PROPOSES TO LEASE ALASKA \
CO.tH LANDS.
Seattle Man Offers Royalty Of 80
Cents Per Ton-Charges Lobbying
For Another Scheme.

For Another Scheme.
Washington, Jan. 25.-A new and
somewhat sensational factor appear
ed suddenly today to add intensity
t2 the already sufficiently excited sit
uation over the Alaska coal lands, on
the eve Of the beginning of the Bal
linger-Pinchot investigation, which
largely concerns that question. John
F. Ballaine Of Seattle, said to be the
largest individual property owner I'm
Alaska, made a proposition in writ
Ing to the senate committee on terri
tories, of which Senator Beveridge Of
Indiana Is chairman, Offering to the
government royalty of so cents a
ton Of coal mined, for the lease Of S.
600 acres Of some coal lands in Alas
ka in the Katalla and Matanuska dis
tricts. Such a tonnage royalty would
net to the government. Mr.. Ballaine
said, amounts as high as $4,000, OoO
per hundred acres.
This proposal contemplates a radi-
cal departure from past practices in
the governments disposal Of the
Alaska coal lands, and it comes
avowedly to do battle with another
proposition, embodied in a bill which
has been prepared, but not yet intro
duced, designed to permit the sale or
lease Of such lands at a rate Of SO
per acre. 1t is said that the general
features Of the plan have the appro-
val Of officials high in the admins
tration and of influential members of
both houses Of congress, including
some Of the prominent insurgent Re-
publicans and Delegate Wickersham
Of Alaska.
Mr.. Ballaine in his Letter to Sena-
tor Beveridge offers to enter into q
bond Of $1,000,000 with the govern
ment for the performance of his part
OF the agreement, which he proposes,
and he makes the charge that "other
interests" have now at work in Wash
ington lobby, headed by a former
United States SENATOR" in support of
the bill referred to above, under the
provisions, of which, he declares, the
government would extend an uncon-
ditional guarantee to railroad or
railroads which these interests pro-
pose to build in Alaska, and would
virtually donate to them at $40 per
acre one or more tracts of 5000. acres
each to be selected by them.
Mr.. Ballaine asked congress to au-
thorize the head Of a department to
be designed in the legislation to en-
ter into lease with q coal company
to be organized by him for 5000
acres Of Matanuska coal land under
all the provisions for regulation and
against monopolistic control Of prices
as indicated in the bill recently in
troduced by Senator Nelson in con-
formity with the recommendation Of
Mr.. Ballinger. This company will
pay the United States and Alaska
rayalty of so cents a ton for the coal
as mined. Mr.. Ballaine states in his
proposal that veins averaging a total
thickness Of 20 feet would yield, ac-
cording to standard measurements,
total in excess Of 100000 tons
from the 5000 acres, making a roy
atty of s5o,000,oo0 for this compare
lively small area.

The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1910-03-11

received land grants receive about
40 per cent less per pound for
carrying the mails than the roads
that have received no land grants,
but the rate still seems unreasonab'y
high. For example, in case the
amount carried is 5000 pounds of
mail matter per day. This is
trife more than S68 per ton per mile
for the year, an average Of more
than I85 cents for each mile that a
ton of mail is carried each day, and
more than I8 times the cost of
carrying freight on the average.
OF course il is not to be supposed
that mail can be carried as cheapiy
as ordinary freight, but should tn.
government pay IS times as much
as the average price charged for
hauling freight?
Aad if this charge is passed what
possible excuse is there for paying q
rental of more than SO per cent of
the fatal cost of the mail cars in
which the mail is carried? Verify,
verify the investigation of these
matters leads to the conclusion that
the government is willing goat and
that it might be sensible to own and
operate railroads Of our ewn.-Tom
McNeal in Mail and Breeze.
