TARIFF INCONSISTENCIES
_
Protective tariffs were conceived as a principle for!
fostering industry. Likewise were mail and other sub- j
sidies created with the view to assisting in development;
of industry as well as for the general welfare. Evidently j
the Senate committee conceived the idea that the national j
policy did not apply to Alaska save as it applied to mail!
when it came to such matters as The Alaska Railroad, j
They boosted passenger rates 40 per cent and freight
rates from that figure to 100 per cent.
It now develops that chickens are coming home to
roost, and that when General Manager Ohlson goes to
Washington in December, he will carry with him a bal
ance sheet written mostly in red, with a dot here and there
representative of a small margin or revenue. The deficit
of the railroad promises to over-balance any previous
records. And all because of a misguided policy and nat
ural resentment shown by the people of the Railroad Zone
who sought other means for receiving their freight and
who either refused to travel or utilized water and air
plane.
Some idea of what a mess has been created, came to
light today when a shipment of ore was received from the
Rosness & Larsen and Babcock & Downey mines, Nuka
Bay. It had been customary to charge $5.00 per hour for
use of the railroad crane for transferring ore from boats
to the dock. This rate has been doubled as was disclosed
when the announcement was made that the crane would
be available for $10.00 per hour. There were 22 tons to
be unloaded. Quite an upset, both for the mines and the
skipper who hauled the ore.
There was no use to kick unless one was prepared to
direct it to the Secretary of the Interior and the Howell
committee. It is a matter of their creation and not that
of the management of the railroad.
Colonel Ohlson is prepared to make a fight for down
ing all rates to the original figures before their upping.
Here is a little item that should carry weight, especially
under interpretation of spirit and purposes of tariffs
whether imposed for imports or railroads.
Big oil interests in the States are turning to gold
mines which report harbors well for Alaska. The con
stant upheaval and warring between the oil interests,
prices and over-production, makes the oil game these days
a hazardous one.
No city can have prosperity if the people and the
business men do not patronize each other.
