LET THERE BE LOTS OF LIGHT
Basing our observations on the need often express
ed by mariners of better lighting at the entrance of Res
urrection Bay we have repeatedly referred to the mat
ter in these columns and hereby return to the subject.
This time we have a new bee in the bonnet which
after picking it up and laying it down several times, we
believe worthy of the consideration of the powers .of
navigation both of the sea and the air.
The need of better lighting for Resurrection Bay
has long been admitted for the ships that come feeling
their way in at night but now we are about to have a
new aviation field and ships of the air will come feeling
their way in too.
Airplanes and dirigibles may not have to seek a
harbor entrance but they do require location lights
so what could be neater then combine a light or lights
for both ocean vessels and aircraft when marking the
way to Resurrection Bay, lights that can be seen both
from the ocean and from the air?
Since Seward has a large proprietorial interest in
her landing field and knowing that here wi 11 eventually
be located the central net of flying activities for this,
the Westward and Interior districts, it appears obvious
that she must take some steps towards lighting it.
As an outpost guide to the inner harbor and the landing
field, it seems that the lighthouse service, the Territory
and the city, might get together and kill the well-known
bird with the equally popular one stone.
Ford says he will operate only in a* prohibition
country. It appears that we have been misinformed
about Canada, England and Germany.
OVER CENTRALIZATION OF POWER
Despite the repeated protests and warnings of the
press of the nation and individual criticism of the ten
dency to federalize everything in the Unted States, and
the gradual encroachment of this centralized govern
ment, with its attendant special privileges to the few,
Congress has not seen fit to forsake a doctrine that is
he very antithesis of democracy.
Is it little wonder, then, that the plaint of Alaska
falls upon deaf ears, and that instead of a relaxation
of bureaucracy, each year finds the system more firmly
cemented to the Territory.
Apparantly caught in the spirit of the system, even
our own politicians, while ostensibly laboring to thwart
further encroachments, are yielding under the pres
sure of self-aggrandisement.
As long as rewards tempt the elected representa
tives of the people just so long will the present system
of complete federal control continue.
Barnum was right.
Chicago man drank embalming fluid and recovered.
Likely as not he'll tackle synthetic gin next.
