WHY NOT CUT OUT THE GUMSHOEING?
For the past twenty years Alaskan Delegates to
Congress have played the role of gumshoe ambassadors,
wheedling and cadjoling Congress for the crumbs that
fall from the table of bureaucracy.
Haven’t we had about enough of this? There is an
old aphorism that “thrice armed is he whose cause is
just ” Why not proceed along these lines;
What Alaska needs at the present writing is a del
ceate wno can go to Washington armed with a case
and who is prepared, after the gumshoe tactics fai _
they have always failed—to raise more unadultei ate l
*eli than Washinton has seen since the debates on the
question of States’ lights. #
He would at least have the backing of such organ
izations as the American Citizenship committee which
■in October reported to the American Bai Associati .
“That six presidents continuously for 30 years have attempted
reform the administrative branch at Washington is conclusive
evidence of the bureaucracy’s claim to efficiency. Its inefficiency
most be glaring, its extravagance flagrant, to thus engage the at
tention of every president for 30 years. The fact that all these pres
idents failed in their efforts is striking proof of the iron grip that
toe bureaucrats have on Congress. ‘
“Those of us who have come into contact with these depart- j
ments on the civil side know that there is in every one of them a
\ great, deal of superannuated and senile personnel that would not
fee tolerated in any business.
“Whatever power is given to the Federal Government must be I
taken from the state, local governments or from your individual
lights and liberty. But this transfer of power, this destruction of
local self government, goes on swiftly, with the ready acquiescence ,
of the people to the demands of the bureaucrats for more and more i
power.”
We have just had a striking instance of the full ex
pression of this epitome the Alaska Game Com
mission attempting to frame further encroachments!
open the livelihood of a pioneer people, opposing per-1
mission to a large proportion of Alaska’s permanent1
population to take bread and bacon from a natural re
-source of which there is an abundance.
In precious metals alone Alaska produced last year
more than double what the United States paid for the
"Territory, or better than $14,000,000. For one year!
