MORE ON TRIBUNE
(Continued from Page One)
Col. Richardson raised the question
as to whether the United States, by
its purchase of Alaska, from Russia
for $7,200,000 obtained as much of a
bargain as has been supposed when it
is considered that the Government
has since that time expended $200,
000,000 on the Territory without any
return comparable to that in connec
tion with the Louisiana Purchase
which cost $27,000,000 and now sup
ports 21,000,000 people with an estim
ated wealth of more than $60,000,000.
The Richardson article has attracted
wide attention and has been discuss
ed pro and con in debates in Congress.
Alaska has its defenders in both
branches of Congress. Senator Willis
(Rep. O.), who visited the Territory
last summer, was most active in de
feating the amendments offered by
Senator Howell to the appropriation
bill in the Senate. Rep. Vestal
(Rep. Ind.,) who also was a visitor in
Alaska last year, has sought to justify
the Governmental expenditures in Al
aska in replying to criticisjn express
ed in the House.
SERVES ONE FIRM ONLY
J The specific proposals of Senator
HoweLl in connection with the appro
priation bill, and which he will renew
when the proposed investigation gets
under way, are that the Government
! discontinue the operation of a 39-mile
■stretch of narrow gauge which runs
from Fairbanks northwest to Chatani
j ka and also 114 miles of road at the
southern end from Seward to Anchor*
, age.
| The 39 mile stretch, according to
his contention, is operated solely for
the convenience of the Unified States
Smelting Refining and Mining Co., a
Boston corporation, which he says
made a net profit in its various activi
i ties last year of $4,000,000. This com
pany should operate the line itself,
Senator Howell asserts.
The lower end of the road from Sew
ard a portion on the Gulf of Alaska,
| to Anchorage, is not necessary, he
says, because of the fact that Anch
orage, which is on Cook Inlet, furnish
es a suitable harbor for ocean vessels.
Senator Howell also thinks that the
section from Nenana to Fairbanks, a
distance of 56 miles, eventually should
be abandoned.
$900,000 DEFICIT
By making these reductions in op
erating mileage, leavfng about 300
miles still in operation, Senator How
ell thinks that the annual deficit can
be curtailed measurably.
The appropriation bill recently un
der consideration provides $1,300,000
for the Alaskan railroad for the fiscal
year 1929, $900,000 of which repre
sents an operating deficit and $400,
000 proposed expenditures for new
equipment.
The operating deficit fell below
$1,000,000 for the first time in the fis
cal year 1927. In* 1924 it was $1,813,
in 1925, $1,673,000; in 1926, $1,169,000,
and in 1927, $900,000. To these sums
i acording to Sefiator Howell should be
! added probably $l;8OO,QO0 annually for
depreciation. ’
“I belieTe in development,” said
Senator Howell in giving his view of
lae Alaskan citation. “I believe in
doing all that is possible for Alaska,
but there are certain limits beyond .
which we should not go, arid beyond
which it is not necessary to go.
“The important fuhction of this rail
road is connecting th© Gulf of Alaska
with a navigation of fhe Yukon river,

like an arrow from a bow
Buick for 1928 gets away in traffic like
an arrow from a bow!
Watch the Buicks next time you drive
downtown. See how easily they step out
in front when the signal changes. And
note how they give other cars the slip
in the friendly rivalry of traffic.
You cannot say you know the full
meaning of “performance” until you’ve
driven a Buick for 1928.
