REMOTE CONTROL OF ALASKA
A lot of things in Alaska not to the liking of many Alas
kans would be in a far better state if there were not so much
remote control applied to this Empire of the Golden North.
A wider measure of self government and home control
of Alaskan affairs would witness not a few changes for the
betterment of the north.
With limited authority under the organic act the Alas
ka legislature has the authority to-deal with certain matters.
The Federal government virtually makes Alaska a ward of
that government in other matters.
In a way it is fortunate that Uncle Sam holds a grip on
Alaska, and guides her by the hand until she is vouchsafed
statehood and deemed able to walk alone on her own feet.
But with all the good intentions of the administration
and the great soul at the head of the same, there are too many
outside interests that seek to shape things in Alaska and ex
ercise influences upon the federal administration. Too
often is the government steered up some blind alley.
While the federal government does hold control it will
be a wise precaution that it have competent representatives
stationed in Alaska and undertake no major movements
without thorough survey and investigation. Too many big
interests in the states rush to Washington to advise respect
ing Alaska. The federal government sometimes dispatches
agents to Alaska to make a tour of investigation. The terri
tory is so vast—equal in area to several European countries
—that often those agents make a hurried cruise of the main
centers of the territory—are wined, dined and told they are
good fellows, and then go back to report. Millions of gov
ernment funds often are involved in the reports.
It would be better if the government first dispatched
competent experts, made long and careful surveys, and
when they did act get off right and in a way not to react
with loss to the nation or charges of incompetency.
Some of the massive expenditures contemplated for na
tional defense of Alaska should not be laid out in particular
locations until such examinations and studies are made.

have a vital bearing in the success of such ventures.
For the security and safety of Alaska and the nation,
for the sake of the good standing of those who authorize the
new projects—and in the best interest of all. the government
will do well to see that on all occasions—even from admin
istration of farm colony projects to work of national defense
—and many other affairs touching this vast territory that it
not be trapped by failure to take the course of the wise—to
throw off any suspects of ulterior interests, and to avert
every influence of remote control—or, in other words, inter
ference by selfish outside interests.—Anchorage Daily Times
DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK?
By Edson R. Waite, Shawnee, Oklahoma
The prosperity of a community depends upon the ex
tent of its commercial activity.
The streets should be made safe for pedestrians as well
as for motorists.
Your local business concerns have a constant capacity
to understand your wants and always endeavor to be honest,
fair and courteous to all. You should trade with them.
.About half the fun one gets on a vacation is reading the
home town paper. Be sure to have yours sent to you where
ever you may be.
A community spirit is no more than the Golden Rule.
You are expected to do your task in life today just a
little better than you did it yesterday.
“Never has entertainment, hospitality and recreation
been so focused as now within the home. I am sure that
we are starting an era of new prosperity, based upon home
enjoyment rather than upon the orgy of speculation which
characterized our last business advance.” so says Howard E.
Blood, president of Norge Corporation.
