AN OPPORTUNITY FOR A PUBLIC EXPRESSION
ON THE LIQUOR DISPENSING SYSTEM
9
Noted in a recent edition of the Juneau Alaska Empire
was an article concerning the doings of the City Council,
containing particular mention toward the preparation of a
liquor ballot to get an expression of public sentiment, which
is believed to be especially interesting in this City.
The short notice follows: “Approved of a motion by
A. F. McKinnon that the Council authorize the City Clerk to
prepare a ballot on the present liquor dispensing system in
the city. This ballot, which will be mailed soon to every
registered voter, will be similar to that recently sent out in
Wrangell, The results will be turned over to the Territor
ial Legislature for possible liquor law guidance.”
It is a proven fact in Nome that the citizens of this city
are, and have been very interested in knowing what this ses
siorl of the Legislature is going to devise regarding the dis
pensing of liquor in the Territory.
Now is an opportunity whereby a public expression of
opinion may be checked and made known, just what the
people believe about the question.
As a suggestion to the City Council: “Why not prepare
a special ballot, containing 4 questions: 1. Are you satisfied
with the present system of dispensing liquor? 2. Are you
in favor of Territorial distribution and dispensing of liquor?
3. Are you in favor of Municipal control and dispensing of
Liquor. 4. Are you in favor of midnight closing hours?”
No great expense is necessary in securing1 such an ex
pression of opinion, much the same as in the gathering of
“straw votes”. It would be of great importance to our own
Legislators at Juneau now, to know what the citizens of
Nome think of the question.
WANT 1935 DESIGNATED AS NATIONAL PARK YEAR
Agitation for 1935 to be designated as “National Park
Year” has started in the State Development and Publicity
Committees of the Chamber of Commerce and with endorse
ment of the trustees will be recommend to the United Stat
es Chamber for support. Working in cooperation with the
American Hotel Association. President Roosevelt will be
asked to issue a proclamation and to urge support of all gov
ernmental agencies.
Among suggestions for the advertising program are na
tional radio broadcasts, newspaper articles and the inclu
sion of a slogan on all postoffice letter cancelling machines.
American tourists will be urged to see the Ration’s Nation
al Parks during 1935, which should aid materially in promot
ing Western and Pacific Northwest travel.
TRAP OWNERS DON’T NEED SYMPATHY
Too much sympathy need not be wasted on trap owners.
Especially is this true of the large companies. They took up
trap sites subject to the regulations which might be made
from year to year. Even so, no one wants to see so-called
“property rights” arbitrarily confiscated. But the time has
come to weight economically the rights and interests-of Al
askan residents and empire builders as against “outside in
terests.” Fish caught in one trap alone is the difference be
tween poverty and a livelihood for a number of fishermen.
Harold Thompson in a letter to the editor gives some inter
esting sidelights on the question. The Fishing News would
like to hear further comment on both sides of the subject.
It believes the important thing is the greatest good to the
greatest number.—Alaska Fishing News

From the very beginning
M. M. Riggs, Managing editor of the Cheboygan (Mich
igan) Daily Tribune, says:
“Down through the years since the town criers of Eng
land were employed to announce to the countryside the ar
rival of cargoes of new merchandise, there has been a grow
ing ^demand for Advertising. It seems that Advertising as
sumed its beginning in the world of commerce with the.
ancient town criers. That was a thousand years ago and
long before the time of the famous Johann Gutenberg who
is credited with the invention of printing with movable
type. With the advent of Gutenberg’s printed page the town
criers soon became a thing of the past, and ever since News
paper Advertising has constantly forged ahead until today
when it is recognized as the greatest single force in modern
business.
“Of course there are many kinds of Advertising, but
statistics show that Newspaper Advertising leads them all.
Statistics are but a collection of facts. Then if the facts:
show that more business places use Newspaper Advertising,
then it is only common sense and reasonable to believe that
newspaper advertising pays. ’
“Any merchant who thinks that newspaper advertising
does not pay and pay Big returns for his investment need
but scan the pages of the average newspaper. There, he’ll
find them Advertising week after week. And why, Be
cause it’s a necessary and profitable part of a progressive
business.
“If the little merchant in the little town wonders if it
really pays to advertise in his home newspaper, then he
need but turn and see what the big, progressive merchants
are doing in the bigger cities. They’ve made a scientific
study of Advertising so they can spend their money where
it pays them the best returns. And they’ve found that the
newspapers are the Best advertising medium. So, if ad
vertising is no different in one city than it is in another,
whether the city is big or whether it is little, whether the
concern is big or whether it it little. As a matter of fact,
the big concerns credit advertising as the potent force that
has made their businesses big.”
The phenomenal cheapness of Japanese manufactured |
products, on account of cheap labor, is noticeable, also the
cheap quality of products, none of which can compare in
quality or service to those manufactured and nationally ad
vertised by United States and Canadian manufacturers.
