GOVERNMENT OF ALASKA J
The establishment of a new Federal pol- ^
icy in Alaskan government has the endorse- <
ment of Gov. Parks. The bill which was re- |
cently passed by the Senate, will centralize ,
the work of the three administrative de- <
partments in the Territory, the Depart- ,
ments of the Interior, Agriculture and Com- ,
merce. Each department will delegate a *
commissioner, who will be styled ex-officio \
commissioner for Alaska. The President is <
authorized to place under the supervision 1
and direction of one of the three ex-officio j
commissioners “any governmental activity ^
relating to Alaska provided for by law.”.
It is believed that the enactment of this \
legislation will lead to greater simplicity j
and economy in the government of Alaska,
Gov. Parks stated to The Gateway today, \
and will produce greater efficiency through ^
proper co-ordination of effort on the part of '
the various executive departments now ex- ,
ercising authority over the Territory. The 1
plan has also been endorsed by the Secre- ,
taries of the Interior, Agriculture and Com- l
merce. r
WHEN YOUTH FARES FORTH
<
1
It is now only a matter of a few days un-1
til the usual army of boys and girls, eyes
but recently freed from the strain of exam
inations and hands clutching diplomas or
degrees, will “stand on the threshold of life”
as the baccalaureate speakers are so fond of
saying.
The older folks are inclined to sit back in
their comfortable chairs and smile at the
youngsters as the latter confidently step out
to meet the new problems and associations
so suddenly thrust upon them. “Poor
fledgings,” one can hear them say, “here
they are again, thinking they can reform
the world—and the world will not be re
formed.”
But the older folks’ smiles and criticisms
contain more of envy than of pity. How
often they have wished they had more of
the idealism, nay, dauntless courage, of
youth! But they lost it through the com
panionship of those wary elders, Age and
Experience; and their precious little ambi
tions have been obscured amid the growing
responsibilities of taking care of the sick,
educating the children and performing the
other duties of maturity.
What a pity the youngsters cannot pro
fit by the experience of the older folks and
thereby avoid the countless pitfalls which
drag down so many promising youths! An
equal pity that the oldsters cannot retain
their former enthusiasm. Probably the
world would see fewer failures then, fewer
misfits. But the law of life demands other
wise. After all, each age has its own com
pensations. Age its past, and Youth its
future. And when all is said the present
crop of youngsters wil produce tomorrow’s
great men as well as its failures. May the
latter be scarce.
Nicaragua is planning to tax every <
batchelor $5 a month for the support of 1
spinsters. No wonder rebellions are on' j
foot. Risky governmental experiments are S
too common in Central America. : E
