CHARITY BY FIAT

The local Chamber of Con- merce passed resolution asking the City Council to pass an or dinance making it illegal to so- ucit funds for charitable pur- poses without a permit from the City Council.
 Public sentiment does not en- dorse this resolution and it is to be hoped that the proposed ordi- nance do not pass.
 Alaskans have always beer noted for their generosity ana their willingness. to give assist ance where and when it is need ed and as soon as needed. Many a worthy case has been handled in Petersburg and other towns in a quiet way but with credit t. the community.
 The passage of such an ordi- nance will bring nothing out ri. dicule upon the town and it's ci tizens. Enough of that is don without inviting more.

A WISE WORD

Alaskans are not unaware Of the fact that Seattle was nothing but sawmill town when the gold fever struck Alaska and many men crazed thereby. If Alaska had not developed, noth- ing could have put Seattle on the commercial map-at least she would not have been any more important than Tacoma or perhaps Aberdeen.
 While it is true that Seattle has contributed to the develop ment of Alaska we must point out that benefit to Alaskans was only from the crumbs which dropped from their tables. Alas kans point to many discrimina- tions they have had to suffer as a penalty for being Alaskans. So

 A WORD TO THE WISE

In a recent issue of The Alas kas Weekly, (Seattle), the editor calls attention to the drive being made by the Los Angeles Cham Der of Commerce to make direct commercial contacts with Alas kans. Says the editor: Tn last weeks issue of The Alaska Week ly we dilated upon the fact that many Alaskans coming out for the winter through inducements offered by Los Angeles instead of wintering in Seattle stop of just long enough to look around, meet oldtime friends and are are headed for the Southern California metropolis.
 Seattle to a great extent owes her rating as a metropolitan cen- ter and a port to Alaska's gold and her proximity to the North land. Alaska's products have al- ways found market in Seattle and this port for years has been the chief distributing center for i anything and everything that has originated in the Territory. ] That this may change is evi- denced by a concerted effort in California, both north and south. to promote a trade with Alaska.

 Jackson, smaller even than Litchfield, is making over $12,- 000 Q year profit from it's power plant.
 OWatOnna, with about 5000 inhabitants averages profits from its power plant of about $75,000 8 year.
 Rochester, home of the famous Mayo brothers, surgeons, with 10000 population, put power plant profits of $153,OOO into the city treasury last year. The city owes less than $20,000 on a plant worth more than $2,OOO,OO0.
 None of these little cities charg- es more than the private plants in the same neighborhood. Most Of them charge less.

But not much is heard of the elder Lindbergh these days. That is sad, because what a monument Charles in his world spotlight could raise to his fighting father.
 There are not many books that cannot be found in the library or Congress, but you will not dis cover Congressman Lindbergh' s Why We Are at War" in Wash ington, D.

 Why We Are at War" was published by Congressman Lind bergh as we were dragged into the overseas mess and he gave the entire snap away. Had he not had considerable influence he would have joined Debs at At lanta, and so intense was the .pseudOpatriOtic feeling against him that his son had to fly him ever the mob and land him se- cretely in a field that he might make 3 speech to his constitu- ents. I regard that as the great est flying feat of Charies Lind tergh and more worthy of me- dals tIai tho5e minO. flyin5 5s that governments and c. o. P. presidents so gayly pin oo his tnaSt today.
 Not ar, rher man in 0 fclaI po- sition dared do what Congress man Lindbergh did in those first days of this nations warphooia. It was even a bigger thing than .Debs did, though Debs would have done the same thing had he been Lindbergh; nor does it make the slightest difference whether Lindbergh senior was right or President Wilson was right.

 That Alaska needs a market for her products is evident. The advertising that California aC large can give her would be worldwide. When it comes to spending money for advertising and publicity, there is not the slightest doubt but that Califor- mia knows how and will not per init any obstacles to stand in the way of her progress.
