A "DEAD HAND” ON ALASKA, i
_' i
The appeal of Governor Thomas!
Riggs, Jr., for a greater measure^
of home rule in Alasita will oe sym
pathetically received in Seattle, re
marks the Seattle Times of Janu
ary 16
The Northern executive pointed
out last night to members of the
Alaska Bureau of the Seattle Cham
ber of Commerce that funds derived
from Alaskan sources are diverted
to the federal, instead of the terri-!
I
torial, treasury.
This situation, coupled with nu
merous restrictions imposed by con
flicting bureaus in Washington, ren
ders the country dependent to an
undesirable degree upon tire Federal
Government for financial assistance,
detracts from its political freedom 1
and retards its development.
Alaska can and will solve its own j
problems whenever Congress gives it I
a chance by removing the “dead j
hand" of Washington bureaucracy!
from the helm of its affairs.
“One of the things I want to j
work for is the centralization of au
thority over Alaska in one bureau,
preferably resident in Alaska,” ex
piumcu uuvciuui avif, i,- -- I
merit before the bureau. ‘'Another i
thing I favor for Alaska is a con
stabulary similar to that of Penn
sylvania. Alaska has no policemen, j
only deputy United States marshals, j
“Let Alaska have charge of her
own resources so she can be self
supporting. The Government is tak
ing away our chances for revenue so
we must go to the Government for
money. Our coal lands are closed
and our forests, oil and seal revenue
goes into the United States trea
sury.”
THE POOR MAN'S “MECCA.”
Reports coming from the States
tell of the scarcity of jobs and the
low wages paid compared to the
cost of living there, points out the
editor of the Ketchikan Times. The
scarcity of work is largely due to
the closing of shipyards and other
war industries. Did you ever stop
to thing how fortunate we, in Alas
ka, are compared with other places?
Here we have no problem of war
industries to convert to peace-time
needs and requirements, with their
attendant curtailment of manufac
ture and labor, resulting in the
hardship of enforced idleness. In
these days of high prices every day
of idleness is a real tragedy to the
laborer and his dependents. Here
in Alaska work is plentiful and a
great many of our workers make
enough money during the summei
and fall to obviate the necessity ol
their working in the winter. There
are jobs for all who wish to work
and the job hunting, so baneful tr
the laborer of the States, is absent
here. In Alaska the job usually
seeks the man. To the progressive
fellow with a few dollars to inves'
there is always opportunity here a
home where the few spare dollar
can be made to net handsome re
turns on the investment, with th<
doubtful speculative feature so prev
alent in other places, entirely elim
inated. Alaska is truly the poo
man’s “Mecca.”
GET YOUR GOAT.
It’s a wonder, says the Ilyder
Miner, that prospectors long before
this time haven’t taken a tumble to
the value of the nanny goat, and j
quit buying canned milk to pack J
into the hills, and extra grub to feed \
i dog.
Animated milk factory, pack ani- j
mal, pet and companion, docile as j
a kitten, able to go anywhere man j
can go and then some, able to eat,
!
anything from cedar twigs to wrap-j
ping paper, an asset rather than an !
expense, the nanny goat would rev
olutionize the prospector’s life, if he
only knew it
.Just imagine—-fresh milk, rich
cream for the coffee night and
morning; 2f> to 40 pounds of a pack
transferred from weary human
shoulders to a husky animal’s back
when traveling, or an extra pack
taken along, enabling the prospector
to extend his trips away from his
base of supplies. Isn’t the picture
alluring?
Don’t feed a dog—let a goat feed
you.
BACK TO WORK.
Ninety-five thousand civilian men
and women in England must go to
work as a result of the discontinu
ance of the British government's
dole to the unemployed. This is
expected to have considerable effect
upon the labor market. In all 135,
000 persons were receiving the gov
ernment’s donation, but of these
40,000 were engineers, rendered idle
by a strike of iron molders. Of
the other 95,000, 01,000 were men
and 34,000 women. It is generally
hoped that the women will again
enter domestic service.
The government’s unemployment
dole to demobilized men and women
will continue until March 31. The
government’s donation, however, is
! limited to a maximum of nine weeks
■at one pound a week for men, and
15 shillings for women.
! The American Chamber of Com
:merce states that, since the armis
itice, 3,000,000 demobilized soldiers
jand 1,500,000 demobilized munition
; workers have been reabsorbed back
: into peace industries.

COMMUNIST ACTIVITIES.
1 Agents of the New York joint
1 legislative committee investigating
^seditious activities have discovered
j that Young People’s Socialist leagues
| to teach Communism have been
J farmed in all the important cities
jof New York slate, according to
| Deputy Attorney-General Berger. In
Rochester and some up-state cen
ters, he declared, junior leagues
'have been organized to sow the
j communist seed among children.
“The committee’s investigators
• have discovered in Rochester and
! some other important centers up
; state that the Young People’s Social
; iat league, an offshoot of the So
i ciaiisi Party of America and com
. tnoniy called ‘Ypsels,’ has aligned
. itself with the Communists and is
. devoting its time and attention to
. spreading the principles of Com
• monism,” Mr. Berger said.
“The investigators have discov
;red that the Ypsels’ have formed
junior leagues of girls and boys
between 12 and 16, to teach them
;he principles of Communism. There
is evidence to indicate that a large
Dart of this instruction is given in
schools conducted on Sunday, some
>f which are called 'Sunday Schools.'
“Those whose memory extends
back farther than a day will recall
that during the war the ‘Ypsels’
ivere quite prolific in teaching and
encouraging young men to become
conscientious objectors.’ Their
leagues are all over the state, in a'l
the important cities.”
NATIONS COMPETING
FOR ARMENIAN GOEO
LONDON.—A lively competition
for Transcaucasian trade appears to
have sprung up among the Ameri
can, British, and Italian interests
working there. The British consul
at Batum, in a report published in
the Board of Trade Journal, states
that members of the American Re
lief Committees are busily engaged
in opening up trade with America.
The British still lead in importa
tions, he asserts.
The consul states that “hitherto
little else but flour and clothing for
distribution to Armenian refugees
and persons of other nationalities
in distress have reached this coun
try from the United States, but the
attention which is being paid to the
Transcaucasus by American inter
ests points to an appreciable in
crease in American trade in the
near future.”
The Italian mission, as part of its
campaign, has established a fort
nightly service of passenger and
cargo steamers between Triest and
Batum. The route takes the boats
through the northern Black sea and
stops are made at Caucasian ports.
Arnold Gutfeld, who enlisted at
the beginning of the war in the sig
nal corps, and who was given charge
of the Skagway cable office, where
he served as messenger for several
years, was recently discharged fron
I
;he army. He will enter business
ivith his father, Max Gutfeld, the
pioneer Skagway business man. He
ms been succeeded at the cable
office by First Class Sergeant H.
G. Wescott.
