JUDGE F. M. BROWN.
The announcement bulletined
yesterday by the Prospector that
the president had sent to the Sen
ate the name of Fred M. Brown
to. succeed Judge Overlieid was
received with great satisfaction
by the people1 of this town, and
as many of the citizens of Cor
dova and Seward had also re
quested the appointment of Judge
Brown it will be received by them
with equal gratification.
For twelve years Judge Brown
has been a citizen of this town,
and in those years he has gained
the respect and confidence of the
community. He has held public,
office with honor to himself and
to the town and his past life gives
assurance of greater honors to
come.
The appointment is a just re
cognition of capability and fitness
and reflects much credit on the
president, who made the appoint
ment, and honor to/ the district,
in which the Judge has lived.
We congratulate Judge Brown
upon the. high honor which has
come to him. We thank the pres
ident for, the appointment, of an
Alaskan, who has earned by hon
est living the confidence of the
community. The administration
of justice in Alaska has taken an
other forward step in the confi
dence of the people.
THE ALASKA AND PANAMA
RAILWAYS.
Delegate, Wiekersham of Alas
ka has just given the Senate Com
mittee on Territories bis view re
garding construction of govern
ment railways there. He testifies
that the government would ef
fect great economies in the
transportation of Jts supplies if
the railways now under the con
trol of the monopolists were ex
tended under control id' the gov
ernment. The delegate neglected
to say how Alaska suffers under
a monopoly which is controlled
by government quite as securely
as any railway could lie. It is
not to be supposed, or allowed,
that the government should op
erate its railways differently from
other railways under the control
of the Inter-state Commerce
Commission, which was estab
lished for the control ■ »f all rail
ways. Neither did the delegate
say what might be the limit of
the government’s loss on its gov
ernment railway over and above
Jany economies which it might
take in the transportation of its
supplies. If the government
should keep any balance sheet—
in defiance of time honored neg
lect to do so—it could be balanced
by a suitable entry to the credit
of experience gained.
i ne people are aiso uaianciug
their books of account with an
other government railway, that at
Panama. In contrast with the
glowing promises of what might
be accomplished for the relief of
Alaska by a government railway
may be set over the accomplish
ment at Panama. Nobody has
done this better, than Frank
Trumbull, who has just return
ed from an inspection _of the ca
nal and the railway, and who has
the experience to make his ob
servations trustworthy and in
structive. He says:
“The average capitalization of
United States railroads is ab< ut
$00,000 a mile. We! paid to the
French nearly $200,000 a mile,
and we are spending about $200,
000 a mile more to relocate and
rebuild most of it. The gross
earnings of the Panama railroad
are about $92,000 a mile per an
num—as against $11,000 a mile
average in the United States. The
first-class passenger rate is five
cents a mile, and its average rate
per ton mile four cents, as againsl
an average of three-fourths ol
one cent per ton mile in the Unit
ed States; and when the railwaj
was threatened with congestion
the company simply notified pros
pective patrons that it would not
take any additional business.”
Mr. Trumbull might have add
ed that the government railway is
still doing business with its
transcontinental competitors in
the same bad old way. Altogeth
er Alaska might well consider
whether il would not fare better
under privately owned and pub
licly regulated monopoly Ilian
unde'r government monopoly,
which is as like the other sorl as
another pea from the same pod,
distinguished only by a some
what less regard for the regula
tions which if establishes for oth
ers, and which at any time are
liable to be imposed upon itself.
Assuming that the appropriation
of $35,000,000 now pending
should bo authorized, it is plain
that all of it would be marked
off the net value to the govern
ment of its coal lands, now so
thoroughly conserv,e|l as to be
worth nothing to anybody. That
amount, of money might construct
half as much mileage as would
be built by those looking to pro
fits for their reward. And if Pan
ama offers any precedent, the
rates on the government railway
would be above those on the pri
vately owned and publicly regu
lated roads. It, would seem as
though the entry to experience in
the people’s balance’ sheet is
about as large as the account
would stand—New York Times.
