LEGISLATING A POPULATION
Whenever business seems slow or some needed
change in conditions is apparent, we hear some one say,
"There should be a law passed”.
There is no more widespread fallacy than the idea
that we can change conditions by the passage of laws.
Laws are the result of conditions, not the cause. Plato
said about three thousand years ago, “A thing is not
bad because it is forbidden, it is forbidden because it is
bad.”
We are impatient because our population in Alaska
js not greater. The fisherman demands a law placing a
prohibitory tax on seasonal fishermen who come from
the States in the summer time and return to their homes
m the fall. He sees his own immediate problem but for
gets the ten thousand workers employed in the Bristol
Bay and Peninsular areas, sections where it is man
ifestly impossible to support any considerable winter
population.
What we need is not more laws but more industries.
Southeastern Alaska sees light ahead in the shape of
pulp and paper mills which will furnish employment to!
thousands in the mills and woods before and after
the salmon harvest is ^arne^ed. In Southwestern and
Southern Alaska we hope for some relief through the
increased oil and mining development but the brightest
outlook is probably seen in the growing demand in the
States for fillet fish. Cod, snappers, black bass and a
hundred other varieties of the finest kinds of edible fish
dwell in untold numbers in our coastal waters. The
season runs the year around. Our commercial organ
izations would do well to encourage outside canita! to
mve°t in plants for the preparation of these delicious !
io a lish. The population will come fast enough whenj]
remuneratve labor is furnished the fishermen.
A Boston man promised to retire when he had made
a million, and he kept his word. We are sometimes
tempted to make a similar vow.
Results of Hie London conference <?o far suggest the
advisability of keeping avowed pacifists as far apart as
possible.
The pioposed tariff law must be flevible, judging j
oy the way the argument over it is stretching out.
... saddest Scotch joke is on the fellow who buvs it
thinking it is really Scotch. *
