LOOKING AHEAD—YEARS AHEAD
Alfred P. Sloan Jr., head of General Motors, in a recent
article, says that amazing changes and extraordinary weal
th and prosperity lies ahead. It will' come, he says, when
people start to adopt the changes which science has wrought
in the last five years. Economic tmnditions have diverted
their attention. They have ignored what is going on in the
way of scientific progress. Changes in houses—the homes
in which we live—which are as great and as revolutionary
as the change from the buckboard to the automobile are at
hand. These changes are:
Air conditioning in homes, shops factories and office
buildings. Temperatures and humidity can and are being
controlled by new devices. Disease breeding dirt and dust
can and are being removed from the air one breathes. Many
of the causes of discomfort and ill health can be controlled.
Houses of fabricated materials which will be built in
factories and shipping to the user in sections represent an
other revolutionary change. Not only can substantial and
vastly improved houses be obtained this way, but the time
element required in present-day building be largely eliminat
ed. Also, it is claimed, the cost of homes can and will be
materially reduced.
* The type, speed and comfort of railroad trains is an
other revolutionary change which Mr. Sloan believes is com
ing rapidly. Already new type trains are being used in an
experimental way. The changing of this equipment in itself
will provide a vast army of workers with employment.
Science has not stood still in the last five years. Chang
es for better things have been planned. The upset in econo
mics has merely postponed some of these changes which
would have been well on their way to adoption, Mr. Sloan
believes. One has only to know that the population of the
United States is about 130,000,000 people and that there are
about 30,000,000 homes together with the fact that Ameri
can people adopt changes forethe better more rapidly and
readily than any other in the world, tor realize the significan
ce of these statements.
Private industry and private initiative which "have so
courageously carried this country to leadership in the wor
ld will again lead it out of the economic doldrums if given
a chance. ,.j
There are interesting days ahead. Our children and
their children will accept as commonplace what we are now
shaking our doubtful minds over.
LEGISLATURE MEETING TODAY
Today the Alaska Territorial Legislature convenes in
Juneau. The previous legislature passed the bill which be
came a law, advancing the date for the meeting of that body,
at the same time that it advanced the election date of the
general election. The law set the second Monday in Jan
uary as the time and early September was set for the elec-;
tion. j
A general election was held on September 11, but did
not draw the full vote of the territory, as was expected. It
is too early now, as the majority of the miners and those
people who are prospecting during the summer, are still out
in the hills at that time. They can not afford to come in
when the season is approaching its end. The concensus of
opinion points to the fact that the date is about one month
too early. This session of the legislature it is expected will
have the consideration of resetting the date for- a general
election. Legislators going to Juneau expressed their ideas
concerning the election date, and they appear to favor setting
it back another month.
Phases of importance to come up this session include
taxation, fisheries, and the mining industry. Each subject
