A Constructive Suggestion from Cordova
(Fairbanks News-Miner.l )

The Cordova Chamber of Commerce has taken the initiative in movement having as an ob- jective the establishment of Al-Alaska Cham Der of Commerce. The first meeting, provided sufficient number of local Chambers concur in the plan, would be held in Juneau during the time the Legislature is in sessien. By calling the meeting for that period the Cordovans justly believe the Chamber could be launched without ncurring burdnesome expense, for each commun- ty desiring to participate could readily appoint as it's representative some member, someone having knowledge of its interests, in attendance upon the legislative session. Outlay therefore would be restricted to local organization cost
 According to the plan suggested by Cordova the All-Alaska Chamber would consists of board representative of the member Chambers or clubs Secretary in some city most adyantageously To- cated for the work at hand. The Territorial organization would act clearing house of all problems having more than endemic scope, and would function in the interest of the Terri tory a whole
 The psn. as represented in Cordova's pro- posal is happily conceived at this time. While it does net enter into weighty detail, super fuous at this time, it does bring issue square Fly before the business interests of the Territory The issue is this Shall there be unity or shall we continue oblivious of one another to the end lthat the material progress of the North be sac Erifced?
 Fer long years now Alaska has been trodding cHc pdths ol tHe DreSOne clty state. Each com munlty has fought it out along it's own narrow front, sometimes quite selfishy and to the injury Of worthy neighbor, sometimes to the detriment of the whole Repeatedy efforts have been made by certain of the more farsighted to correct the situation, but each time the move has been blocked. We have heard often the cry that the Panhandle is the Panhandle the Westward is the Westward and the Interior the Interior, and never the trio shall meet It is time that cry were far cry
 We wall most loudly because the Outsider is prohting at our expense, and because our coun- try is misunderstood Alaska it may rightly De held, IS misunderstood within her own bound aries All this because she fails at fundamentals
 Only by taking time by the forelock giving It good twist shattering few false traditions that have persisted throughout slumberinp past can we mend the error of our ways Nou IS the time, and Cordova offers a vehicle that we can easily climb aboard

YOUNG ROCKEFELLER FURNISHES $100,000,00O FOR AN OPERA HOUSE.

For long time New ork has felt the need of new opera house. t was conceded that the cost of such an undertaking would probably be so high that it's income would not make it possible to offer attractive securities to investors, and it was discovered, also that to purchase the real estate and provide for other needfu things $1o0, GOO, 900 would be needed before the begin ming of the enterprise. Those behind the move ment called on the rich of New York to find if a single man would respond with the money. The call not in vain because almost immediately John D. Rockefeller, Jr., came to the front with the needed $1oO000, 900. This insures the opera house.
 Therefore, New York will get an opera house such as the world has not yet because the venture of John D. Rockefeller Sr., into oil in his young years banned out proftably

The old fashioned woman who used to hang to her husband, hop ing his ship would eventually come in, has daughter who ditches hers and finds one whose ship is already in port.

"What Shall It Profit?"
New York World. )


 In notable interview for The Evening World William H. Taft Chief Justice of the United States, was asked to point out "the most dis turbing element in national life" He an- swered that it the materialistc philosophy which places wealth and worldly success ahead of every other consideration in life" This 'mer- it's the consideration of every citizen who has at heart the welfare of the Nation and the future of his children and his children's children
 This materialism, post-war growth not, is at the bottom of the crime problem that ''un- questionably menaces our civilization" It dark ems the future unless it can be controlled And it is false philosophy. For asks the Chief Justice, what can it profit man to have ac- cumulated millions if he has not at the same time maintained clear conscience and acquired the goodwill and esteem of his fellow citizens?''
 The Chief Justice speaks as an optimist He believes that the American people will find a way to solve the perplexing problems that now beset them" Plainly he would seek remedy for the lust for wealth. that endangers us by the reassertion of old truths and time-tes ted standards of conduct We still can learn some lessons from the times when plain living was not thought inconsistent with the forms of success in life that were most valued and respected
