BUREAUCRATIC OPPOSITION
CHH
In a recent newspaper interview an officer of the
Alaska Game Commission expressed disapproval of a
movement started by the Cook Inlet Trappers and Game
Protective Association having for its purpose the en
largement of the Organic Act of Alaska to permit of
election of a member of the commission from each of
the three fur districts. His reasons as stated were that
such choosing of representatives by ballot would bring
the game and fur question into politics.
The taking of fur in Alaska is paramount to any
other industry such as farming, mining or kindred en
deavors. The officer’s standpoint would be as logical if
applied to any business entering into the economic field
of endeavor. By the same reasoning it would appear
to be quite proper to disband Territorial government
entirely and allow matters to be run solely by the bur
eaus, a condition almost a fact at the present time.
Of course, if Alaska were allowed to elect represent
atives to the Game Commission they would be responsi
able to the electors and amenable to their desires rather
than, as at present, occupying the status of overlords,
set without consent or choice of the voters and respon
sible only to the federal government and the political
machine that stood godfather to their selection. Which in
turn is a federal machine dominated by those wiio are
recipients of government pap.
Had this official stopped with his objection to Alas
kans having the ballot with respect to one of their im
portant economic affairs it might pass as one man’s opin
ion. Rather he gave voice to this policy of the Commiss
ion: “Until we are convinced that violations of the law
have ceased we will not open the season on beaver.”
The records of criminal prosecutions, or arrests for
fur violations do not bear out the officer’s arraignment.
It would appear more reasonable if the Commission and
its game wardens brought the actual offenders to the
bar of justice. In the present instance he appears to ac
knowledge that the Commission and its game wardens
are impotent in dealing with the matter.
If there are infractions of beaver taking the closed
season appears to be the time when such infractions oc
cur and not when it is legal to take pelts.
This officer’s idea of preventing law infractions is
a dangerous one. Just suppose that the Fisheries Bureau
employed this method whenever it was discovered that
some fisherman was snitching a fish illegally!
If the various bureaus are bent upon thwarting
home rule for Alaska it is about time they were forced
into the open through natural employment of a consti
tutional right—the right to petition.
In laying out your New Year resolutions you might
begin with this one. Burn Alaska coal.
THE OLD RELIABLE
As Old Man Winter begins to puff out his cheeks
and blow winds from all directions and the seas look
sullen and dark and break with threatening roar along
the rocky coasts, the citizens of Seward and especially
those of the Westward say, “Well, the Steamer Starr
has gone to Seattle again to get ready for the battle
with the elements. She may need overhauling and fix
ing up but she is sorely missed. It would be a pretty
how-de-do if we didn’t have the old Starr to rely on
thru these long months.”
We hope that those five million embryo red sal
mon we sent to Washington hatcheries do not try to
high hat their cousins from the Columbia river by tell
ing how father climbed a glacier single handed. Enough
of these tall stories have gone out of Alaska.
“Chinese soldiers discard pigtails,” says an exchange.
And a good many have discarded heads along with them.
Gosh, think of it! Three Kentucky distilleries are
permitted by the government to make a million and a
half gallons of real whiskey. But there’s a catch in it.
You have to be sifck to get it. Doesn’t that make you sick?
