CORDOVA, ALASKA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 9, 1915.
ALASKA HAS LAWS APLENTY
LET LEGISLATORS TAKE A REST
>—— ... i ■■ i i n i ii
THERE remains only a short time now before our terri
torial legislature will convene for business; and of
course those of us who art* always ready with perfectly
good advices, will from now on avail ourselves of the opportuni
ty and'oblige our lawmakers by advising them—they need ad
vice alright—about what should or should not be done in the
way of lawmaking.
This is merely suggestive, but if we are to continue under
the present organic law,—our power to legislate being of the
comic opera nature—the first thing* we would suggest to the
lawmakers to do would be to introduce and immediately pass
an act repealing every doggone4rtw enacted by the last legisla
ture, and begin anew. The reason for this is found in the fact
that th red-quarters of the laws enacted by the never-to-be-for
gotten-lastlegislature, are worthless, and leave a cloud on the
other quarter as to their validity.
As a second suggestion, we would advise* that a law be pass
ed to compel congress to gix^jjs^the power to legislate to our
heart’s content, and without any restraining appendixes; such
as “must be approved by congress” etc.
The third suggestion would la* to repeal a large bunch of
laws contained in our codes which are detrimental to the best
interests of the few. In the event that the above suggestions
fail to have any support, we would offer the following as a sub
stitute; and that is, to pass no new laws, of whatsoever kind's or
nature, as new law's are dangerous. Besides we have enough
already.

“UNCLE JOE” HITS WRONG
CHORD IN OPPOSING ALASKA
—.. " ... ii i ..*
UNCLE JOE CANNON, in a recent address in the East,
took occasion to hotly criticize the Democratic adminis
tration for extravagance and cited the Alaska railroad
project as a case in point.
With so much wealth or material on which to draw for
illustrations of his point, it is difficult to see why the former
Speaker should have selected' tin* great constructive act of this
administration as the club with which to belabor the President.
In tin* first place, to cite no other objections, Cannon lays
himself open to attack by telling contrast between the lack of
action on the subject of Alaska during his speakership and the
constructive work accomplished by the present majority party.
Either the vetern is not informed, or he has gone out of his
way to deal a blow to a territory where he is admired and to a
City where he has many friends.
Every well-wisher of the former Speaker in Seattle and
Alaska—and they are legion—will sincerely regret that he has
seen fit to make a political football of tin* Northland’s railroad
project.
When everything else in the history of tins administration
has passed out of memory—when its tariff has been revised
more in accordance with American desire—when its currency
bill shall have been amended to fit conditions as they develop
and when its free tolls policy shall have been forgiven if not for
gotten—the Alaska railroad development scheme with which
it is identified will be remembered as a triumph of constructive
statesmanship.
Moreover, it the republicans should chance to score a sweep
ing victory in 1!»1(>, as so inanv American citizens confidently
predict, Cannon and other Republican leaders will be compelled
to take up the burden ofcompleting and operating the Alaska
lines.
For that reason, if for no other, he would' be well advised
to adopt a circumspect attitude in dealing with the territorial
railroad development project, for some years hence he may
claim, as one of the greatest of the party’s achivements, the
completion of the work that the Democrats have capably in
augurated.—Seattle Times.
-:o:
The understudies for little tit-willow, who performs his
most remarkable official acts after the breaking of the dawn,
and in most unofficial quarters, are kept busy busy these days
through the medium of the Daily Alaskan, in the attempt to
defend our boy mayor for his many indiscreet acts. What a
brave and chivalrous man a councilman can be when asserting
his authority in questionable quarters, even after he has been
humilated and disgraced. However, great and Boyleing actors
often do strange things, impelled no doubt by the vagaries of
artistic temperament. But why share tin* honors with anyone
else, by attacking them for alleged performances which sink
into insignifigance compared with several of the exhibitions
given by Cordova’s mayor.
-:o:
As the war abroad progresses, the might opportunities
for our country to assume and hold its place, tin* foremost of
nations, grows more apparent all the time. Ex-Ambassador
Herrick, fresh from Europe, says the determination among tin*
fighting people there is to wage war to the death. This means
that all are determined to continue the war until one side is
utterly undone, that peace shall mean peace indeed, not an
armed truce. If this spirit rules to the end, then when one
side is utterly exhausted, the other, though victors, will really
be in about the same situation, their countries wrecked, their
treasures exhausted, their young men dead, the wrecks of their
homes all in mourning, their hopes perished and all the glory
won shadowed by grief and that shame which their acts have
brought upon progress, upon civilization and Christianity.
