Entered in the Anchorage Postoffice June 5, 1915, as second class matter

For President—CHARLES EVANS HUGHES.
For Delegate to Congress—JAMES WICKERSHAM.
HE IS WORKING FOR US.
, It is worthy of note that while his opponents are actively
employed in making their respective campaigns for election,
Delegate James Wickersham if? devoting his best energies in a
matter that is of vital concern to the people of'Alaska. This
question, which is about to be determined, is, as to whether
or not the interstate commerce commission, a federal organiz
ation, shall have jurisdiction over the making of freight and
passenger rates on the railway lines operating in Alaska, on
the steamship companies that are engaged in freight and pas
senger traffic from Puget Sound points to Alaska, and on
through freight coming from eastern points and destined for
Alaska. ' >
There are few questions that confront Alaska at the pres
ent time that so vitally concern this territory as the question
of passenger and freight rates. In the past the matter of pas
senger and freight rates rested wholly upon the whim or ca
price of the concerns engaged in the transportation business.
It is common knowledge that there is a definite understanding
among the big steamship transportation lines, else why should
the same rates be made by each and all of them? It is not a
matter of coincidence; it is a fixed agreement—nothing more
nor less.
The people of Alaska have long been at the mercy of these
transportation companies. We do not propose here to discuss
; the matter as to whether the rates are exorbitant or whether
they are just and fair. The point that we object to, on behalf
$ of the people of Alaska, is that we have nothing to say about
J;i the matter at all. And when we say “we” in this connection,
,, we mean the people acting through constituted authority, such
!! as the federal government.
Delegate Wickersham is seeking to bring about a correc
tion of this lamentable*condition. It was upon his initiative
that tlie'interstate commerce commission was lead to take a
hand in the matter and definitely determine, for good and all,
as to its status with respect to Alaska transportation. And
once establishing the fact that it has complete jurisdiction—
and we are convinced that it has such jurisdiction—the people
will have a chance to make an appeal to the commission, if
they believe that the freight and passenger rates are too high.
Delegate Wickersham is working in* behalf of the people
of Alaska^ When we go to the polls on ejection day, let us re
member that fact, and vote accordingly.
JUST A LITTLE WARNING.
It will not be advisable for those high in authority with
the Alaskan Engineering Commission to be perniciously active
in politics. Those in authority must remember that this pro
ject is a non-political project. This condition must continue.
This great development plan must not be dragged into the po
litical world, where it would be at the mercy of any political
party. It must continue to have the unqualified support of
members of all political parties, on the high ground of its bene
fits to the big, undeveloped territory. This is not to say that
employees of the Commission may not vote, or anything of that
kind. It is the duty of all qualified electors to vote, and vote
as they wish.
If it is within the limits of human endeavor, the manage
ment of the telephone service between Anchorage and Seward
informs The Times that the line will be kept up tomorrow aft
ernoon and night. A patrol force will be on duty to repair
with all possible expedition breaks that might occur during
this auspicious period.—We have no doubt but that Anclior
age will receive the election returns without undue delay. The
telephone management is to be commended in this matter.
“Alaska for Alaskans,” shouts Mr. Sulzer. Some of us
old sourdoughs have been advocating that doctrine for lo
these many years. It is nothing new; it is nothing original.
It is what all Alaskans, irrespective of party affiliations, are
advocating. Mr. Sulzer evidently labors under the impression
that the honor for this slogan, which is bewhiskered with age,
lies with him. It is to laugh!
The senatorial contest lies between George Dooley and
John Ronan. Mr. Ronan is unfortunate in that he is a victim
of the old saying, which is applicable in this, case, “What a
man does lives after him.”
George B. Grigsby is an Alaskan. His chief opponent,
George B. Schofield, is a bird of passage that summers in Alas
ka and winters in Seattle. Let’s support the “home product.”
Be loyal to your town and turn out and vote. Let us show
competing towns that we have the votes. Tn political matters,
the vote of a town is the measure of its importance.
We don’t have to urge the people of the Cook inlet country
to vote for Frank B. Cannon. He would be elected if he him
self made a canvass against it.
Ed. Wood, the Alaska trail blazer, the pioneer Third di
vision freighter. Don’t forget this worthy sourdough when
you go to the polls.
Vote for the right Mr. Henry, which is “William t\
Henry.”

at both stores.

Music makes your home more cheerful. To spend an even
ing with a few good friends around a good fire and listen to a
new song by Harry Lauder, or to a selection from the old fav
orite like The Bohemian Girl,” or to roll up the rugs, move the
table and have an impromptu Fox Trot or a one-step to the
strains of Marella’s Cain on a Victrola—the only phonograph
worth having.
We have the largest assortment of Victor machines and
new records. You are cordially invited to inspect and try any
new records.

I gift on all occasions. Only $2.50 each.
