LEGISLATIVE OPPORTUNITY
Digesting the keynotes of candidate for the Alaska
legislature one fails to find any difference between sal
utatories of 1936 and 1934.
Practically all were a series of banalities, which
sound very much like rethrashing old straw.
“Liberal appropriations,” “No fish traps” (when
the policy of gradual elimination of traps is a fixed one
with the government), “constructive legislation,” (the
most hackneyed phrase that ever afflicted a political
campaign), “bigger and better pension,” ad infinitum,
just like it has been for the past 15 years.
One of the greatest opportunities offered the Alaska
legislature is to take a hint from Washington and get
into the industrial development and population band
wagon.
Business institutions which have grown great have
achieved it thru advertising; publicity.
Like any other business, Alaska must be sold to the
world by the same methods. Not only must the busi
ness man tell the public that he has an article to sell,
but he marshals his sales talk to prove that it is what
the world has been waiting for.
If the Alaska legislature devoted its entire session,
aside from current order of business, to devise plans to
compile a comprehensive survey of Alaskan resources,
and opportunities for building a great state, provide a
source of information for those who desired it, and went
about selling the Alaska idea to the world, there would
be no need worry about what the federal budget for the
Territory would be at the next session of Congress.
The things most vitally needed, like roads, will come
once the stream of settlers begins to pour into Alaska.
It requires population for business to thrive. It re
quires population to give values to city property, and it
requires a diversified population, with the great col
lection of ideas it brings, to develop a new country.
So long as these matters are left to Washington, just
so long will Alaska be governed like a colonial posses
sion of some empire.
Alaska has passed thru the juvenile stage and is
now entitled to don long pants.—Seward Gateway.
