WHAT KANATAK NEEDS
There is a chap in Seward today who has been sadly
and sincerely missed for the last eight or nine years;
Dick Lane. Dick went over to the Cold Bay oil fields
during the boom days and has been there ever since. And
he goes back to Kanatak on the next voyage of the Starr, j
Seward has missed him from many standpoints but i
principally, he is one of those rare birds, “all-wool and a j
yard wide”; a hundred percenter if there ever was one.;
Dick, who during his former years in this city was j
an official of the Alaska Northern, and later engaged;
in the real estate business, says Kanatak needs three j
things above everything else, a doctor, dentist and a hos-;
pital. Here is an opportunity for Seward to back up a j
man who has, in his time, accomplished many splendid
things for this city. There isn’t a man, as far as we know,
but who hasn’t got a warm spot in their heart for Dick,
so let’s go down the line for him and assist him in ob
taining what he feels that country over there needs.
CREATING HUMAN MACHINES
According to reports brought back from the States
by Alaskans who visited there during the past winter,
not only has big business and industry adopted the slo
gan “Fire but do not hire at 40” but are going a step
further. On * ome railroads the age limit for hiring is 29.
Assuming that a man readies the zenith of his phy
sical powers at 29 and that, accepting the verdict of the
mass produetionists, he is useless at 40, this would allow
nine years in which a man might hope to accumulate
sufficient to guarantee against the alms house in the
years following his passing to the scrap heap.
It is estimated that machinery is displacng approx
imately 600,000 men annually. These, for the most part,
are what may be termed technologists, or men in the
skilled crafts." Add to this the effort of the machine craz
ed manufacturer and operator of utilities to cast all men
above 40 years of age into the discard and one begins to
wonder where it will end.
The situation is productive ot wnat may oe property
termed a scrapping of all of the fundamentals of hum
an society, not the least of which is the purely human ele
ment, which takes into consideration the right of oppor
tunity for every man to advance into ripe old age while
serving the human hive. This effort to convert human
powers into a machine, and like the machine drive it to
full capacity until deterioration manifests itself, further
illustrates the point that the nation has apparently
gone money mad.
At first glance the situation looms as serious. Yet
there is an element to be reckoned with that may upset
the best laid plans of those who consider their less fortu
nate fellows in terms of dollars and cents. It is the or
ganized power of labor, plus a rapidly crystallizing ac
ceptance of its philosophy by the professional man of
highly specialized administrative help.
We have an illustration of this power in England
where Labor is being looked to to adjust an inelastic sit
uation apparently gone beyond the abilities of those who
in times past put into operation the very system nowT be
ing fostered by big business in the United States. With
respect to America, the ger mof equality of rights, self
expression and kindred concomitants of our constitution
al fabric has produced a different man from the age-dis
ciplined subject of an aristocratic class.
It is to be hoped there will come a recession from the
human machine idea before the germ of unrest passes
from the now extreme red to the great middle class.
When it does, Good Night!
A new government is formed in France, takes its
seat and get:; ousted on the first ballot on a vote of lack
of confidence. Think of what a hi-yu time we’d have if
the system applied to Washington.

II COME NORTH 1331
The Seward Chamber of Com- i
merce has received a telegram \
from Col. Otto F. Ohlson, general
manager of the Alaska Railroad,
in which he imparts the informa
tion there is an excellent oppor- j
tunity of having about 250 mem- j
bers of the National Editorial As
sociation to come to Alaska in
1931. for their annual excursion.
That at this time Fairbanks '
would be the goal for the members j
of the Fourth Estate. The local j
organization, and The Gateway. !
(member of the National Editorial
Association) have been asked to
cooperate in the plan. Other or
ganizations and newspapers in
the T rritory likewise have been
informed and their cooperation
sought.
According to information this
morning relative to the time of j
arrival in the Port of Seward of j
the S. S. Alaska from the south, j
7 a. m. tomorrow is it.
Yesterday afternoon the con
crete workers began to pour their
