LAUDABLE COURAGE
The Stal«' of Michigan seeks to erect a radio sta-1
tion with a wave-length of 124 meters and five kilowatt;
power for use of the' police powers in apprehending
criminals. The Radio Commission, which has become
all-powerful as the servant of the Radio Trust, al ter;
consulting with the Department of Justice, issued 01 - j
ders to Governor Greer, not to erect the station, along.
with instructions to its agents in Michigan “to arrest;
the proper persons” (meaning Governor Green) if the
State started to put up the radio station.
Governor Green retorts: “Michigan will not delay.
Let them try to arrest us! We’ll do some arresting our-j
selves! If they come here interfering we’ll throw them
out of the State!”
Continuing further the Governor says: lhe .Leg- i
islature has stipulated that a station be established.
We expect to carry out the mandate. Michigan is simp-,
lv asserting a fundamental principle of American gov
ernment and if the (radio) commission gets in the way,
that's the commission’s fault, not ours. The police
powers reserved to the State, is not subject to any
limitation. If the Radio Commission believes it more
impoi unit that the ether be filled with jazz music and
advertisements than that criminals be apprehended and
punished, that’s the commission’s privilege. We don’t
think that way and we’re not going to be controlled
by anyone who does.”
The episode will have far-reaching effect in deter
mining how much farther federal usurpation of State’s
rights may go before somebody starts the fireworks.
So powerful lias become the Radio Trust and its child,
the Radio Commission, that they are now issuing forms
of laws and city ordinances and having them enacted
throughout the land, making private enterprise and
industry subordinate to what the Governor of Michi
gan characterizes as “ether filled with jazz and ad
vertisements.”
This great octopus of the last decade has unloaded
an incomplete innovation upon the public, but failed
to provide means by which disturbances could be eli
minated by attachments to the radio. Rather they de
mand that industry not connected with the sixty mil
lion dollar organization, adjust its mechanical appara
tus to a point of actual cessation of operation during
the “jazz" hours of broadcasting, forcing people to lis
ten to extravagant advertising and salacious “wise
cracks.”
These ordinances will fructify in another ramifi
cation of the Radio Trust—a branch manufacturing
filters, etc.—which will be forced upon industry with
out option of competition now that the Trust controls
all patent-' and is seeking to absorb every electrical
manufacturing industry in the United SUfes.
A cheering note emanates from the position of Gov
ernor Green 01 Michigan. Maybe other executives will
assert the rights of their citizens to control affairs
delegated under the Constitution, which our latter-day
lories are endeavoring to nullify under the camouflage
of “progress.”
Another beautiful and informative booklet has been
produced by the Alaska Steamship Company and has
been distributed throughout the Nation as well as Al
aska. A handsomely illustrated booklet in which is
described the wonders of the Territory. Profuse with
Alaska scenics, and well written, tourists will enjoy it
from cover to cover, as have Alaskans themselves.
In the Alaska School Bulletin for April there ap
pears a fine photograph of the Seward school building
with an accompanying article describing the building in
every detail. Thanks are hereby tendered Leo. W.
Breuer, Commissioner of Education, for the excellent
publicity of the local institution which Seward citizens
are so proud of.
Leaving Seward on the S. S.
Aleutian, May 10, Dr. A. R. Rob
ers, local dentist and member of
the City Council, goes to Eugene.
Ore., where he will attend the
State Dental Convention.
Dr. Roberts anticipates he will
be absent from the city for about
two months but that his office
will not be closed as he has made ;
arrangements with Dr. R. N. !
Scruby to assume charge.
Upon Dr. Roberts return from
the Outside he will proceed to
Anchorage, with other members
of the Territorial Dental Board
in which city the annual meeting
'’•ill be held and whnre examina
tions will be held for dentists ap
plying for certificates.
Dr. Roberts just recently re- I
ceived his appointment as a j
member of the Board of Dental j
Examiners for the Territory of
Alaska from Gov. Geo. A. Parks.
Mr. Gage, well known local
resident for many years, who was
suddenly stricken ill yesterday
while engaged in longshoring on
the Seward Dock and was rushed
to Dr. Hyatt’s hospital, has fully
recovered. It is thought that he j
suffered from a stroke of heart j
trouble.
MOOSE PASS ROAD OPEN
Reports from Moose Pass receiv
ed here yesterday announced the
first trip of the season had been
made over the famous scenic
highway from Mile 29 to Hope:
the report, however, said another 1
week will probably see the road |
in fair shape, providing cars keep j
off and do not cut it up.
FRANCIS RETURNING
Francis Leslie, former local high
school student, who has been at
tending preparatory school in the
states for entrance to Annapolis
Naval Academy, will be among
those embarking from Seattle on
the first voyage of the Alaska
Steamship Co., liner Aleutian.
Francis took his entrance exami
nations on April 16 but will not
know as to the outcome of these
before July. During the while he
is waiting as to the results he will
be employed at Nenana.
The Admiral Evans, of the Pa
cific Steamship Company, which
left yesterday for the Westward
will leave the Port of Seward
southbound Sunday morning, ac
cording to the local office.
