Getting Action on Alaska
—Pacific Highway
Holding of meetings in White
horse and Atlin within the last
few days by members of the
Canadian members of the Inter
nationafl Pacific-Alaska Highway
Commission reveal that our Can
adian cousins are getting down
to real business on the proposed
project.
For the first time, responsible
officials are getting out into the
region which the highway will
Berve, and seeking first hand evi
dence of the situation and needs,
and viewing the probable route
which the highway will traverse.
The Canadians are taking the
matter seriously— and apparent
fly are out to know just what’s
ahead before they tackle the big
job. All along the general route
from the present British Colum
bia road system to the heart of
the Yukon, the interest is keen.
In various communities move
ments are developing to have
the main highway go their way
or at least to get close branch
line connections.
The Canadian Commission is
to meet soon with the American
Commission, w'hen some definite
Joint program may be outlined
for recommendation to Washing
ton and Ottawa, seat of the Can
adian government. If all mem
bers of the two commissions re
ceive as keen support as now
evidenced in the British Colum
bia and Yukon areas it may not
be long until a definite program
will be launched for the open
ing of a great trunk system that
will connect the heart of Alas
ka and the Yukon with the pop
ulous centers of the continent.
Current Comments
Written From
Washington
The old saying 'that it makes
all the difference in the world
whose ox is being gored, coupl
ed with the mistaken notion that
Washington folk have a soft snap
anyhow, cause the rest of the
■country to pass lightly over the
woes of the District of Columbia:
but it may still be in order to
note that Congress has placed
upon residents of the District,
the heaviest local income tax in
the land. Possibly the common
good demanded the levy. The
same cannot be said of the pro
vision which exempts Members
of Congress and legislative em
ployees. Those not vitally con
cerned in District Taxation
should not placate anxiety for
A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A AAA
[ their own welfare with the thot j
that “it can’t happen here.” If
[ Congress can pass the tax buck I
in one place, it can do so in;
another. Those who have not yet i
suffered from buck-passing of
that kind, should keep their eyes!
; open. The voters back home may i
well question the sincerity of
legislators who are willing to let
the other fellow pay5 the tax
bills. Upon the other hand, it
should be understood distinctly
that all Members of Congress do
not hold that view.
The President has asked Con
gress for approximately four bil
i llion dollars, to be expended in a j
campaign against depression.
Considered in its least consequent
j ial aspect, the request is a stumb
| ling block and a rock of offence
' in the road to early adjourn- j
ment. Nothing is more trying ’
| than those jobs which turn up \
, at the last minute before a fish J
ing trip or a vacation. Conserva
tive Democrats, with consider-1
able Republican backing, are in
clined to “view with allarm.” ev
j en though it is planned that the
money shall go to projects cap
able of paying it back. The best
I known beneficiaries, to mention j
a few, are federal housing, roads, I
rural electrification and farm se-'
curitv.
The last few days witnessed 1
the entrance of the United States
j into a treaty of a kind to which j
j she had never before been a sig-1
| natory, namely a barter pact. By
j the terms of the instrument, Brit
ish rubber will be swapped for
American cotton to be used in
wartime, the commodities speci
fied being those of which the re
cipient nations are sadly in need,
when emergency hampers the
usual course of trade. One ef
fect of the arrangement will be
to release much of the surplus
cotton held by the government
as security for loans. Canada
does not take kindly to the new
trade agreement between Britain
and the United States, perhaps
I because her own wheat crop
; might become something of a
1 drug on the market, if by later
treaties, England should find it
convenient to extend the plan to
' cover grain.
Best of the comic strips is the
one seen on any beach in the
1 summer time.
The worst of cowards is the
| one who knows what should be
; done and doesn’t do it.

j Whatever else a woman thinks
i of her husband, she always
I thinks his boss is underpaying
I him.

CONSOLIDATED OLYMPIC LINE, Nome, Alaska
Dear Sirs:
In answer to your request to the genenl public
for advertisements to be printed in The Nugget, it seems to
the writer, who heartily appreciates what you hav* already
done for this section of the world, is its own best idvertise
ment. I, therefore, suggest a simple statement of wiat I call:
SHIPPING FACTS
THE CONSOLIDATE OLYMPIC LINE.
1st. Established a new steamship line to Bering >ea ports,
this spring, at rates I understand average 10% or nore lower
than the rates whe have been paying.
2nd. The old company met your rates about the time the
El Capitan sailed.
3rd. I figure the four ships counting the El Capifcn, which
have already made trips to Seward Peninsula, hare carried
at least twenty thousand tons.
4th. Figured at only $4.00 per ton less than th< old rate
will mean $80,000 saving already this summer wheh is less
than half gone.
5th. I do not believe there is anyone who could help but
support the source from whence this saving cam* and thus
perpetuate the same.
