THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
A live, progressive and enthusiastic Chamber of Commerce
is a distinct asset to any city or town. Such an organization is
especially necessary in an unincorporated town, and it may be
said to be a vital necessity in a town like Anchorage, which
is not incorporated and which is directly under government
control. The situation here is. that a government agent desig
nated as townsite manager is the head of affairs. And the Pio
neer might say, in passing, that the gentleman who occupies
this position is a man of good ability, progressive and high
minded. Now, in the very nature of things, this townsite man
ager wishes to know, and do, if within his power, the will ot
the j>eople, particularly in tin* matter of public improvements.
It is not to bo expected that lie can know public sentiment, un
less the people have some means or method of conveying to
him, in a concrete way, their wishes, lienee, the desirability
of a Chamber of Commerce to represent the people. It is true
that all of the people of the town will not join the Chamber of
Commerce; hut it is likewise equally true that the members ot j
the Chamber of Commerce arc property owners, for the most
part, and what is good for them will be good for those who do
not actively participate in public affairs.
The local Chamber of ('ommeree was formed just before the
permanent townsite was opened. It lias been doing a good
work. But there is room 1 r improvement, in that more in
terest should he taken in the organization. In the formative j
period of our history, there is much work to be done.
As an example of what an active Chamber of Commerce may !
do, we may cite the splendid efforts being made on behalf of
Alaska by the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, acting through
its Alaska Bureau. The Bureau was unceasing in its efforts in.
support of the emergency appropriation for the Alaska rail
way project and is equally persistent ahd enthusiastic now in
aiding the passage of the big appropriation pending before the
congress.
