RAILROAD SHOWS PROGRESSIVENESS
According to .a recent announcement The Alaska Railroad pro
poses to put on a fast freight service between Seward and Fairbanks.
The railroad plans to run a Brill car carrying fast freight, perishables
and mail on a through run, stopping only at Curry to change crews.
We view this as one of the most progressive moves made by ttie
railroad since it was constructed. It indicates a change of attitude to
ward the Alaskan public in that the railroad now proposes, by offering
a needed service, to make a bid for the good will and business of the
interior towns. At the same time it must stand as a sad commentary
upon the blundering efforts of the Howell committee when they at
tempted, by increasing freight and passenger tariffs, to force the Alas
kan public to absorb the expenses of the entire project.
The Howell committee in its tariff “upping” proclivities were ap
parently blind to all the tenets of good business in that no considera
tion was given the possibility of setting up rates that not only were ex
cessive, but were an invitation to every dog musher, boat operator,
truck owner, and airplane carrier in the vicinity of the railroad to make
a bid for its business. Blind to the fact that the public cannot be blud
geoned into using the railroad when there are cheaper means of trans
portation, blind to the fact that the way to encourage use of the rail
road as a carrier is by giving a satisfactory service, and service at a
reasonable price is what the railroad has to sell.
Let the railroad offer a superior service, lower rates to a point at
which the public can afford and desires to use it, and the Congressional
committee will not be confronted with that dark spectre of the dog,
boat, truck and plane competition taking their business from them.
An eminent economist says: “Shortsightedness is one of the real
dangers of this new machine age.” Possibly it’s color blindness wherein
greenbacks have been turned to blues.
What we would like to see is Bishop Cannon trying to pour ice wat
er at an Irish wake.
All established and operating mines in the United States show an
increase in stock value and dividends for October and November.
“Healthful diets for reduced incomes.” (Heading) Putting a re
duced income on a diet is the last word in economy.
