Our yesterdays are the blocks with which we build
Foundations for the structure of today
And our tomorrows are but fading clouds
The breath of circumstance may blow away.
Were we to labor for ourselves alone
Small need for aching brow and weary brain
We strive and struggle for posterity,
: And hope to widen manhoods great domain
Who seeks for SELF tears down where he should build
8 Our yesterdays should then be broad and strong.
To hold aloft glorious today.
If we mortal, life spent in vain,
So brief it is, so full of toll and tears;
But since immortal, O. how grand to know
Each noble effort lives eternal years.

n1SfaN ments out of which wealth
lHSsMsE0 is created; human wants,
gNgB raw material and the
power which subdues it to human
use. There can be no wealth where
there are no wants. Slowly the
wants of primitive man increased
and impelled him to adapt natures
materials to satisfy them.
Gradually he discovered an In
creasing number of uses which
could be made of vegetable, ami
NAL, and mineral, for food, cloth
ing, shelter, weapons, and the like.
With multiplying wants came

we're found which increasing in
genuity and skill transformed into
wealth. Thus for many tens of
thousands of years mans desire
I for wealth grew and his know
ledge of raw material grew. but
his power, that Of his muscles re-
mained the same.
Then, late in the history of the
race, only four generations ago,
came a sudden and profound i'm
portant change. The substituting
of mechanical for vital power,
when, however. mechanical power
was substituted for vital, when it
became possible to rely on the

crease power indefinitely.
But this is not all. Science is
enriching the world. 1t is con-
stantly increasing our knowledge
of the earth and its materials, and
revealing unsupported sources to
wealth. The value of our mineral
products is we'll above $3,O00.000.-
600 a year. Some of these minerals
which now add many millions an
nually to our wealth, were either
unknown or supposed to be worth.
less a few years ago.
Thus. with ever multiplying
human wants, and with science
ever finding new possible values in
the mineral world. there is literally
no limit to the possible wealth of
mankind. Science, moreover. is
not only discovering new raw ma
terials, but is revealing new and
more economical methods of re-
ducing them to use. Of course,
the amazing increases of prOduc-
tioD since the middle of the nine
teenth century has enormously
stimulated consumption, but not
withstanding the rapid elevation
of the standard of living since the
war, the enormous increase of
wealth has been still more rapid.
And the scientific method we have
| in handling our agricultural pro-
ducts, make the United States the
wealthiest nation on earth.
Wealth is more powerful than
formerly not only because there is
more of it but because wealth has
many new requirements. That Is,
there are many new and rapidly
increasing wants which only wealth
can satisfy. If q savage has only
two wants, wealth has to him only
two requirements. If we have
two thousands wants wealth means
a thousand times as much to US as
! to him. It is a characteristic OF
civilization that it multiplies wants,
There are many hundreds of peo.
pie in the United States whose
business it is to create new wants.
The government issued nearly
4O, 900 patents in 1919. and the OBJ.
ject of every one of these inven-
tions was to create new want, OF

1raf6El tives a short time ago,
I@kGa passed an amendment to
N-Na the government Alaskan
railroad act by which the addi-
tional sum of $17, ,OOO,0 900 was ap-
propriated for the completion OF
the road by December 81, 1922.
The debate was presumably more
or less tinged with partisan poll
tics. Leaving out the politics many
interesting facts of value were
were brought out concerning
Alaska-Land of the Midnight
Sun-which has proved veritable
treasure trove to the United States
and is only at the beginning of its
development. Some of these facts
are here given, with credit to the
various representatives..
Mr.. Curry of California.-Mr.
Chairman, in 1857 when Alaska
was purchased through the efforts
of Secretary of State Seward from
Russia for 81, 200, 900. which was
less than 2 cents an acre, the Euro
pean nations poked fun at the
United States, and the papers of
the United States ridiculed Secre-
tary Seward and referred to
Alaska as Stewards Iceberg"
The climate of the most of Alas
ka is better than that of Scandina-
via and New Foundland. Vege-
tables and cereals can be and are
raised there, and it is the richest
undeveloped mineral section on
the face of the earth.
Time has justified Stewards pur-
chase of Alaska for tho UniJed
States. Since 1859 Alaska has
produced over $S4O. 900, 900 worth
of wealth; $3Oo.000,O0O of that
from her fisheries. most of the rest
from her mines and from her furs.
In the same time Alaska has
bought from the United States
100000, 900 worth of property. 1t
has done that under existing law
that practically ties up the re-
sources of Alaska and prohibits
them from being developed.
In 1914 under these conditions,
knowing that Alaska should be
developed and that a railroad could
not and would not be built by pri-
vate enterprise. the congress OF
the United States enacted a law
authorizing the president to con-
struct a railroad or railroads in
Alaska, not to exceed 1000 miles
in length, and authorized the ex-
penditure by him of $35, ,OO0,OOO
for that purpose. The president
placed the construction of the road
under the control of the secretary
of the interior, and he in turn Or
ganized what is known as the
Alaskan engineering commission
to take practical charge of the
work.
The original authorization OF
$35, 100000 would have con.
structed this road under ordinary
conditions and circumstances, but
the war came along. wages in.
creased SO per cent. the cost ol
material increased up to 161 pei
cent and transportation up to 141
per cent. Under those circum
stances the $35, 900, 900 is not suf
ficient to complete the work. i
is. therefore, absolutely necessary
unless we wish to sacrifice th'
$35, 900, 900 already invested. tina
this SIT, 100000 authorization b.
allowed.
The road, when completed, will
be COL miles in length. The mail
line, from Seward to Fairbanks
will be All miles in length. Th'
spurs and branches and side line
will make up the COL miles. Al
of the road has been completed
with the exception of some worl
to be done to complete the first q
