GETTING IT GOING AND COMING
Dang it! We no sooner get a loving tap on the
shoulder one day than we get a kick in the pants the
next.
Ernest Walker Sawyer wires us that he is recom
mending a coaling station at Seward and an aviation
base and everything and we begin to have rosey
dreams. The air waves have hardly cooled off before
along comes another Washington dispatch saying the
Senate railroad investigating committee recommends
an increase of ten cents a mile for passengers and 50
percent increase in freight rates.
Now we won’t be able to bum coal at all and won’t
have the price of a ticket to go to Moose Pass to get
warm. Whut a life! Whut a life!
JUST YOU WAIT
Don’t get excited. Keep calm, cool and collected!
Keep down your blood pressure. Don’t think that just
because that Senatorial Alaska Railroad investigating
committee are ripping the railroad up the back and
telling what a hard country* we’ve got to operate in
and asking for a raise in passenger and freight rates
to a prohibitive figure when it comes to developing the
country, that they are going to get away with it.
Wait till Senators Pittman and Oddie of Nevada
go into action, and Hy Johnson of California; Walsh
of Montana, and Jones of Washington, Copeland of
New York, and more too numerous to mention who are
friends of Alaska. Boy, there’s going to be gore to
clean!
LACK OF CONSISTENCY
If the Alaska Railroad raises its freight rates it
can be taken for granted coal prices will jump $1 a ton
unless the coal operators cut down the price at the
mine. Coal has been delivered in Fairbanks for less
than $3 per ton; later, other grades of coal went for
less than $4 a ton, then up to $6 and now we under
stand, it is bringing around $8 at the mine. Add the
freight cost, demurrage, time for taking it out of cars
and hauling, leaves little margin for the dealer. If an
increased freight rate becomes effective, it is going to
reflect on the Alaska coal industry, the very thing we
have always thought, the railroad wanted developed to
the fullest extent on account of more tonnage revenues.
INCREASE, DON’T CUT DOWN
When business slacks off and hard times arrive
the proper thing for business firms to do is to adver
tise more, whether it be in a small town or in a metrop
olis. The American Tobacco Company knows this is
true as witness their recent press dispatch in wilich
they laud newspaper advertising in a big way and an
nounced they have begun the largest Lucky Strike ad
vertising campaign in the history of the company. They
are what they are, they concede, because of the power
of newspaper advertising. We might add, and also be
cause their publicity is backed up by an A-l product
Senator Copeland of New York hit squarely on the
head when he stated he was surprised at the Senate
Alaska Railroad investigating report, just submitted,
that the committee recommended increase in rates be
cause of inefficiency in management. No surer way to
retard development could take place than by enforcing
rate increase. The development of resources along the
railroad belt is the only solution for lack of revenue.
