A new (Old strike - In Alaska, : old-timers who know - that territory Insist, la the only - , thing that will saw the pioneers . who are now being taken to that distant land by the benevolent gov. ' r,, ernment In the hope of giving them - ' a fresh start in life and making . - them- self-supporting. . - . .-. . : ; j 2 For the, simple truth Is that Alaska, ' while a most interesting - ' 1 part of the world for tourists, is not 1 precisely the sort of .Canaan , that - our forefathers ' came . over in the ' Mayflower,, or earlier with John , Smith, were seeking. Nor Is it the 1 agricultural paradise that the later i , pioneers found along the Ohio and ,. ' , Missouri rivers. There is plenty of evidence to support this contention, hut it is an old saying that no one, much less any government, is will- lng to profit by another's experi ence. The cruel facts' have to be " discovered afresh for each genera .,; , tion. '.'- , Warren O. Harding dreamed the same sort of future for Alaska that the Belief , administration envisages for the down and outers it is send ing to the frozen North. When a small boy in school, he read about the acquisition of this marvelous territory for only a few million dol lars. Be had read how more gold ; than the purchase, price had been w taken out Yet there remained mar velous natural resources, coal, Iun ber, furs, water power without end t, and salmon.' Not to mention n agricultural domain so rich that its products, put up in glass jars, . has played an Important part in 41 Inducing congress to ,vote $50,000,- (" 000, In the early Wilson days, for , the construction of a railway to i. open this marvelous territory np to one and all. The railroad was built, but tbe expected results did not follow. The . population of the territory was ac . y tually declining instead of lncreast ' lng. Harding was told what was the matter.; It was that governmental red tape snarled up every effort Tor ? - advancement 'Everything had to be .-. transacted via Washington, which was a long way off, both in miles , i and time: - " Herbert Hoover, then secretary of " . commerce, was also impressed. He grew fond of the story of the three bears, one variety being nnder the Department of the Interior, another 1 under , Commerce, and the third .. , tinder Agriculture I ; He ) made speeches about the absurdity of It. ' What Harding Found - i So Harding' took the three secre-i tarles to Alaska intending to listen to the various problems and difficul ties by day, and sit around the table each night with the three eab- .' , Inet members Involved, snipping away the red tape. Beautiful 1 Bat what did he find? That If he cut ' away this red tape, and the red tape .winders went back to tbe states, );' Alaska would lose Its chief Indus try red tape winding I The clerks i , and officials whose jobs depended on this same red tape would re ;', turn to "civilization" and the white population of Alaska Would be re duced by Just that number." I..: Which Is no Joke at all when It ,zi - Is considered that the total popula tion along the fifty-millloq-dollar . government railroad, from Seward to Fairbanks longer than from Washington to Boston, just tbe dls ; tance from San Francisco to Los 'i' Angeles Is 6,000, Including Esqui maux! Secretary of.AgrlcultureWallace, father of the present incumbent dis covered that the rich agricultural land so much boasted about has a normal rainfall of less than that of eastern Colorado. It would ' grow . good crops the first year after the . frozen lands was plowed, and after 1 that would really need Irrigation I ,' j. Secretary Hoover discovered the ;. ' salmon industry was suffering ., ..-- :C . from too much activity. They were I , killing oft the fish. .' v . ( f Secretary of the Interior Work ' was distressed to learn that the ' ' coal, which had been thought so , j j -valuable it bad been protected into " V naval coal reserve, was of such poor quality and cost so much to V , , get on shipboard, that down through the panhandle,' Including v Juneau ' u"i.y na Sitka, they bought coal from i ' British Columbia Instead! " " All discovered that the boys who .' r al gone to war from Alaska did 'not come back. They stopped off I somewhere In the states where op , ' ' portunltles looked better. So let - , 'ns hope for the sake of those how ' " pilgrimaging - np toward. Skagway '' lhat a new gold field is discovered l - -New Commerce Head 'J Despite the fact that the Chamber of Commerce of the United States has picked - a', new president -who , happens to be a very close personal friend of President . Roosevelt s classmate at,' Harvard, both of old upstate New York families, and all t that sort of thing prospects re :. main that tbe chamber will continue to have Just as little Influence n . . Washington as it has since Hoover ' ,1. : ', . left the White' House. I?.-?, ;j' :y; 1 ; -If anyone could be calculated to , "get somewhere " with the ; White House; It would be harper 8lbley. In the first place, the personal re- Dntion of the two families Is so close t ".,-. Eoorevelt who stopped In ' , ; - :tet with Km Caroline O'Day last fall, ed at the Sibley borne. In the se- J, Mr. Sibley's economic views are no means as far re moved fr a those of the President as the nc is dispatches about the chamber's meeting would have one believe.' a very close friend of many years' standing tells line writer that he is one of those ricn men who regard tbe rich as being "trustees," not "holders" of wealth! Which sounds very New Dealist, to-. aeedis:;1,!;,vv:i-vv There Is another angle,' however, on which his fellow members' of the chamber, In picking bim for president, relied, rather than, - on their misinformation about his eco nomic views. This is his ability to work out a compromise, and to In duce, those with whom he is work lng To co-ordinate. He is said by those associated with' bim,'; either in bis lines of business, charitable or church . Interests, to be marvel ously persuasive, ., though no , one Claims that he is an orator. But the whole picture, is wrong- meaning ; the picture viewed by those who think that Mr. Sibley Is going to be able to steer, the PresI dent tactfully away from -the New Dealers and brain trusters, and back Into safe and sane economic" chan nels. President Roosevelt Is Just not that kind of person, and there is no club, whatever, in Mr. Sibley's hands which rouses any fear, what ever, In political minds. Can't Scare 'Em .J3"', It Is not possible for an organiza tion like the Chamber of Commerce of the United States to frighten politicians. It' Is a collection of very potent figures, in business, but their potency is too dlffiuse, too scat tered, spread out too thin, to both er men ..running for- the house' or senate, Or even for President Two accomplishments : very, dear to business hearts have been put over In the last few month but the machinery that accomplished It was not the chamber, nor any other huge aggregation of widely diversi fied and spread out business Inter ests. 1 , " , One of these was repeal of the pink slip publicity " for income tax returns. This was done by two agen cies, working Independently. One. stirred np the newspaper editors of America. Practically all of them began writing editorials against In come tax DOblleitv. manv of th eill. torlals advising people to write to tneir senators and representatives. Later tbey carried extensive stories about the effect of letters and teler grams on congress, which naturally provoked more. . Tbe other was' the Pitcairn organ ization, which circulated repeal slips, and worked up the people to write to Washington. It was this resulting avalanche of letters which did the trick.' Then there was the modification of the public utility holding .com pany legislation,, This was made possible, despite; the power of the President, on Capitol Hill, by the: utilities inducing their stockholders to write to their senators and rep resentatives. Most of the legisla tors were amazed to find bow many utility stockholders were . among their constituents.- And when they saw these stockholders were watch ing the legislation, the picture changed.
