CIRCULATION OPARANTEED TO BE MOItE THAN
DOl'BLE THAT OF ANY OTHER ALASKA NEWSPAPER
FARM-LABOR PARTY AN INCONSISTENCY
It ought not to require iltep study of economic
conditions for the farmers to discover that there
is no kinship between their interests and the at
picr.cnt dominating policies of organised labor in
the United States. Farmers are producers and they
pie confronted by problems similar to those which
confront other producers. They have to look to for
eign markets In which to sell their surplus just ns do
our manufacturers. At the present time, threofore,
the farmers, like the manufacturers, Bhould be in
ure ted in lessening the cost ot production. That
means need for cheaper transportation (which in
volves need for lower cost of fuel), lower prices for
manufactured goods and lower cost for labor.
In the end such u program would not be dis
advantageous to labor. It would help its situation,
for it would lead to greater consumption, more work |
and prices which would enable the workingman to
save as much a-* ho can save now with the excessive j
wages. At the prosent time, however, organized lalHir.j
is committed to the exclusion of immigration and to
getting the highest wages that can be secured through I
a monopoly of the supply. That is a program that
makes production more costly and, through competi
tion from countries where production eost is less, de
prives all producers, including tin farmers, of foreign
markets.
The present tendency among those of all classes in
all "activities is to profiteer. That is the natural re
tult of the trend of present day legislation. He who
tellr, including the workingman, is seeking to get
tlie highest pai.iible price for his product--is trying’
\» get as much us possible and gtvo us little for it
as possible. Many farmers have been deluded into
believing that it would be a fine thing to uecept tills
condition provided they could got the Government to
fix minimum prices for their products. It is so plain,
however, that if the Government should do this it
would ho nocetcary for It 1o fix all prices, wholesale i
and retail, for ull products of labor and for labor;
iI cel f. Such a proposal, even in these days of trying
to cure everything through governmental supervision,
is so stupendous that it takes the breath. It would
lead. Inevitably, to Socialism—with n big ‘'S.”
One would think that the interest of the farmers
of tlie country would make it plain to them that
there is need for the removal of restrictions to trade
and production—the nearest possible approach to free
tiude, permission fer the immigration of all who are
clean and healthy in body and mind who may desire
to come to this country, reduction of the cost of
production and an abundance of sound money to sup
port legitimate credits the adjustment of the Ruro
peau situation, and organization among themselves
for protection against middlemen and gamblers in their
products through a more scientific method of market
ing and distribution.
Such a program would not load to a Farmor-Labor j
I'arty, but it would lead to a bigger, better and i
happier United States.
LET’S MAKE A SHORT ITT OF IT ALL.
In view of tho tendency of (he times to settle
everything through legislation why not do away with
Individual responsibility by amending the Constitu
tion? Why no, have amendments providing—
That no resident of the United States
:hall work, but all residents shall be pros
perous and enjoy all known luxuries;
That no resident of the United States
shall become ill,but all residents shall be
happy;
That all residents ot the United States
shall have all knowledge without going to
school;
That all residents of the United States
rhall be good and go to Heaven when they
die?
W'hy not make a short cut of the whole game?
What n the use of appealing to one's sense of right
and individual responsibility to his God and fellow- ,
men when it is so easy to remedy things with laws !
and resolutions? Why so much pains to build indi- j
vidual charaoter when it can all be done at one[t
swoop through collectivism? ,
GENERAL OBREGON’S TRIUMPH NEAR, j
Again reports come from Washington that Mexl- I
can recognition is near at hand. It is said that the 1
negotiations have progressed so far that all would
have been ready for the recognition of Presdient 0
Obregon and his Government and the resumption of ^
tegular diplomatic relations upon tlie return of Prssi- |
dent Harding to Washington. President Coolidge will J i
probably act in the premises at an early date. ‘
This is hopeful news for the entire continent. ^
When the United States recognizes Mexico European f
Governments will also do so. Most of the Central
and South American Governments have already done c
to. With recognition everywhere and her finances jj
on a stable basis, business should resume a 1921 |
ttatus in Mexico. The boom at that time was the f
lesult cf the wisdom of President Obregon in tils- t
carding the paper currency that was in circulation
and providing for tp.e circultytion of nothing Outsold
gnd ellvcr, and, of course the restoration of law
I
uid oilier. Round money was a stimulus to work and
;haos was cleared away by the production which
followed.
President Obregon has performed u wonderful
■ervloe for his people. He earned recognition for his
Government long ago, but has worked on, under I
conditions that would have overwhelmed a man of
Ices tenacity of purpose and less ability, with his
Cabinet and oftiers toward the end that seems to be
near, patiently and persistently, In a manner that
stamps him as one of the big men of the Continent.
