Political Observations
It is verv gratifying to note that the, long distance
calls, telegrams and letters te Washington, D.C. have
brought the people of Kodiak Wand ”, „0 '
soon have freight service around Kodiak Island, nop
to make the first trip.
Soon after I came from Juneau I was called to tas
for some of the bills I voted for. One feHow, a local g
game guide offered to bet me one thousand dollars tna
he made less a year than I did ^^hlm tlk f
fP(t on hjo game guides. After letting him taiK to
t?me, I then panted out that HB 201 provided that un
qualified guides could not take out h“"*?.rSu "®,any
in less than five minutes became a good bill. How many
other bills are judged in the same manner.
I note with a great deal of humor that the same peo
ple who called the King Crab, Shrimp, Sales tax *md
boat harbor a pipe dream are ca'i'ng the Homer, B
Bav & Kodiak ferry the same. One I know ot will reacn
out and try3fo get the president’s job for sure and that
will be a pipe dream.
