LOW COSTS ARE
GONEFOREVER
“Alaskans may as well make up •
their minds to meet squarely the
new conditions which have been t
brought about by high prices in
the States. New standards have j
been created by the war, and there
■will be no going back to the old
levels of pre-war days. High prices
have come to stay.”
This is the way Territorial Mine
Inspector R. J. Sommers, who was
in Nenana last night on his way to
the Tolovana country, sizes up the!
situation, and he, probably more
than any other man in Alaska, is in !
a position to know what is taking!
place in the States in the way of
rising costs and labor conditions,!
for he is fresh from a convention:
of labor commissioners of the Unit-'
ed States and Canada, held recently
at Madison, Wisconsin, and address
ed by the leading labor men of the j
country. Mr. Sommers attended j
the convention in his official capaci-1
ty as ex-officio labor commissioner1
of the territory.
inirty-six states, Alaska and Can-j
ada were represented, the delegates!
including many prominent labor men,'
as well as representatives of the
United States bureau of labor, and 1
it was apparent to Mr. Sommers,
before he had left the convention,
that a new order of things had been j
created, a higher plane of living j
reached, which gives promise of be- ■
ing permanent. The only question |
in doubt in the States, Mr. Som- i
mers says, is the extent to which
prices will rise. It seems to be gen- j
erally agreed that there is not a
chance for any material decline in j
the cost of living, and there are j
many Outsiders who predict a fur- I
ther rise.
The new standard, Mr. Sommers j
says, appears to be generally sat-!
isfactory to the people of the States,
tvho are enjoying greater prosperity
now than ever before in the history
of the country. There is a lot of
complaint against high prices, of
course, but not many of those who
complain, he says, would willingly
go back to the old “normal.”
Mr. Sommers found general busi-j
ness in the States active, and pros- ;
perity conspicuous almost every
where. Nearly everybody, he says, :
is well dressed, the people look '
cheerful and well fed, the number ■
>f automobile owners is increasing
•teadily, and amusement places are 1
well patronized. Signs of poverty, ]
so common before the war, are now
conspicuous by their absence.
But with all this show of pros- 1
serity, Mr. Sommers says, there is
i feeling of unrest in the States—
i feeling of uncertainty regarding '
he future. Labor is especially rest- ^
ess, notwithstanding high wages, a
steady demand for workers and an
inusual variety of employment. But
onditions will become more set- (
led, Mr. Sommers believes, after 1
he peace treaty has been ratified i
ind the League of Nations question c
disposed of and the trade of the
country restored to a normal basis.
While the mine inspector admits
that high prices just now are work
ing a hardship on Alaska, with the
value of gold unresonsive to the
new conditions, he believes that the
prosperity of the States will ulti
mately help the territory materially
by making more capital available
for investment in Northern projects.
In his Opinion, the territory is on
the eve of an era of great develop
ment.
This is Mr. Sommers’ first visit
to Interior Alaska in his official ca
pacity as mine inspector and he
plans to put in the entire season
visiting the various Interior camps.
He has already covered the Fair
banks district pretty well, and is
now on the way to the Tolovana
district, where he will spend a week
looking over that section.
Mr. Sommers is traveling in com
pany with R. C. Wood, president of
the First National bank, and R. C.
Menzie, head of the light and heat
department of the N. C. company,
at Fairbanks. They arrived from
the upper town last night in Mr.
Wood's motorboat, and continued on
down river after a visit of several
hours in Nenana. Mr. Wood is go
ing to the Tolovana on bank mat
ters, and Mr. Menzie is enroute to
have a look at some promising min
ing ground in which he is interested.
They plan to return to Nenana
next Saturday, in time for the ball
game, and probably will remain here
until the following night.
