us are doing a six hour
daily stint for our profit where the home
stores operators are putting in 12 to 16
hours daily for our accommodation.
Try and get the credit from Outside
grocers that we ask for and get from our
home grocers. Try and get donation for
our Christmas entertainment, our library,
our other civic enterprises from Outside
grocery dealers. You wont get it.
Father A. P. Kasheverof, custodian for
many years of the Territorial Museum at
Juneau, died last week at the age of 76.
With the passing of Father Kasheverof i
goes a wealth of first hand knowledge of
Alaska history. He was a gold mine of
information. He was born on Kodiak Is
land three years before the United States
purchased Alaska from Russia.