N< wspapers are reporting all sorts of yurns from
Washington these days. One of the latest reports,
given out by the International News Service, is
that Senator Henry Cabot Iardge will succeed Secre
tary of State Hughes and William M. Butler, Re
publican National Committee from Massachusetts, will
succeed Attorney-Generul Daugherty ^t an early
date. However, the wise readers will wait to see.
or do their own guessing. ,
Hrltish tars to the number of 150 marched In the
Harding memorial parade at Honolulu the day of the
President's funeral. They followed American soldiers
and sailors. It Is the first time in history that such
a tribute has been shown by foreigners. It followed
a request from the Britishers for the privilege of
showing their respect for America’s dead.
What Makes Californiacs?
(San Francisco Journal. M*
The "Californiac” may not be a Californian at all.
Ilf 1g un “ac“ that considers all perfection to dwell
In the Golden State. There is no reasoning with
him. He Is beyond cure. We like his song, but
occasionally we get surfeited with self-praise. In
there moments when overcome with frankness we look
jii the other side of the picture and ask why Cali
fc i nians are different from average folks in some re
-pccts which are not wholly to their credit? It is a
revere trial to the “Californiac” to be told of short
comings, but un honest confession is good for the soul.
A well-known San Srancisco minister in a recent ser
mon ascribed some of our dominant moral short
comings to the effect of an overly stimulating climate.
It is a fact that our climate is so kindly that it does
not give people much to think about in the way of
resisting the devil. Now then, a country where the
people get sunptroke in summer and frozen feet in
winter lias a constant reminder of the uncertainties of
life very conducive to meditation upon the moralities.
"A reasonable number of fleas Is good for a dog,"
says David Harum, “Just to keep him from forgetting
that he is a dog.”
California is notably abnormal with respect to
things political. Not only is it often surprising in
avion, but it is notably critical and fault finding.
Perhaps Senator Johnson reckons on this trait when
jie espouses causes at variance with the best judgment
of a majority cf the people. Years ago Grover
Cleveland called this the knocker state and said that
he seldom mude an appoinnient here that did not
elicit a thousand protests. The same disposition has!
been noted by many others. Instead of co-operating
cheerfully together wo pull vigorously apart. We
become provinc lal, self-centered and hypercritical,
slow to see the good in our neighbors. The southern i
part ot the state, with its large influx of people from
the Middle West, that notable testing ground for
liberal ideas, is loss troubled with this foreshortening
of moral perspective.
There is scarcely any dispute, in circles frank
enough to discuss the matter without gloves, that we
are lacking in those amiable qualities which make for
harmony and working togother. It is too much 6f
“every fellow for himself and devil lake the hind
most." That is never good policy for community
advancement.
History Befuddled.
(New York Tribune.)
Assuming the correctness of the citations made by
the philosopher of history, who is modestly content
to stand hidden In the shadow of a great name, to
wit, David Hlrsb-field, we must regurd some of the
histories which lie mentions as unlit for use in Am
erican schools. A writer of American history who
disposes of Hunker Mill in only 17 words must be
cithrr a genius or a fool. Books that picture the
American colonists as mostly “a rather worthless lot;"
Samuel Adams, John Hancock and Patrick Henry as
“disreputable characters," and the English' colonial:
system In stamp act times as “not tyrannical," are
limply absurd.
On the other hand, tjiis unnamed censor makes
himself absurd—perhaps with the generous intent of
making the signature to his report seem real—by
iaging against tome of the best established facts of
history. If the American Revolution was not ;
-*vil war between two factions of British subject!
t would be interesting to know what it was. Cer
aiuly It was as truly a civil war as the war among
lie States in 1861-65, which latter would also have
>cen a revolution If it had succeeded. If some ol
>ur principles of liberty do not date back to Magus
'hartu it would he interesting to have it explainer
low Hinio of the principal items in the Bill ol
tights of our Constitution art In both letter and
spirit practically identical with some in the Runny
meado document. If ;iny one wants to deny thai
Samuel Adams was “a shrewd, hard-headed politi
dan, wo advise him to lie uncommonly low wher
Sam s spirit next revists the glimpses of the moon
And while Thomas Jefferson assuredly was not “ar
atheist, a liar and a demagogue," there Is not t
iliadow of doubt that, as one of the books records
lie was so looked upon by his enemies.
Poe. in one of his most famous tales, sets fort!
the proposition that the longer a pendulum is th.
swifter are its vibrations. Apparently the longei
the course of history is the more extreme are iti
iberrations. School books of a generation or twe
igo were resonant with the screaming of the eagh
ind the roar of battle. Today those voices are sup
ilanted by the shudders of the pacifist and the sta
sit leal demonstrations of the economist. Betweer
he two, were there no other possible choice, we
ihould certainly incline to the former. But in spite
t loes strange physics, we must hope that some
a> the pendulum of history will grow so long as to
low down to a “dead center" of trnth gnd reason
Did wo confidently believe that! a fnlthful and ihA
lartial history of America would be far more In
creating as well as more instructive than any
i rod net cither of rampant jingoism or of the Intel
tctuul Internationale.
