Tho Old Cynic, and no ono other, i3 responsible for tho
follow! •
An editorial in Alaska's leading newspaper says: MThoo0 are
gloomy days as the Territorial Legislature behaves like a bull in
a china closet- *« '» the legislators appear to have discarded
the welfare of Alaska in favor of politics. They are putting the
bite on business to such an extent that expansion will be economi
cally unsound »<• Tho taxes would bo an offectioe barrier to
economic development. They would also ^epordize tho eoonimic health
of existing businesses 11 <.
We agree with ever} word of this*
Alaskans claim to bo very sensitively awake politically! so
they must know .hast whom they have sent to the Legislature* Is
there dny reason to believe that the peopla of Alaska would send
V any di'fe^ont kind of people to their Ldgislature if Alaska were
ST.iTE ?.
