THE POUND OF FLESH
Less than one-half ton of freight arrives for a local
business establishment. It has a sight draft attached,
which means that the goods could not be removed from
the warehouse of the United States government dock
until the full charges, including purchase price and the
freight, were liquidated.
The brief period of 30 days elapses before the con
signee can pick up the freight. For occupying a space
30 x 44 inches, four feet high the consignee was charged
$11.56, or $1.15.06 for each square foot of space occupied
during the 30 days. . •
Herein reveals a great secret which should banish
for all time the question of deficit of the Alaska Rail- j
road: There is sufficient space in the warehouses which, j
if rented at the rate of $1.15.06 per square foot, would!
give a yearly return of $4,142,150 if packed to the roof.
Think of it! The deficit last year was $177,288. Here 1
we have a surplus of $3,964,867! Eureka!
Of course some unfeeling public spirited citizen
might knock the tar out of the surplus by pointing that
the City of Seward is entitled to 10 cents per ton for!
every ton of commercial freight passing over the dock,
despite the fact that a former Secretary of the Interior
repealed the law governing such cases simply by divert- j
ing this revenue to the Federal government.
' Here it is best to stop figuring lest we wipe out our
surplus and pile up another deficit which would make
- the $177,283 look like a bit chip in a faro game. The gov
ernment has been sequestering this 10c a ton for 16
years, or since the railroad entered the operating busi
ness over its then completed lines.
When a turkey gobbler has to cart in a pile of stones
and set on them in an effort to raise a family it shows
how far the birth control fad has gone.

JUNIOR-SENIOR
ENTERTAINMENT BROT
FORTH MUCH TALENT
Raggedy Ann ‘n’ Andy, Cinderel
la, songs and instrumental melo
dies, dances, solos, a pantomime
sketch and a play all were part of
the Junior-Senior What-Not pro
gram given Saturday evening in
the school auditorium.
Beginning at 8 o’clock, talented
school students and townspeople of
whose alibities no one was aware,
made their public debut to an au
dience, whose laughter and ap
plause gave proof and assurance
that the program was certainly a
success.
The performance was given only
one night, and its proceeds were
to be used to aid in financing the
semi-annual and the Senior ban
quet.
