ALASKA HAS PERMANENT POP-]
ULATION
When Alaskan? began discussing
territorial government in earnest
more than twenty years ago, people
who opposed it said that we have no
••permanent” population in Alaska.
They declared, says the Juneau Em
pire, that the people up here were
here to make a stake and go Out
side to live and spend their money.
Home rulers answered this con-i
tendon by saying that most of the!
pioneers went to California and
other sections of the West to make
a stake and go back to the East.!
but they remained in the West and
built several large and wealthy
states, and they argued that those
who were then coming to Alaska
would remain and buHd one or more
populous and prosperous common
wealths here. The ‘history of the
past decades has justified the argu
ment.
A story was prime 1 in The Em-'
pire recently of a Dawson man who
was making his first trip to the Out
side in 19 years. It is by no mean?
an uncommon story. Every now and
again a similar stor^ i printed.
There are thousands in Alaska and
Yukon Territory who have not bee:
away from their homes for flora
ten to twenty years, and more. The
North has a fixed, permanent popu
lation, and Alaskans are rearing
families of native bom children
who will always regard Ala ka a
home.
It will be admitted that we ought
to have a larger permanent popula
tion—more people who would make
their homes here and who would
spend most of their time here. We
ought to have more people who
would devote their time to Alaska
work and her development and in
vest their savings here instead of
spending their money traveling about
■the country.
HUSBANDS AND FATHERS
The Salt Lake City Herald, in dis
cussing recently a census bulletin
on the employment of women and
children, mentioned the fact that
thirty-two per cent of the widows
of this country are obliged to earn
their own living. In other words, ex
plains the Herald, one woman in
every three, or thereabouts, who is
deprived of her bread winner is
obliged to engage in some gainful
occupation in order to provide food,
raiment and shelter for herself and
her children.
That one widow in three must
worh for her living is almost in
credible. This means that one wife
in three is left penniless on the
death of her husband. It shows how
close to the precipice at whose base
is want and misery and poverty, one
third of the families of this nation
are living. And there is a remedy.
It may be found in two words—
life insurance. The astonishing thing
is, not that there are so many men
whose lives are insured, but that
there are so many carry no life in
surance. It does not seem that any
argument whatever should be need
ed to convince the man with a de
pendent wife and family that he
should carry life insurance.
Every man with anyone dependent
upon him should carry life insur
ance. Carry much if you can; carry
enough at least to keep a roof over
the wife and babies. The thought
is not pleasant, but some day you
are going to die. And you’ll sleep
better o’nights if you know the lit
tle woman will have something
when you are gone.
